Saturdays -- now with more coffee and cars
Cars & Coffee, a Saturday morning cruise-in held at the Central Market in Shoreline, has started up again for the summer. About 40 cars have shown up for the first few weekends, including Teslas, low riders, hotrods and classics. All vehicles types are welcome at the free gatherings, which run from 7-10 a.m. More information is available at carsandcoffeewa.com.

Ford puts money and labor into 'green' cars
Working to make a quarter of its vehicles run at least partly on electricity, Ford plans to invest $135 million and add 220 jobs at three Michigan facilities to help it introduce five such models by 2012. The models will include two electric vehicles and three new hybrids. Ford currently sells four hybrids and plans to introduce a gasoline-electric version of its Lincoln MKZ sedan (shown above) this year. An electric version of the Transit Connect van will also go on sale this year, with an electric Focus due out in 2011.
