Automobiles Questions and Answers

i) Why are wheels always circular and why are they always  made of rubber and not steel? (ii) What is the purpose of using shock absorbers? (Does the shape and material of the tyre have anything to do with it?)

What are the fines or penalties for driving on a closed highway under G.S. 136-26 in North Carolina?

Is there any pattern or deeper meaning to the model names given to automobiles? We had a discussion in regards to car model names, such as  "MUSTANG," "CHALLENGER," "CAMARO," "FIREBIRD," and "CAMRY."  There is belief there is a pattern in selecting these names and debate has arisen as to their origination and when the words entered the english language. Truthfully, this subject never even entered our minds, until it was brought up in casual conversation. I would like to write a paper about it, but I'm not sure even how to research it.
