The performance v6
The asian automaker has produced a pair of cars to compete head to head in sport appeal with audi,

Not that i don't love the lexus brand, but after spending time behind the wheel of this week's test car, the 2007 infiniti g35x, i am more convinced than ever that the g35s are aimed at a peppier sort of driver.

With touches of sleek audi here, humpbacked bmw there, and a distinctive bladed grille, the g35 has an aggressive, low stance.Its lshaped headlights set off the long, europeanstyle hood, and the windshield pillars rake back low and long.The taillights also are lshaped and add definition to a boxy trunk that looks as though it might be tight beneath the cover, but is far from it.

Dual exhaust ports emit a strong and sporty burble so loud i had to go easy on the neighbors when taking my morning drive to fetch the newspapers.I swear i could feel the ports' reverberations through the driver's seat.Add an allwheeldrive system, and you have a fun and adaptable automobile.

Rearwheeldrive g35s have a sixspeed manual transmission as an option, but the awd model comes only with a fivespeed automatic with manualshift option.True to the car's sporting overtones, the transmission in manual mode lets the driver decide how far to climb the revolutionsperminute band before shifting up.Downshifts were handled smoothly as well.

The new g35 struck me as having more lowend power than past models, but most noticeable was the powerful surge it used to pass in highway cruising.

There is a stiffness to its handling that is european in feel, and feedback from the front wheels was tactile.The allwheeldrive system monitors driver intent, wheel rotation and slippage, and driver mistakes, sending power fore and aft as needed for maximum traction.Coupled with traction control, the system has the ability to fix driver mistakes that can lead to understeer(Plowing)Or oversteer(Back wheels try to come around to the front).

Safe as the allwheeldrive system makes the car, it also is subtle enough that it does not intrude on what is basically a rearwheeldrive experience most of the time the car goes allwheel only when it is really required.

Antilock brakes, power brake assist, and dynamic stability control are standard safety features, as are front seat sideimpact air bags and front and rear side curtain air bags.

But that is only part of an impressive array of standard features in a vehicle that starts out at around $34, 000.Leather seating is standard, as are eightway power driver and front passenger seats, and a sixspeaker sound system with sixdisc cd changer.There's also a bigscreen information center behind the wheel between the speedometer and tachometer that provides details on fuel consumption, average speed, time elapsed, distance remaining before the fuel tank is empty, outside air temperature, and various warnings, such as tire pressure monitoring.

The nightlit steering wheel controls are for cruise control and audio functions.And while a center dash control resembles a computer mouse, there are key manual redundancies for some functions tuning the radio, for example that can be done with a knob or button.

Our test car went up $2, 150 in price thanks to an optional premium package that includes power sliding sunroof;Upgraded sound;Memory for the driver's seat, steering wheel, and outside mirror settings;

The g35 line has become the backbone of the infiniti brand, accounting for about onethird of all sales.Pretty remarkable for cars that a few years ago were called fancy nissans.
Tater to chip is a quick trip

Cape cod's workers aren't allowed to eat any chips at the factory, but everyone gets a box of potato chips every three months.Each box contains 16 bags.That's one bag of chips a week, with some left over.They even get some extra snacksize bags at halloween(For trickortreaters), and samples of any new flavor.

And even after spending all day making potato chips, workers still enjoy them.

People in different parts of the world enjoy very different flavors of potato chips.Jeremy selwyn tries to taste as many strangely flavored chips as he can.

Mr.He has tried about 400 different chips, ranging from sourcreamandclam flavored chips in maine to shishkebab flavored ones in egypt. "Everybody eats potato chips,"Selwyn says.

Potato chips were invented in the united states in the 1850s.They were first introduced outside the us in 1921, when they arrived in england.Ketchup chips can mainly be found in the northeast near the canadian border, while jalapeno pepperflavored ones are popular in the southwest.

Potato chips aren't everyone's favorite snack around the world.Children in greece, for example, prefer pistachio nuts.Crackers outsell potato chips in canada.Kids in finland like popcorn better.

And in latin america and the caribbean, yucca, a stringy root vegetable, is the preferred item to be turned into chips, selwyn says.

From luxury to grocery

Potato chips used to be served only at dinner and only in restaurants.It wasn't until 1895 that you could finally buy them in stores.

That year, william tappendon in cleveland, ohio, started making potato chips in his kitchen.He later converted a barn behind his house into a potatochip factory.Today, tappendon is much less wellknown than other potatochip pioneers.

Take earl wise, who found he had too many potatoes at his grocery in the 1920s.He began selling chips in brownpaper bags.At the same time, salie utz started making chips in hanover, pa.Herman lay, a traveling salesman, helped popularize chips in the american south in the 1920s.He sold them out of the trunk of his car.

You can still find wise, utz, and lay's potato chips in stores.

Pringles were named after pringle street in finneytown, ohio.Ruffles, the first ridged potato chip sold nationally, weren't named after anything in particular when they made their debut in 1958.

Until 1926, potato chips in stores were kept in cracker barrels or special glass display cases.Customers took them home in paper bags.

Then laura scudder, who owned a small chip shop in california, had an idea.She gave her employees sheets of wax paper.At night, they ironed the wax paper into bags to fill with chips the next day.Finally, customers could take home bags of chips that stayed fresh.
