Consumer reports tested a 10 year old Prius with 200k.

Sounds good to me ... anyone liberal enough to buy an electric car and stupid enough to live in California deserves what will naturally flow from this.

NOTE to CA Freepers, both are required. I am not calling CA Freepers "stupid".

I’m pretty sure this has to do with the extortion money the government got out of VW for their cheating on the diesel emissions.

Yeah but that car costs around 100K, or around that so in a ‘low income neighborhood’ I doubt one would be found.

With a range of about 100 miles, these cars should be running out of power long before coming home. First, they have to drive to the rich neighborhoods, then they have to drive around to case the homes, then they have to load it up with the burgled loot.

Will they have enough juice to make it back home before running dry? And what about the occasional police chase?

"...This is a great idea based on sound economic principals..."

The lack of a sarc tag makes your comment all the more funny.

I did indeed LOL in my cube.

Nope. Not satire. We were hoping kalifornia was satire. We were actually hoping it was fiction. An alternate universe that didn't really exist. Then beings from there migrated out into civilized parts of the country. Now, those parts of the country are equally filthy as kalifornia.

Kalifornia is a herpes virus. It contaminates every thing it touches.

More like spread it around for votes.
At the CHA someone with the clout would select the recipient.

Some actually would come to work. One got along with one of our trainees and they would go out after work.
The same individuals apartment was broken into, they took everything, yes everything! Clothes, pots pans a radio, his only appliance.

Someone thought he had two nickels to rub together.

See how it trickles down to the lowest levels.

Just as soon as they can find one, they will bring it back to the neighborhood.

shorthand for California is ‘CA’

Most of you probably think that is an abbreviation

In fact it stands for Crazy America.

Why force the homies to leave their neighborhood looking for prey, when you can draw them instead into their neighborhood!
