I put in my time in old VW bugs, and even a Chevrolet Vega(ly-a-car). Now, I want my relaible comfort, since we tend to take long trips.
e.g., it was CHEAPER for the wife & I to drive a Ford Expedition from Rapid City, SD to Dover, DE & back to pick up a collectable pinball machine, than it was to get it shipped. Add in visits to friends along the way, and a side trip to Niagra Falls, and we had a trelatively inexpensive vaction as well.
Same thing with the F-350 & our 14,000# flatbed, to pick up a small dozer in Idaho.
Try that in a Volt.
I won't be satisfied with anything less than Fusion power.
And no, I'm not holding out for Antimatter engines. They're more dangerous than anyone lets on, you know.
Oh, and antigravity propulsion would be nice, too.
