We aspired to be the fast-moving vehicle platform for innovations from a space in high flux: the deliberate first mover. I believed, and still believe, that with resources we could deliver a lighter weight electric vehicle, purpose-built for the daily drive; that we could integrate the newest battery and electric drivetrain technology more quickly with our lower minimum efficient scale production system; that we could lead the charge into the full benefits of a connected vehicle, a peer-to-peer and traditional carshare-ready vehicle, and someday an autonomous vehicle; that we could introduce a buy local option to a manufacturing industry whose focus is very nearly the opposite; and that in doing so, we could bring incredible value to consumers whose needs have been so narrowly represented by the incumbent automakers.

Sorry. I've been to college and I've got a degree in engineering but... what the f*** does any of this mean?????

It means they thought they could build a better mousetrap. Just one problem though, no mouse would be caught dead in it.

General George Washington’s Order Against Profanity

The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice hitherto little known in our American Army is growing into fashion. He hopes that the officers will, by example as well as influence, endeavor to check it and that both they and the men will reflect that we can little hope of the blessing of Heaven on our army if we insult it by our impiety and folly. Added to this it is a vice so mean and low without any temptation that every man of sense and character detests and despises it.

Profanity: How small minds try to speak with strength?

“Acid” is making a comeback?

Pretentious “Green” snobbery and ignorance of reality are a recipe for disaster.

haha. You said it. I can always tell when someone doesn't know what the hell they are talking about. They can't state it simply for the common man or woman. I am a talker and have a hard time at times with summary, but when I know something no matter how complicated, I can generally summarize it at a minimum with a metaphor or a close simile in a worst case scenario.

This guy is just blowing smoke and large plumes of it. Like all great con artists . . . confuse 'em with your words. Swindle 'em with you lengthy siren song.

I think he is saying in commie speak... that he envisions a future where no driver will be necessary and that we all just share our cars with each other. These cars... which will have full autopilot... will be available everywhere... we just have to get into the first car that comes along and go... and the best part is... that the government will pay for it all so it will not cost us anything. My head now hurts and I need Crown and water.

Oh, that's easy. It means when you're dealing with suckers like this:


Mayor, Dennis Donohue

Education: B.A. in History, University of San Francisco;
M.A. in Religious Education, Gannon University

...a scam artist like Mike Ryan can spout meaningless tripe and it'll be swallowed whole.

Can you imagine Ryan trying to peddle something like that to businessman C. Montgomery Burns?

...me neither.
