Exit Volt. Open hatchback. Lookie here, a rifle rack! Admittedly short. Mounted in the functional equivalent of a trunk. So who's selling the lemons, PolitiFact?

Yep. That is a gun rack.
What the idiot leftist tired to pass off as a gun rack was all over the board. I even saw one that was made out of PVC pipe & fittings with nylon cord. But in their feeble minds, it was a gun rack.
Typical leftie thought from a useful idiot.
...I wonder where the electricity comes from...oh, I know! The wall!
I was just thinking....how come these Volt cars aren't Diesel...what good is an environ-weenie car if you can't run them on Algae or Waste Cooking Oil?
Definitely not the "smug" car the weenies are portraying it to be...you should be able to fuel it with $26/gallon Algae too.
“And I keep trying to get across to my liberal friends: You cannot put a gun rack in a Volt.”
Um....Isn’t this statement figurative? What kind of complete moron would waste time trying to literally disprove it?
Greetings Texas Fossil:
A useful rifle rack wouldn’t fit the back window of our 1998 Ford Ranger, either.

It’s not the gun rack you can’t get in a Volt. It’s the yeehaw.
Exactly.
This journalist totally missed the point of the statement.
Newt was pointing out that no sane HUNTER would drive a volt into the woods (they’d be afraid of starting a forest fire) and no sane Police Officer would use such a car (noticed I said ‘sane’) to chase the bad guys.
Mariano the Morono...that's who :)
ROTFL. What has this world become. Wimps and typical snotty people who have no real connection that people want to pick a larger vehicle vs a crappy green car. We want the freedoms of choosing which vehicle to buy. Newt’s point exactly.
Wait, wait, wait... What? They make an ashtray for the Volt?
What kind of complete moron would waste time trying to literally disprove it?
Probably your everyday, average, run of the mill RuPaul/0bama supporter.

The Volt will die of it’s own inefficiency.
Admittedly in this article it only goes 35 miles on a charge.
I have to wonder how far it will go with an air conditioner running or the heater on.
After 35 miles it runs on gas. Chevy says when running on gas it gets 35 mpg, but I have heard figures in the 25 mpg class.
The thingtakes 6 hours to charge, you can look for big electric bills. Probably higher than 30 miles on a gallon of gas will cost.
It is a complete and utter failure.
The lefties are not short on ignorance. Even ignorance of their ignorance.
After the electric charge peters out it still keeps going on gasoline. It’s not like the car strands you. But it’s still a gimmick that is way more expensive than it’s worth. (Unless you like the fact that it is super silent when running with electricity, something that could be used to advantage for stealth surveillance.)
Greetings libertarian27:
If Volt came in a diesel model, market as mountable under the bed, in the spare tire hanger.

Chick is a smarmy idiot. she could have ended the engineering machinations and installed a vertical gun rank which would hold most long guns.
Just bolt the thing to the floor or the back thread driver seat or passenger seat.
He name is Willoughby? Fitting for a rat.
A camel is a horse designed by a committee.
In this case, a committee of union thugs, treehuggers, bureaucrats and other communists.
A whole 35 miles on a charge? It was supposed to go 70 miles.
This in a world where an electric car can get 100 miles on a charge.
Remember the EV-1 from the 1990s that GM made? Even that went farther on electricity.
Just jettison the electric battery pack and remengineering the Dolt to be a gas burning car. It might get 35 mpg on the highway like my Hyundai Sonata does.
The funny part is what if you forge charge it over night and happily get inthe car drive 25 miles and voila......Nova
