Main reasons I will never buy a hybrid:
I don’t want to look like an idiot.
If I’m in a crash, I’d like a little bit of protection.
A hybrid will never be able to pull my 14’ enclosed duck/goose hunting trailer.
I have not been convinced that the worst gas guzzling, smoke spewing, oil leaking vehicle on the road impacts the environment one bit.
I also have not been convinced that electric cars are “good for the environment” (I want to puke every time I hear that stupid phrase!)
— and —
ELECTRIC CARS ARE PART OF A LIBERAL, PROGRESSIVE, DESTRUCTIVE AGENDA.
Never say never...
