Dude. I was thinking of buying chevy stock at 3 bucks a share.

Then I heard the millionth Chevy Volt commercial(what do those cost to air?)

They breathlessly told me I COULD get 40 mi range without using a single drop of gas if fully charged (is that like 8 hrs of 20 amp draw on my ‘lectric bill?)

Then they told me they had all the hotshot engineers working on the battery’s as they spoke (top dollar yukapuks and you dont even have a design?)

Then came the disclaimer “may not meet performance expectations”

Did I mention this POS will have a higher sticker price than what is currently on sale?

I want to know what kind of idiots we have in this country to think they are saving energy with an electric vehicle? How does everyone think the electricity is generated to charge the vehicles? What about landfills full of old batteries?

IMHO natural gas is probably one of the best alternatives, but what do I know, I was against ethanol, too, when ethanol was "cool" for the very reasons it is going the way of the dinosaurs.

Aloha My!

Just wait till you have to pay your electric bill at the end of the month.....and change out the battery after 3? to 5 years.

It's the old 'Spend dollars to save pennies' drill.
