Read his lips: no new gasoline.

[AAABEST]

Is there a member of the Bush family who's not a d-bag?

I'm asking because I can't think of anyone.

[LomanBill]

How many RINOcerouses can fit in one of those?

[Average Al]

Barbara wanted a car he could get out of the driveway....

[jjotto]

The Volt has a legitimate use as a toy for the wealthy, the same role electric cars have filled for 100 or more years.

[deport]

A birthday present.... I don’t know where Neil lives but if it’s in Houston he’ll have a hard time keeping up with the other vehicles in a battery powered Volt.

[Clara Lou]

So, Neil needs a car from Daddy? I suppose Neill is still busy trying to add up to zero.

[Bryanw92]

Big deal. The Chevy Volt is a $40k car that underperforms every compact car on the market and runs on coal. Just because some wealthy globalist douchebag can buy one to make a point and never drive it does not prove how wonderful the car is. Most of us can’t afford to make a $40k “statement”.

And if I did make a $40k “statement”, it would be a new Mustang GT 5.0 and my statement would be “Get out of my way, pathetic little electric car!”

[Old North State]

It's a great car for a multimillionaire octogenarian who doesn't drive, but that's not actually a great demographic. Kind of like an electric sports car that costs 100K.

Someone tell the morons at Autoguide.com that Bush Sr. was never a conservative...

[the invisib1e hand]

Oy. Izzee going "Jimmy Carter" on us?

otoh, I do respect him for trying new stuff, like skydiving at his age, puking at the big Japanese dinner, stuff like that.

[SoFloFreeper]

He can waste his money any way he chooses.

[Son House]

Trying to stereo type conservatives out of fuel efficient cars is wrong, most of us live within our means, and some of us even drive small cars to do that.

[VeniVidiVici]

Heck, remove the “bailout surcharge” and the AFL-CIO surcharge to cut the price in half, retain the $7000 tax rebate and then I’d buy one.

[RobbyS]

Ever since he lost the nomination to Reagan in 1980.Bush has been chaffing at the bit to show which side he is really on. The tax deal he cut with his soul-mates that cost him re-election was him being him.

[broken_arrow1]

HW was on stage with Obama here in Texas promoting “community service” - that should tell you something about the man who coined the phrase “New World Order”!

[Tupelo]

I see he bought it for Neil. Like most folks in Denver, (especially those that had money in Silverado) George HW Bush only trusts Neil for about 50-60 miles.
See. Like most times there is really a simple answer.

[old school]

He’s too freakin’ old to drive! This ain’t bumper cars.

[anoldafvet]

"there’s growing sentiment among the right that the car might not be that bad after all."

It's a piece of cr@p. The battery holds the energy equivelent of ONE GALLON of gasoline. Who would buy a car with a ONE GALLON gas tank?

Did anyone notice they have taken off the Volt commercial where the guy says that for going uphill "The battery powered generator kick is"? Maybe the gasoline powered generator, but why would you use a battery to turn a generator? If I didn't know better, I would say Obama wrote to commercial.

[celtic gal]

What a colossal disappointment the Bush Gang is...Only Larua has any standing with me...She was a great first lady. GW loved the military but the other things they seem to stand for leave people scratching their heads.

They are more of the same...RINO elites. Sad.
