She seems to like it. I hate it. But then again, I hate almost everything that isn't my car. I don't even like driving the 8.

Ive seen one around here with a sticker that says "real patriots drive hybrids" wouldnt a real patriot drive an american car? Also, i want to print out some information on the environmental impact of those batteries and hand them out to these people.

Her commute is too far for a Leaf and the Volt hasn't been approved for anything yet. She's been watching it like a hawk.
The Volt hasn't been approved for what? They are on sale right now, and I see a few every morning on my commute.

Now the Volt does have some major problems, it starts on fire apparently and if the battery goes dead it bricks the car.

Actually... I just double checked. Looks like the Volt (and the plug-in Prius) was approved for Green CAV decals.

I'll have to ask her about that after work.

I can drive it into the ground for the rest of my life and still have less of an affect on the environment than what it takes to manufacture one of those things new.

sorry buddy but an eg6 with a b18c nets 25/31 mpg on premium fuel. try a cx motor.

One of my favorite cars ever made. If I had money to toss around I would have an 850CSi but my real dream is an LS2/6spd swapped 8. I saw that 700hp Dinan car a number of years ago - it was nuts.
