Yeah, on planet "I believe bullshit - shovel it into my brain" it does. Time for you to switch your news sources.

First of all, I'm not too concerned about the environmental impact of electric cars. I was commenting on how people who try to do something good are looked down on for it because it's "different". And how anything that was ever near a hybrid or electric car has been pussified even if it's faster than "fast" cars. Also I don't know about your 80,000 miles comment. Seems excessive and slathered in propaganda

I like trees, but we don't have a physical relationship. I generate a lot of carbon with my little race cars, but I'm not threatened by electric cars. they make sense and I know that they can be fast and fun to work on so bring em on!
I was looking at a Leaf and if Nissan Japan had a leasing system that made sense I would have leased one. My car buddies thought I had given up on sports cars. No. Not all my cars have to be alpha type death machines. My BRZ is still stock and I love it. I would have loved a Leaf too. If they put more cars like these into production, sooner before later I will have one. |

Oh, it's only 1.8m. I guess I'll be picking one or two of these up next time I swing by France. Anyone else need anything whole I'm over there?

Piff, you guys. You want power and range, modify a golf cart. Look up the crazy shit you can do now.
Oh wait... You want that bling and status symbol, never mind.

Fuck.
If this our future, I'd better start recording the sound my exhaust makes banging up and down the gears so it can play in the background while I'm listening to music behind the wheel of my 'letrit whooshmeister. Fuck. |
