I guess if they made an electric car, other than a Tesla, that had enough torque to pull my toys around, I'd probably had bought it. But....I elected to buy a new gas guzzler. Almost new - it was built in Dec 07 and I just purchased it June 2. And yes there were 2007 gas guzzlers sitting on the lot.

So when I'm not driving the gas guzzler I'll either be riding my bike with pedals, or in the golf cart, or driving the grocery getter that gets 29.2 mpg, is made of fiberglass, plastic, aluminum, composite, and balsa wood - check the avatar. Some of us still have the need for speed.

One more thing. The next time you drive your 50 mpg ? if you have such a vehicle, to the box store to purchase a 5 pc table & chairs, don't call me. I'll be too busy helping the 85 yo neighbor lady move her furniture to storage so Habitat for Humanity can claim it.
