Owning an electric vehicle sounds like a pain in the a s s

What part of 15 BEST-SELLING CARS IN AMERICA do you not understand?

Are you really that dense?

No-one is forcing you to buy a Volt. You want a fast car, buy a fast car. You won't find one for less than $35k anyway.

Substandard, by definition, is below average.

Take a midol, maybe that will calm you. I don't see why this is so difficult for you. How is posting the acceleration times of the top 15 selling vehicles even relavent to the poing I was making? I will reiterate, 8.5 seconds for a zero-60 time is substandard for me, but I don't expect you to understand anything about performance.

I drive an S4, so what, you going to quote me the 0-60 acceleration times of the top selling cars in Australia now for my daily dosage of useless information?

That would be true..... if my car weren't modified.

Sure, Mr Internet Tough Guy. Everything's substandard next to your souped-up turbocharged Audi.

it's a good thing you don't sell for a living

Yes, it is. Rob is super cereal about his cars and mark is super super duper cereal about his facts.

for the all electric cars, what about traffic? they say it will go X miles on a charge, what if it hits heavy traffic?

i know in snow country, highways are turned into parking lots because people don't fill up, they get on the highway, run into traffic, it snows and snows while they are sitting there, traffic moves slower and slower, they can't make it to an exit for gas so they run out and so the parking lot is started.

i could see this happening with all electrics in simply heavy traffic due to rain. just one car that won't move during rush hours will cause a whole lot of trouble on the road. tow truck companies are going to love the electric car.

and exxon loves you and your little message board infomercials, dead dix.

what tree-hugging e-car owners don't want to talk about is after 5 years or so, they will be putting their old and highly toxic batteries into the environment, and getting new ones...
