   Lessee....  Kidding's Missions in Life:   
   1.  To jerk hisself off   
   2.  To stalk gummer   
   3.. a. To never ever EVER understand the EV discussion   
        b.  To misrepresent every point possible, create as many strawmen as   
   possible.   
       c.  To write incoherently well, so Simpleton Plimpleton will blow him   
   regularly.   
      
      
   BTW, saw some Fit

   Yup.  At 45 psi, no less.  Reduced rolling friction.   
   Which is partially why I get 40+ mpg highway, and YOU get (all ICE) 32 mpg   
   in your BloatVolt.   
      
   And since I paid 50% less than what you paid for your Volt, AND I get   
   overall better gas mileage (for the mileage I drive), you will never ever   
   EVER break even.   
   And in the cases where you might get better gas mileage, your ROI will be   
   75+++ years.  Which was gone over in some detail already.   
      
   AND, the Fit is a *great* car.  Mebbe not the polish of a Volt, but cheep to   
   keep, hauls a *ton* of shit, and I don't have to shit in my pants about any   
   upcoming repair bills.   
   And ackshooly, the new Fits are perty polished.....  I"d be surprised if the   
   Volt had much over on them.....   
      
   I have occasion to hop rides with many co-workers, with far more expensive   
   rides than mine, and guess what, it just don't make a fukn difference   
   whether I put my sweaty ass on leather or cloth.  In fact, I prefer cloth.   
      
    These dumbmuthafuckas live for 20 Hz bass, I couldn't give a fuck.  They   
   want rainbow colored digital displays with connectedness up the ass, and my   
   thought is, I got 5,000 sq feet of fuknHOUSE, I no need no living room in my   
   fukn car, or even g-d cupholders.   
   In fact, I cain't wait to get OUT of my fukn car -- handy as it is.  It is   
   merely a means from Point A to Point B, and I keep Points A and B as close   
   together as possible.   
      
   YOUR priorities are the priorities of the typical asshole, that gummer talks   
   about culling.  And indeed you need to be culled, for a wide variety of   
   reasons.   
   You proly hang out of the window of your Volt, going Psssst Pssssst to   
   under-age girls.   
   Assholes like you pretend to know the subtleties of how a car handles,   
   corners, alladat shit, unaware that 1 in 10,000 people have the driving   
   skill/sense to be able to distinguish roll, under/oversteer, etc in ANY car.   
   You are all fullashit.   
   But you prattle on and on, when really the only thing you are capable of   
   doing toward assessing a car is.....  kick the tires.   
   And, of course, suck GMs dick, and wiping up with their press releases.   
      
   'tis what 'tis.   
      
   But the bottom line remains, you don't have a fukn clue as to what a   
   "simplified Volt" is, or its significance.   
   Repeat after me:  Angst-Mo-Bee-uhl....
