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

[Amby 490]

does sound like a pain in the azz! plugging a car in doesn't sound like a fun time at all!

Charles - trucks are a pain in the #### to drive!

[Ban Hammer 12,848]

i'd rather die than be caught owning one of those

you don't know what you are missing.

Charles - trucks are a pain in the #### to drive!

they are probably safer than some of those shoe boxes you drive.

you don't know what you are missing.

with not a single pickup truck in neighborhood or in any of the parking lots at work... all im missing is being a laughingstock.

it would be the polar opposite of driving to work in a smartcar, but just as smirk-worthy.

And when that day finally does come that you spend that much, are you really going to spend it on a pvssy mobile that does 0-60 in just over a minute?

Talking out of your аss, as usual?

The Volt does 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds. It's not super-quick - you're not going to race Camaros with it -

but it's faster than your average Honda CR-Z and way faster than Toyota Prius.

It's called sarcasm. Look into it sometime. You may be ok with substandard auto performance, but I'm not.

I have a truck but I only drive it when I need to. Kinda hard to drive a really low car on gravel or to tow stuff.

I suppose that my standard is different from yours. I've never owned a car that went that slow, so yes, I would call it substandard.

[^_^ 5,021]

I suppose Rob's position is that average is substandard.

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.

one more reason not to buy one.

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