I’ve had two Focuses and liked them very much. We now have an Explorer, which we LOVE, especially since we live in the snow belt.
I’ll go you one better. Don’t put up any signs and when someone plugs in at your place of business call the cops and have them charged with theft of services.
Same for me but to the 70’s show. I can’t stand that butt pirate

Kindly explain how Krauthammer "gave" America Obama. Krauthammer is only one person, one vote. Even with his influence, he can't "give" elections. I'd like to know how you make that jump.
“...very rich people who are going to park it outside their townhouse for ostentatious show of how virtuous they are while they drive around in their Cadillac Escalade.”
There’s a reason we refer to Prius owners as Pious owners.
That's a real bazaar comment. Care to back it up with some facts?
I think he might have been confused on this point, but I'm not sure. We keep hearing that the price is $41,000. I thought that meant before the tax payers hand you a $7,500 check. Charles seems to be claim the $41,000 price is after the subsidy. I think He's wrong. Anybody know for sure?
Krauthammer has NOT been kind to Obama Obama Care or anything in this administration. At times he comments on a shrewd political move by O thats about it
I don’t heart him, after his diss of Sarah Palin.
“The only people who are going to buy it are going to be very rich people who..”
This is incorrect, as your tax dollars will go toward funding the feral, state, and local gov’t purchases for their fleets.
“Look, 5 million sold the first year! The obozo recovery is amazing!”/s
Trying to keep up with things from Down Here - my understanding was the car took 240 volts to charge it plus the charger was a special unit that somehow did something to the batteries as they charged so you needed to spend more on the car after ... so it doesn’t charge from 110 house current.
it’s a $41,000 car with no market. Even with the subsidies, it costs more to run at current prices than the non-hybrid version.
EXACTLY!!!!!

40 miles per charge... Nissan has 100 miles... this thing is already a failure... because obama ordered it and he is epic fail!

Only DOLTS will drive VOLTS.
He did screw up the math, from the buyer perspective, i.e. the buyer would pay $41000 MINUS $7500, or $33500.
But from the greater economy perspective, it costs $41000 to manufacture the car and provide dealer profits, and the taxpayers another $7500 to fund the tax credit, or $48500 total payout by all the players involved, save the buyer.
Krauthammer is brilliant, but he didn’t excel in math or science - just medicine and politics.
Which raises the question: what happens to the 40 mile range when the air conditioning is on?
gosh, if ZerO keeps taking over other industries, we could become as prosperous as the old soviet union was.
It’s my understanding that CAFE standards are based on fleet average MPG. Such that the mere offering of the supposed 320 mph Volt allows GM to sell more of the gas guzzlers!
