If I was going to try to pimp an electric car, I’d stay away from names like Volt, Spark, Fire, Lightning, etc. They don’t paint a pretty mental picture.
It looks like it was designed by someone who hates cars and wants to discourage people from driving.
Judging by your posts I swear you must be my long lost brother or something. I had that exact same video in mind but didn’t take the time to find it.
Bwahahahahaha...
I think folks that make $250K plus should not be allowed the deduction. There’s my compromise for the fiscal cliff.
It’s going to be that vehicle or a bicycle if the Redevelopment program continues. All part of the socialist strategy.
When that became known I didn’t have it long.
Yes, but you might have some other difficulty since a variable speed drive for the motor doesn't make a good fit with an engine needing a multi-gear transmission.
The Marxist in the WH would love to have everyone in those, they wouldn’t even be safe on a golf course.
GMs New Ad Slogan:
Now we have Two Electric Vehicles Nobody’s Buying.
They named it the “Spark” because that’s what it will emit when a semi drives over it.
This article makes some fallacious, shortsighted, and unchristian assumptions.
Assumption #1. The only costs are the cost to the owner, and the taxpayer (society) for the vehicle and tax rebate vs. gas saved. This is entirely erroneous, and shortsighted. It completely misses our scriptural mandate as stewards of God’s creation. As seen in links below air pollution is one of the leading causes of deaths.

Assumption #2. Money should be the sole driving(no pun intended) factor in our decision making. This is simply unchristian. The love of money is the root of all evil. The health and lives of those around us should weigh much higher.
Further even if you only consider money, when you factor in the $10 billion that air pollution costs in Canada alone, the money scale tips in a different direction.
Comes standard with numerous reflectors so it is clearly visible at night when it sits disabled on the side of the road.
enslaving and impoverishing all Americans for a fractional cleaner air or 0.00001% less global warming in 50 years is STUPID and unchristian.
Government forcing people to pay for this crap is as un christian as it can get
You’re entitled to your opinion.
Bump! :)
...maybe they should ‘mandate’ that registered DEMOCRATS purchase these...they’re the ones that support this crap...let THEM hit the interstate in these death traps.
