Driving a volt would now stigmatize the driver.
Many drive vehicles that make a statement about themselves (by nature and often by intent).
What the hell does a Volt say about it’s owner....LIBERAL! Pure and simple.
My best friend , very conservative guy, bought a Volt for the tax credits he got from federal and California taxes. I make fun of the car every chance I get. BTW his other vehicle is a SmartCar.
Your best friend has same gender sexual preferences romantically. :o)
