The ‘Obamamobile’ .... cut a hole in the floor so you can do the ‘Fred Flinstone’ when it runs out of juice & gas is $10/gal.
Flintstone .....
a few things.
First, it’s not a car that people want. Second, all the people that want you to drive one, don’t drive one. Third, they use our money to get us to overpay for a car we don’t want, even with the incentive it’s more expensive to drive than a similar gas vehicle. Fourth, the people that want us to drive it and make the government pay us to want to drive it, wouldn’t be caught dead in an American made car.
I believe it’s a good idea that is too expensive and tainted by the hand of the government. As someone who makes two short trips everyday and one or two long trips a week, I would love a coal powered vehicle for the short trips if it was the right price but that pricepoint has not been reached yet and won’t be reached until the car is less than 20k. I hope the American car industry makes it before the Chinese or Indians do because GM and Chrysler might as well just close their doors if that happens.
