    Hey, see that. I can learn a little about polotics from you, and I can teach you what a good looking truck looks like. :grin:

    If the Chevy Volt (slated for 2010) even remotely looks like it's current concept design, i'm sold.

    It'll be available only in white to start but later you can get it in black for %50 more.

    It'll scratch so easily an entire industry springs up that offers 3rd party clear coat protective finishes

    You can only drive it on Apple approved roads, unless you hack the transmission

    Next years model will have twice the horsepower and cost %300 less

    After a few years they will stop supporting it and you won't be able to drive on any of the new roads.

    I could go on....

    On the subject of hybrids....I'm good friends with the Chevy dealer here in town, and he tells me one bad aspect that's not being publicized. EMT's are having to learn how to work with those heavily insulated electricians gloves. It seems in a serious accident, the battery can charge the entire car body, putting the EMTs, and of course, the passenger/crash victims, at an electrocution risk. Obviously this is a problem the plants are working hard to eliminate, but it certainly was a factor I never considered when I started shopping and thought about hybrids.

    I had heard about this when Hybrids when they first came out, but hadn't heard anything in a while. I figured they had worked something out with that.

    Then again, like with fluorescent light bulbs, you don't hear about the dangers, only about their good points.
