Honda's Insight and in fact all of their IMA hybrids are no more hybrid than GM's BAS. The electric motor just attaches in a different location.

Scientology Rant Long but great

<--- HUGE fan! There are a lot of the best clips available on YouTube. Spader's rants on Scientology are awesome.

If the artist's rendering is true, Enclave already pwns it.

Does synthetic help with the time factor at all?

wtf is liquid traction control?

How can you tell when Fly is in town? My first confirmation he had landed...... The Mauraders grew landau roofs.

glad to see everyone made it back safe

staying at my friend's place this weekend, I wake up and have this coming right for my face.

Oh no.... I got into it when I was talking resale values compared to purchase prices with Carbiz and Enzl.

Wake me up when the 159 or 166 arrive.

Does that mean OCN invented pants?

If that's what it takes to make the Mazda look good.... then I guess it'll do

Opel GT... no wait... Opel Ome.... em.. no Opel Anta.....hmmmm Opel Vect.... Astra?

How are the Porsche and Lincoln even vaguely in the same class?

....or maybe it was out of gas and wouldn't start.....

That's probably right

it's not just a 4-speed auto..... it's 4 fixed gears plus 2 electric CVTs. This transmission really needs a new name so people can get off this 4-speed rant.

So aim for 2pm? Made it to NJ..... Longest Trans-Pennsylvanian trip E.V.A.R. Edit: and the buddy I'm staying with might tag along.

I think the manufacturer's thing got me because I would consider Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth to be one..... that's why I made up my answer.

The EV-1 generation 2 had a range of about 100 miles per charge on NiMH Batteries. If it had Lithium Ion batteries, it might have been able to do 250 like the Tesla. Edit: I don't know if the EV-1s had regenerative braking or not. This guy test drove and EV-1 gen 2 for 5 days and on the 4th and 5th day he admittedly abused it and still got 83 miles to a charge..... this was in 1999.

Uh. Didn't GM already produce a car with a 40+ mile range in the EV1?

If it's a nice running DI Turbo 4 cylinder.... why not? By that time $3.50 a gallon will seem like a deal.

You kidding? He's the tunnel.

I caught this one grazing near my house a while back....
