Nanny car!

And will be featured in the gay pride parade...

BizarreRecords: I'm not looking at the car.

I'd hit it with my nightstick.

I would take one in a second, I could run my Property management business all day long for 2 bucks worth of electric in that thing instead of 12 bucks worth of gas in my truck.....you can get one with a flat bed for hauling, that would be perfect.

I vaguely made out something in the background, I assume it's this "car" that you speak of.

atomicmask: Thorak: Green vehicles are never going to catch on if they insist on making them underpowered ridiculous-looking pieces of crap.

It's endemic to the environmental movement. They want everyone to dial back so our use of resources doesn't damage the environment. Well, most couple could give a rat's ass, they want what they've got now, or better. Make green better than the alternative, and you won't have to try, and fail, to convince people to switch.

Most couples are stupid, also. most family units dont know where Iraq is on a map, let alone how the environment works. most couples cant think beyond soccer pratice for the little idiot offspring.

Actually, most families who have soccer practices for their rugrats are led by adults who have jobs in the city in an office where the daily news and events are discussed every day.

The uninformed people are the ones who get a check every month from the government and spend the next 29 days trying to figure out where else they can get money from for cigs and beer.

You can add college students to the ranks of the uninformed since they get most of their information from jon stewart and fellow students.

You can also add actors, artists, musicians, etc to the ranks of the uninformed as they receive most of their topical news from their own communities and sycophants.

The mistake you are making is that you are confusing ignorance with neccesity. People lead complex and difficult lives no matter what their income. A typical suburban family doesnt buy a huge SUV because they want to destroy the planet, they buy it because its on sale, is as big as a van, has better interior options than a van, and looks better than a van. Its not neccesarily their fault that it is bad for the environment. If you want a list of things that determine the cost vs efficiency of a US made vehicle, two of the primary expenses will be government mandated regulations and legacy costs related to union contracts.

If you want a cheap fuel efficient people pusher, you have to follow the Indian Route and make dangerous plastic cars that are built by minimum wage labor in third world factories.

EVERYTHING about liberalism is expensive and destructive to human life if you follow it from conception of the idea through to effect on the population.
