When my little pickup finally dies I'll step up for one, that is if I can fit in it. Though currently that $399 a month buys a lot of gas on an old paid off small truck.

Here, I'll bite and waste my time with a serious answer. Enjoy:

Since I can only have 1 car, electric doesn't work for me; there are too many times I need gas-engine range. When I was married and we had two cars, one electric would have worked just fine.

When the kid starts driving in a few years, it wouldn't suprise me if he gets an electric. He understands we need to change what we're doing. As usual, the younger generation is a lot smarter than the previous.

WTF Buzz, is somebody forcing you to buy an electric car? Last time I looked, there were still plenty of Chevy Suburbans and Ford Excretions at the dealerships.

You've got tears in your eyes every day over "the planet" and I think Human GW is total crap.

We live our lives EXACTLY the same way.

You don't see the irony in that?

We absolutely DO NOT live our lives exactly the same way. I think protecting the environment is important, and even if the only positive thing I can do about it is say so and vote so, that's infinitely better than bad-mouthing every effort towards improving the situation or trying to wish it away.
