I’m holding out for season 2 of the new show about the Obama administration that’s on AMC tomorrow: The Walking Dead.
Why don’t they just call it the ‘Fizzle’?
Ah. Now I get it.
Everything else will be illegal, and there will be all of these things sitting around unsold.
@ Bumr50:
Unless they change the way the CAFE averages are calculated, it doesn’t matter if anyone buys any of them or not. They’ll still count toward the manufacturer’s “fleet” average.
They just add up the mileage ratings of one of each vehicle a company makes and divide by the total number of models. There’s no weighting for sales volume or anything, so it’s all BS anyway.
@ Bumr50:
Chevy’s gonna need to update Seger’s song for the new millennium:
Like a toaster…..
@ Bumr50:
The mileage ratings they use for electric vehicles are BS, as well. They give plug-in electrics a rating of 99 mpg, based on the idea that they don’t use fuel.
Unless the electricity used to charge them came from a windmill or something, that’s nonsense.
Speaking of which, I saw a Tesla roadster the other day. Doesn’t look all that for roughly $ 120 K. I can buy 4 Mini Countryman S All4s for that price. With extra goodies (I’ve priced one out.)

Regardless of how many MPG it gets, it’s still primarily a coal burning, carbonista death machine.

It must really stink bad in Zucotti Park if Rage Against the Machine hasn’t showed up to put on a free concert yet.

Net $ 70 K, then. 2 Mini Countryman S All4s and $ 10 K in my pocket. I only need 1 Mini…
‘Course, in CO they have winter. Batteries and winter don’t get along, so one might need that extra money for tows and taxis.
