23. Sorry, you that you think that I'm a shill for GM.

However, since they are the biggest car manufacturer in the world it's kind of hard to ignore them. Still, if you click around on the site I linked to I'm sure you can find lots of other brands.

Presently, I'm saving my pennies to buy an electric Hyundai with under 50'000 miles. Or, I already have enough saved to convert my little Tucson into an electric. It has around 230,000 miles on it and a new speedy motor would be a kick in the butt.

I just need to find the time do the job, and if I do the conversion I'll get keep it's adorable little stick shift. Even though it won't matter if it's there, or not.

I'm waiting until I get to $20,000 before I make my decision.

You see I don't really care what I drive in the future as long as it is electric and gets the job done. Because the bottom line is that I pretty much hate everything about dinosaur juice. And by everything I mean the smell, the damage it does to our environment, the wars it spawns, and the fuckheads that sell it, etcetera.

In my opinion the world would have been a better place without John D. Rockefeller in it.
