irony of the day

[timepiece]

Today during my commute, I ended up behind a car with a bumper sticker that said: Save the Environment, Drive a Hybrid.

It was on a Lexus SUV.

Methinks someone is unclear on the concept.

My old sedan was clearly not a Honda Civic. It was a crappy Nissan Sentra. And I totally agree about the MPGs on ALL cars. I mean Honda and Toyota put our teeny weenie cars (the go and the fit) and they crow about getting 40MPG! That's ridiculous! In my early 20's I had a Chevy Sprint that got 60/50MPG.

We totally have the technology to do better. Did either of you see Who Killed the Electric Car?

You're kidding me. For real? That's amazing.

Now I want to go find a Chevy Sprint.

I have not seen Who Killed the Electric Car, though I very much want to. I need to check if Netflix has it...

For Reals! (it was a three cylinder car) I got from Spokane, Wa to Portland, OR on one little tank of gas. I'm sure you couldn't find one now though. They became the GMC Sprint, which became the Chevy Aveo. When it became the Aveo they took the MPG down to 30, with the story that people were omplaining about the power of the car.(Even though I passed semi's, so whatever?)

That being said, I reaqd the specs and the power certainly didn't go up in ratio to the MPG going down.

It's a consipiracy, I tell ya! (hi, I like to pretend I'm a fanatic)

If I learned anything from The Outsiders, it's that nothing gold can stay.
