Heck, I could have told them that long ago.Maybe I did, It doesn't make
any sense to buy a Chevy Volt.

I said it enough that I ****ed off every tree hugger, starry eyed science
fiction addict, and Obama kiss-up.

I hope everybody that voted for him is forced to buy one.

Since when has car sales ever had anything to do with making sense?

I'd kind of like one, though not enough to pay for it. Likewise I'd
like to have a Trabant too, and a Stutz Bearcat. None of them really
make sense, but what does that have to do with anything?

Personally I'd like a car with a curb weight under 1800 lbs with a
sub-1.2 liter engine. A 3 cylinder would be OK. This would make perfect
sense to me but then again, I ain't normal.

What you want is your business, so long as the taxpayers dont have
to subsidize your ownership of them ;>)

Honestly, I would like to own a Caterham or Lotus 7, which might
be something like you describe...But, I dont want it badly enough to
dip into my bank account for it.

No, you want a Trabi. There's no radiator, no water pump, no fuel
pump, no valve train, no timing belt, no lifters and cams, nothing to
go wrong.

My 1914 Ford Model T Car, L-Head 4 cylinders 177 cubic inches
engine.Weight, about 1200 pounds, maybe that weight pertains to front
and rear seat cars, mine is a one seat Turtle deck (trunk) Runabout
Roadster, I think the car weighs less that 1200 pounds, probally closer
to about 1100 pounds, I think so. I can stand at each wheel and lift
that part of my car off the ground with my bare hands.

My 1948 Willys Jeep. L-Head 4 cylinders 'Go Devil' engine, 134.2 cubic
inches.Weight, 2136 pounds. I won't try to lift my Jeep off the ground,
I am not Superman.

Do my two old vehicles count? They sure do count to me.
