Chevrolet Volt In a Gasoline-Only Scenario

s122604 sends in a performance review of the Chevy Volt, paying particular attention to what happens after the initial plug-in capacity has been depleted. This reader adds, "The review indicates that the performance is adequate, and perhaps better than anticipated. If the Volt can deliver technically, especially with the possibility that it could retail for less than expected (WSJ subscription may be required), does GM have a potential hit on its hands?" "How well will General Motors' Chevrolet Volt drive once it gets past its 40 mile all-electric driving range and starts to rely on power generated by its gasoline engine? That's been a question for both critics and fans of the Volt, and with just 11 months to go before this car hits the market, I got the answer."

    Ok. 60% are for hunting and the majority of the remainder are WWII relics.

    Don't let the facts get in the way of your *imaginary* rights that justify owning enough firepower to liberate a small country.

    Because it is in the context of a 'well regulated militia'. Housing a large number of unregistered automatic weapons is in no way 'well-regulated', nor can a bunch of yahoos with guns hung on the back window of a pickup truck be considered a militia.

    'Bear arms' refers to the right to serve in the military. Yes they wanted to keep the right for citizens to have their own personal firearm, but no one in their right mind thinks the intent was for average citizens to have the ridiculous amount of firepower they have now.

    Interesting that you choose not to respond to my point about the National Firearms Act or the militia. I'll take your silence as a tacit admission that you were wrong on both counts, have no idea what you are talking about and are only repeating the talking points of the Brady campaign.

    No, it's just like talking to young earth fundamentalist crackpots - I don't feel like wasting my time convincing you of something you will not change your mind of anyway, regardless of what I say.

    Typical Slashdot whining doublethink - first they whine and complain about how the government isn't putting money into getting 'greener' cars on the road, and then when the government does do so, they whine about *that*.

    Mod parent up.

    Trust me - arguing with a gun nut is hardly a strenuous intellectual activity.

    And I didn't say you *were* a fundamentalist crackpot, I said arguing with a gun nut is *like* arguing with a fundamentalist crackpot. Unless of course you also happen to *be* a fundamentalist crackpot.
