Asking Slashdot: Converting an SUV Into an Hybrid Diesel-Electric?
joaommp writes "So, my team has started a project to convert an SUV into an hybrid diesel-electric vehicle — basically, an electric vehicle with a diesel engine working as a range extender. We've now setup a campaign on Indiegogo to help with the project costs (we are a non-profit team) and later we'd like to, if the project is successful, be able to provide conversion kits and additional kits for elements of the transformation, like the HUD, for example. Why an SUV conversion? Because a lot of people like SUVs (sense of safety, overcompensation, etc) but they're un-economic and environment unfriendly. I'd like to ask all slashdotters if they have any advice or tips for this project. We already have the project well defined but more input is greatly appreciated before we begin tearing apart the beast. So, if you could help providing additional advice and information, it would be awesome."
So it's like your post?
Just duct tape a Prius to each wheel.
Of course, miss! I have the perfect pill for your situation. It helps your body run more efficiently, burning off all the energy you'll take in and more! Now, you may experience some side effects, such as hyperactivity, nervous twitching, loss of teeth, desire to steal copper tubing, and being murdered. I assure you, these are all normal parts of the weight-loss process.
Everything is better with chainsaws.
Pfft. All they needed to do was put taxes on Hay, Stabling and Ferrier Services and they'd whittle that down .. uh .. exactly in the way it doesn't do anyting to deter traffic today.

In other news, the International Criminal Court has a warrant out for your arrest. Something about war crimes against the nation of straw men.
They never signed the Geneva convention. They have terrorized our forums, used caps lock on innocents... we will give them no quarter. The bombings will continue until the point is made.

You sure beat the hell out of that straw man, tough guy.
He deserved it. I've seen him lurking in the neighborhood for weeks... dealing bad logic and negative emotions out of his van. I finally had enough when I saw a 15 year old internet troll from /B/ ave. getting high on memes. The moderators won't do anything about it... I've called a dozen times, and twice now they've given me a -1 citation. So I went all Batman on that shit.

I suppose... But was diverting them into politics really the best long-term solution?
