    Yea, because idiots think that a car has to be able to lap the world in a day to sell. How many miles do you drive a day? 200 miles is enough for 90% of Americans, the rest, don't buy one. On a side note, the Volt is a joke.

    And your flawless reason to insult someone with an opinion left you posting AC? Clearly you have a perfect reason to think your better than me. Not like I'm an Electrical/Mechanical Engineer, who is also ASE Certified. Maybe Google will tell you what that means, if you can figure out what button to push. Git. Ethanol belongs in vehicles designed to run on it, not forced into tanks of cars that WILL be damaged by it, owned by people who cant afford to fix them every month. It was purely political. It was pure stupid. Burning food is always a bad idea.

    Well, that too. But i was trying to be slightly civil. Not sure why....

    PA law requires ALL gas to have ethanol in it. 10% as of right now. I'm mad about my Charger. I usually don't even both talking about my Supra that had nothing wrong with it, for 100k miles, then about a month after starting the ethanol mix gas, car was burning oil and needed a complete ring job. The manual said NO ETHANOL.

    I've had a few mechanics define the problem for me that way. I assumed it was correct, because the bowl is dry when i go to start it. Unless its leaking through the jets/evaporating. But the line from the pump to the carb is always dry when i go to start the car.

    Ethanol damages rubber. The same rubber used the in seals of the mechanical pump. Old rubber got a lot older very fast after soaking in the stuff for a few weeks.

    This one IS nonsensical though. The entire reason in the first place was to replace gas. Instead, they mixed it with our gas, ruining our engines, lowering our MPG AND they didn't even lower the price! I cant tell you how angry i get when i pull up to the pump in my 74 Charger that says GAS ONLY, NO ALCOHOL on the cap, and the STATE says i have to ruin my car for their gain. Fuel pump started leaking a few weeks after this crap hit the tank, and ever since, it is a bear to start, cause the fuel bowl dries out, cause the pump leaks!

  16. Re:You need specialists and generalists on The Modern Day Renaissance Man · · Score: 1

    I work the same way as you, but my field is electrical engineering. I also work on cars, so the natural next step was a homebrew electric car. My computer skills led to an in dash computer to control media and monitor the batteries, motor and controller. My chemist side wants to build my own batteries, but my smart side knows I'll probably die or be grievously harmed doing so. Projector lenses and LED emitters should make decent headlights.... Yea I'm crazy, but at least I'm not afraid to use it!

  17. Re:Safety Revenue ? on Los Angeles To Turn Off Traffic-Light Cameras · · Score: 1

    I think they should turn them off, but leave them there. Don't tell people they are "fake." People push the door close button in elevators, even tho 90% of them don't work(most work in independent service mode, which elevators aren't in normally) and about 40% aren't even wired.
