Are enviro-nuts EVER satisfied??

Interesting take, Rich.... I'm a hypocrite because of what???? Saying that we all need to do what we can? Because I avail myself of the latest technology? Because I recycle? What part makes me a hypocrite??

I think you should spend more money on drugs.... those cheap ones are f*cking you up too much...

Sadly, the only intelligent posts you EVER make, are the plagiarized copy and paste articles that you toss out now and then.

Otherwise, you have nothing of real value to offer, not even anything worthy of entertainment value.

You are an idiot without an original thought in your empty head. Your idea of "Fuck it up and let the future generations fix it" is completely absurd. Go back to copy and paste Rich, it gives you some semblance of intelligence by demonstrating your ability to right and left click on your mouse buttons..

Is this the same asswipe that just called me a liberal? Which side of your mouth are you whistling out of now dimwit? Sheesh, choose a side and stick with it will you? KJK

ROFLMAO!!!!! Dang , and I swallowed my gum!!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!

He does the exact same thing in the digital photography groups I frequent. He links to and plagiarizes boring, outdated web articles/sites. Complains about DSLR camera brands and HE DOESN'T EVEN OWN A FRIGGIN' DSLR CAMERA! They smack him around regularly in those groups. Personally I think he's a troll or starved for attention, even if it is negative.

All we need are batteries that can run a car for 300 miles, can be recharged in less than 5 minutes and can last 1,000 charge cycles. Put an efficient, 50-100hp electric motor in each wheel hub and just think of the savings that could result. No more antifreeze, oil, gasoline, transmission fluid, grease, power steering fluid etc. Then think of the addition interior space and packaging possibilities from having no drive train. Also, the performance possibilities would be fantastic with computers controlling each drive wheel with a finesse not remotely possible on today's cars/trucks. The car I described could be built today if we, the consumers, demanded it. BTW, do you own a car? ;)

So Michael, if that Shelby you're considering had those 4 electric motors you're talking about instead of what it will really come with, would you still be considering it? ;)

Until recently he's been relatively harmless, but here lately it's as if someone gave him too high a jolt of electricity at the funny farm or like Spike said cheap drugs.

Sure. Electric motors can be torque monsters. I don't care what it runs on just as long as it can do a burnout and go like a bat out of hell. I would miss the exhaust note but it would be one hell of a sleeper. :)

Or, while out picking through the dump recently, he came across a stack of old Greenpeace magazines....

Problem... no drive train... ok.... no fluids.... ok.... but those batteries have to go someplace.... and when they go bad... I think we have some sort of pollution problem building....

On a happier note.... if they built it.... you could always get a CD of BB engines, slip some speakers into the wheel wells, and crank it up.... add some speakers on the dash pointed right at your face and the sound waves should mash you into your seat, blow back your hair, flatten out your face and press your eyeballs back in their sockets, thus giving the illusion of going like a bat out of hell.... : 0 )

A running partner of mine did the stereo thing with his VW bug (along with some phony pipes)... it really freaked some people out when the light changed. He had 'em cold for about the first 30 feet or so...

I'd say I have to agree if he thinks you are a Liberal.

True but it would be a relatively infrequent event and comparing the volume of fluids over a 300,000 mile life of a car disposing of a set of batteries would be minor. Also just think of all the manufacturing of metal that would be unnecessary like engine blocks, heads, gears, transmissions, etc.

Who knows, maybe the whining of four strong electric motors might have it own unique sound that would grow on me. :)

Well, for some, bad attention is better than no attention at all.

Thank you sir... I am so pleased that you noticed.

Yea, a guy can only pedal so fast for so long, then his legs give out.

Is this one of the guys that lives up north of me?

If you ever wondered, do a Google-groups search for free speech store and/or sift through news.admin.net-abuse.email and look at the multiple posts under multiple names about the SPEWS list. One k00k, a million OT messages and the wrong meds. Mix in a whole lotta time and you have hurc ast to a 5th power.

And all those unemployed auto workers.... but is that something not entered into the equation... by the time such an auto is produced, what would the world population be, how many would have such vehicles, and thus how many more discarded batteries and fluids would there be?

Hmmmmm.... whining.... a Jewish car.... probably not good on dates... LOL

Nope... he was one lonnnnngggggg before that bunch....
