Thanks, but still not enough for a test drive……………

HAHAHAHA!! Maybe next time!

I just would like to see a Volt up close. They have yet to bring one to either the Cleveland or Pittsburgh Auto Shows.

The voting window sure was short, didnt even get a chance to vote for myself. But that was some tough competition, and everyone here is a winner in my book.

Here was my entry:

Why I want a Chevy Volt By Jim Isabella (Jim I at gm-volt.com)

I could give all the standard reasons about how it will help lessen the impact on our environment, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and just be a cool car to drive. But when I really started to think about it, I began to wonder how much different the world would be with the Chevy Volt available to people everywhere.

Why just imagine how much different some of our most famous speeches would have been, had there been a Chevy Volt to talk about:

What if Abraham Lincoln was here to see the Volt?

Four score and seventeen years ago, Thomas Edison built an electric car. He couldn’t get it to
work, but the Chevy Volt Team did!!! Woo-Hoo!!!!!!

Or Franklin D. Roosevelt:

The only thing we have to fear, is not building enough Volts!!!

Or John F. Kennedy:

We choose to build and drive the Volt and do the other things, not because it is easy, but because it is hard……….

Or Ronald Reagan:

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall, so you can test drive and then buy a Chevy Volt!!

And last but not least, this humble message from Jim Isabella:

Thank you Chevrolet, and the Chevy Volt Team, for building the car I have been dreaming about for the last thirty years. You have brought GM back to the standard of excellence it was founded upon, and revived the belief that if put to the test, there is no problem we can’t solve!!!!!!!

I can’t wait to be the proud owner of one of these vehicles.

This was tough….they were all VERY, VERY GOOD.

If I had any musical talent, I would like to have submitted an updated version of the old 1960′s Chevy jingle, “See the USA, in your Chevrolet”….with new words for a new age. It would go something like this:

See the USA, in your Chevrolet
The Chevy Volt is now the way to go…..
It’s a happy day, we can drive away
Knowing we’re not funding all our foes…

Save the Earth today, in your Chevrolet…
The Electric Volt is better all around….
Forty miles to play, with no gas, Hooray!!!!
I’m so happy as I drive and cover ground………….

I SO used to love that jingle when I was a kid. It would be so cool to see and hear an updated version that reflects the new cutting edge technology being used in the Volt….and in some of the other Chevy’s of late too.

The closer we get to VOLT DAY….the more excited I am getting….

GO GM! GO VOLT!
