Appalling, peculiar, awful. It seems to be composed of as many seperate shapes as could possibly be crammed into one space with no attempt at making them mesh or flow.

Its offensive and you...

^^^ this. The advantages of the electric car, as a car, not as an environmental car, not as a save-the-world car, are legion.

I've not yet owned a Tesla Roadster, and I'm kind of on the bubble...

nice point. people do express surprise when I tell them I have no special charging equipment. They ask why/how/wtf? I say that I've not once not woken up to a charged Volt after plugging it in...

nice video, you do nice work, man

Bonaire: that is not a bad idea, I'll see if feasible tomorrow...

DonC, thanks.

Everybody: pulling out a stuck vehicle is typically a 1-2 minute process. You stop, back or drive up to the...

It could be, I don't konw, but it was clearly sturdy enough for this tow. One thing to consider is that it takes very little for a car like the Volt (minimal clearance, trac control that can't be...

I have never used onstar in any of my vehicles. Do they pay for a tow / extraction?

100% agree. I can't imagine why a car would have no readily accessible tow spots. I'm going to craft myself one for both front and rear just in case, one that is legitimately accessible in all...

Good info there, I am skeptical that towing from the rear would be practical in every situation... and I need to get a thin strap, I have a truck sized set of ropes that would not fit in that notch. ...

Today I was taking my truck in for service when I came across a Volt stuck in a bit of snow. When I went to hook up my tow rope to it, to pull it out, I was fairly surprised by what I found. I...

Well my Volt was recently blizzarded in. And I've been driving my Hummer. This is a roughly 88% drop in mileage, lol. However, the big truck comes with a couple of upsides. One is I have a deep...

good points!

I like the lack of rattles in my Volt, I like the build quality of my Volt (you folks wouldn't even believe the laundry list of problems with my 06 Prius), I like the fact that the...

I voted 40-44, but here are my experiences and observations:

-I've probably averaged very high 30's on the interstate, which is more or less the only time I've used the ICE except
-a couple of...

100% agreed.

This is great advice. I will absolutely test-fit reverse car seats before I buy her a Volt.

Honestly, though, to the original point, a Volt is a bargain. A screaming bargain. She really has her...

Chevy dealers in general are awful. I seem to consistently find that the people working at Chevy dealers do not know much, or care much, about the cars they are selling. It is a fact that a...

That is an amazing amount of EV miles for one year, congrats. :cool:

I agree with that. But aspects of the Fisker designs wouldn't fly at the General, like space inefficiency etc.

That is excellently cool, 5 stars

So I have twins on the way, that'll be annoying for the next 2 years and pretty awesome at 2+ years! I'm a huge fan of the toddler, the newborn is kind of just a poop machine, literally.

So I'm...
