Hey Kids!

If you live in LA, NYC, or the greater DC area, you too can tow around a piece of the future!

“Or maybe he should have hitched on a trailer with a supply of fuel so he can refuel his car along the way?”

Because the only thing missing from the Massa Show was a reenactment of the Hindenburg

ROTFLOL! Nothing says “buy this car” or “this car is the wave of the future” by seeing it on the back of a tow truck.

People who go with these vehicles will have to use the technology of the Pony Express days. Drive from origin to a GM dealership enroute, where you switch to a fresh vehicle and continue to the next GM dealership and switch to a fresh vehicle, etc., until you reach your destination.

Or maybe he should have hitched on a trailer with a supply of fuel so he can refuel his car along the way? Or maybe use military technology for a supply truck to pull up along hide his car on the highway and do a mid-trip refueling?

Don’t these bufoons realize how much energy it takes to make hydrogen? Hint: the eco-faeries don’t make it magically appear in the middle of the night. You need a lot of electricity to unbond hydrogen from oxygen, and at that I’m sure the next rotating complaint by these lit-majors-turned-”engineers” is that we’re depriving their “sea kittens” of their H2O.

I just talked with a friend over at GM. Apparently they’re not too happy with Mr. Massa’s theatrics.

Especially considering Massa did this in the middle of our International Auto Show week, when all news stories are manditorily chock-full of sunshine and daisies.

So if anyone you know has ever thought about a seat in the House, a certain car company might be willing to back your run for NY-26 in 2010… any takers?

Les Paul, you win for mentioning Dvorak.

I . . . I just can’t think of anything. “Green” is officially a codeword for “retarded.” No, wait, I take it back–even a retarded person would be able to spot the problem in that logic. I don’t want to insult them. What’s a stronger word for “mentally incapable”?
