someone told me that these lead-acid batteries are going to be an environmental problem in a few years. and the cost to replace them I think figures about the same as all the saving on gas. the better answer may be to get a small conventional car w/good milage – a mini-cooper might be fun; or how about a scion?

post random questions daily and see if anyone plays with me and answers them :) (read all 3 entries…)
I mean literally, as in a deja vu experience?
a little question to pose people:
“do we execute the “20th hijacker” for something he didn’t do? his failure to act on the knowledge he had to prevent the 9/11 attacks may cost him his life because society demands this response to the horrors now being relived. so who will do the killing? what if society picked you to perform the execution? no problem? how about with your bare hands around his neck. you personally will be held accountable for squeezing the life out of this man as he stares into your eyes. can you do it?...”
