Are we really going to pretend we care about fuel economy after writing a check for a $50k vehicle?

Yes, fuel economy is the new performance bench mark.

I laugh when I read posts by people who have ideas many times the size of their bank balance. The finance companies love them. I have heard of too many that go for a test drive in the latest & greatest & dont have the funds to pay for a tail light globe. Dream on !!

Yeah it was a clever poke, cute too. Skirted the rules nice, since it looks like your a point shy of a vacation.

Have been for months, interestingly the individual that gave the 3 pointer has joined your club. For some reason that has occurred before.

..so the battery charge lasts longer.
Anybody see the 2009 McLaren-Mercedes KERS system for Formula 1? That hybrid has a small 12 lb. electric motor bolted to the front of the crankshaft, and a battery worth $100K (weighs 32 lbs) - renewed more than once per race. Gak!

Anyway I'm done, I'm not a mod anymore so I don't have to listen to this BS, welcome to my ignore list. You have issues with every moderator on this forum, I don't know why, but its something you should work on. Thanks for side tracking the thread, silly me thinking cars could be discussed on a car forum.
