Let me bow down to you then.....I meant no blasphemy.

How would anyone rely on a source where anyone can supply an opinion without verification?

Volt's are pretty nice cars for the $32k or so they charge after the government rebate.

Not bad, but IMHO the new turbo charged 4 cylinder BMW is more interesting.

BTW anyone see the smoking lease deals on 3 series? $299 a month!

That's cheaper than keeping a 20 year old Mercedes on the road!

Another factor to look at - eventual trade-in value.

Which do you think will be worth more, selling after 10 years of ownership -

A well-maintained Jetta/Passat CDI, or an equally well maintained Chevy Volt with a worn out battery pack?

I know.

People will drive less.

Ample evidence of that during that last episode when diesel was touching $5.00 around here.

NFW people can spend $5K on fuel every year (1 $hitbox getting 12mpg going 15K per year).

$5k is about what I'm spending on my truck, about $100-$115 a week.

It sucks.

I wish I could get away with a 30mpg car, but sadly hard to carry lumber or do dump runs with one.

Each entry subject to verification before and many times postings have been removed, imagine that.

Wiki is the liberal source of knowledge.

Maybe an example would help clarify my post

Reading comprehension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'll take credible sources over FNC's (or much of the media for that matter) questionable ones prior to criticism and discourse. I guess to someone who might believe that academic studies are liberal indoctrination (are you one of these??) an enormous online community citing scholarly articles would be liberal Gosh durn those kids and their computers!

Prove Wiki never been had. I'd rather go to the original source rather than rely on a second hand retread that some smack posted that could be dubious at best. Wiki is not a credible source. You can post bogus sourcing on that site too.Or weren't you aware of that?
You a Fox News Channel guy?

Ok perhaps you didn't get my poke with the reading comprehension. As I've said, there is a list of sources on the bottom of every page, most of them peer-reviewed and published. Not quite sure what you're missing.

CAn I buy you some more koolaid?

See: reference list. A list of things that you can click on and look up, often peer reviewed and published. Wiki articles are a secondary source but cite firsthand sources. These sources are what you look at. Then you can even look at their reference lists for even more fun!

Hey guy, it can be dubious at best. I been beat up on other sites quoting Wiki.I know all about sourcing.....just telling you what I've been down the road with.

Have a nice night.

Wikipedia:Accuracy dispute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here I would have thought that there is no liberal or conservative to knowledge or facts.....
