Q. What does the Chevy Volt and a vibrator have in common?
A. Both are not much fun to use when the batteries die.

Hi Kitty
too good not to share
Saw it but is it Joolia doing the kissing?
The milk in my cup of tea has just formed a lump and sunk to the bottom with a thud.
It’s almost as foul a thought as the one with a statist broadcaster, with shell suite, lots of gold chains, a cigar and peroxide hair…
Glad to be of service I believe I’ve just made two chicks getting it on a thought crime.
What do they have in common? I shall never own either one!
well said (written)
🙂
Why thank you
Well Alabama bans the sale of them.
Sweet Home Alabama. [Does it really???]
Yes it does. You can buy all the guns and ammo you wish but heaven forbid a sex toy.
Unlike the chevy volt the rampant rabbit cannot be recharged by filling it with petrol.
petrol and a lit match sounds like an effective (and fraudulent) solution to buyer remorse.
What is this rampant rabbit of which you speak?

“What is this rampant rabbit of which you speak?”
You must lead a sheltered life……

I find the conspiracy theories about fantastic inventions in fuel consumption suppressed by exxon assassins amusing, but back in the real world engineering advances are incremental and progressive. A new car technology will not arrive vastly better than the present form, just slightly better. I gather it takes around four years of typical use to break into profit with the chevy volt over a conventional car.
That price/cost advantage will increase as this technology matures. At the moment you pay more for a hybrid and a LOT more for a car with features like sports styling and performance, but as hybrid vehicle technology improves the cost advantage of such vehicles will become far bigger and it will take wealth and a preference for vintage tech to still be driving a pure petrol car.
izen the volt will continue to suck badly because it lacks range and this gets worse over the life of the battery pack and frankly battery technology is not up to the task right now. Which also completely ignores the fact that the electricity is produced elsewhere mainly by CO2 emitting sources like gas,oil or coal. It’s false environmentalism.
Izen, you never cease to surprise.
So that’s what’s up, er… doc…
Alley????
As Fen blogged a while back, a Bactrian camel has the same top speed, vastly more range on a single charging and can be charged on anything which grows in your back garden, including whatever is hanging on the washing line.
On street charging?, just park it by a bin outside a macdonalds – they’ll eat dogburgers and chicken too (don’t park it near a tappas bar -it’ll spend its time shooting down seagulls with olive stones).
I’m not sure how difficult an electric car is to catch and halter in the morning, what length of wooden stylus is needed for data input, or whether it needs a ratchet strap to get its girth strap tightened up…
oh yes, a camel is well over 7′ tall when fully erect, and while not the prettiest, it does have some unique motions and rhythms…
Why is a camel called “the ship of the desert”?
sure, because its full of ‘rab’s $€men (can’t remember which is which between camels and horses – supposedly (if you were so inclined) you can catch gonorrhoea from one but not the other).
Back in the days when Czechia was still attached to Slovakia, and both were soviet satellites. the old rear engined Skodas (which were pretty good if you didn’t mind technology that was 40 years out of date and a 1.6 engine which did fewer miles to the gallon than a pal’s W12 engined Bentley does – much fewer miles!) were the but of many jokes.
among them
Q; what is the difference between having a Skoda and having the syphilis?
A; you wouldn’t admit either to your friends, but you can get rid of the syphilis.
a reference to the apalling re-sale value of the central planner’s product, and the fact that only a subsidized Skoda dealer would offer you sufficeint part exchange to get a new car – a new Skoda that is.
Depressing, isn’t it? It’s the little things in life that drive people mad (along with the big ones).
What a politically correct joke is the electric car. The makers were always on a collision course with reality, in the form of market demand. And like wind power, demand for its over-priced product could only ever be sustained by vast state subsidies.
Well my little joke could have been more politically incorrect but they are a joke because the batteries are not good enough yet and the left thinks electricity is made from unicorn farts. When emotional thinkers are given the run of the asylum chaos ensues.
One day, there will be a car that runs on sunshine, goes from zero to one hundred clicks in three seconds and never breaks down.
The bloke who invents that car will be assassinated and never heard from again.
I’m willing to bet it’s already happened.
Funny you should say that but some people have met tragic accidents when they have developed ideas that make cars many times more fuel efficient.
True.
Right, Oz. You could even make that exact point, in that exact way, on the James blog if you so wanted. : )
