Are they sure it won't end up on Sarah Palin's show with her shooting
it from a helicopter?

Y'all might enjoy this.  It's a review of the Volt by Gene
Weingarten, a humor and sometimes feature writer for the Washington
Post.

That's a great story.

I loved the meeting with the former CIA director in the same parking
garage where Bob Woodward used to meet Deep Throat.

I wouldn't mind having this little monster. Strip all the decals off
of it and embarrass everyone else on the street, all while making
little noise, and never burning a drop of gas.

That is sweet!

He's got a lot of info on www.plasmaboyracing.com

I'm inspired to go build my own little electric monster - though far
too broke to do it.

I finally drove the Volt for real. Not just on a closed course, but
in the city and on the highway over the course of a day.

I am impressed.

My editor, who thought little of it prior to the event, did the same
trip and wrote about it: "http://www.wheels.ca/article/798372"

I'm writing mine up today ...

{Wheels.10.129}: Joseph Kang {jsk} Fri, 24 Jun 2011 10:43:20 CDT (1 line)

Oh yeah? Looking forward to your comments on it.

"Car of the year", eh? Seems promising. I think the fact that missing
a plug-in opportunity won't leave you stranded may make this the more
desirable "plug-in" hybrid for most interested buyers.

{Wheels.10.131}: Jil {rabbit} Fri, 24 Jun 2011 14:56:52 CDT (5 lines)

I agree.

When he says "car of the year," it's because all the writers are
asked to name the best and worst cars they drove all year for the
Christmas editions.

{Wheels.10.132}: Joseph Kang {jsk} Fri, 24 Jun 2011 15:17:30 CDT (1 line)

Ah. OK.

Speaking of alternative fuels(to trad. gasoline), the American Le Mans
Series announced that the 2013 Le Mans Prototype Challenge (LMPC)
class cars (it's a spec. racing class) will be running with engines
fueled by natural gas if everything goes as planned.
