Not out of some weird sense of nationalistic pride or anything but I truly believe its going to take the American consumer demanding alternatives to gasoline before there will be a legitimate effort on the part of industry to replace it.

I have a real hard time believing that electric vehicles are harder than putting a man on the moon, or splitting atoms, or decoding DNA.

I dont think there's any legitimate effort happening as long as everyone's entertained and the networks are still showing life-sucking tv shows. Apparently, no one cares

I sold my truck and got a more fuel efficient car (30-32 mpg). I really miss my truck sometimes, but as you said, I knew better than to consider getting a truck again. So, yeah, 4cyls rock baby.

I put $75 in my truck every 4 days, such a waste of energy

SUV sales up 41% in the months of Nov and Dec....The Volt sold 250 country wide...:lol:

If they didnt look so stupid and dangerous they might have something, I look at a smart car on the highway and i feel like i could run over it if I'm not careful

If the Prius wasn't so damn ugly, maybe more people would buy it.

BTW, we have had the capability for decades to produce fuel from trash and other organic materials. But (conspiracy theory coming) the government won't make billions of dollars off of that. They want us to be dependent on oil.

People bash GM alot (I do, I drive a GM) but they are on the right path with the Volt. To make it an even better idea put in a diesel engine and use biofuel.

Conspiracy theory retort incoming

Gubmint my ass. If BP thought they could sell bio-diesel to John Q Public then they would find a way to put in in the local station. The problem is that people who run bio-diesel are put in the same category with the ultra-milers and labeled wackos.

The government didn't drive anyone down to the local Ford dealership to buy a new F350 to drive to their office daily.

This is all OUR fault.

Hey, a lot of those gubminters are also oil investors. Still not convinced?

Oh is that a conspiracy theory? I thought that was common knowledge

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
