Yes my friend, what's wrong with the US (and Canada soon), well, you elected
a oil oriented president, a scary one if i may add... i also watch the movie
about the EV-1, how GM killed (or Bush gov.) is own genious project.

If you need a small compact car, come here in Montreal, that is all we have
in our street. TDI, Civic Hybrid, Mercedes Smart, Prius, Yaris... and so on.

When i travel in North America, city like Houston as an example, i'm amaze
of how big are the vehicle????

Think Big, Big is beautiful, big is better...

I can not believe what you just wrote about that 6000$ tax rebate, this is
simply madness.

I had an argument with a Type2 list member last year, of course... in a case
of an accident, he was telling me that his BIG Suv would detroy my Civic,
and he and his family would be safe and me dead... but a Hummer would
destroy his SUV, so he was thinking of buying a bigger one (that the short
version of that story), i was ask to stop that thread of leave the list, i
left the list.

All empire go down one day.
