Damned technology. FOX doesn't like it.


Damned fiscal reality, the left hates it.

I love technology but I am not going to pay twice as much, just to say
I have it.


"Fiscal reality" has little to do with car buying.
It's all pure bling for most people.
Those buying Volts have no more problem coughing up the cash than buyers
of any +30k car.
You can google up +30k cars, and they are legion.
Not a one makes "fiscal reality" sense to me.
But for those that usually drive 30-40 miles a day, and have a garage
with a electrical outlet, well.
Not going to gas station, not caring about gas prices, giving your usual
gas station the finger as you pass it by, is...priceless bling.
That's all aside from the cutting edge technology and other good marks
the Volt gets.
If I were a car bling person, that's my kind of bling.
But since I'm a *extreme* fiscal realist, I consider buying *any* new
car to be fiscally irresponsible bling.
