    IM NOT BUYING A NEW CAR

    unless its a plug in electric. i can wait.

    if they throw in a solar or wind charger, i will be at the dealers lot tomorrow.

    they sell electric mopeds but they dont package them with solar/wind chargers, yet.

    you can buy electric light motorcycles from china. i just pulled up a USA electric motorcycle company that advertizes an equivelent to 585 mpg but theyre not on the market yet.

    i bought a subcompact 15 years ago. i already get better mpg than a "smart" car. and yes the street parking is awesome.

    there are lots of compact only parking spaces out there. but there is no law enforcement and idiots in SUVs dont know how to read.
