MPG

[Dan Zorde]

Yeah, but imagine having to try and transplant an electric motor into your Z28 
because petrol is no longer available.  I like the shape of the older cars and 
dread the day we can no longer keep them running on the roads.  Anyway, imagine 
how bored we would all be, how do you fiddle with an electric car ?  Everything 
would already be fully optimized from the manufacturer.

As far as mass transit goes...that's the only thing that scares me!  I love
cars.  I fully expect future electrics to be just as bad-ass and fun as the
Z28 I plan to buy in the not-too-distant future.  What I fear is that one
day we will rely so much upon mass transit that car production/consumption
will plummet and cause car prices to rise to the point that private
automobiles will be the exclusive privilege of the rich, large companies,
and governments.  Just think one day everyone rode around on horses, now it
is the hobby of the rich.
