This is the first time I have used this smiley but it sums up my reaction upon hearing this song......  :facepalm:

I only made it about half way through before I had to click it off.  It's been a VERY long time since something made me cringe as badly as this.


Cheers,

"It cost me more every day"??  And we all know that electricity prices never go up don't we. 

Just wait until someone is accidently electrocuted trying to tinker their own car.   They can use a clip from the opening of Goldfinger where Bond remarks "Shocking, just Shocking".

Your bail-out tax dollars at work!

Before this chick wrote songs for GM, she designed caliper weights, battery cables, and the Zeta "Light" chassis.  She's four for four!
So many stairs...so little time...

I'm surprised that hasn't happened to some one with a conventional hybrid already.  Back when I was selling Hondas and the first Insight came out, I remember lifting out the carpet inside the hatch and seeing a metal door in the floor with a big warning sticker saying something like "Do not open this door or you will DIE!!!" or something to that effect.  We had a good laugh over that one.

Real danger or just cover-your-arse legal hyperbole?  Who knows.  I'm still waiting for the "Hybrid Kills Owner" media scare to begin.

Bah, hobbyists play with that much voltage in electric car conversions all the time. My buddy builds modded Priuses...

You can already weld with your standard car battery (ever see someone touch the car chassis with a wrench when removing the positive battery cable?).
Like a fine Detroit wine, this vehicle has aged to budgetary perfection...

Then if you aren't an electrician, or know the most basic things about electricity, don't mess with your car.
