Ford to increase production of hybrid vehicles-

I'm glad hybrids are finally becoming a bit more affordable and every-day I love my hybrid, I've had it for a year now, it's such a great car.

 

I'm up on the tightrope , one sides hate and one is hope
It's a circus game with you and me.
I'm up on the tightwire , linked by life and the funeral pyre
But the tophat on my head is all you see.

And the wire seems to be the only place for me
A comedy of errors and I'm falling
Like a rubber neck giraffe, you look into my past
Well, baby you're just to blind to see.

I'm up in the spotlight, oh does it feel right
The altitude seems to really get to me.
I'm up on the tightwire linked by life and the funeral pyre
Putting on a show for you to see.

 

Maybe if Nissan buys Ford "Theres a Ford in your Future" <--Ford slang from 1941 thru 1945 when Ford stop building cars for the War efforts.

 

They need to work out more of the bugs in the technology. Especially Toyota. God forbid the computer goes out, the car becomes useless. BTW, Toyota is the only one that has the regenerative brake technology. I applaud any car maker that produces a hybrid, or has made an attempt to do so. Dodge made a prototype Intrepid a few years ago that they designed for 80 mpg. It only got up to 55 mpg and would have cost $80,000 per unit to manufacture on a regular basis because of unconventional materials.

 

The Japansese have been kicking everybody ass since the 1970s . and all car had/have computers . and Only the Chinese are a serius threat to japan becouse of her limitless resources of cheap labor and the fact that China does have natural resources were Japan have very limited , Sample = All steel must be imported to japan etc etc.

 

I wish I could afford a hybrid. That's the one problem with these cars, they are too expensive. Around here, the people that CAN afford hybrids buy Cadillac Escalades and Durangos instead....it irks the hell out of me.

*grumbles*

 

How much do they charge to cut holes in the bottom of cars, in Australia ?.

 

Apples and Oranges does not live in Australia, but Wisconsin. The standard hourly rate for work on cars in Australia is $60.

 

Why was i thinking she lived in Australia... doh..

I should have paid a bit more attention..

It was a bad joke anyway:

Hole in the car to help along like a fred flinstone car...

I'll get me coat..

 

Cheap fuel has been America's greatest blessing and its greatest curse. On the one hand cheap fuel has allowed us to expand from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. On the other it has caused urban sprawl and environmental degradation.

All the car companies will have to go diesel and hybrid now. Small(1.9-2.8L) diesel motors are almost as energy-efficient as hybrid tech and cost a lot less to produce a car with it. Volkwagen and Mercedes are building diesel cars with great fuel mileage and lots of power for the highways.
