Saturn Sky or Pontiac Soltice? Or Electric?

The Pontiac Soltice is HOT! The Saturn Sky could be more reliable? But a Prius makes the most sense. Besides if batteries keep getting better and they will couldn't you just swap them out and maybe get up to 125 mpg?

Anyway, that is what "Who Killed the Electric Car" documentary stated. This documentary slams the gas, auto, and oil companies, and the government for discouraging the promotion of the electric car with zero emissions.

I hope the documentary comes to your town..if not try googling and hopefully the DVD is available. I am hoping that the auto, government and oil industry did not buy them all up or sue the film makers - who knows? It was only shown in my city for one week and at only one threatre!

It's face it, gas will only get more expensive as time goes on. Aren't you glad you didn't buy one of the big ass gas guzzlers? You know, if you have one, the longer you hang onto it the harder it will be to get rid of and the less you'll get for it. Get rid of it, while others haven't caught on yet that when gas gets to $4.00 per gallon, it will cost them close to $90.00 to fill the tank and these big boys are only getting close to ten miles per gallon, if you are lucky! That is a lot of money for gas!

Yes, I believe it's the end of the super sized vehicles. Well, let's face it any bigger and they wouldn't fit in any parking spaces or between the lines on the roads. And I think they have them about as high in the air as physically appealing as it's going to get! Whew, I bet those super sized wheels and tires cost an extreme amount. But, it must be great driving something that takes you high in the sky and you can see over all the other vehicles.

Personally, I can't see through medal or super dark tinted glass can you? I drive a Rav 4 and it was big in 1998. I loved it when I could spot my cross-the-top five inch high roof racks..that lasted about two years.. then all the super sized SUV's came along. Now I'm walking all over the parking lot amongst the maze of huge square boxes on giantic wheels looking for my car.

Personally, I'm beginning to walk more to the grocery store and I have joined a healthy club within walking distance. The other day I ran there, worked out on the weight machines and then walked home. It was the day the temperature went from 90 to 100 within one hour. Is that weird? The weatherman on TV sounds a little surprised too! Global warming? How can I walk to the grocery store, what do I pull a little red wagon? No, I don't ( a wheel barrel :) Well, you just makes more trips and buy just what you can carry. Trust me! My grocery bill has been reduced and I'm losing weight, getting fit and staying healthy in the process. Also, exercise brightens my mood..it's the endorphins.

If only there were more people like me. NO really! I'm 58 cute! (thinking yourself as cute is a natural response to working your ass off running, walking, bicycling, doing yoga, and kayaking). Of course I think I am cute!

I remember a woman a few years back who was 48 and had a book out (maybe she was 58?) on how to be a little older and still look good. You should have seen her six pack. I was so amazed that a woman that age could look that good! And here I am, too! Sorry, to say.. truly I am, because we are far and few between. (Okay, now I'm really going to hear it!)

You know I watched the DVD "What the Bleep do we know" and now I have watched all three double sided DVD's of the sequel "How far down the rabbit hole to you want to go?" It's fabulous. It's so worth the $26.00. But, Borders had it on sale for $22.98. Get it guys, it's so worth it. Watch it and feel powerful! Watch it and feel in control of your destinies! Watch it and know that you can plan your day and watch it unfold before your eyes!

Well, so far, none of that dreaming, wishing and hoping stuff has worked for my love life; I mean my intimacy life...but I figure timing is everything. I'm probably just waiting on her to get freed up.

Okay, I'm changing the subject back again, sort of: BP has been accused of dirtying up the atmosphere and rising prices. Personally, I think the pipeline in Alaska is probably just fine. I believe the oil companies want to drain the tank quickly; sell all they can fast before they contract all the farmers to grow corn for Ethanol.

Where are the electric companies in regards to clean air and electric cars and fuel shortage situation? Tell me? I know a small company in a small town that makes car (gas car 12V batteries) so why doesn't an innovative entrepreneur come up with super battery production and could electric car production. Better yet. Open a shop to convert any car from gas to battery. Idea: Develop a innovative light super power and life battery and convert your vehicle from gas to electric. Who would buy your old motor - probably no one. Personally, I think converting a car from gas to electric is an excellent idea. So, you geeks out there, get your heads together and staring building converter shops (I guess that would mess up the warranty on the gas vehicles) Okay, then just start the project from scratch.

But, I know what the problem would be. The gas guzzler auto companies who discourage any gas competition or electric competition. Remember the movie "Tucker" with Jeff Bridges who was all but killed trying to product a faster, better car. Watch out - they believe in the saying and take it literally: "Kill the competition".

Okay, I'm better now - I just had to get my "clean air" fix. So, let's look at this war situation. Here we are just about in WWIII and no light at the end of the tunnel. Why do men want to hunt down and kill, process, and rule? Jesus, can't we all just get along? Let's just make up our minds to all get along and breath in clean fresh happy air.

Great idea for book don't you think? Laughing gas saves t)he day! How about a love gas. I don't mean spanish fly or something ignorant. (Do you think that is what Viagra is? Spanish Fly, the poor man's (without insurance) Viagra! Okay Okay I'm done.

But an air born gas that just brings out the sweetness, manners, and good nature within you. Sounds like a Mel Brooks movie to me - happy farting by the campfire middle easterns. I can see it now - up on the marquee above the entrace to the threatre.
