Look, as a hippie-dippy hipster from the the hippiest part of the world (read: Sebastopol, CA), I know the power of patcholi oil, why ladies protesting topless down the main street is going to stop the war in Iraq, and where the nearest place I can buy cruelty-free moccasins is. Janis Joplin ain’t got s**t on my shirtless bead-wearing and Jerry Garcia, while going to my high school, only stayed for one year before transfering and I was there all four. Also, they are dead, so both can suck it.
So how do I feel about this? Well, considering my Xbox uses more energy than probably most other devices in my life, and that the Volt is an electric hybrid that a: does not end fossil fuel consumption and b: when using electricity gets much from the power grid that, yes, probably uses fossil fuels, I’m actually pretty apathetic. This is a marketing push through and through, and while the addition of the Volt into a kid-friendly kart racer (yes, that’s the image you want to make of your car Chevy,a kid-friendly kart racer) is neat, I doubt it’s going to make anyone go out and buy the hybrid. Toning the mean down, it’s a fun little addition, but not much more. Does the addition of the Chevy Volt makeKinect Joy Ridemore interesting for you?
