Ah how far technology advances...
back in the dark ages, when the Insight first came out, it took half the car... that is the battery pack. Well today we went down to cover the San Diego International Auto Show. Not only were there electric vehicles, not just the Volt or the Leaf.... but full sized trucks that are also hybrid electric.
We are moving slowly towards a whole new generation of technology.
This is how technology moves. I am far from an expert, but as far as batteries are concerned, I'd say we have had major leaps in technology.
This is good.

Thank you! That's a confession I've been waiting years to read.

that is a piece of trivia most people really do not want to know...
Hell, the three different drive systems early on were amusing to say the least. My all personal favorite is actually the steam car.

posts for a long time waiting and ahem hoping for just such a thing.

Nadin is an expert on experts.
If only she knew the difference between an engine, and a drive train. I hope she has AAA for those flat tires.........(http://www.conservativecave.com/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Leftist Spews Hateful Words At TPer
This discussion thread was locked by EarlG (a host of the General Discussion forum).
When will Liberals learn to tolerate opinions different from their own? So hypocritcal and disgusting. I can't blame them, though. It's how they are. I think their penchant for violence lays just underneath the surface of their veneer of civility, and when that veneer cracks, then their true nature emerges. Just like the thin veneer of oak on a cheap piece of furniture, once it is stripped away, one can see the reality beneath.0 Tweet

32. I would have loved to ask that question myself

but at six in the morning... there was nobody maning the Honda booth. This brings me to the next item. This is the second largest show in the West Coast. LA is first... and you could tell who wanted to sell and who was there because everybody else was. Honda was there because the cool kids were there... so was Dodge RAM and yes another one of the American brands.
Props go to Jeep, Ford, Infinity and yes Cadillac...
We also learned of some other cool tech. One vehicle revealed there (prototype) from Infinity. it has a rear facing radar\sonar... that will apply brakes if you do not after warning you have somebody behind you. Now that strikes me as the type of safety equipment that SHOULD become standard.
The full story, with photos will be up this afternoon, when it does I'll link to it.
According to the car shows website (http://www.sdautoshow.com/show-info/dates-times/) the doors don't open until 10 am.

I wish she would just shut the **** up and hold her breath for a few hundred years.
Nadin's got a serious obsession with batteries.

Thank you! That's a confession I've been waiting years to read.
She spent a day at the auto show and she's already talking like an old sea dog. :lmao:
I wonder if she even knows how to change a tire without consulting the owner's manual.
it has a rear facing radar\sonar...
I'm sorry, but this has me laughing with tears coming out of my eyes. I think I'll install Sonar on my car tomorrow. She's ****ing dumb.
Does this admission mean Nadin will have to decline her Number 1 DUmmie of the Year award?
When I voted for her, I was under the impression she was under the impression she was an expert.
I would still vote for her, but still, there seems to be a principle here.
At 6am I doubt that any of the booths were occupied, the janitor must have let her in. Can't wait to see her crappy pictures of the event.
Funny, I always thought the press day was the day before or a couple of days before the auto show, not 6 am the morning of.
I'm guessing nads hasn't spent much time around convention centers at that time of morning. Maybe the dive bars surrounding them at 1 am, but not 6 am. Downtown San Diego wasn't a nice place to be about 20-25 years ago.
And not to burst your bubble, nads, but the SD Auto Show is shit. It's a bunch of dealers pimping out current model year crap and offering test drives--in short, it's a one-stop auto sale. It's a slightly more condensed version of automobile row along I-8.
If you wanted a SERIOUS car show, besides LA, there's NAIAS in Detroit, Chicago, etc. SD is NOT the second-largest. San Fran has over 800 vehicles. Hell, even the SEMA show in Vegas (aftermarket show) is bigger than SD.
Bottom line, go hang out on Camino Del Rio and tell us what you see. Bout the same shit, nads. Color us unimpressed.

^ Good point.
Sorry Nads. It's too late to renig now. (PS Yenta: That word...wasn't racist.)

That word may not be racist, but it is misspelled. Renege, a contraction of renegotiate.
Is it? I've most often heard it in relation to bets or card games. In that instance it means failing to make a bid or bet.
