I had mine up to 90 on the LIE, but only for a short purpose. Some of us are forced to budget, please don't hate me -- I love putting $20/week in it as opposed to the 40-60 I used to have to do with the Sienna. I must be bi-polar, I love my GTS, then there is the Fisker I saw in Miami last month, pant. There's that budget problem again.

We don't hate you about having a Prius Steve. We hate you because you have beautiful GTS!

Fisker Karma at our Cars and Coffee last year! WOW!

Rick, at least the Fisker didn't burst in to flames in front of your eyes. They sure are beautiful cars...to bad they really don't have the tech quite right in them... I wonder if they will rise from the ashes like the Phoenix?

Rising: Well, if the fact that Porsche, BMW, etc., are putting hybrid techn in flagship cars (918) this is way more than just in the rear view mirror, if you know what I mean. There may be some bugs to iron out, but the Tesla fires were almost all due to "other" causes, like hitting a guard rail and damaging the frame. The torque advantages of the electric motor have been recognized a long time ago, it just wasn't feasible b/c it lacked batt techn. Technology generally follows "need." Everything is a trade-off. I don't enjoy the "small" aspect of it the Prius, but the $10.00/150 or so miles is great, w/ one charge, which means I'm getting 9.3 miles on what it takes to dry a medium load of wash, (my best est.). In metro areas, most trips are 5-6 miles. If I was doing that and charging after each trip, I would be using zero gas. Note: I will have to rent a truck from Home D. to get that carpet home, but I couldn't put it in the shark anyway.

If I could afford a Fisker or Tesla, you would be in my rear-view mirror.

Nice to see this thread has stayed popular for quite a long time! I guess this is near and dear to most of our hearts..... HA

I have not had to add any to the list I originally put up so far this winter,,,, but just in general all the right hand land people drive me nuts. They are actually proposing a law here to make it illegal but you have to be going the speed limit or slower. It already is illegal to drive beside someone..... but people ignore that all the time. If I only had a tractor-beam!!! Where is the Enterprise when you need her?

Did you guys see the Tesla vs. 2014 Vette and Slightly modded Viper videos??? While it does not walk away from them, the Tesla beats them BOTH! 12.08 qtr mile runs are UNREAL!!! At something close to 130! Just unreal!!
