Re: Corbin Motors is Bankrupt:

I can't imagine that there would be any market for this thing except for the tiny demographic of bad British secret agent movie parodyists and henchmen.

As far as the investors go, well you takes yer chances, too bad. Darned thing stood no chance to begin with. You'd have to be able to sell ice to Eskimos to sell many of those things.

You've forgotten the cardinal rule when understanding Eco-Wackos. Overpriced electric cars are supposed to be used by the masses, you know, the riff-raff, like us.

The Eco-elitists themselves, being fully enlightened and superior intellects, deserve the full luxuries of society as their just reward for their guidance.

After all, have you ever seen a big opponent of "Urban Sprawl" like the President of the Sierra Club give up his big Marin County spread and move into a small apartment himself? Fat chance.

I've yet to see any big mouthed pol that gets bent out of shape about "urban sprawl" give up his or her own home in the 'burbs.

Re: Corbin Motors is Bankrupt:

It's a good thing to see THAT mandate go. Recharging an EV to go 50 miles creates more hydrocarbon emmission at the El Segundo Power Plant than you'd get just driving a modern efficient gasoline powered Tercel 5o miles.

When you let people without the slightest understanding of science pretend that they can force scientific progress you get at best a clusterf**k.

Re: Necessity is the mother of invention

Actually, the funniest bumper sticker I've seen recently was on a new Toyota 4-Runner, parked in the driveway of one of these 3000 sq ft luxury homes near the University. It said "Developers Burn In Hell". I was tempted to knock on the door and ask if the owner understood the term 'irony' but figured that the owner would never be able to understand such a concept.

Re: Off subject

Well yeah you could. A Leyden Jar about as large as a house should do the trick.

Of course, Murphy's Law guarantees that the lightning will strike everywhere except where you want it to.

A better idea would be to attach lightning rods to the heads of eco-wackos. Effectively the space therein should be empty enough to hold the charge of several lightning strikes.

But once again Murphy's Law guarantees that the lightning will strike your cat instead.
