Would not make it to work in a car with a 40 mile range. I’d have to walk the last 10. Plus, my trip is through the Saint Croix river valley. Sure, I can roll down the one side, but it’ll suck the battery dry going up the other..

They have a long way to go. I’d rather have a efficient diesel. Like a Jetta.

I even worked on a solar car when I was a freshman/sophomore in college.

Electric motors have phenomenal torque and great acceleration. Their main problems are the short range and the time needed to recharge the batteries. The limited 40-or-so- mile range means they won’t replace gas powered cars, but they could augment them: One car for the breadwinner that they drive to work every day, and another car for hauling, long trips and more.

Oh, and I’d have brought a Nerf dart gun for OwlGore…

President Pantywaist is on TV continuously and we’re utterly sick to death of him – already.

Rush and Leno both had too much fun with this one. And Rush was SO pumped on Friday’s show talking about this. Wish he’d do TV just a bit more often, but he doesn’t and that’s what makes it special.

I’d run over Algore 10 times…

…I just can’t take this quite so seriously. It was a joke engineered by Leno’s guys, one that seemed to be taking a gentle shot at Rush and his philosophy. But he good naturedly took full advantage of it, and turned it around into something even funnier.

LOL. Very funny.

I would consider driving that car.

I think this is a level of disrespect that should be beneath us.

We should be attacking him and his theories relentlessly, until he is exposed as the self-centered political snob that he is, and then cast him down as a beaten and broken shell of a man for trying to pawn his self-satisfying lies off on us.

But hitting a cardboard cutout of him in an electric car? To me it seems like the sort of shallow political childishness the left made famous (like trying to name a garbage treatment plant after Bush).

when Rush nailed Ed twice too.

Excellent DR2k driving technique worth bonus points imho.
Rush also tried to tell Jay that electricity generation makes the so called ‘green’ vehicle not so green.

…I would buy him one for that bit.

Well played, Rush.

How many movies can you name, after all, that have Sylvester Stallone in them before he was in Rocky?
