Now THIS is what I'd like to see in the future

If I get a car much smaller, lighter, etc... I won't fit in it!

I downsized and while at first it seemed like a tight fit I found that it's not as bad as I first thought. I'm a decent size fella and I don't 'need' an SUV as transportation to get from place to place.

Amen!

I wish they would develop a miniature nuclear reactor for cars and trucks. something that is surrounded with the strength of a black box from an airplane that could easily survive all crashes so there isn't a chance of nuclear waste.
but on the upper hand, if a aircraft carrier can be powered for 20 years by a reactor, what is to say you couldn't have a car that would be powered for 20+ years as well. then we could truly throw up a huge middle finger to the middle east and never buy gas again. (at least for cars)

And amen again...

Your statement was absolute and devoid of the facts I mentioned. I'm only operated based on the things you say here.

I also own a new truck so I KNOW the amount of extra power they produce. I did mention that other factors were in there such as weight, emissions and safety etc.
to say I fail to grasp a concept is a very bold statement.

either way, no need to be condescending to someone on here. I expect a little respect

I wasn't condescending at all. If that's how you read it then that's how you read it but no reason to lash out at me for a factual and non emotional reply.

I don't like that he's pushing "cap and tax" or that he's refering to Al Gore than someone other than a fraud.

When you say something like this:

You, like most people, fail to factor in the amount of power that those trucks have versus what they have now.

that is condescending.

either way, no feelings hurt, just no need to talk down to someone, even if it is on the internet.

Al Gore should be kicked out of the country for spouting soo much bullshit.

Now you've edited your post to include some new information since I've posted to your unedited post so I will address the new items you have added.

For starters, it's not me but YOU who is trying to stir a pot that isn't even there. I was pretty sure we were having an adult conversation so I spoke factually and directly w/o any emotion. I wasn't aware we were in some sort of Internet battle when I made the post that you are referring to. You CHOSE to take offense to what I said and read into words that weren't even there. Several times now you have said that I stated you didn't grasp something... at what point did I say you 'failed to grasp a concept' aside from this post? Please don't put words into my mouth to spur some sort of childish Internet battle because you have low self esteem and chose to find offense to anything that I have stated. I don't think anyone else read what I typed as malicious or directed towards you in a negative matter the required some sort of retaliation to save face.

You are taking this thread WAY off topic for no reason what-so-ever.
