I was in a hybrid yesterday. Part electric, part petrol. The car is charged as you drive. An interesting car.

Have a friend that has a hybrid Ford, seems like a good car. Would like to make my Suzuki Samurai electric.

I fell in love with the sound of huge gas guzzling American V8s when I was 10. I will sorely miss them when they're gone.

Agreed!

But I don't think the cars will disappear in your lifetime. There will be car meets long after we both are buried. It's the fuel stations that'll stop it

Also with modern technology their efficiency can be improved. I have a 2019 ram quad with 5.7 V8 that can get 22+mpg but can light the tires. Same engine in lighter vehicle and some tweaking no telling what is possible

That's funny, I got a V6 lumina when gas was $4 a gallon to save fuel. Drove a Chevy 3/4 ton with 454 before. Kept the pickup for trailers, it's a hoss !

I don't care about fuel economy or technology. I find it ridiculous you can get a tune up and more HP with a laptop.... Gimme that V8 with a bore kit in a vehicle with a carb and distributer...

Got the Lumina in 2008 I think, gas was high as a cat's back. Sold it to a older feller at church for $200, it was nice in and out, everything worked, ran a hole in the wind. Then bought a new short bed dodge with v 6. There was cash for clunkers back then so could have traded that car in for thousands more but didn't

i was always loyal to the domestic cars ... chevy , dodge , plymouth crysler and my favourites Oldsmobiles .... but when the imports got cheaper i switched to the Camry from Toyota and now Its Mazda ...
i always will remember my first Dodge Aries "K Car "... she was a reliable 4 door sedan .... if I did not wipe out on the highway that first winter .... i would probably be still driving her ... ha ha!!

I'm domestic as well unless it's dirt cheap. The only imports I'm a sucker for is the Suzuki samurai. Now have 3.

The car is charged as you drive? No need to plug in anywhere? Now that is a great idea.
