  1. @aminorjourney Yep. The i was scary to drive on the highway-the slightest gust and WHAM, there I was drifting into another lane.
  2. @aminorjourney Just finished a week long test drive of the US-spec Mitsu i & can unequivocally say I really don't want one-even for cheap :/
  3. I didn't know Nissan made the Volt. Astounding! RT @GreenCarReports What's a year-old Nissan Volt really worth? hgm.me/JNdhmi
  4. Green is the new patriotism. Driving a car that uses domestic energy (electric or natural gas) directly honors our military. #MemorialDay
  5. @jynord Yeah, Gordon was very nice! Thanks again! @Ford @FordFocus
  6. @ArcticJello I'll spill all my findings in a full review of the #Ford Focus Electric on AutoTrader in the next week or so. Stay tuned! #EV
  7. @ArcticJello Focus #EV is really smooth w/ lots of power. Handles like gas Focus-i.e. very good. Quirks: no DC fast charging, low cargo vol.
  8. Although I have to say, the ridiculously small trunk space of the Focus Electric is annoying as hell. #EV
  9. Comparing the Mitsubishi i and Ford Focus Electric right next to each other really highlights how much more +$6K of the Focus gets you. #EV
  10. BTW, hat tip to @Ford for going out of the way to let me test the @FordFocus #EV for 24 hrs while it's in transit btwn Seattle & Denver.
  11. Electropalooza at my place today! Maybe 1st time #Mitsubishi i & #Ford Focus #EV parked at same residence at same time? twitter.com/EcoChambers/st…
  12. @RichXKU Thanks for the catch & you're right, if only by a hair. The original Honda Insight is same width as Prius C, but ~2 inches shorter.
  13. "Eight New Cars for High School Grads" With so many new/redesigned "starter" cars it was hard to whittle down the list. autotrader.com/research/artic…
  14. #istillwriteemailsbecause My mom isn't on Facebook. She doesn't know what #Twitter does.
  15. The top answer to this question blows my mind. "When did the term "douchebag" enter the popular parlance?" qr.ae/Rl0Hm @Quora
  16. #istillwriteemailsbecause 140 characters really just isn't enough.
