Seeing how today's Automobile Industry is trying to gear up for tomorrow's tomorrow, I have been wondering what you all think as far as what kinds of cars you are wanting, excited for in the not so distant future. Being born and raised in the muscle car era, I'm always going to have a deep seated desire for loud, fast, and angry gas powered vehicles. I'm not totally opposed to hybrids or electrics, but in my mind they (electrics mainly) are still not sufficient in service for any distance commuting. That and the fact that hybrid and electric's batteries are as bad if not worse for the environment than their gas powered counterparts. Creating the electricity is still not entirely clean in many areas, disposal of spent batteries is extraordinarily toxic, and the fact that the batteries for the electrics can be prone to ignition. But do any of you favor a specific mode for your transportation. I'm not looking at brands or models, but just the propulsion hardware. For those of you who live in cities and have no real interest or plans of owning a vehicle, I added the public transportation option so you don't feel left out.

  • I know where a few uncapped wells are and will make drip gas if I have to. Although I could also go the Natural gas route since that is why I know where they are. Something people don't think about with electric cars is the amount of pollution created making many of the parts that are supposed to be eco friendly. The battery is the worse offender. My sports car will make less pollution in it's lifetime then an electric car that makes it to the same age due to said batteries. Also, it's like 6k to replace the battery pack when they fail.
