Special Interest Group on CRAP

I’ve owned a hybrid car (a Toyota Prius) for almost three years now, and it’s been quite satisfying. It’s amazing to routinely get 50 miles per gallon on every tank with no effort on my part. I just get in it and drive it like any other car. OK well maybe not like my other car, but you get the idea.

I’ve always wondered how long it will be before we have pure electric vehicles, since the trend seems to make these quite feasible now. I’ve been tempted to put a deposit down on a Tesla, but the cost is simply too high for me to tolerate, and it’s not really a good replacement for the Boxster since it has too little trunk space. As an alternative, I decided to bite the bullet and put a deposit down on an Aptera. This won’t replace the Boxster, but it might replace the Prius. Someone has to lead, and I’ve always had a fondness for cutting edge cars.
