On one hand, it's Soros, so a big STFU may just be in order.

...on the other hand, this could really kickstart some alt energy forms and maybe help with pollution and maybe get us the hell away from the middle east in the long run.

Probably just Soros is still an idiot.

When I worked at Intel, there was a guy that drove a SportsMobile to work. It got 6 mpg and fit 8 people, but he didn't carpool.

Some people justify the need to make more money to afford the cost of gas. That is the american way, and it sucks.

That thing is awesome. Talk about a roadtrip machine...wow. I eventually want to get an RV, but I think one of those would do just fine. Awesome.

I agree with you there. You can get them in Bio as well. They are fully configurable with all the racks, fittings, spaces, and crap you could ever want. They can be set up inside as well with a kitchen, or a shop, depending on your idea of function.

I just found it sad that someone would drive it all the way from Vancouver, WA (about 40 miles) every day to work.

He should have bought the diesel sprinter version - 22MPG

What's so dumb about that? They've already had one which was a real ball-burster. Civil unrest occurs there almost daily. I'm not really seeing your point.

Meaning bigger and heavier than a regular Cherokee. I fail to see how you can bitch about H2s and pickups while driving a Grand Cherokee. Even with the 4.0L they get crappy gas mileage. So what exactly is your point?

I failed to see where he "bitched" about H2s. He just said that owners are in for some trouble. That doesn't mean he himself isn't also in for it. Would the title have been better as "Grand Cherokee's gonna be cheap!"? Probably not, but the point is the same.

Little defensive are we?

Then call him out in the other thread. This one is about the potential price of gasoline. You're itching to pick a fight that doesn't belong in this thread.
