Who ever built that should pay someone to take it off their hands.
Great Museum and social commentary piece.

ROFL!! Thanks for finding this Rich! I'm sharing it more.

But it looks as if the front end may be fighting the back end which effectively keeps it from moving. That would give it 0 mpg.

LOL. If they use the same computer models to find the moon that are used for global warming they will be off by...a few million miles. :)

We are in trouble. Can you imagine NASA estimating where the moon is?

No, this is new. They also teach "estimating" before they ever approach anything near mastery of a math topic.

This program is intended to confuse, I am sure.

Think you are right, with an uncharged battery at highway speed, it seems the engine can drive the wheels (mechanically) and charge the battery. I didn't know this.

Modern art. Good one. :-)

I think the Volt has been a sales flop because of the photo op early in Oblabla's reign where he drove one off the production line at the GM plant. I think the car has had the "Government Motors" stigma ever since. They originally planned to sell 40,000 of them a year, but it actually did more like 13,000 a year.

I don't understand it, but it's very profound. Let's call it modern art!

I remember I got passed by a Prius driver once. It sticks out in my memory because that was the only one. Ever. I don't drive slow...

I don't remember anything like that when I was in school. I credit taking extra math courses with helping my problem solving ability. I can't imagine this new approach helping with anything.

They are now a side seat driver.

And they are getting more grant money to keep production going.

Aggressive, you should fit right in. Most Prius' that I see are passing me and I don't drive the speed limit or below it. I also laugh out loud when I see a Prius going 80 miles an hour with a save the climate bumper sticker on it.

Me too!

I ride a Harley most days. I get just as good (or better) gas mileage than a Prius, and I don't have to be in a Prius... That said, on a motorcycle you become hyper-aware of your surroundings, and are in a good position to be able to see more. I've learned that SUVs notice me and stay clear, while a Prius is WAY more likely to not see me, not be paying attention, be doing something distracting, and most likely, a Prius will be the cause of my ultimate death on the highway. Prius drivers are, through my own loose statistical sampling, jerks, and I stay well clear of them when I can.

Yup. And they haven't even factored in the costs of replacing the batteries as compared to the cost of gas. I really don't care how nice the car is: if I'm paying $20K per car more (via tax subsidies) than its competitor, it's not the car for me.

I want a picture of that if anyone sees it.

Well if it has 4 wheel steering it could help those that are parallel parking challenged... great way to see the countryside... where does the back seat driver go? :)

An aggressive Prius driver. I am guessing people are talking about you. Pretty cool.

In all seriousness...Common Core Math is an abomination. I can't believe some of the stuff my kid brings home. The latest one?...On one of his math worksheets were three multiplication problems, side-by-side. The question was, "Which problem doesn't belong?"

I honestly think some people need to go to prison for this...

Funny, I think the same thing when I pass one. Now I will at least look to see if there is a Who is John Galt sticker on it. :)

It costs too much (anything over zero).
