Sometime during the night we passed the 1/4 milestone, "Yeah Baby". Now we're getting somewhere, The next milestone is at the 50% mark. (AKA The point of no return.)

I wonder how fast we can get there?

Now I know it's 'officially' COLD here,.. Yesterday when walking to the store a man was walking in front of me and all of a sudden I hear a familliar noise andd a puff of smoke shot out his rear end. Yes indeed it sure is cold when a Fart is visible to the naked eye, but thankfully this same 'cold' prevents you from smelling it.

I almost burst out laughing when I saw that. (I waited till I got home and shared the experience with my Brother and Mom, we all had a good belly laugh.

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

Although hybrid cars use a lot less fuel and are environmentally friendly, I heard that they may not save you money because the cost of the car is higher. I suppose that after many years of driving, the fuel savings will offset the initial price of the car and you'll start saving money, but it's probably going to take a long time to get to that point.

Guys, please bear rule number 5 of the board rules in mind:

5) POST COUNTS:

If we determine you are trying to drive up your post count via frivolous posts, you will be warned. Further violations will result in the frivolous posts being deleted and the subsequent post counts from those posts being pruned from your post count.

Thanks!

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

hmmm, I started this thread and thought there was only one rule.. (Don't post more than twice in a row.) Now you say there is at least 5 rules?

So what are rules #2, 3, 4? And if there are even more that I'm not aware of, what about #6, 7, 8,..etc.?

If the rules get too numerous I feel a Boston tea party comming along.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

No just seeing if any one was paying attention. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

After much looking and test driving, I went with a Civic. Except for the lack of snow traction, I have been very happy with it. I put some Goodyears on the front of it and the snow problem seems to be fixed now. I had sought to find someone who has had one for a while so that I could see if they had any tips as to care and feeding and such.

This was the strangest car deal I ever made. In the past I always bought Chevy's, I negotiated a price and then ordered the car/truck. Thank you very much end of deal. With the Honda it was pick one off the lot, pay the price on the window, no negotiations, then brace yourself for some butt kissing. The place calls my wife every other day to make sure she is happy. They sent us cookies. And I get email from Honda almost every day.

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

Hmm, if that was pointed this way, it might be time to find a bottle of spf20000

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

Well, based on the info I had, it should pay off. The Cavalier we had got about 20mpg. The Honda is getting 39 now and still improving as it breaks in. At 2$ gal, it would be about a 5K fuel savings at 100K miles. Take the difference in price of the hybrid Civic and conventional Civic and it leaves about 1500 bucks.

The one thing I can’t get used to is the engine shutting off at stop lights. Even though I know what is happening, I still have a moment of panic every time it shuts off.

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

Wah? I hadn't heard they do that, but it makes sense I guess. Sounds like a golf cart you got there. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Does it feel like a real car performance wise? Does it take off ok when the light turns green? How's acceleration on the highway?

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

The new hybrids are kinda cool. But I have one observation. If you buy one all your doing is transfering the gas you would use in the car to a power planet. So the effect is the same, just distributed differantly. Besides, what would you rather pay? $2.20 a gallon for gas, = 30 miles, or $5.10 per 30 miles of power? You do have to charge the batteries, and that does not come cheaply, especially in energy strapped CA.

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

AT, the new hybrids do not have to be charged by house current. They recharge while coasting.

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

It has more pep under normal driving than the Cavalier. The electric motor feels sort of like a turbo. It runs 80+ with very little effort. It uses the trans motor to start the engine, so you hear nothing. The engine just starts running as soon as you let off the break. As long as you drive with one foot, there is no lag starting off. My wife is a two footer, so she has a little trouble with it in the city.

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

I did not know that. I am still 50/50 on the idea of a hybrid. I know that electric motors have excellent torque, but sustained draw on them depletes them rapidly.

I watched a show on PBS about hybrid/electric cars with Alan Alda and found the information fasinating. I am for Hydrogen cars - if they can master the dry sell technology.

Re: The Race to 1k Posts thread.. BYOP!
 

It never needs to be plugged in, the engine charges the batteries. Any time you let off the gas, it starts charging them. It tries to estimate what your intentions are and uses the charging so that it mimics engine braking. When you break, it goes to full charge and really pulls the speed down. If the batteries get below 50%, it will charge the a little when you are just driving along. I think the physics are based on converting momentum into electricity, then using the electricity to make the car go. So it is recycling the energy.
