New Climate Change Report Warns of Dire Consequences

In light of the recently released report by the UN highlighting the dramatic effects and looming threat of global climate change, I decided today was the day to stop the talking and actually do something about it.

I went to my local Toyota dealership and traded in the Esprit on a three-year old beige Prius. The Prius has a lot of miles on it (over 100,000) but she runs pretty well. I'm going to miss the Lotus but I feel it's just time I made a change for the better. Good bye sweet Lotus mistress!

I would of bought a Chevy Volt over the Prius, but are you sorry to see the Lotus go?

April Fools?

lol, because non recyclable lead acid battery waste is so much better than burning dead dino earth blood. totally a joke.

Heck, I just want to know the specifics on the trade-in. I would love the right Esprit!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The funny part is a 3 year old Prius is probably WORTH more than an 88 Esprit ;-)

I lol'ed good one!

I think if someone barfed on its hood that may be considered an improvement.

I would of bought a Chevy Volt over the Prius, but are you sorry to see the Lotus go?

good april fools joke....but, I agree, I'd go with the Volt over a Prius.

 

[SwingLo]

April Fools! Well played!

 

[carbuff]

Yeah April Fools...rotfl

'Cause any REAL Lotus owner who wanted to go "electric" would buy a Honda CRZ, manual tranny and all...


(If you are doing a prank, at least make it plausible!) :thwack:

 

[Turbo R]

LOL...GOOD ONE!!!!

 

[MTLDean]

Despite the April Fool's intention, I'm somehow still infuriated with the idea....

 

[Beerman]

Yeah, APRIL FOOLS. The Lotus is still in my garage, and will stay there, probably until I die!

The couple of people that I know with Volts have had a ton of electrical issues over the winter. One shut down completely and refused to turn ignition on. The dealer swapped a ton of parts and it still acted up until the weather broke.

Beerman is probably better off with the Lotus. At least the forum has mastered all of the quirks with those.

So at the moment my daily driver is a 2009 Prius!

Actually a pretty efficient and reliable means of transportation.

I'm not sure I would call it a car, as it handles like a box with wheels.

It sort of fell in my lap last year and it allows me to save money to buy diesel for my boat which gets about 2 miles to the gallon and holds 360 gallons.....which is about what the Prius burns in a year.

And the boat isn't bothered by the rising sea levels that are caused by the farting cows.

So I got all the angles covered
