General Motors opened up orders for the Chevrolet Volt to all 50 states today, lowering the base price for the 2012 model by about $1,000 and adding four option packages. The 2012 Volt will start at $39,995, including delivery, and customers may be eligible for a $7,500 federal tax credit. GM was able to lower the base price because the car has more optional content now that it's available nationally, the automaker said today in a statement. The 2011 Volt had been available in eight states and Washington, D.C., and only had three option packages. GM is expanding Volt ordering as it prepares to add two shifts worth 2,500 jobs to the Detroit-Hamtramck plant that builds the car. Volt engineers are seeking to cut the car's cost through powertrain and production improvements, which will mostly be used to make the car profitable, rather than slash the price for consumers. GM plans this year to build 16,000 of the Volt and its European version, the Opel Ampera. That includes about 3,500 for overseas delivery and 2,500 as demos at dealerships. Next year, GM plans to build 60,000 Volts at its Detroit-Hamtramck plant, with 45,000 designated for the U.S. Detroit-Hamtramck this spring discontinued its other two cars, the Cadillac DTS and Buick Lucerne, leaving it free to build just Volts until the 2013 Malibu starts production next year. The factory will also assemble the next-generation Chevrolet Impala, expected to start production by 2013. The plant is in a four-week shutdown to update for Volt and Malibu production. After it restarts, the factory will start adding the second shift of workers, with the third to start at an undisclosed future date.

Here you go. I agree the per unit carbon footprint should decrease as the production numbers increase.
Besides, considering Neal banned you because you posted so much with so little to say, this is hypocrisy on top of hyperbole. Yep, about 22 posts, more or less per day. At least you got that about right, Mikey. Neil McIver? rotflmao. He'll always be my personal bitch in any forum. You are talking about a asswipe that give himself a laughable title at LP. And a guy who talks big talk about fightin 'da man!' only to fold like a cheap suit, by his own description.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
I see you still have nothing to add to any forum you belong to freddie. And sorry, neither you nor fraud of NYC are worth a lie to me.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
badlie is hysterical war. He says every day for five years you have burdened him with twenty two posts a day. I mean, how do you find the time? ROTFLMAO!
I mean, how do you find the time? His employers are beginning to wonder the same, now that you bring it up, Mikey. (roaring with laughter)
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Yet how many times have YOU posted this?
If it is so traumatic to suspect someone posts more bad posts then you, bozo him, bozo. Look on the bright side, you could be in prison with Steve the Mad Dog as your roomie bugging you to stop stalling and to get to the job of washing his socks.
Especially hysterical that he whines over me posting to him...he spends so much time "talking" about someone that he claims he doesn't care about.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" You would know this how, Boofer? (roaring louder with laughter)
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Chuckles...as if...
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" He has plenty of time to investigate this. I mean, it's not like he spends his time running a business or anything like that.
You could have stopped there...
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I see you still have nothing to add to any forum you belong to freddie Yet how many times have YOU posted this? Only when freddie chimes in, especially when nobody even thought to ask him to partake. Its what freddie does, so I note it occasionally.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Cupcake, he is on bozo. The only way I know he's here is when he posts another of his endless vanity threads...ranting about other posters, or the many websites that have banned his silly ass. As for 'bad posts' mikey, nobody can supplant YOU in that regard...although Mertz does seem inclined to give you a run for your money.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
No investigating needed, his whining to site administrators across the internet is the stuff of kook legend, mikey. You should see some of the insane emails he offers up, not realizing he's 'known' and therefore his 'poor little abused me' schtick causes quite a bit of laughter...and to be blunt, wondering about what the fuck happened to him as a child to cause this sort of thing. His employers have been wondering for years...more so these past few months from what I understand. Maybe its bullshit...then again, maybe its not. He sure got upset when a site admin contacted him directly, on the job, and demonstrated 'anonymity' is a relative thing.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
And you can count his posts without seeing them. Aren't you just so special to be that amazing.
Still don't get the concept of a public board, Boofer?
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Nope, the sites he indulges his curious need do however...and marvel at it.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Oceander has stated several times that he is not "site admin", Boofer. And, as is required of me when I receive such an email, I informed IT of the email who turned it over to legal who wrote a letter to Google stating that an attempt at identity theft was done using a gmail account. IF Oceander is a member of the Bar in the State of NY - as I have been told that he is - he really should have known better than to do what he did. But stop being stupid. He knows who I am because of you, Dick. His employers have been wondering for years...more so these past few months from what I understand. Maybe its bullshit...then again, maybe its not. For years you've been claiming I don't have job. I am also under contract for the next two years 3 months. Let them wonder all that they want to. But thank you oh so much for caring. How's the chili today?
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Wha...huh? That's almost a thought...
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" That was always a classic. He was gonna show them. Only to come back to the forum and say, "well, I went ahead and got a driver's license, but I could've showed 'em if I wanted to"
Now, I know I’m not going to change the minds of any of the True Believers…those who read all of Reverend Al’s sermons, and say things like, “You know, global warming can mean warmer OR colder, wetter OR drier, cloudier OR sunnier, windier OR calmer, …”. Can I get an ‘amen’??
Its what freddie does, so I note it occasionally. A poster has to be invited to reply? I didn't know that, but it's something you also need to remember.
Boofer...he OWNED your ass...he would leave you a sniveling mess inside of two posts...
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Actions define the man..in this case perfectly.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Oh ming, nothing to add of substance either, eh? No surprise. Now...aren't you late for mid week jew bashing class?
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Then there was that bizarre exodus to Ecuador...(wonder if the Feds were after him)
Now, I know I’m not going to change the minds of any of the True Believers…those who read all of Reverend Al’s sermons, and say things like, “You know, global warming can mean warmer OR colder, wetter OR drier, cloudier OR sunnier, windier OR calmer, …”. Can I get an ‘amen’??
Was that because an Agent of the IRS was after him?
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Was that because an Agent of the IRS was after him? I can only surmise.

I will say one thing...you REALLY stirred up the kooks with that one...
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" That's exactly what he acts like, why should that be a surprise?
Exactly.

America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" You mean this Badeye is the real Badeye? And not "Badeye after 5" or "Badeye on drugs" (or maybe "Badeye off drugs") or any of the other amusing puppets set up in his honor? I really hesitate to engage in conversation as it plainly wouldn't be that. I banned him for the reason that conversation was the very thing he avoided. Posting to LP was something that, if he wasn't paid to do, was something he should have been paid for. Thankfully, for LP's sake, Goldi finally realized both the lack of value and the liability he is. I plainly will not have the stamina or time to spar with him. I've much more important things to do, and no good would come of it anyway -- such is the limitation of these forums. He won't change, and neither will I so what's the point? As for my "folding like a cheap suit" or lawn chair or what have you, (whatever his latest colorful description for me is), I freely admit that I did retreat from a court fight. I can only claim credit in recognizing that the deck was indeed stacked against me in that room, that the judge did not want to hear my case and therefore chances of winning it was less than what I had projected up front. Indeed the charges were more than simply driving without a license but in fact involved a obstruction of justice which, unlike the former charge, was an actual criminal accusation which raised the stakes to an absurd level. I had in fact already grown weary of the whole thing some months before, realizing that trying to make a difference by standing up for what's morally right was quite futile in modern day America. Perhaps that's something Badeye learned long before me, in which case he may have a right to gloat. My pessimistic conclusion, whether it was projected on my part or actually accurate, was that the the judicial system in the USA is quite inept and disfunctional. It's an institution with a life of it's own, or perhaps more akin to a zombie-like "undead" life to it, which will keep moving in it's mindless manner and continue to play it's part in the moral decline of America. If I can claim credit for anything relating to that episode, it's that I was honest enough to be transparent about it as I was at all steps related to driver licensing, which is something my critics have never given me credit for, but nonetheless something I should, without any argument, get credit for. But I obviously never held my breath for that. Some critics, such as the aforementioned, have their own agenda's, after all, and being honest and giving credit where credit is due is not one of them. That alone satisfies me that I'm the better man. And yes, I am in Ecuador as I type. It's a beautiful country, especially at this dryer time of year at 8000 feet in perpetual spring with great views of mountains near and far, and not one on the verge of an economic disaster, if that is indeed what the USA is on the verge of, which indications from many sources say is at hand. Frankly, being in the USA is a liability for those there and being out of the country is far from bizarre, but rather more prudent. Ecuador's economy is much less sophisticated but I suspect that will be an asset in the event of a global crash, as simpler economies will not break as much. For those that remain in the states, I can only wish the best. Thanks for the ping there, war. Neil
Hey Neil... Boofer is indeed THE Boofer...the same sniveling mass of lying shit that you banned from LP. I still laugh at how you showed up to "congratulate" him on reaching 60K posts or some insane number that I never even approached even though I posted regularly for 3 years after Goldi banned his snooping ass for good. You were cordial from the onset with that post and were still able to reduce him to a whining oversated sac of pus within 2-3 posts. Always marveled at your ability to do so...as Boofer says, "The LP database doesn't lie." Your ability to have him publically display his goofies is well documented there. One look at his "contribution" to this thread reveals him as the same liar that he has always been. Please note: Due to your account status (Probationed), you may make 10 comments per day. You have made 1 comment(s) so far today.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!"Thanks, I wouldn't mind the URL too to best compare it with my sources. I know that one thing I factor in here is as production of these vehicles goes up, the manufacturing costs and consumption will drop quite a bit.

did the math, Mr. Hyperbole. Had he dedicated every day toward the end of posting to you, that would be about twenty-two posts daily.
