    Please don't spew the doesn't pollute garbage. Electric vehicles put more CO2 emissions into the air with their overall production costs (mining precious metals like lithium, etc.) and use lifespan that burning recycled dinosaurs directly in a combustion engine. If you want an electric or hybrid to save yourself gas money, fine, but the green effect is negative.

    When the battery takes a shit....look at about a starting price of $5k to replace it, less the labor and downtime without the vehicle.

    The carbon footprint that it takes to charge it isn't free, even if all the clean coal burning power plants are put out of business in order to use much more expensive natural gas.

    Brutal. That's about the worst thing I've ever experienced. May you have a speedy recovery.

    Ouch, been there not to long ago.

    All of us, all at roughly the same time. We were a sickly bunch that's for sure. Good thing we have 2-1/2 baths.

    Hope you get better soon, but it's gonna run its course, no pun intended.

    I've had minor food poisoning before, but never like this. It's my own fault too. Feeling better now, but we'll see in the morning. I planned on going to bed like to hours ago until this held me up. Bummer.
