Hi all, Jesse here from MA. I drove my prius down to the New England Electric auto association meeting yesterday in Deep River Connecticut. Sure enough there was a Chevy Volt on location. Unfortunately the owner would not let me drive it but I got a quick ride in the back seat. The back seat seemed very cramped. The car was fully charged so I did not get to experience the range extender. The guy said he is leasing the vehicle for three years 36k miles. This is the first one I have seen in real life. Hope to get to drive one soon. Otherwise the car seemed like it was cheaply built.

I sighted one recently, too, just driving around town. Apparently people are really buying them.

Hey! That's a pretty neat trick!! How'd he take that picture when his camera is smooching the shift lever?

That must be the owners cam, since I took this pic with my Android device.
