    DB, Drinnovation responded with links to support his position.
    You responded by making insults.

    I'll take his facts backed up with references over your claims backed up with name calling.

    Sorry, since you have not provided any links/sources to the fires you suggest how am I supposed to know what you mean. You made vague accusations and have presented no evidence it was caused by Volts or where GM was involved in the investigation. I guess I could see how to someone with 1st grade name calling skills my arguments with links to sources, might seem far advances (hence "6th grade" to some)

    Do you mean the fire's where media wanta-be sites like NLPC make acquisitions just because a volt was there, then never follow up after the there are actual facts.

    Are you refering to this one from conn
    Electric-Car Fire: Flaming Garage Shows Media Ignorance

    Or this one from NC
    Charger for Volt didn't spark Iredell garage fire, utilities say | CharlotteObserver.com

    Where in both cases the local fire officials said the volt had nothing to do with the fire?


    Unless you can show reputable sources suggesting a coverup, you seem to be the one in denial

    Another 6 grader response. Government Motors is what it is. The reality is (an no surprise there), that they have lasted as long as they have.

    OOPS, there I go again, putting out (alleged) insults. But maybe, just maybe the real issues is: "thin skinned individuals" ?

    Just food for thought.

    I'm waiting to see if this thread gets back on the topic of Fiskers and Hurricane Sandy. Failing that, there are Volt forums just ripe your your discussion. Failing that, I close this thread.

    So it seems that Fiskars are not unique in their vulnerability to 13 feet of seawater.

    Besides the cars at the port, I heard a report this morning that as many as 1/4 million used cars are considered "total loss" so new cars sales should bubble in the area.

    Tip #8 - Look for a scorched earth outline of a car with large lumps of melted metal and glass.
