The internal combustion engine (ICE) needs to go away. Die. RIP. Throw a rod. And I don't mean our collector cars. I mean as a mass commuter tool. It's what, 160 year old technology? We're in the year 2018, and it's still around?! Have we really been that dumb and lazy all these years that we haven't replaced it yet? Look at all the things that once existed and have been replaced by new technology. Yet this crude, antiquated air pump still holds us hostage.

Gas, oil, coolant, power steering fluid, gear oil, exhaust pipes, catalytic converters, radiators, oil coolers, filters, turbos, intercoolers, fuel injectors, pumps, hoses, belts, gaskets, and so on and so on. And yes, we still have...CHAINS! (or timing belts, but still the same function). My bicycle has a chain. In any case, cars are a disaster! They look like something put on life support vs a clean, functioning piece of technology.

If it's electrics that will replace the ICE, then let's go full charge into it. I don't care if some of my tax dollars subsidize it. It's better than filling up my tank and having those dollars go to the Mideast. Take all the aid we give to other countries, many of which are our enemies, and put it into electrics.

Thank you ICE. You've been fun. We had a lot of great times; lots of memories. If we feel nostalgic, we'll bring out the old scrapbook (which, by the way, has also been replaced with new technology) and reminisce. But the time has come or will come soon. Start packing your bags and don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out.

Humans have been around for a couple hundred thousand years

THROW THEM OUT antiquated meat bags.

Where the hell is that mouth breather smiley?

You could be instrumental is starting this "new Program" of phasing out the ICE by lobbying with your nearest Big Oil company...let us know how that goes

Good point. With the atrocities we have committed against each other from the beginning of time and still do, that's not a bad idea.

You are 100% shot out, next time you see your mother, please punch her in her face for us for this fiddle faddle you have posted.

I love how people love to talk about how electric cars are "new" technology.

They have been around since the 1800s--if they are so great, why have they not taken over yet?

And when I say "electric" cars, lets be real. What we really mean are coal- or nuclear- powered cars. And what ya' gonna do with all those toxic batteries when they need to be thrown out?

Sorry, there are no free lunches when it comes to power. Everything has pros and cons...

Problem solved. Then we won't need electric cars either.

Honest question: have you considered converting your Shelby GLHS to electric?

Looks like we have a troll in our midst. Do not feed the troll.

Perhaps it is time for you to join another forum....

Perhaps it's time for you to open your mind a little.
