Hey, things are a little bit different in Texas!
It is nice to have the freedom to choose.

Saw the Opel Ampera plugged in at an outlet in front of Frankfurt train station in Germany. Awfully modern looking in a hip sort of way like the VW Bug when it first drove through Berlin in 1938 ( I was not there, not that old, just judging from the expression on peoples faces in the photo). Nothing beats the sound of a real American V8 though. Germans told me you can have that Opel with a V8 soundtrack. Well..............er, no, yes, maybe.... (Told them it's not 100% electric as it is actually a Chevy Volt, but then they sort of lost interest in the conversation)

Oddly enough I like the look of the Ampera much more than the Volt.
