There's a market for potato chips that look like religious symbols too, but that doesn't make any sense either.

Just because people but on it doesn't mean they actually will buy it. This is either people running up the bid and will never actually buy the car, or some rich dude looking to buy a novelty. Anyone spending nearly $100K on a car isn't looking to save money.

89k + whatever the new battery is going to cost. Electrics/Hybrids being sold after 4 years or so are so transparent.

Ive seen a ****-ton of those Geos lately. I couldnt drive it EVER.

As far as $90,000...why in the hell would anyone buy that? I mean I thought about the Rav4 EV, but never in my wildest dreams would I pay over $40,000 for it. The battery will eventually die out and then what? They dont make those anymore.
