New car sticker for my Bolt

[ngasfme]

Check out my new 5"x5" car sticker for the Bolt.
Put it on the lower right side of the rear window to not obstruct my rear view.
Should have added 'No corn juice needed as well'.
My range is more like 250 miles but figured I'd be conservative.

Haven't seen another Bolt in the wild yet so thought I'd let others know what that little white vehicle was that left them in the dust at the stop light.
Hope you enjoy the sticker as much as I enjoy my Bolt.

That Yukon next to you doesn't burn dinosaur juice either. Here's some remedial sixth grade science...

The association between petroleum and dinosaurs is long standing even though not scientifically correct. I think the sticker is just fine.

Sinclair oil company has used a dinosaur as its logo since the 1930's and their gas stations have displayed a dino all over the country.

Conventional petroleum based motor oil (as opposed to synthetic) is often called "dino oil"

And in addition the use of a dinosaur suggests something obsolete.

Sure the sticker is fine, and fun, and harmless. It's just factually wrong. But it was pretty snarky of me to allude to sixth grade science. My apologies to the OP for that.

Made me laugh,
and maybe because I'm a Brit, but the only think I thought about was that gas would be extinct when I saw the dinosaur.
Nice one

No apology necessary - just trying to have a little fun with the sticker. I'd like to think that within 25 years, electric cars will be the norm but I certainly wouldn't bet the farm on it. One would have to be extremely naive to think that the powerful influence of the oil industry is going away anytime soon.
Furthermore, I'd bet that China will have far more electric vehicles on the road than the US in the next 10 years.

Oh, that ship has already sailed:

It's no surprise, really. While we roll the clock back on the positive changes (few that they be) from the past few decades, our #1 economic rival is getting far, far ahead in this future, lucrative product. But hell, it's more important to get votes in Ohio, W. Va, Texas etc. than worry about losing the initiative.... or the planet.

I here you. We have one serious flaw in our government's structure that continues to haunt us. We do not have a group of scientific experts that have the power to develop and enforce a future plan to lead us into the future with a long term vision. Our entire capitalist system is not capable of addressing long term strategic planning for sustainable existence for generations to come.
In my opinion, this is exactly why China will clean our clock over the next 50 years.

Ah the disadvantages of democracy (if we can be called that any more) instead of total
control of purpose....... for good or evil.
