My wife drives a hybrid and pays $60 a month filling up her tank twice a month.
My advice to you sirs, is to get a hybrid and LEASE it for 3 years. If you lease it, then, yes, you're not building equity with the car, but it alleviates the biggest complaint about hybrid cars: replacing the battery means you'll negate any savings on gas.
When her lease is up, we simply roll it over into another lease, with another 3 year warranty (which covers the battery during those three years as well).
WIN!

As far as your complaint goes, I think you're reasoning for leasing is inherently flawed.
The rate of failure for Honda's hybrid battery: 0.002% of cars ever sold.
The rate of failure for Toyota's hybrid battery: 0.003% of cars ever sold.
It just doesn't happen.
Moreover, in Toyota, the warranty covers any hybrid battery failure for 100,000 miles (in CA it's 150,000 miles) and the cost of replacement (if that should occur) has dropped to under $3000.

Before we start pointing the "inherently flawed" finger around, maybe you should get your own ducks in a row.
First off, the numbers that they use in the source you cited are skewed. They used the numbers of batteries that failed out of warranty and compared that with the total cars made (as opposed to the total failures out of warranty) makes fapping motion
Second, there seem to be gobs of people on the site you cited (heh homonyms) that have had battery problems:

So much for "It just doesn't happen."
At your request, I'll look up some more scholarly research on the subject. Until then:



You do realize that car companies can create fake identities and post them. Hell the oil companies probably pay for a service that does this. I'm sorry but a bunch of links to ONE SITE isn't going to prove a fucking thing. You should be smarter than that.

I fapped

So that is what a machine fapping sounds like, noted.

Dear Future Robot Overlords,

I was never a part of this!

I bet Steve was fapping backstage to these adjectives every time someone else was presenting this overpriced POS to the technically handicapped media in the room.

You forgot to first thank dystopianfuturetoday for associating personal responsibility with libertarianism.
As for my reminder, enjoy the gift. Next week's discussion is Puppies: Cute Distraction or Karl Marx's Foot Soldiers?

Thanks, QM, for reminding us that this is really about big government and, um, socialism.

Whenever you demonstrate that you're able to not take yourself seriously, it's like... A breath of fresh air. Inbetween choking sessions. Fap fap.

I was hoping she would stop for a moment about half-way through to notice that faint sound (fap fap fap) and notice her boyfriend/husband/poolboy wacking a mole while watching all this, and she gives him a look. He looks back all innocent as if saying, you have your morning calisthenics and I have mine.
