"Did you know that Einstein was not a good speller. If someone doesn't spell right it is RUDE to point it out to them. Hope your feelings weren't too hurt."
 
Actually, Einstein wasn't that good at basic math either, which I find even more interesting. His forte was theoretical physics. But math and spelling are not necessary for proper logic...

Einstein is my hero. Did you know that he didn't think is was important enough to remember his own home phone number; he could always look it up.
 
I wonder, what kind of hybrid enhancements Albert would make today if he were still alive. That man had vision
 
I would low to see what kind of transmission he could design.
 
6-speed manual Prius, (the best of all worlds)
 
MidCow
 
P.S.- With Mod to allow MG1 to idle when not need on highway cruising have gotten MPG specs up to 60/55 thats a 4 mpg improvement

He probably would see it for what it's worth and not bother with it...LOL

Albert, being frugal, would have loved to only spend $32.86 for 31 days of driving like I did in my last fillup.

And being smart, he wouldn't have forgotten about the $450 monthly payment coming out his bank account either.

Albert would probably pay cash for his cars...... by larsb

If Albert did not pay cash for his vehicle, then he would have a monthly car payment ANYWAY, whether he owned a Hummer or a Hybrid. Might as well have low fuel costs if the car payment is there REGARDLESS of the vehicle type.

Let's not have the exact same comparisons we've had before in the name of Albert, shall we.

Albert was smarter than that by falconone

I acutally can't imagine Einstein driving anything else other than a Prius. He wouldn't have any payments because Toyota would have given it to him for being the spokesperson. Hybrids... gotta love them!!!

That's the only way it would be cheap to operate a hybrid.

And this discussion of Einstein has WHAT to do with how hybrids work?
 
Let's contain the pros and cons of hybrids to appropriate topics please. Can't have it bleed into every topic.
