2015 is only 9 years away, well within the expected lifespan of a huge percentage of vehicles now on the road.

Great...save the petrol for the old car lovers like us!

...Sweden has a head start over most countries. In 2003, 26% of all the energy consumed came from renewable sources - the EU average is 6%. Only 32% of the energy came from oil - down from 77% in 1970.

Cranks have been saying "the world's about to end" for thousands of years, generally as a prelude to selling you some product or creed.

If this Sylvia woman offers you Kool-aid, you might want to decline.

Sylvia Brown is a fraud and people read into Nostradamus. To further throw a wrench into the works, if our calendar was properly adjusted we would be dating our checks '2009' rather than '2006' as we do today. The calendar has been adjusted and monkied with many times in the past few centuries.

Lol, I just found this thread on accident, the world didn’t end in 2012 like they said 14 years ago :lol: And it’s still mostly gas cars. Since this thread began, electric car have become common though.

Wow! that was 14 years ago! The world I knew ended back around 2012 :lol:

Place is crazy now! Stop the ride and let me off :shock:

Dude what a trip! CD's won't be obsolete in 2015, pfft no way! Man those have been out since 2012.. Or the minority report computer being so far fetched. Got that now. Love the OP bragging about his CD burner that etches custom labels on too!

Makes me feel old though, I remember having stacks of CD's and buying my last one. And remember thinking it was the coolest shit to burn a mix tape with Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit and Lincoln Park.. Probably would of bragged about making my own custom labels too I guess..

CDs are now being replace by cassettes and vinyl records as bands are going back to the Old format. LOL

Interesting read! Lots of guys still think electric cars are going to take over the world in the next 4 years or so. Ha! Going to have to be a mad scramble on infastructure to make that happen! Even then there are a lot of places in this country that it may never be practical. I forsee a mix of fuels for a long time yet.

Don't sell the old Hudson Taraplane just yet Aunt Martha!
