Question:
Answers:
Is a radar detector illegal to use in the state of massachusetts?
---------------They are available today - in fact, I already drive one - there are lots of choices for electric cars, and more on the way. Electric vehicles can have performance as good or better than gas-powered cars, and they cost a lot less to operate (only a penny or two per mile.) Why don't we all know about them? Why do so many people 'know' wrong facts about them? Good question!

First, the inexpensive ones:
*
Electric vehicle conversions (a gas car converted to run on electricity) are generally pretty inexpensive, and can be had for as little as $5000. You won't get the latest technology, so you'll have a limited driving range. But a conversion is a great way to 'get your feet wet' in electric vehicles. This is the sort of car I drive. It does freeway speeds, accelerates and handles fine, and looks like a normal car. I charge mine up at work so I have enough juice to run errands on the way home. Here's a link:

How about new tech electric cars? If you don't need to get on the freeway, you might like the ZAP. The ZAP is only $10,000 brand new. It's very cute, but tops out at about 45mph. It's not much bigger than a motorbike. Link:

How about the ultimate EV? Take a look at a modern electric car:

The Phoenix electric pickup truck - using new, advanced Altairnano batteries (based on research from MIT) - can:
Is there a way to figure out the amount of electricity needed to power a typical family car?
-Travel up to 250 miles per charge
-Carry 5 passengers plus cargo at 95mph.
-Charges batteries in as little as TEN MINUTES.
-Has batteries that last 250,000 miles (never need replacement.)

Now, as to performance - you can't beat the Tesla electric sports car:

Can i install a CAI in my automatic honda civic ex?
Not ever.There are electric cars on the market now, however they arent' very practical as of yet. Someday, when the price of lithium ion technology comes down, electric cars could be a very feasible alternative to combustion vehicles. Give the industry another 10 years or so, and hybrid as well as purely electric cars will be pretty commonplace. The technology just isn't quite there yet.
Is there any future for American auto makers?
To answer your question, it could certainly be a consideration. Electric cars have the ability to be incredibly fast (faster than most combustion vehicles,) especially when it comes to acceleration. This means that you don't have to give up the performance, just to be earth friendly.
What are some of the major mechanical improvements in cars from the mid 90's to early 2000''s?
Even hybrid electrics have still not solved the battery problems yet. So an all electric car is not realistic for practical suburban America driving.What is the loudest and best (horsepower gain) muffler available?
I would they are really clean for the enviroment and you :)Is it safe to do a BURNOUT with a SUV?
if i could drive i wouldNot Me!! I like my 40 ford street rod too much to give it up.
No because it probably wouldnt be in a manual transmission and there probably not as fast as good old gas power cars
What run in standing vehicles ?
I would, and I already own one -- a production model Ford Ranger. I'll snap up one from Phoenix Motorcars as soon as they're available -- nice answer from Apeweek. Also, AC Propulsion does a nice Scion xB conversion with lithium ion batteries they call the eBox.More Questions & Answers ...
