Hmmm. A government town that charges cars from Government Motors, but not others? That is a puzzle!<br /><br />We had a copper thief in town fry himself in the last 24hrs. Maybe if he'd gone to trade school, he'd have known better?

Each one of course has this mega extension cord that amounts to damn near 14 pounds of copper that plug into the station and into the car. When bums are steeling cast iron manhole covers to sell for scrap, how can so much copper sit on the street overnight or even over lunch? It can't. Unless the stealing of them fries a few people but then ordinary charging would as well, right?megapotamushttp://www.megapotamus.com/wp/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774510750415512728.post-3305353682985984982011-04-19T22:11:49.318-04:002011-04-19T22:11:49.318-04:00Silverfiddle: Maybe they should call it the "...Silverfiddle: Maybe they should call it the "Leafblower"?Mike aka Proofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08931553845065187278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774510750415512728.post-37291491398579676832011-04-19T21:31:41.506-04:002011-04-19T21:31:41.506-04:00And they're recalling the Leaf as well.
