The price of a Volt is reVOLTing, and all of us taxpayers then have to subsidize you even further to entice you to buy it. And then the State of CA, which is on the way to fiscal ruin will find even more taxpayer money to fund your purchase. If you really want to continue the tax abatement, come up here to Oregon and register your car, 0% sales-tax here, as so many of your golden state cohorts do, mostly with RV's.

Then to add insult to injury, you get the use of the carpool lane.

Hmmm, surprised the Volt isn't on every corner....

Meanwhile, the ZL1 owner pays $2600 gas guzzler tax before even driving it off the lot, when in fact, it pays more tax given its bad gas mileage, while the Volt driver gets the carpool lane with but one person in the car.
While I admire your dedication in helping the tax payers, you have to remember that I've paid my own share, but that's not even the point. The money has already been allocated, so whether I take it or Joe Blow, it won't make a difference.
