| Volt Redesign Revealed |
 |
The electric car that could save GM has been
redesigned after it failed wind tunnel
testing. GM was expected to keep quiet about
the redesign until September, revealing it
only to GM employees, before finally
unveiling it to the public at the 2009 NAIAS
in Detroit in January.
ABC news has obtained video of the latest
redesign of the Volt, showing the front
drivers side quadrant of the car and exposing
Volt fans to what will likely be the
production design.
Frequent Criticism of the Volt:
Q. What? Only 40-miles? Didn't the EV1 get
120 miles?
A. Don't forget that once that 120-mile AER
is gone, you had to park the EV1 for hours to
recharge it. Not so with Volt. It uses a
40-mile battery (enough for most peoples
daily commutes), but has a backup generator
onboard to provide for more range if needed.
Also, the EV1 range was measured from a SOC
of 100% to 0%. The Volt is from 80% to 30%.
Apply the same restrictions on the EV1, and
you're looking at about 37 to 60 miles. With
the Volt, plugging in is what saves you money
and gas, but it's entirely optional. It's
this flexibility that will sell unlike the
EV1.
Q. $45,000 or more! Are they insane?
A. GM CEO recently estimated the price will
be in the mid-to-upper 30's, meaning you can
expect the Volt to cost around $37,500. If
you consider tax credits (we might see
$5,000) and high gas prices (averaging $6 or
more over the lifetime of the car), the Volt
will actually have the same lifetime cost as
a Prius.
Q. Will a 161HP electric motor be powerful
enough?
A. Yes. Don't forget that electric motors are
much more efficient than gas engines. You
also get constant high torque. Gas engines
don't reach peak performance until they are
at screaming high RPM.
Q. But the onboard genset is only rated for
71HP. Does that mean when the genset kicks
on, my car will perform like a post-war
Beetle?
A. No, you shouldn't notice a performance
difference. While you are cruising, much of
the power from the genset is not immediately
consumed. You would be surprised how little
horsepower is required to keep a car going,
even at high speeds. It can thus store the
excess energy in the battery for when you
really do need it. So for this reason, you
shouldn't notice a performance difference.
However, if you are constantly requiring 71HP
or more (which doesn't happen for those of us
that still have our licenses), the remaining
energy in the battery will eventually be
consumed, and you will be stuck at 71HP. But
no one drives their cars like this unless you
are on a very long race track.
I'll add more answers as I get them. Probably
the only legitimate criticism of the Volt is
the high price. But this is new technology. I
expect the price will come down as more are
sold.

DEATH INFO AND LYRICS HERE
DOWNLOAD THE SONG FROM MY MYSPACE
http://www.myspace.com/rhytharoomproductions
Man, it feels like my uncle died or
somethin.... the song playing is "Lay Right
Here"
Comedian and Chicago native Bernie Mac died
early Saturday morning from complications due
to pneumonia, his publicist confirmed.
Mac, 50, had been hospitalized for about a
week at Northwestern Hospital, according to
his spokeswoman. A few years ago, Mac
disclosed that he suffered from sarcoidosis,
a rare autoimmune disease that causes
inflammation in tissue, most often in the
lungs.
The comic born Bernard Jeffrey McCullough
could cut an imposing figure. He stood
6-foot-3, was built like a fullback and
carried himself with a bouncer's reticence.
But perhaps the strongest weapon in the
Chicago comedian's arsenal was that voice,
that amalgam of thought and a delivery that
could rise like a tidal wave, outpace a
Gatling gun and remained, to his last days,
loud and unapologetic.
He wasn't scared, he told us time and again,
to tell anyone what he thought, to say what
others were afraid to say. That fearlessness
wasn't always welcome, considering Mac didn't
get his big break until his 30s. But when he
did, the comic skyrocketed to success in
stand-up, television and the big screen.
Lyrics -
I don't wanna hurt no more
now I don't wanna hurt no more
Now I don't know about you but I do thangs
no time on my hands all tied up like
shoestrangs
you got it all wrong like kids when they chew
strangs
i'm on some new thang, i'm on some new thangs
Look at me mr. New New Man
I'm on a new road path with a new plan
I know where I am don't know where you stand
and I know it's going down like south of
houston
I done did alot in my life done seen alot of
things
I'm the king that means I done seen alot of
queens
there's only one of me but there's a whole
lot of you
you do what you can do I do what I gotta do
sun up, sunrise, and sunset
I did my best but we all gotta rest
we all gon stand, we all gon fall
I know you worked hard throught the day but
afterall
(we can)
Chorous:
Be Easy, Count Your Sheep
Now it's time to get you some sleep you can
lay right here, you can lay right here, right
here
You worked hard, did your best
but now it's time to get your rest you can
lay right here you can lay right here, right
here,
Sometimes, I feel like crying, but I'm hard
so I feel like lying then i feel like dying,
then i feel like dying
My life is a movie spotlight all the time
camera come then I'm gon' shine but you
forget your lines, you forget your lines,
your lines
They act tough, they act like they want it
say they want it but they really don't want
it then they feel like runnin', then they
feel like runnin'
I do right, I done done wrong, done seen
everything but jesus so god bring it on, so
god bring it on, bring it on, bring it on..
(Chrous)
Now I lay me down to sleep, I give my lord my
heart to keep and my soul to take, and my
soul to take
Now I lay me down to sleep, I give my lord my
heart to keep and my soul to take, my soul to
take
I thought I told ya boy, I YUA i'ma soldier,
boy
I'm surprizing them, i'm like yeast at the
least i'ma rize again
I make hits like the crack of a bat in fact
you know its a fact I attack from the back
from the shadows like to the tha future I'm
back
If you didn't know it by now this song goes
out to B. Mac
(Chorus)
I know you're tired you can lay down here
lay down here
I know you're tired you can lay down here
lay down here
(Chours fade out)
