   As long as you’ve got both hands on the camera it’s all right. Don’t want to bash the optics.

    I’m not sure what the owner is trying to say with that OILFAIL plate. Sure the Volt is a hybrid, and can get some of its energy from a wallplug, but it *is* oil-powered on most non-trivial trips.

    @imager If, like me, you got excited about Chevy’s earliest descriptions of the Volt; you can actually read this as high irony.
