Did GM make a critical error when scrapping electric cars over 10 years ago?

Electric cars did exist over 10 years ago, but GM decided to scrap all of the cars, even though they worked perfectly. It’s all in a documentary called “Who killed the electric car?”. GM sold the battery technology to an oil company and the electric car was no more. If they would have worked on [...]

Can a mid 60′s Lincoln Continental be outfitted to run on a bio-diesel engine?

I would like to buy a Lincoln Continental to restore (1964?) but put in a bio-diesel engine. Is this even possible? I am not much of a mechanic but surely an old Benz motor would fit under the huge hood of the Lincoln. Would I need a new transmission too (Benz)? Share It!: These icons [...]

I’ve always wanted to buy a hybrid car. But now I want to compare let’s say the Toyota Prius to a full electric car. If I can find a good full electric car that’s at a good price, I’d get it. Does anyone know any cars or good websites that have sedan plug-in electric cars [...]
