If someone wants to sell their hybrid because of these horrible EMI fields, please have them contact me. I might be interested if the price is right. <GRINS>

Or maybe the car was "too quiet" on the INSIDE too, her brain was telling her it's sleepytime.

LOL!!! My wife is a narcoleptic. Driving with her has been a 31 year trip. <GRINS>

I guess she doesn't own a cell phone... or a computer... or a TV...

I wonder if I can sue GE for their microwave putting me to sleep...

Any hype over hybrid electromagnetic fields is bogus because the hybrid batteries are direct current, or DC. The dangerous EMFs come from alternatic current (AC) sources, like electric transmission lines.

The Earth emits a constant EMF, easily measurable on any detection device. But because it's DC, it hurts no one.

SSSSHHHHHUUUUUSSSSSHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Let's say you know someone who bought a really nice hybrid and then learned about these 'horrible' EMI fields. If you want their car, make sure they learn about all of the 'terrible' things about hybrids: (1) exploding batteries, (2) crushing blind people and their seeing eye dogs, (3) mileage isn't so good, (4) they don't last very long, and (5) too expensive to maintain. Best to not let them hear it from you directly but by other means. Then after a day or so, in casual conversation, mention how you'd sure like to get a hybrid like theirs but they are so expensive. You've got the money but not for a new one so you'll have to settle for a brand new Chevy Aveo (or other econo-box.)

I see no problem in using someone else's unreasoned fears and ignorance to strike a good deal. It isn't mean, it is the tuition in the school of hard knocks.

That is a great and truthful quote! LOL. And when the fear ads/articles come from the competition, that just points to desparation.
