Edward Heine, 101, stopped driving three years ago, but his 85-year-old wife, Hya, still does. On Wednesday, the pair traded in their Jaguar for a Chevrolet Volt, one of 14 electric cars currently on the U.S. market.

“Chevrolet?” Heine said, laughing. “Never would have believed it. But my wife wanted this electric car.”

The Chevrolet Volt is the most widely sold plug-in hybrid vehicle, according to a July report from Bloomberg. Heine, an Army veteran and former consultant, said he decided to lease the car for two years because by then the technology will be so different.

“In two years, I’ll trade it in. I don’t expect to be alive, but my wife will be,” Heine said.

You mean the casket?

Good for them, but I would hate to be stuck behind this couple on the road.

20 in a 45...

You would think old people would be in a hurry when they drive. I don't want to die while driving to the store, I want everyone to see me drop while I'm at the store picking up more Bran Flakes.

The Volt is one sexy ass hybrid
That front end would look good on a sports car imo

I like the Volt, but I wouldn't trade a Jag for it

So he bought his wife a Volt. I wonder what he bought for his mistress?

If he does actually have a mistress (at this age) he probably does what you do.... Buys lots of:

You biatch! What the hell are you doing posting on a Sunday? You should be in Church or renting jet ski's making money instead of making up total b.s. about my manhood.
My shit works fine. It has a mind of it's own!

Ah... they do say this typically happens in the elder years so maybe this isn't a good idear....


Gay people don't do church... we're all going to Hell ya know, I've already put my renters (ski's and pontoon) in the water so now waiting and wasting some time.

That is what I am doing too. I am trying to decide if I should call my boss up and see if he will let me use the F-250 for a Santa Fe run and pick up my new 55" LCD from Best Buy or call my bro and borrow his Ram. Damn box wouldn't fit in the damn Stratus. Freakin' decisions, decisions.
I needed a bigger idiot box because much like my manhood, my eyes have a mind of their own too.

You haven't met my grand-mother-in-law. When she took her test at 80 years old - they told her to slow down! She's 96 now and still drives like a demon!

I don't know why this is news.
Maybe they are the ones who I got stuck behind driving 35 in a 40 mpg zone yesterday on a one lane road that spans 5 miles long (which everybody drives at lease 45 on) .

My grandfather is the same way. He seems to drive his age.
