    BMI is a poor measure of fitness. Muscle weighs much more than fat, but bmi can be calculated easily from old medical records. Fat percent, resting heart rate, time to run a 2K are much better measures.

    Yesterday, I had ants crawling along the EVSE unit on my Ampera :mad:, while charging at work.

    I put a double sided tape around the wire, at the J1772 plug, to prevent ants to crawl to my car.

    lol now that's a first. There are reports of Mr Mouse making his home in the air filter box of some country Prii but you don't want to get into your car and find the local ant colony decided that your car would be an ideal next home for them too! lol

    I think I got rid of them all. Yesterday, every now and then, one or two would appear from under the hood, but they don't anymore. I checked, with the flashlight, under the hood to.

    This is an article my journalist friends did about an Ampera. Since you can't read my language, I can only recommend watching the video at the top of the article.

    I can read your language :).
    The second video is even more fun, not.
    It must have been quite a lugage hit to come from Xsara Picasso to Volt.

    Not really, because we didn't need the full size stroller anymore, which took half of the Xsara's luggage space. We took the umbrella stroller, which can be seen packed on the passeneger's seat :)

    As for the 2nd video; it's a known 'feature' of a Volt/Ampera. It's an airdam, which improves aerodynamic flow of air around the car instead of below the car. And since it's a 3 part rubber dam, which flexes quite nicels, there's no damage done and you get used to it at a speed bumps, which are not built to standards.

    They should be :)

    We had lots of speed humps installed years and years ago which were of varying size, height and quality, but when it became common knowledge that one could sue for damage caused by these illegal humps, they were quickly replaced. You could usually see the bad ones as they had sump scrape marks over the top and deep scrapes on the other side too - ouch :(

    Nice video. Were the comments to the article full on the same nonsense we get here; usually from Top Gear fans.

    It's 1/2, 1/2. Thankfully some commenters are well educated.
