Default I drove the Chevy Volt (0-60 video)

A dealership just a little ways away from where I live has a Chevy Volt that they're using as a demo car. I talked to one of the dealers about it and he told me that they're not even allowed to sell this Volt for 6 months. It's strictly a demo car for right now. So, my wife and I took it for a drive (my second time driving it) and I decided to take a video of it too

Seeing that it was 16 seconds long I feared for the worst. That isn't horrible.

The Volt is too expensive for me, but it was fun to drive. The fit and finish on the inside was really good and clean, but there are buttons ALL over the place. You have to have a co-pilot to work those, lol.
