So what do to you get when you mix a rock star, a 20-foot-long, 5,000-pound 1959 Lincoln Continental, natural gas, batteries, 'slog' energy and a rotary engine? LINCVOLT.

Love the fact the Neil jets back to the garage after a concert to work on his eco XPrize project.

Hope Neil Young will remember/Southern Man doesn't need him 'round anyhow.
 
Its like a locomotive. About the size of one too :p

Kinda cool that they are trying to make something that big do 100mpg. Sort of reminds me of, one of Jezza's doomed projects.
 
What makes it worse is that all he does with his whiny voice... is whine.
 
Hooray! Neil Young haters on Finalgear! Unfortunately, I do really, really like that Caddy. I'd like it better if it had a 472 cid V8 in it, but I suppose a wacky 100mpg powertrain is a close second.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF




Time to stop posting drunk.


But really, I'd like a 472cid or 500cid Caddy V8 in ... anything. Even a Lincoln.
 
Neil Young is great; that is all.
 
Have you people actually listened to the man or are you just hating for no reason?

If you don't like Neil by himself, give CSNY a try. I don't think any fan of classic rock can say they sucked.

Or are you guys like one of my friends, who always confuses Neil Diamond and Neil Young? Now Neil Diamond, he's one sucky ass singer.

Neil Young rocks because he has incredible range, or at least he has tried every possible musical style out there. You listen to Neil Young's albums and you'll see how each one feels completely different. Plus, Canada is in short supply of good singers so he especially shines.

He also rocks because he has good lyrics and a very distinct guitar sound... he's like Canada's Bob Dylan.

I think this has been the first time I've actually hovered over the neg-rep button. Be glad I'm a kind citizen!
(No, no, I kid. But seriously. WHAT THE HELL, REALLY? :shock2:)
