quite easy to spot the oldies on this thread
i am not exactly a high school kid myself, and though I am certainly going to miss the sound of an engine; lets be honest here, we will run out of fossil fuel. Electric cars are the way forward, unless something else comes along, but nothing will have the sound of an IC engine. I'll always keep an IC car, but will happily embrace an electric M. just because I am old fashioned and like horses, doesnt mean I'll ride a horse to work. Sure I might go horse riding once in a while, but if its impractical then thats that. Cant really understand all the fuss.
