This is your daughter saying "I'm not having pre-martial sex because anal doesn't count." its a lie so fundamental it makes me question everything else said. Remember I LIKE electric cars, they're fun to drive and can be quite good in some situations, not for every situation but in many cases. I really dislike liars. If you're lying to me about "no pollution" what else are you lying to me about?
