If only there was something between both extremes, like, um, reasonable regulation.

The fact that you got the top model for that price is impressive. I liked these cars, but they seemed a bit large for a coupe. That said, you got a package that I’m totally jealous of and at that power level, any concerns are completely to be set aside for the steal this is. And I love yellow in such cars. Let the…

That will get you up about half a switchback. But that’s all you really wanted anyway.

A bit more pedestrian then some, but I bought a supposedly “universal” cross-bar mount off Amazon for my Mazda sedan. I got about 3/4ths of a road trip out of them, so success?

It’s a great job, but not my style—the white looks too sterile to me. I like these organic catastrophes that are the Peacemaker buses and a few others like them that have rich wood interiors like a boat builder would make.

Used one of these in my 88 MR2 for 5 years and then another several years in my Volvo V40.   I still have it and it probably still works, of course, cassette decks in cars are long gone unless you have a car that’s more than 15 - 20 years old. 

seems bothersome to me that in the year of our Lord 2022 that such a vehicle isn’t offered as at least a PHEV. I mean, you can get all the power you want, all the pricey too, and a modicum of environmental cred.    IMO, this should be the case for most vehicles these days.  BEV option or PHEV option.   At least give…

perhaps DHL?

A New Yorker article a few months back on electric trucks was much more balanced, IMO.

I was indeed waiting for some, um, crank, to say they didn’t want power windows. Yeah, I’ll stick with my power windows thank you. Where’s the person that wants to have their manual choke and have to adjust the points on their distributor? sheesh!

I think that’s something worth considering. 

Sadly, this is the biggest part of the problem. Carmakers aren’t helping the problem, but they aren’t the main problem. If the government wants us in EVs and PHEVs, and the SHOULD, they are going to have to eat some of the cost—more than they currently are.

trunk lids that are big enough to actually swallow a large box... plenty of cars with decent trunk space that you can’t get anything large into. 

It would be if the problem was not something that was a factory/design flaw.

If you are doing the work yourself, it is probably worth it. If you are using a contractor, then they will usually price it at the projected value added to the house and it will be a wash. This is especially the case now since they are so much in demand and just everything is expensive.

And beware that with mortgage…

I think it depends on how you feel about cleaning the carpeted ones.  I have weathertechs in one car and factory rubber mats in another one.  I had carpeted mats in previous cars.  They got nasty and yes, hid dirt, but also captured it and held onto it.  The rubber mats keep the dirt trapped and off the car’s carpet,…

No, not unfair because most manufacturers go over these with a fine toothed comb and they tend to be on average better examples than what you get in production.   Tesla is showing this to the public.  They clearly don’t care.  Or rather they are in a situation where they felt they had to some something rather than…

Lots of native American sites in Ohio have long since been destroyed or damaged by people who didn’t care, including some apparently rather dramatic ones in the 19th century.  

I visited here a few years back. It’s a different experience than a museum—makes it all the more real. It’s the second time I’ve been to a site where there were dinosaur fossils. It’s fascinating. But this area is pretty distinctive with the prints. I hope that it is better taken care of. I’m saddened to think of how…
