I have thought about it. But the thing is that the jobs in my industry are here and as of now the sector is doing really well. I bought when the interest rates were insanely low so as a result the mortgage is 50% of the average rent these days ( which are also insanely high ) I am originally from rural TN where I…

Yeah but you all also get all kinds of nice things that we in the US will probably never get. Like public healthcare, pensions, free college educations, senior housing and so on. I can’t recall but I remember reading somewhere that Sweden had one of the highest contentment levels in the world. Probably because unlike…

A part of me really wishes Toyota would stop turning all of their SUVs into what amounts to Luxo-barges. My Dad owned an 88’ 4Runner and it was basically a Toyota 4 wheel drive truck with a cab stuck on the back. Now they are a far cry from that. The same with the Land Cruiser. Its just a bog suburban grocery getter…

I would just leave it like that. People would ask and I’d just tell them that its an even more exotic brand than Porsche.

diarrhea. In outer space.

Clearly I don’t watch a lot of TV: I don’t know who at least half of these celebrities are.

The Dork.

Actually I can agree with you. I actually own a 2011 Chevy Volt I bought used a year ago. Yes- it has a big battery that will go 40 miles or so but it also has a plain-jane 4 banger engine that turns the generator when the battery runs out. That in turn powers the electric motors for the wheels. On any given week I…

Try living in California. The house I bought 4 years ago was 500k, now valued at 800k. 1/3rd of my paycheck goes to taxes.

Pretty unfortunate. Aside from this a few years ago I visited the Arizona a few years ago. Let me just say the museum nearby is amazing and very moving. None of the people in my family who served in WW2 were in the Navy. But I was literally moved to tears while overlooking the Arizona wreck. If you've never been it's…

Except that the i8 and others cars still require gasoline which causes all kinds of global problems, has toxic fumes and is prone to becoming expensive at the drop of a hat. Very futuristic.

As a kid from the 70’s-80’s I distinctly remember 8 track tapes and how happy the player we had would eat them. I despised the things. That said they deserve some appreciation. Prior to that there were not really any ways to listen to your own music in the car. A few weird attempts using record players mounted on…

They'll probably somehow blame it on Obama.

Electric motor versus gas engine....

I kind of have mixed feelings about that one. Looks like what it is: a scooter with a bed stuck on the back. Sort of confusing to look at. That said I’d drive it just for the reaction: WTF is that?

I like weird cars like this. Mainly because I could probably weld one together if driving one on the road in the US were legal.

It looks like a toy. Not sure that’s a good thing. Plus its $135k even though the Model S is actually faster anyway and costs a good 35k less.

Please show us a car that was powered via electric motors and LiIon batteries 100 years ago and you would have a point. Thanks for playing!

I don’t think it escalated, if anything it was a debate, right? Sure- sometimes debates are nasty. But necessary really. We have a real problem in the US where neither “side” wants to talk to the other. Both parties have grown so far apart its like 2 countries in one. Yet they’ve done so because the extreme ends of…

Understand sarcasm. My original response was to pretty ridiculous comment made above.
