I live in California in an older 60's neighborhood. When we first bought the house I thought it was weird that nobody had a lawn. Instead the lawns were covered with rocks, sand and various cactus and other desert type plants. There is one, maybe two lawns with actual grass but even though the owners water the shit…

The amount of “hazing” here is insane and more or less outright physical abuse. Sure- sometimes workplaces that are male dominated will have some sort of ritual of initiation but there’s a difference between that and the awful things this young man endured. When I was younger I worked at a lumber yard. The “hazing” we…

Oh- and BTW, VW, Mercedes and BMW all have massive factories in the US. Ironically the largest BMW factory is in South Carolina and we actually export most of those X5's and whatever back to the EU and elsewhere.

Trump is literally a walking turd that happens to also say things from time to time.

ha ha ha!!!

I’m sorta like: Who fucking cares? It looks like literally every other Porsche. I could think of at least 1.45 million other things money could be better spent.

It looks like a Jaguar.

Well the good thing too is that used EVs are DIRT cheap. Bought mine used for 17k. Now they’re more like 8k. I’m waiting for the 2nd gen Volts to get “ used” enough to get cheap. I too charge at work and so its a really cheap form of transportation.

I was being a smartass earlier. Sorry. But anyway, I owned nothing but Toyotas for the first 20+ years of driving. Its not like Toyota is the benchmark of quality when it comes to their interiors but comparitively speaking the Volt I now own has a much higher overall fit and finish than the Prius it replaced. 100,000…

Uh... how about no...

They make shittier plastic interiors in VWs... or whatever that crappy red car you have pictured in your avatar...

As far as I’m concerned Trump is on his way to getting impeached. I never took his presidency seriously and have had no respect for him or his admin. At this point the best thing for the country will be for his chosen party, the GOP to get this over with. Impeach and install Pence- whom might be even worse since he’s…

I was a 100% Toyota guy before buying a used Volt. I’ve been really impressed with the car and after 100,000 miles its been reliable and barely shows any wear. I’ll probably trade it in on a used 2nd gen Volt next year after the leases on those starts to end and the lots get filled with them.

I know and its sort of an unspoken truth. The V6 Camry is an undisguised sleeper.

Oh god. I ate shit all the time as a kid. I grew up in the rural south which meant that everything was battered and fried in lard. We would go to my grandmother’s house once a week and eat fried chicken, fried fish, various mayonnaise-infused casseroles and then for desert giant bowls of ice cream.

The Bolt is actually selling really well these days after a somewhat slow start. If I were to buy a full on EV I’d probably go with the Bolt mainly because getting parts or service is going to be a hell of a lot easier. But of course the name “Chevy” has baggage attached and a lot of people still think theymake Chevy…

5.6 seconds isn’t really anything to sneeze at. The V6 Honda Accord sport has a 0-60 time of 6.5 seconds for example.

I suppose its people such as yourself to thank each time I need to work on my vehicles. Whether its my Tacoma or Chevy Volt or even my brother’s old Avalon its clear from my experiences doing things like removing bumper shells, fixing interior bits and pieces, disconnecting wiring or even changing the oil that the…

I’m not sure. I drove on it maybe 8 years ago. Actually my wife and I are thinking of going up that way this weekend. I remember seeing some sort of vehicle carcass the last time we drove it though...

Oh- and cows too. One time we were driving along through there and lo and behold a whole herd of dairy cows were crossing the road.
