And the wakes erode the shoreline.

This is what 3x300hp can do

This made the competition waterski boats much more affordable. 

My kid was on a waterski team for years and wow as a poor family we only had some cheap ski boat (like $3K) that I keep running for a few summers. Being on a team let her waterski without much expense. Go to a water ski event and you will see the most white upper middle class crowd this side of a polo field. 

Having a memory that goes back into the 1970s may be a curse.

I remember theses and thinking they were not enough of a suv to be an suv. They were, in design, a view into the future of suvs and crossovers.

That age is of no surprise. One can finally justify it at that age.

‘A new seeming fun sporty reliable used car for under $30K, NO unicorns.’

I took this photo at the Reno Automotive museum a few years ago. 

Tungsten is harder than platinum. And these trucks are all about what is harder.

Good point, I kind of think affordable evs to speed adoption does not feel like the goal.

YES, an angular low roof 2 door hatchback EV at a decent price would be great.

I loved my 82 Scirocco. This would be one EV I would want very wedge shaped and angular and not a effing crossover. 

Some Deloreans have rust proofing

love it. like Halloween smoke machines.  

“If we thought so little about the parts of this car you can see, imagine how little we thought about the parts you cannot see.”

So crap piling up on your expensive toy that is hard to remove and will keep happening is somehow SO much better than rust. OK still not a good thing.  

If we would just agree to upgrade the grid and have quick charging as ubiquitous as gasoline I would say anything could be EV. I am an overlander and take by jeep into to backcountry and if I could duplicate that with an EV I am fine with an EV. If we could get the fragile petromasculitiy to calm down and find a way…
