Why did you choose the S over the E? I’d love either but the thought of Airmatic vs. ABC has me leaning towards E.

Electricity is a fuel, so saying “not spending any fuel” isn’t a fair statement. Granted, in certain parts of the country it’s exponentially cheaper to run a Tesla than basically anything gas-powered, but let’s speak fairly.

“No European manufacturer can match the power and durability that Caterpillar has been building into their diesel power plants for more than 60 years now.”
Wärtsilä would like a word...

Seems like no one’s mentioned Fifth Gear yet. Sure, it seems to have a 23-season long identity crisis but it’s still good car TV.

If Gene ‘Unt came to buy my car I’d probably throw him the keys and the title out of fear.

Look up the early Wheeler Dealers episode with the Suzuki SJ410. You’ll enjoy it.

I don’t know about you but I had no idea that so many classic car owners hung out in the parking lot of Subway. Or that Subway sandwiches were so delicious!

I dislike Rawlings but will watch Fast ‘n Loud. Garage squad is borderline barely watchable. What was that stupid one that only did Mopars? That show was the worst.

There’s a back-story with Edd and sofas which serves to discredit all these people who’re calling him “boring.”

... In the rear-view mirror.

reddit.com/r/personalfinance is a great place to start learning about this stuff.

Really interesting wording there... “Free LONG-DISTANCE Travel on the SuperCharger Network.” Apparently they’re trying to address the issue of constant local charging.

Appropriate license plate, considering the car...

There are multiple Volts around with >100k miles and minimal, if any range degradation. There’s at least one with >250k miles, of which ~85k were pure electric, which is still on the original battery and has exhibited barely any range loss.

GM was extremely cautious with battery management in their design of the Volt…

I love this argument against sunroofs. Take a poll of 100 nearby sunroof-equipped cars. Now tell me what percentage of owners have EVER worn a helmet in the car, or give the slightest crap about a small amount of added weight in the roof.

Good grief, man. Some people LIKE the open-air feeling of a convertible or a sunroof (myself included). It’s not that hard a concept to understand. Different strokes, and all that.

So, demonstrably wrong about the dash and the paint colours. I think you can make a damn strong case against “not-a-hotrod” when the V6 made 280 horsepower and 360 lb-ft in 1993, and against “meh” when the thing could outrun both Corvettes and Ferraris of its day.

Seriously, how do we go about retracting a COTD award?…

I think the logic is that damn near every one of the folks in those examples isn’t actively investing the savings.

Absolutely with you — A fantastic-looking car!

I think that’s a 1600. The 2000 was sweet, it had the SR20DE.
