With the average age of a car being around 10 yrs old, even if EV’s were superior to ICE in every way, we would still expect 10-30 years for most of the public to convert. Without forcing people, turnover takes time.

Counterpoint - if you’re renting for work, definitely prepay for the tank. I’m already busy with work travel, the last thing I need is to find a gas station when I’m ready to leave.

What’s the automotive equivalent of a meth addiction? This.

Drove one of these. Super Duty used to mean it.

Hard to make an ME look like an FE car. 

Not trolling here, I’m serious. What would you do with the Corvette? I’m not a Corvette loyalist, in fact I’ve never owned one., but this is the first one in a loooong time I am actually considering buying. The problem with that is I’m 65.....which makes your point. So what would it take to make you want to buy one?…

Do they want me to run over that kid in the middle of the road, because I had to type that extra k.

You’re doing it wrong. Just don’t respond if they ask if you are upset with them, so they think you’re at mad at them.

I’ve noticed this a lot when talking to the wife.

‘K’ is easier to type when driving though.

Have you considered using comic sans in purple on a pink background with pictures of kittens embedded in it? That is always best for the Staff Update, "John no longer works here. Direct all questions to the regional supervisor."

So order the meal when the appetizers arrive then.

Those “certain people” are fucking idiots and should learn to stop whining. That includes you, you get the fuck out of here as well.

and people wonder why we introverts hate everyone. you all keep inventing these stupid rules and making interacting with anyone a complete chore. if somebody thinks im rude or dismissive by typing “ok” to their text and gets offended, they deserve it and they did it to themselves. as far as im concerned they are doing…

Or you can just type “Ok”.

Like an adult.

It goes the other way in professional environments. If you use too many exclamation marks, and are too wordy, you’ll be immediately identified as a simpering, unconfident dicksneeze. I can’t stand getting emails with the subject being: ‘Hey! Can we get together to discuss next steps? Thank you!!! :D’

The same people that turn read receipts on and demand an acknowledgment to every e-mail they send.

Hmmm. I can hit the emoticon button, search through about 100 choices for the thumbs up, then select it.

It’s a short easy way to say, I read and acknowledge your text. What nut thinks would see OK or K and think “how rude”?

Screw this.  If k or ok does the job that is what I am using.  If you can’t handle it.....too bad.
