Volvo C30. Quirkily distinctive styling, reliable and efficient enough, and kinda sorta traces its heritage as a 2-door Volvo back to the P1800, the Ghia’s kissing cousin! $20k for one with 20k miles.

Yes. I’m on my third EV, and while I knew some of the different approaches, I think most people kind of assume it’s just Battery+Motor=Done. I really enjoyed this medium dive into the choices and details of making a successful EV.

They are. I trot that verse out every time someone tells me not to take the motorcycle.

Jalop should hold non-binding auctions for the NP/CP cars so we can all see how much we’d be willing to pay for them. Maybe give each user a million bucks a year, and see what our Jalop garages end up being.

Toyota has the market cap of GM, Ford, Honda, Nissan, and Daimler combined.

I would have bought that this year if available. Went full electric with a good deal on a Bolt.

I’ve been stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive

You don’t even have to open an article to get to the inconsistency.

Even my 2008 Entourage was pretty tasteful and very easy to use.

Everybody sing Hey now, Hey now,

I passed on buying a nice used BWM K75 in that same era, for feeling far too car-like. But I appreciate the PacCoast’s weirdness. The Ducati Paso also tried the fully faired thing.

The Eos weighs 500 pounds less, the Mini convertible 1,000 less.

The Wrangler Unlimited is the best large convertible available. A low mileage Volvo C70 also offers very comfortable rear seats.
