Bah, forgot. Thunderstorms today, so drove. Rode 3 days this week and WFH 1 day, so it’s all good.

Most people who bicycle, especially outside the US, are not hobbyists.  They’re people getting groceries, going to work, or headed to a social function.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say a 1967 Chevrolet C-10 2wd longbox with a full bed cap. Preferably with a 250 cu.in inline 6, a three-on-the-tree, and a hand choke.

Yup, I have a ‘24 Limited and it accelerates just fine. Does it have the acceleration of my old E90 335i? No, but it does everything so well that I’m fine with it.

Same for the Outback, I’m assuming that’s for the 2.4 and not the 2.5 as that is closer to 6 seconds.

Reality Of Owning The Hottest Tesla

What strikes me is the lack of repairability. You have a minor bump enough to even fractionally damage one of those so called giga-castings and the vehicle will be totaled.

Watched Hoovies Garage, and I’m a little frightened by how easy some of those tabs broke. I can’t say this vehicle was well designed, more of here is a shell, just fit everything in there...

And yet, people still buy these fugly vehicles. 

I like this one the best.

He says he’s a doctor but I don’t see any markings, white coat or stethoscope so I think it’s only fair for someone to pull a gun on him, force him to the ground, make him show his medical board credentials and his med school degree for good measure because everyone knows what’s going on in the US with people…

“Which side is the appendix again?”

Today I learned that there is another line to the “shut up/throw up” rhyme.

Their palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There’s vomit in the aisle already, mom’s spaghetti
They’re nervous, only 6 lavatories and none are ready

Do your knees hurt from being on them in front of elon all the time? or does he give you a break and lay down so you can suck it from the side? 

I married into a Right wing North Dakotan Norwegian Lutheran family full of electrical engineers. Pity me.

Agreed.  Those weird scoops in front of the rear quarter windows and the Pep Boys rear spoiler don’t help.  I get that they’re functional but seems like there could have been a better way to integrate brake cooling (or whatever) and rear downforce in a more cohesive way. 

You nailed it. If we’ve had a particularly snowy/road salty winter I definitely pay extra at the car wash to have the undercarriage wash if I can’t get a hose under the car.
