Was it Lotus Notes, or Lotus 1-2-3?  

My wife’s favorite thing about her 1989 Dodge Raider was the inclinometer. She was very disappointed our Jeep that replaced it didn’t have one.

It was handy to have when you drove around at 10 mph and felt like “Holy hell, this thing is going to flip over!”

Yes - more please. This is the good stuff.

My wife loved her GMC Acadia. The current Acadia is much smaller so we got her a Honda Pilot - and doesn’t particularly like it. Too many nanny controls.  She wished we’d gotten a Traverse because it has more room than any other SUV / crossover.

WHY ARE YOU YELLING?

Funny the talk about how millennials don’t buy Harleys.  My 24 year old nephew just traded his Suzuki for a Harley.  All his friends have Harleys too.  

Possibly because of power company limitations? When my system was designed (NY state) we had an upper limit of it’s capacity. To be approved by the utility we had to show our power consumption for the prior year. The PV system output could not exceed our average use over a year. In other words, the utility wants…

I’ll agree the 3 looks better and has more cargo room by far. I do like the traditional setup on the S, but the 3's setup really didn’t bother me at all. The dash of the S is pretty high and I felt like it blocked my view. I’d argue the 3 has a better view and therefore is better for a driver. But then we have race…

Was it? OK. I read it as comparing against both.

That said, SUV is not the same as Sedan. One typically doesn’t seek max performance from an SUV.

It really makes you wonder why you wouldn’t just get the S.

MSF class is an excellent idea. Much better than getting a friend or relative to teach you.

Got mine as soon as I was legally allowed, at 17. Permit at 16 1/2. I had been driving various vehicles since about 11 on the family property, plus my dad let me steer and shift his car from a younger age. The freedom of a full license to go where ever I wanted (in my semi-rural area) and explore was incredibly…

Agreed. I’ve tried the DD Beyond sausage twice now, and it’s just not very tasty. It’s not offensive but it’s not GOOD either. The mouth feel was weirdly of large blobby grains. I guess if you don’t want to eat pork it’s OK?

In comparison I tried a Burger King Impossible Whopper last night. With the caveat that I…

This is true about boats, but to a lesser degree that what Deere is doing. A whole lot of boat parts and service can be done without the OEM computer software. But complex diagnostics requires a certified technician with the diagnostic software. I think a difference is that its easier to get Mercury certified, even…

I like the headlamps / tail lamps on the current Infiniti’s - they have a “can’t look away” quality for me. The rest of the package? Very meh.

This story reminded me that I had a friend in high school with a Honda CRV. I always thought it was a nice little quirky car.

For some reason he got rid of it for a Chrysler Sundance. I wanted to punch him in the face for that decision. The Sundance was a real shitbox that I hated to be in. Especially since the front…

Weird. Even my local electric company is encouraging customers to switch to LED bulbs. And they’re in the business of, you know, selling electricity.

Brilliant.  

My parents had me drive an Iszuzu Trooper most of the time. I found out later it was be it was slow, very upright, and had a manual transmission. Thus, let likely i would get into trouble.

They were right. The only self-inflicted crash was in high school in a much-faster 87 Taurus LX.

If they changed it, great! I don’t know what that one is, but I sat in a Model S in a showroom 45 days ago. There were definitely no door pockets. The sales guy and I talked about it.

Here’s a photo from the Tesla website, which is consistent with what I saw in person.
