My ‘14 Smart ED battery is $6,500 to replace. My pack is down about 15% from original capacity. Once the pack goes I will part the thing out. 

NIO is pretty much going the route of lease/battery swap. They do this for charging - 5 minutes to swap your dead pack for a fully charged one. 

And you are down with Kyle Rittenhouse walking free, I suspect.

The Most Dangerous Road in America? Not likely. I’ve driven it and it is fine even when you have cycles buzzing you. Put the Tesla on the road to Lick Observatory and see how it manages. Then I’ll possibly be impressed.

I did the Petty Experience in Vegas a number of years ago. Managed 155MHP in the car (was required to pace behind lead car). However, that is about as good as I will ever become behind the wheel.

I’d have stuck it on the end of my peen and asked the chef if I was doing it right.

You just have to look in the right places for used cars. The “B” level “classic” car auctions also feature quite a few late models for sale.

These things seem to be a “thing” with the snowbirds here in SW Florida. I don’t care for them. They look like rolling death traps. And the way the old folks down here drive it is only a matter of time.

Found the Trump acolyte!

Because these highly trained pilots can predict mechanical failures as well.

Does NYC count?

DaVinci Code for the Smart car chase. And the “ferrari” in Beuller was a faked over POS Rustang.

I what is most certainly the worst Bond movie ever.

On a side note, I am surprised more of the lower tier PGA players don’t switch to the European Tour. Better chance to compete, great locations, better food, etc.

It’s FIA, so probably.

The BBB is a sham.

Surprising as Watford isn’t known for having effective strikers.

I counter this with a Ferrari. Built Commie Strong!

Being a poor high school kid in the mid-70's, my brand of choice were the Goodyear Recaps.

Facts? You come here spouting facts?!?
