I live in the same area and have a bmw I3. Even our mild winters are enough to sap 25% of the battery for daily driving.

Unlicensed? Unregistered? Stolen?
Yeah, it is overkill. I programmed button 1 to the radio station my wife likes and button 2 to activate the range extender (also for the wife). It is handy to be able to essentially automate any menu option.
In my opinion, the first gen BMW i3 did it best. Digital dash with some minor info display you can change. A big center screen for the infotainment stuff but it isn’t a touch screen. It has the dial down by the arm rest, but it also has a few shortcut buttons to jump between features like phone, radio, media, and…
Now THIS is good advice! Finally someone thinking outside the box...errr gas station arrows?
They do but it’s wrong and I refuse to do it. It’s like not returning your cart. It doesn’t hurt anyone but you should certainly feel guilty if someone with a proper side vehicle is waiting on the pump you are using incorrectly.
Exactly! And they should all be shortened so I have priority for fueling on the proper side of my vehicle!!
As someone that daily drives a right side fueling vehicle, you shut your mouth sir!! The lines are always shorter at costco for a right fill vehicle and this does NOT need to be “fixed”. 80% of cars should be driver’s side fill up and gas pump hoses should be exactly one foot too short to cross over. The other…
As someone that drives an 80s K5 blazer, this is right up my alley. Hell, it is almost the same thing at about 70-80% the size and modern. Can I get it in a solid color without the graphics?
Bronco or Blazer? I daily an 80s K5 with the removable rear hard top. This would immediately be top of my list for next vehicle if it was sold like that....but without the graphics.
Only 16k more for less truck in 5 years huh? Well that must be inflation and certainly not price gouging. Somewhere between the manufacturer and the dealerships is a giant un-lubed dildo targeted directly at the customers.
Oh those aluminum front axle caps. Who thought that was a good idea? Lets use a weak metal to make a floating part with high stress at the thinnest point. What could go wrong?
I’m not surprised. I made the mistake of buying an FCA product thinking maybe they had upped their QA since the late 80s. Nope. Didn’t even have an FCA motor in it (cummins with the merc transmission) and it had 8 recalls in the first two years and left me stranded once with a perfectly running engine that refused to…
A bonneville being unreliable? The devil you say. Yeah, cold weather starts. Fighting with the carbs. The heads puking oil over 75mph. Random electrical gremlins. Every now and then she kicks back hard enough to literally break your ankle if you aren’t ready. Steel exhaust mounts just snapping in half... Trying to…
Oh certainly, but I wouldn’t want a goldwing for my daily commuter or for the size in my garage, or for the 4 times a year I go motorcycle camping and the ibex does everything well, just not the best.
I don’t disagree with a lot of the comments but I bought an ADV bike last year and it is the most comfortable highway bike I’ve ever owned. Now I bought the touring spec one which has 80% on road tires, heated seat, heated grips, big heavy luggage on the back.
The irony of the Dodge Dart is it “should” have sold in droves. It wasn’t much more expensive than the Neon at lowest trim and the Neon came out 15+ years earlier. If it had been marketed as a cheap throw away car like the Neon was, and dealers kept a ton of base models in stock, it might have been ok.
1991 GMC Syclone. I bought it in 97 or 98. Just a ridiculous vehicle and I loved it so much. The turbo lag gave other cars hope at stop lights and it would haul furniture...at very unsafe speeds.
Yes, this does highlight how awful the other cars were in that era as well. The 1984 C4 Corvette made 205 horsepower and ran 0-60 in 7 seconds. That’s just slightly slower than a 4th gen Toyota Camry.
The C4 is pretty widely accepted as the worst corvette, in both style and performance...and don’t even get me started on that 4+3 abomination they called a transmission. They are ugly, like to overheat, and don’t really handle either. Go for a late C3 or a C5 for way better looks or way better performance.
