Getting away from Comcast and their data caps is definitely a huge deal. I switched from TWC cable +/- 40 mpbs and didn’t notice a difference in gaming. Ping was pretty much identicle.

Old minivans are cool, just not the Chrysler. You haven’t been able to find any because they have all fallen apart by now. Great idea, poor execution.

Sure but I think they are getting dinged because the infotainment systems suck to use, not that they don’t work.

Don’t get too excited. You’ll quickly realize that nobody else is set up to take advantage of it, not even Google. Bit torrents can be cool though when you hook up with someone else fast and it about maxes out your hard drive.

Having switched from Saabs to Volvos I am on the fence on this one. I loved my Saabs more but my Volvos still run at 500k and 200k miles. It was an expensive effort to get my Saabs to 130k miles.

Except it wasn’t a real Saab. I went from a ‘95 900 Turbo to a ‘05 9-2x Aero, besides the reliability, it wasn’t an improvement.

You can always look for a used one, these type of EVs don’t hold their value very well. You can find cheap Leafs pretty much everywhere. My neighbors just bought a low mile used Golf EV in CA for a decent price. Jealous of your panels, wish I had the space. You planning on getting one of those Tesla home batteries or…

Modern cars are nothing like cars of the past. VW’s are still below average.

The front end is droopy which sucks because I think they are good looking from the side.

The maintenance argument on a VW is moot? That is the only argument to consider when buying a VW. Does the driving experience, which is very good for the most part, outweigh the inevitable and persistent problems that most VW’s suffer from?

I think the ignorance is yours if you choose not to see that she is an awful person. Check out what pretty much anybody on her security detail says about her. I know you won’t believe me but it is true, I have an acquaintance who used to be a secret service agent during the Clinton and W Bush years and after a few…

One of the main reasons Mike Moustakas raised his average 70 points or so last year is because he learned how to hit to the opposite field. He even dropped a few bunts when there was nobody on the left side so it is possible. I am shocked similar hitters haven’t tried it since he was able to with such success.

I wonder how many miles he drives during a typical shift. I would assume that it would be more than the typical range of a Tesla especially in winter.

I’m at 170k miles on a 2010 Prius without a change of brake pads. I am pretty easy on it though.

From what I can tell they need a ton of mods before they’re stolen.

Damn, that really did upset me. That car makes me strangely emotional.

People keep telling me that but I have had nothing but bad experiences with them. From misdiagnosed cylinder head issues on my ‘84 ($3000 extra in repairs and two months in the shop) to a clutch on my ‘95 900 turbo that went out again within 5 miles of me picking it up to a large dent on the hood that took several…

What do you mean?

Weird, I am not a Swedishbricks listmember but I am on Turbobricks occasionally and a Prius is my DD. It wouldn’t surprise me if the guy that did my car is on that list, he is an interesting guy and his projects are very well done. I think he sold my car because he was starting on a 240.

I understand that. I miss my black ‘84 900 turbo sometimes. I don’t miss people not being able to fix it correctly. If you are in KC the only place that ever did a decent job was Aristocrat and they are not cheap.
