Weird to see my hometown on the list, haven’t been there in ages!

I knew they put lights in the spiral, but didn’t know about the facelift.

Does anyone have a wallpaper size version of the lead image?

The CR-Z was a flop because Honda screwed up their naming convention.

You see, you had the original Honda Insight. A 2-seater hybrid, designed around the idea of an economical commuter. You could have it with a manual transmission as well!

Holy shit, how have I never experienced Wizard People, Dear Reader before? This is excellent!

In return, I give you this:

That’s the view from my front porch. It’s pretty nice. Winter storms can suck though — last winter was a shitty winter, and we still woke up a few days to waist-deep snow. Luckily we’ve got well water and a septic system, so as long as we’ve got power we’re good. Our only source of heat is a wood burning stove, so…

Yeah but I hear it has the heaviest payload in its class.

2nd gen, TRD Pro, dual cab, short bed, 6 speed manual?

I’m getting dangerously close to selling my FR-S and getting a truck. I don't know why.

could have been both makes. I distinctly remember hearing the Kia Rio adverts on the radio (could've been just our local dealer though). But our Kia and Daewoo dealer were one in the same (incredible, I know!).

Generally good, except for vehicles with Mexican plates, snowbirds, and transplants who don't know what they're doing and bring their local driving with them.

I was amazed, even in downtown SLC people were paying attention, weren't waiting for gaps a mile long to turn / merge, but would still give you room and wave you over the minute you signaled!

I LOVED how fast Utah drivers drive. Speed limit is 80? 95 sounds good.

Don’t remind me —moving back on Wednesday.

Well I've driven twice from Phoenix to Flagstaff and back. Except for slow tourists around all the national parks, I had nothing but great drivers. Even in SLC they weren't bad. Much better than Phoenix.

Transplants?

Oddly enough, every time I’ve visited Utah I’ve enjoyed the drivers there. They drive quick, yield to faster traffic, don't hesitate, but are still nice.

Well the record they beat was done without a support vehicle, so it can still be done. The support vehicle just allowed them to carry water, snacks, and other drivers as well. You could easily just load up 3 friends in a Model S, with some snacks and drinks, and drive it across the country.

Really? I like VW interiors. They’re subdued, with good fit and finish, and good ergonomics.

If you read, the Suburban averaged 17.8mpg for the whole trip — a bit better than 15.

And, they used it for its space. Hauling gear, people, water, snacks. The Suburban has a big enough tank and a long enough range that it wouldn’t hold up the Tesla anywhere.

I get the irony, but the point of these records is the…

The last bit of battery takes longer to charge. It’ll do half the battery in 20 minutes, and up to around 170 miles of charge in 30 minutes. It’ll reach 80% in 40 minutes, but takes 75 minutes to reach 100%.

80% is typically enough to reach the next charging station. If they charged to full each time, it would have…
