I train retail salespeople. If you can’t up sell and close, I CANNOT HAVE YOU ON MY SALES FLOOR.

More miles than a person can drive in a day (say 1,000) and thte ability to recharge the car ANYWHERE, even a standard 15 Amp 120 Volt outlet, in under an hour, preferably 5 minutes. If that ever becomes possible, gas engines are done.

“natural” is the one that slays me the most, because sooo many people sling that word around like it’s the holy grail of everything, but they don’t realize that chemicals ARE natural, or that some natural things can still kill us. Not everything that is “natural” is good, and not every chemical on the planet is bad.

Organic used to mean something had carbon in it

My personal favorite is, “eat food, not edible, food-like, substances.”

Organic has an extremely specific, multifaceted, government-regulated meaning. You’re right about the other two, though.

It *was* 2:00am. Black and blue look pretty much the same at night.

since the film was literally US military propaganda.

Counterpoint:

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

Right, but your premise is fundamentally flawed. You assume the car is oscillating temperature and people are uncomfortable and you have to change the heat RIGHT NOW.

Good points although overstated. As I already mentioned NG has an existing delivery infrastructure including home delivery. IMO delivering NG to filling stations need not be any more complicated than what we have now.

I saw a well maintained one over the weekend and was amazed at how fresh it still looks. One of the cleanest designs out of GM.

In this case, I’d take my fifty g’s and buy a 996 Turbo or an early 997. Ferraris of this decade say “look at me, I want to be somebody” and 911s in my neighborhood blend in with the backdrop. I want to drive - not be stared at.

Somewhere, out there there is another, younger version of Doug and Roberta with a recently purchased, brand spankin’ new manual Chevy SS resting on blocks in THEIR heated garage.

The secret’s out: asking prices have doubled and tripled in the past few years

I may or may not have embarrassed one on 280S in California, between SF and San Jose at about 2:00am.

Diamonds just don’t crush/fracture into the right shapes to do the sort of damage you describe. It just forms inert grit.
