You seriously couldn’t handle stretching your legs for half an hour after 300 miles of driving? Apparently robot driven cars have arrived.

Or a Firebird built on a Monday.

Give it a few years, heck chevy has an electric car with 240 mile range. One good gas spike and you will see a dent in the market.

That would immediately replace like half the cars in my neighborhood.

Needs a trim piece around the screen I think.

I am currently entering month 98 on my $10000 out the door Sienna. My daughter is demanding a replacement.

But that would only be after making higher payments on the existing car for x months. The OP is happy managing his transportation costs through monthly payments.

The proceeds of which would go to another vehicle. Unless they decide to go car free as a family.

And no regular maintenance for her to ignore!

That’s pretty optimistic.

And when they release a video of the drivers wearing crop tops and dancing in slo-mo you will have a point. Equating people finding drivers attractive in the course of their jobs to having dancing girls at the track is just silly.

This is a great point that I tell my daughter constantly. You probably won’t have the classic middle class American lifestyle as a creator with a big house and new car and all the latest tech, but you can be comfortable if you work hard and have the chops.

Buy one with 199,999 miles on the odo? Rimshot.

You really don’t understand the core concept of taxation. Thirty years without understanding why you are paying taxes, that is sad.

Lotta extra space when you take that pesky engine out.

Another 70's era watcher here. Luckily my dad was a Petty fan so we got to celebrate a bunch.

Actually watching the first race of this season (hong Kong) right now and the swaps are down to around 45 seconds.

I would guess that as the cars get better, the gimmicks will fade. They know the cars aren’t quite there yet (though this one looks like it might a gamechanger on that front) so they do the goofy stuff to compensate.

I have watched all of one race, but I will say that the slowest car swap was like 70 seconds. I have to think it would be a tough engineering challenge to safely swap a big battery out in less time than that.
