Salty. The best thing I ever did financially was get rid of my VW sporty sedan for something completely different.

The issue with the Volt, besides the gen 1's compromised styling, is that lack of a middle seat. It probably wasn’t an issue in focus groups, wouldn’t be in a personal/family or even a company car, but everyone was blindsided by ride-hailing and all of a sudden it needed to carry two couples plus the driver.
There was a an EV Chevy pickup that was claimed to have a GM “Connect and Cruise” setup. We’re probably not far off. Electric GT out of California offers a “crate” setup with form function similar to a V8 with a little extra length.
Also important to remember, it’s not just the snow that calls for winter tires— it’s the *temperature*, too. It could be dry as the desert on the ground but when it’s below freezing, those summer tires are just as lousy.
This, there is a guy here in Park City that has a Lamborghini Gallardo with snow tires and a ski rack on the roof/hatch. I saw him driving to the mountain in a healthy storm a couple years back.
Somewhere Patrick George is thinking to himself, “Are you going to stop sending THAT GUY press cars too!!!?”
Let’s get something out of the way up front: Ray Magliozzi hates cars. And not in a…
I like old Buick. Modern Buicks all feel like cheap crap though, they can die.
Recently, a kind reader possibly seeking to avoid the grim self-made prison of a hoarder, sent me about a hundred or…
Wow, I also put Corvette wheels on my mystic teal 98 firebird! Small world.
No matter what happens tonight with the C8 Corvette reveal, the 1990 CERV III concept will always be first in my heart. That will never change.
used school buses are the real value, sealed bid public auction usually. we picked this up for less then $6,000. 2006 with less then 80k miles on it with a Cat diesel. was a 74 passenger bus but we took the back 8 rows out for bike racks.
I tried to talk the wife into bidding on a local bloodmobile that sold for a few hundred dollars at auction here recently. Apparently it’s “creepy” and we can’t build our own RV because we have “a toddler” and “jobs” and “a bunch of other projects with no recent progress.”
Ok—(cracking knuckle here). Bus owner here. I know you already moved on from the bus ownership idea. But it is do-able. You gotta go into it informed. The best site is www.skoolie.net. Tons of great info-everyone is hands on people that can build their own stuff. And they happily share advice.
The answer is hydrogen fuel cell. Compressed hydrogen fills up like a propane tank. Hydrogen plus o2 from the air generates electricity.outflow is h2o. Range0400 some miles. Fill up 5 min. Gas station uses low cost overnight electric to produce hydrogen from water.
I can 100% understand where he is coming from. For several years, I worked security at Richmond and usually manned the main road that cuts through the infield. At about 6:00 PM on cup race night, shit got crazy. The pre-race pit passes (that anyone with $90 in their pocket could buy) wouldn’t expire for another…
It’s a simple habit to get in to. I’ve had EVs for six years now, never forgot to plug it in.
Well, as they say, “if you keep turning left, sooner or later you’ll find yourself going right.”
PIN numbers and NASCARs for everybody!
This is the best reply possible. FFS, the video is about the cars, not your hair.
