I weigh 150 pounds, but if I weighed twice that much, as many Americans seem to these days, I’d probably prefer driving a pickup just for the cabin space.

Now that’s hilarious!

Lalita Chemello’s photos are really excellent!

Snowbirds from Minnesota would disagree, and I enjoyed living there for a couple of years. Went jogging (during lunchtime) pretty much all year around, and for most of the year the desert climate is really beautiful.

I can recall riding north on my motorcycle on I-10 after work during the monsoon and seeing huge cumulonimbus clouds north of Mesa moving westward toward Phoenix that stopped, or slowed significantly, when reaching the edge of the city. However, I’m sure things are worse now, but my morning freeway motorcycle commute,…

Am I a communist for looking forward to seeing both?

I’ve always been surprised that these didn’t sell well. I really enjoyed mine - light, zippy, mid-engined, with a top you could raise or lower with one hand while waiting at a light. I added a nice engine cover rack (made in Belgium) with ski and bicycle mounting hardware, which made it an almost perfect car.  My only…

I wonder what was removed from the bike to make it weigh 366 pounds?

“this single-aisle plane takes its design cues from gliders, with the wings perched on top of the fuselage with struts holding the wings in place.”

“plus the work it needs”

Think of all the money Chevrolet could save on market research if they just asked you. I agree about the size of the bustle, though - reminds me of New Yorker cartoon of a couple sitting on a sofa with a smallish hippo standing in front of them - “When it’s as big as an elephant, we’ll talk.”

“Waiting at a stoplight on the Zero felt like taking a breather, rather than feeling like I’m strapped to a jackhammer.”

If she goes with a VW van, I’d suggest adding knee pads to improve the front-end crash safety. That’s how I felt when I had mine, but I didn’t give safe design much of a thought back then, and anyway I also rode a motorcycle.  The slow speed of the van is a positive feature, though.

“Which is not what anyone ever actually uses it for anymore.”

“WD-40 is about as good a lubricant as water is.”

When I read silly comments like this I wonder - Is this guy demented, and assumes most other drivers on the road are as bad as he is? This notion of “a computer is always better” tends to be latched onto by people who have only a minimal conception of how computers work - maybe Musk should explain “GIGO” to them.

Maybe living with a crazy spouse has aged him prematurely?

Although I’ve always been an anti-Corvette kind of guy, I think the other suggestions ignore the owner’s location. I’m 76, in reasonably good shape, and I have no difficulties getting in or out of the 2019 C7 zo6 I purchased a few months ago - as long as there’s room to open the door all the way - and the carbon-fiber…

You’re really claiming to be stupid enough to believe this?  Did a maintenance truck block your driveway?  Did a traffic engineer run off with your girlfriend?
