I’ve been following Bargain Racement rabidly.  Was glad to see Richard take the checkered flag after the <ahem> rule boundary exploration work that Nik and Richard did on the car...

Lots of good suggestions. In terms of road trip / lots of miles to plow through, I’m going to suggest King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard Nonagon Infinity - the infinite loop means ‘set it and forget it’ music for the duration of the drive.

They are most excellent.

Yeah.  My first thought, too.  Social distancing, people!

Yup. That’s what we did when we built a garage. Had the electrician put in a 50A circuit and a NEMA 14-50 plug. One pigtail later, and we have a Blink charger in the garage.

4-cylinder turbos - even those that make 420bhp - just leave me a bit cold.

I mean, maybe someone *could* both steal your OBD data *and* sexually assault you in an empty parking garage. Are these things connected? Maybe, maybe not. But they could both happen. And then insert a “We’re just asking questions here.”
