Thank you for that slice of reason. I am planning a road trip across the USA in a 50 year old car and I can’t wait to do it. Some of my best stories were break-downs in weird places. People are great if you ask them for help or meet them with an open mind. Sounds like Erik was convinced that everyone he met was just…

A big-time football program eventually becomes the tail that wags the dog. UA-H is better for not having football.

In the peak of summer they form a queue miles long. It’s quite the panty-twisting experience for auto enthusiasts who would like to drive their classic car briskly through a beautiful countryside.

Clicks, clicks, clicks. Tesla articles with polarizing opinions are always good for clicks. So are Uber, Harley-Davidson, “Cars are the Devil”, “Stupid Car Tricks”, and the slow-moving impending doom of Tracy’s rust-bucket projects. I think great adventures like the Incredible Chang Li Quest also move the meter but…

I found the 2020 version quite usable through my Roku except for one thing. You could either view a race live or wait until it was done and then stream a re-run. You could not show up 30 minutes after race start and catch up. Hopefully the new version fixes that oversight.

Get back to me after you’ve been stuck behind one going uphill in the Lake District.

What do I see? A trashy fake convertible top on a sports car.

Conceived and embraced by the same Europeans who think it’s acceptable to pull a caravan behind a 4 cylinder econobox.

The soul of a car is the sum memories and imprints of its owners and passengers. If you replace a few parts at a time you are imprinting on them as you go so there is a continuous soul. If you strip a car to nothing, rebuild or replace everything to a like-new condition, then the car loses its soul. It now has a new…

I see no Russian flag there. Maybe Chinese?

I agree with you. The hedge fund manager getting paid in gains should be at the same rate as the small business owner with his 10 vehicle plumbing repair business on an LLC.

So much of this makes no sense. If Honda has cracked this nut, why aren’t they selling the shit out of it? 100 units, say what? Second, I contend that this is exactly what a Tesla can do right now (in their live Beta). You can pick a destination and it will take your there but you have to be ready to intervene. Many…

We are in the middle of an EV investment bubble similar to dot com and railroad stocks of the past. Everyone believes EVs are the future but there will be more losers than winners. Tesla is a success but their shares are a meme stock pushed up by all the stans and speculators that just keep buying. Wall Street is…

I hear OJ is taking it private.

No argument from me. Trumps major transgressions are so egregious that things like graft and conflicts of interest are hardly mentioned.

Royal Enfield is the true Indian.

Well you could start with the Clinton’s foundation and quickly head over to Hunter Biden and the Pelosis. But hey, none of those were ever proven. Well, apparently neither was Elaine Chao but here’s an article about it.

I contend that it is rare to have a capable charger at one’s destination and that you cherry-picked that anecdote.

But EVs are easy. Mainstream automakers can crank out EVs and put Tesla out of business any time they decide to. I’m not a Tesla-stan but you have to acknowledge that making electric vehicles with great range, charge speed, updatability, and ease of use is a real Tesla advantage right now. But about those panel gaps...
