...the car overall seems to be reasonably rust-free.

I’d been stalking BRZ’s for a while, and towards the end of summer in 2017 I found a used, minty Series.Yellow at, of all places, a Lotus dealership in Buffalo, NY. It only had about 1000 miles on it, and the dealer was only about an hour away from where I lived at the time. The temptation was strong. So I…

Yo, taxi!

I enjoy the feeling of confidence I get after prepping the car for winter. The snow tires are on, the brushes, scrapers, blankets hand shovel, etc. are all stowed in the boot, one last layer of Collinite has ben applied, the Tuxmats are in, and we’re ready to go. Bring it on, winter!

Nah, they’ll just scan it and let you through if the machine tells them to.

I suspect the RFID will be the key to getting it recognized rather than any visible symbols. I’m not too worried.

I have a NY-issued “enhanced driver license.” According to the NY DMV, it is federal Real ID compliant and can be used for air travel. However, it does NOT have to the star icon.

I’m super worried about losing Hochul and Morelle. NYC needs to GOTV like crazy so we can at least keep one of them.

Mine: XC40 Recharge. Looks like an unassuming little Volvo CUV, but it’s comically fast. It’s distinguishable from the ICE and hybrid versions only by its lack of an open front grille (and tailpipes). It makes 402 hp and 486 lb-ft with two electric motors and hits 60 mph in under 4.5 seconds. It’s ridiculous and I…

Ford Pinto.

No, but they’ll probably know how to call Polestar support. And the person they talk to will explain how to use the physical key.

I think there are two different seat options, sport and, uh regular. (Non-sport?) I had a 1st gen X1 with sport seats and they were amazing.

And it doesn’t qualify for any tax credits until next year.

An AWD Tesla. Or just about any AWD EV. There’s nothing like that smooth, flat torque delivery you get with an electric motor on each axle.

Can’t choose between a V and an inline-6? The VR6 has you covered. It was a great solution for cramming overpowered, sweet-sounding engines into cute little hatchbacks.

Ah, the classic Sandy Frink play.

Literally no-one has ever recommended the BZ4X over a Tesla.

Mercedes EQB. A brand-new EV that looks like a 15-year-old ICE SUV.

0. He said it because that’s how he and the other boys he works with always refer to this neighborhood when they talk amongst themselves.
