this problem is pretty much exclusive to early Leafs. As I explained, they didn’t manage heat well and the batteries degrade from that.

Where do these cars go when they’re 4 months old?

We usually back into our garage- it’s a narrow alley, pulling out going forward is safer IMO. Our car has a back-up camera but I use the mirrors to get into the garage - I only use the camera to make sure I’ve backed in far enough to close the door.

My neighborhood already has at least one UPS hybrid delivery van making the rounds. When it’s only on electric it’s eerily quiet. No more just listening and half-assed looking before crossing the street!

I’ll buy it for $500, but you’ll get tons of exposure on social, cuz I’m an influencer!  Plus I promised my kid a car like that for his birthday, so you have to sell it to me.

Chevy Citation, 1980. It was a terribly awful vehicle - my Dad bought one partly because “Car of the Year.”

American Flyers, 1985.

Overlanding, the idea of outfitting your vehicle for some self-sufficiency on super-long off-grid trips,

I have a couple of questions for the Amarok:

Thank you for your nuanced review .

I’m deeply concerned that you don’t know it’s “monstrous.”

“Make sure the background is far enough away”

I was thinking the Jeep driver was lucky *he* wasn’t black.

IMO, for the next water landing, the hypergolic propellant venting should wait until the lookie-loos are close enough to feel the effects. Problem should be solved after that.

Daniel Lopez’s comet pics are composites, meaning the photographer, had he chosen, could’ve removed the satellite trails from the individual frames before compositing and come up with a workable image. Unless, that is, every frame has the exact same satellite trails on it.

Keep on telling yourself that. Your replies say you do care that I think your car is ridiculous.

Maybe “they” don’t, but you obviously took enough time to let me know, so I’ll guess you do care that I think your mall cruiser is ridiculous. That light bar you never use is dumb, too.

Whats wrong with them? They look ridiculous on your pristine “adventure” rig parked in the garage at work, that’s what’s wrong with them.

Just 3d print some knobs for them. Black ABS would blend right in. Lots of parametric knob designs on Thingiverse.

I need a rack for my Yeti cooler. It’s my favorite cooler for 3 hour road trips, because it keeps ice for 7 days.
