You forgot to mention the Prius with the Apple logo in the back glass. I am starting to wonder if that is a factory option.

I for one am not for more taxes, but I was trying to say that the "gas guzzler tax", as do all taxes, acts as a market force to encourage people to choose the "better" option.

There is a thing called a gas guzzler tax that is imposed on cars that fail to meet certain fuel economy requirements. I paid it on the last car I purchased. People that buy cars that consume more fuel must then purchase said fuel. More powerful motors are also typically reserved for higher trim levels on cars (Buy…

I have never heard of needing to shift to 1st or wait 2 seconds before shifting into Reverse. I did just pull out my car’s manual, and this is all it has for Reverse. I have never waited and have never had Reverse grind on me.

The i3 has an optional ICE. The base model is electric only.

The game was launched in North America on 8/9.
