A big anxiety of EV’s are “road trips” and the concept of freedom that comes with the ability to just get away for a long weekend (or even just a day). Even if 95% of their driving time is just short range commuting, that 5% may be very important to them.

Apologies in advance for the novel length reply...
We’ve been with a “Health Cost Sharing” (HCS) program for over 5 years, have used it a few times, have had no issues at all.

In a nutshell, the HCS members all pay into the HCS. Those funds are used to cover member’s covered medical expenses to “share the costs”.

For…

OK, Cup race is over. I never again want to hear how NASCAR drivers suck at going both left and right. The Cup guys had never raced stock cars on the Daytona Road Course. They had no practice. They had no experience with this particular layout of Daytona.

That’s not a test of efficiency, it’s a test of accuracy relative to EPA testing regime.

It’s that Alibaba is peddling stuff that is a rip-off of some other company’s R&D for less, not that they are ripping you off as a customer. To be honest, though, Ebay and Amazon do the same thing; it’s actually work now to find what I want on Amazon through all the damn sponsored knock-offs, so now the site is no…

2016 Cadillac ELR. They already look like a spaceship on the inside and out. Plus they’re so rare, you’ll rarely see another. They are also a plug-in hybrid that gets great gas mileage and uses commonplace Chevy Volt parts, if it needs repaired. While it looks futuristic, the running gear is pretty common and well…

They are all going to move in this direction.

I hope Cadillac’s ambitions for its electric program are modest. Tesla sold about as many cars globally last year as the Chevy Equinox sold in the U.S. alone.

On the other hand, if you saved up for fifteen years in order to buy a new Corvette with cash, it’s totally understandable to be upset that you are finally ready and you can’t buy one through no fault of your own.

Sony Driveman. You heard it here first.

The epiphany came before any city ordinance, and while I won’t get into details, I’ll just say that it was a deep disappointment. To recover from it, I’m focusing on fortifying my personal life and doing things that bring me genuine joy.

This is why I decided to sell some of my cars—they can get in the way of building…

This went over everyones head

I’ve been saying this for years, other countries will lock own their borders so fast. But when we do it, people lose their minds. It doesn’t matter if the threat is COVID or criminals nor does it matter how low the risk is (the risk is still extremely low that healthy American tourists would “spread” COVID…

So let me get this straight: it’s perfectly fine for migrants from Mexico and Central America to illegally come into the US, and private citizens who try to stop them are outlaws and racists, but when those noble Canadians do the same to illegal Americans, it’s the smart thing for them to do?

I’ve rented more Toyotas than you’ve owned GM’s, and I’m glad I stopped there: I will never, ever, own a Toyota.

Because touch screen!  Because fancy!  Because we don’t know how car interiors or driving work!  Because the laser eyeballs will do it, you don’t need to drive!  Autopilot! 

LOL shitty quality? The tires last longer for which the manufacturer designed them. They were told to design tires that last for X, Y, and Z laps, and they did that. Notice how all the front lefts started to delam at the same time? That speaks to the consistency of the tires since we all know the drivers are very…

Wow. You really don’t understand how racing works do you.

Exactly. FIA wants a high wear tire to increase the number of pit stops. The issue is the teams don’t want to stop and switch, they want to ride that fine edge to 100% wear. Maybe it’s because I grew up watching NASCAR before F1, but I enjoy what pit strategy brings to a race. I don’t see it as manufactured drama…

Unfortunately, that is millions of acres of farmland that would be unproductive.  Farmers (and the lobby) will fight tooth and nail about tilling soil, it’d be virtually impossible to get something like this past a state house in any agricultural state.  And, to be honest, most of these roads see, maybe, dozens of…
