There’s a fix - it’s a set of airflow disruptors you attach to the side mirrors - vortex generators, if I remember correctly.  Works apparently perfectly.  FWIW, of course.  

So feed it a tune.  They’re $300 and get you right to that level.  

And I’d assume it’s all the “living with a car” vs “this is electric future as described by Musk”.  Ford makes car choices, Tesla makes electric choices, news at 11.  

Find some friends and play in high-sec space.  You can have a blast there and learn the ropes - all this happens in low-sec/null-sec space (or did, back when I played) - you can choose to stay entirely out of that area, and you’re 98% safe while you do.  Learning the ropes, mind you, will take a year or so.  

Perception is a bitch, but it’s reality.  Certainly plays into my viewpoint on them.  

Why is this a slideshow?  

Age.  I’ve replaced more than a few belts / accessories due to age, if a car sits a lot, vs miles.  Hell, my 2013 ZL1 just crossed 10k miles this year.  Gonna be some age replacements soon.  

That’s more “orbital insertion vehicle” than “motorcycley”, in my humble opinion.  

Done that. Redid the front suspension on a firebird, missed a washer. Blew both shock tower mounts in 1/4 mile of light driving. Didn’t have time to fix it again, so I took it in - said “look, I fucked this up. Here’s the washer I missed. I’ll buy the new mounts and pay the labor, will you fix it?” They laughed, but…

That’s also a factor.  No bullshit, no argument, just “here’s a solid deal - we good?” and move the hell on.  

They’re surprisingly good, because I think they’re worried that if they act poorly (I’m in CO), people will buy a CR-V or RAV4 instead. Cars like those move so fast, they oddly enough do a “we treat them right, they’ll buy a car NOW, and we can move onto the next sale immediately” rather than the “bite me, someone…

Any of them? Because any of them can bring along an extra 5-10 gallons of gas easily enough... or more. Where’s the aux tank of electrons that I can buy today?

Power density - that would take a revolution in battery design.  

Don’t forget the Texan only has an Outback because his 2WD truck was wrecked in the first snow... and the Californian because his Prius/Tesla with summer only tires was wrecked in the second.  So they bought a base Outback thinking that would solve the problem, with crappy all-seasons (there are good ones), and now…

I spent 30 years with the number 159282 rattling around in my head...

Fair use - it’s transformational. 

Up there, no RV chargers except back at town - so I could drive the 20 miles back to town for trickle charging, but that’s not where I’m staying ... or drive the 50 miles+ back to a fast charger for an hour or two :(

The 911 4 series are known for being the daily supercars though.  Getting snow tires for a ZL1 or 350R or GT500...  sometimes fun, if even possible.  And still not ideal - they complain a LOT about the abuse.  The P car just takes it.  

That’s the point - it’s an offroad vehicle, supposedly - no power out there.  But...  you could cut the power and give way more range instead (or at least the option!).  That’s more useful.  Don’t need 1000HP playing around on the trail, but 500 miles+ of range?  Ayup - that’s handy. 

Jerry can.  No power in the middle of the woods - and this is supposed to be an off road vehicle...  But you can always carry a jerry can.
