Whenever I see a 928, I think of this:

Tourism as a percentage of GDP:
Aruba: 73.6%
BVI: 57%
US Virgin Islands 55.5%
Bahamas 43.3%
St Lucia: 40.5%
Jamaica: 30.9%

Yeah you’re right, tourism definitely doesn’t provide income/improve the lives of anyone on the islands... Your comments are low quality trolling at this point.

My comments were more related to like going to Mexico (Cancun, Acapulco, etc) where you aren’t hopping in a car and exploring. 

Many of those locals would be far worse off if it wasn’t for the tourism industry. But yes, by all means sit on your high horse. Judging by all of your comments on Jalop, you are just here to troll. Enjoy.

Honestly my wife and I love cruises. We like doing stuff, and staying at the same beach resort for a week there just isn’t much to do, but drink or sit on the beach. With a cruise we have a new city, island, or whatever to explore nearly every day.

“Ford is talking like the anti-Tesla”

“This is to say that Ford is exceedingly lame about EVs, boring.”

To me that fits the definition of complaining, but I’m not pedantic. 

Complaining about Ford not committing to some far off date to be a “All Electric” why? These pledges are the Paris Climate Accord of automater policy. A nonbinding, nothing sandwich corporate virtue signal. BEV very well may be the way, or we may realize in 10 years that we need to go a different route. Either way…

Someone should LS swap this...

Multiple studies have shown that cyclists break traffic laws at similar rates to drivers. Basically everyone is still a human.

As someone who had wagons and SUVs for years, and they all ended up trashed in the back from hauling mountain bikes, snowboards, mulch, stone, wood, an air compressor, wheels/tires, etc. Having a small bed makes a lot of sense.

AWD e90? and what engine.

The discussion is whether a smaller turbo engine is better than a larger displacement naturally aspirated engine in the same vehicle. So bringing up weight, gearing, aero is actually the opposite of a salient point. The only weight difference would be engine weight, and that’s typically not that far off. My 3.5EB…

Neat story, not really applicable, but neat story.

Nobody is even talking about weight, gearing or aero because given the topic they would all be moot.

My F150 3.5 Ecoboost out performs Ford 5.0, Rams 5.7, and Chevy’s V8s, city or highway mileage, all while also being quicker. 

My wife’s A3 is awd, does 0-60 in 5.1 and regularly returns 31-32mpg on the highway, and like 26mpg in mixed driving. No V6 AWD car could touch that.

I think they will in time, the issue right now is that not every BEV is not on the same charging standard. I think Teslas can charge at EVGO with an adapter you buy, but it’s slower. I don’t think anyone but Tesla can charge at their stations, but I could be wrong there

There are multiple apps with multiple maps to…

Umm, you might want to google the Upper Peninsula of Michigan...

The 8 Charges north of Saginaw (7 are in the lower Peninsula) are all in the center/west side of Northern Lower Peninsula. If you are going to Tawas, Alpena, Rogers City, anywhere on that side of the state you are screwed.

Everyone is harping on you, but their responses nearly fall to hyperbole. A person only needs 4-5 times a year where both vehicles will be driving for long durations at the same time (especially depending on destination) to make a BEV not work for a household. You don’t have to have both vehicles being driven 250…

I would have a 1LE V6 over the Turbo. That V6 sounds great with a proper exhaust, (the optional one form Chevy.) 

You would have to take into account the total number of police officers in the US and the told number of black people. Just gross numbers only work if both groups are the same size.

Just using gross numbers like that is the same as people saying “more white people are killed by cops than black people.” Which although…

It’s my understanding that in most states it’s illegal to carry while you are wearing a mask. Unless they passed a temporary order to allow it?
