Why would you muck up an Italian-styled car with a non-Italian powertrain?

So what if Iran was involved. It’s not our fight. We weren’t attacked. No matter of evidence manipulation is going to get us into yet another mistaken conflict.  

Another needless expense on the consumer, buying it now and paying for repairs later. The old engineering adage of K.I.S.S. applies here--keep it simple stupid. 

Pollution. You’re ignoring the pollution issue. Cars sitting there idling and not going anywhere and are needlessly polluting, gaining nothing for the wasted gas.  That's why start-stop technology exists. 

Only twice a year? You’re going to need three vehicles, just in case, and to stroke the ‘big truck, small penis’ ego thing.

If you mean super cars have become completely out of reach for the common man and are strictly the play toys of the rich, yes, I agree with you. It's still incredible to compare just how far they've come in 30 or 35 years though. 

Holy crap. That is all.

Seriously, counting discreet semiconductors in an electronics assembly? Well don’t forget the main engine management unit. likely has a thousand parts consisting of ICs, caps, indicators and resistors.

If it gets rid of huge, sight-line blocking vehicles, I’m in.

They sold several million in Europe. Quite popular. 

$8.3K (tax included) on a 2015 with 19,120 miles.

There’s a company in Austria that upgrades the batteries to 2019 quality specs (not the unchanging 2012 Samsung batteries presently used) and adds D.C. fast charging capability. There are brokers in the LA area who snatch up all off-lease 500e’s at auction and ship them to Norway, Germany and Austria. Thats how I

It’s a Gen One EV, like the Nissan Leaf, the Chevy Spark and others. We’re now into Gen Two (2.5 for the Tesla 3) EVs. The replacement 500e is 250 miles, like the Chevy Bolt and other newer EVs. 

My 500e has been flawless, and it saves me an honest $150 a month in gas ( I have solar panels). I’m ahead. 

Yes, right here. A 2015 electric 500 and the daughter a gas 500.  

Not an inhabitant of that enclave obviously. A visiting sister-humping degenerate from a red state, and likely a Trump voter.

Cheap gas everyone buys SUVs...gas will rise again.

Zombie apocalypse and cars:  bad tires after a few years, no good batteries and no gas.  

I see two or three a day in my north of LA, in the suburbs, commute.

Same difference.  Really.
