Just like the recent Covid deaths of how many outspoken right wing talk show hosts?

Certainly a revelation in an era of boring corporate cookie cutter mediocrity.  Yes, looking at American cars of the era as well.

The second generation fiat 500e could be sold on North American soil quite quickly if needed. 

Good.  Less suvs and trucks. 

Same thing. Oil is sold on a global market. Our buying/using it here keeps the price up in middle eastern oil countries that support terrorism.  *Any* loss of oil production is a plus.

Tax credits for EVs should also be proportional to their efficiency and the social toll they take around them. Lighter weight and smaller EVs, which use less resources from cradle to grave, deserve more than an overweight, resource intensive pig. 

Nothing wrong with unions trying to make life better for working Americans. 

Expanding insulation foam.  Instant dead engine from lack of exhalation. 

The lesson?  Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight. Trucks and suvs are useless in canyons. 

County plates?  Some parts of the country have strange traditions. 

Overcompensation for a physical shortcoming or doing their best to channel ‘manly’ vibes when they’re questioning their own sexuality--or both?

Nope.

Punitive measures opposite of the direction you want to move in work the best. 

What is the significance of ‘and Robert’s your mother’s brother.’ that you buried in your text?

Fiat owned Lancia before Alfa.

Alfa, not Alpha.  Damn clueless backcountry rednecks.  

While ahead of other makes on paper in the technical arena, my old car stopped being ‘ahead’ about 10 years after, when other cars got standard DOHC engines, five speeds and four wheel disk brakes.  It’s just a vintage sports car now.  I enjoy it as such. 

Not correct. There were many small cars on big tracks that worked quite well and made quite the historical n ar for themselves. Various Abarth models took on the moniker of ‘giant killers’, for the damage they unleashed upon much higher horsepower cars.  David vs Goliath indeed.

Apparently.  

A car that originally left the factory as an ICE equipped car isn’t going to have the necessary real estate to hold batteries, let alone in the proper place for half decent handling. Look at factory EV ‘conversions’ like the MINI or the 500e. Not a lot of room to begin with, so really small battery packs. Perhaps…
