The biggest market for these cars is in the Middle East and they aren’t going anywhere for the time being.

I have a Switch Lite, and got the (famously broken anyway) GTA Trilogy for it, because playing San Andreas on a handheld has been one of my video game dreams for decades. And it was awesome! Except... I played the games in reverse order -- San Andreas, then Vice City, then GTA III -- and very early on in GTA III I had…

Conversion vans. Huge trend that dominated the 90's the way crossovers dominate the 2020's, and they completely and totally disappeared (although I suppose the “van life” trend is something of a revival). 

A friend of mine once crashed at 70 mph into a stopped semi and only survived due to modern crash protections; he too had woken up at 5 a.m. to drive to work. The one time I drove nonstop from Miami to Brooklyn, by the time I got to NJ I was too tired to be safe on the road but felt like I had to keep going because I…

I think the future for Chrysler the brand is as a near-luxury EV manufacturer, if it has a future at all.

I’m worried that the EV revolution is going to make convertibles entirely a thing of the past. As far as I can tell, the only EV convertibles ever offered in the US market were the original Tesla Roadster; the Smart EQ ForTwo Cabriolet (good luck finding one of those in the US, I think total sales were less than 1,000…

They had the Aspen and it wasn’t very succesful. 

I mean, with COVID this will be my third straight Zoom Thanksgiving. And to be honest I enjoy it way more than in-person Thanksgiving.

Most modern sports cars have brakes too big to allow 17" wheels. Even 18" is pushing it on a lot of applications.

It gets extremely complicated under the US tax code, but there’s a tax benefit for business owners to lease vehicles over 6,000 pounds gvw. I know somebody who -- I will not recommend this because I think it’s of questionable legality -- has a side business that makes him about $5,000 / year, and writes off all of his…

That’s the price at charging stations; home electricity is less, but not really feasible for me.

I would never buy a Tesla; Elon Musk is one of the worst people in the world, and I could not imagine supporting him by buying one of his cars. Probably a Mustang Mach E will be my next car; there are plenty of people who’ve been driving Fox Body Mustangs around since they were new.

My job is in lower Manhattan; when I lived 6 miles away in Brooklyn it took an hour each way to get there. Now I’m 50 miles away in the suburbs and it takes about 2 hours each way. Thankfully I’m only in the office 2 or 3 days a week so it’s not that big a deal.

I had a Pacifica as a rental a few years ago and loved it. Wanted to get one but my wife absolutely refused. 

Panel, 90-ish feet of running high-voltage line including through one floor, two ceilings, one interior wall, and one exterior wall, but the big expense is the new cabling for the trunk line to the house from the overhead street power line. My house has 60 amp service; upgrading the trunk line requires permitting from…

I mean, my commute is 50 miles each way. But I’m thinking bigger-picture. I’m 41 years old; the next car I buy is going to be the car I drive until I die. 30 years from now you’re not going to be able to buy gasoline. I’m not going to buy into a dying technology with an expiration date.

I’m 41 years old; the next car I buy is going to be the car I drive until I die. 30 years from now you won’t be able to buy gasoline. I’m not buying in to technology with an expiration date.

My box is 60 amps for the whole house combined, so... I don’t know that that would be a good idea. House was built in 1960, and with gas heat/stove/clothes drier they just didn’t anticipate huge electricity loads in the future.

The fact that the driver kept their foot on the gas even after they had crashed into a pole makes it sound like a medical issue to me

The total run of cable required from my box to where the charger would go just outside of my garage is approximately 100 feet, give or take. From the basement at one side of my house, drilled up through the floor and up through the closet in my bedroom, across the attic, through the wall from the house attic into the…
