Considering most folks’ opinion of the EV-buying demo, I suppose that’s valid. It will be interesting to see how it does once on sale, though. Maybe we are all underestimating the market for this type of vehicle.

I’m just glad it still has a receiver hitch.

I have to agree and I don’t even own an EV (yet).

This is just more proof that “be a decent human being” isn’t something that can be legislated.

Yeah but it was deep and heavy enough I still had to shovel my driveway. Damn it.

The city implemented a snow emergency, calling hundreds of extra folks in both for snow removal and to help passengers - passing out blankets and such. Some concessions stayed open 24h because of the storm. Popular restaurants probably did run out of food by the end of the night, though.

But then how will you know to curse winter storm JamieLynn as the moron behind you in his crossover on all-seasons careens into you at 45MPH?

You are currently inducing a split core of replies; some saw right through the puns and some were insulated from them. Hopefully they can transform their viewpoint.

Here in colorado, used to be you could take any toll road for the entire time you had temporary tags on your new car (~60 days). The license plate readers weren’t smart enough to find the paper tag hanging in the back window, so they would never bill you for those trips.

we can scan credit-card size transponders for EZ-Pass lanes as cars whizz by at 80 mph while simultaneously taking a pretty damn clear snap shot of every driver as well

When in doubt, nuke and pave.

The conga line is necessary otherwise they’ll leave a big windrow in the middle of the highway. 2-lane roads can be done with a single truck but when you’ve got multiple lanes like this it’s much more effective to run in formation.

Isn’t this essentially a Q3 with more power anyway? I don’t know why they wouldn’t choose to market this as an SQ3 in the US and make a little more money on it.

The problem is that no manufacturer will be successful by chasing the “buy new and keep for 24 years” demo.

We have these as fleet vehicles at work (short bed, single cab Silverados with the V6 and crank windows). Only problem is there’s almost no way to buy this configuration as a consumer. And if you do, be ready to get hosed on price.

As a Denver resident I remember all the shit-talking coming into that SB and then images like this after:

I figure the oil will warm up well before the coolant will.

It wasn’t always like this. A decade ago I got a nice deal on a CPO 3-year old Taco. When I got rid of it I got most of that back, too.

My mom drove an ‘80s Delta 88 with the 350 diesel when I was a kid. Agree on the driving experience. The ~35mpg economy was a nice bonus. Despite the reputation, it was actually quite reliable.

Starred for “noikling”
