So, any “old car re-imagined” ends up being out of proportion. The window pillars are too thick and massive, the nose is the wrong shape, the vehicle is higher, etc. etc. etc. The end result is that most of these homage vehicles look more like parodies.
I have seen a lid on a few public toilets, but it’s certainly not the norm IME.
While ill agree the yellow is a bit of its time. I am not in love with the grey.
“I rather liked the symbols, but also recognize how ridiculously hard it is to memorize all 150ish of them.”
Boo!
Quit fixating on having EV chargers at dealers, who REALLY wants to be trapped at a dealer for an extended amount of time. Focus on putting them at hotels, truck stops, malls/shopping centers, interstate rest stops, you know places they would actually be usefull and helpful. The last thing I want is to be trapped at…
Seems easy enough to have barriers at each end of the bridge that can be quickly put up when they are on the bridge. Then raise the toll to $5000 to exit.
Thats every year. To spend 200 in gas tax you would have to have a car that avg 15mpg and drive it 12000 miles a year. or a 30mpg drive 24000 miles a year. or 25mpg drive 20000 miles. Or a 35mpg car drive 28000.
Except you don’t spend those 8 hours doing any of that. It’s an hour to get to airport parking, 15 minutes to shuttle to the terminal, 20 minutes for security and getting to your gate, 30 minutes for boarding, then you get an hour tops in the air before spending 10 minutes deplaning, 20 minutes to walk through the…

It’s a difficult pill to swallow, but it is a fact that EV owners have been shirking their responsibility to help maintain the public infrastructure they also benefit from by avoiding their share of the maintenance taxes.
Gas taxes have the benefit of being relatively proportional to use of the system, this fee isn’t…
The Passat died when they redesigned it for 2012. Should’ve been called something else.
For anyone wondering, the reason the FWD has such a hit to 0-60 is allegedly related to how electric motors give instant torque. They apparently tuned the motor down to reduce strain on the car’s structure, something that RWD vehicles don’t have to worry as much about because the motor is positioned to the rear of the…
Am I being gaslit? Is this not already what the existing ID3 looks like?
Yeah, if it felt slower than a Golf, it’s a FWD... My AWD is fast.
I’m only putting my money in if it also has a Magic Seat like my Honda Fit, has a BEV powertrain and is available in the colour purple.
I had heard of these before but, I shit you not, the same day you posted this I stumbled across one street parked in Brooklyn, though it was white with leather interior
If you make a phone call on an airplane surrounded by strangers, you’re a bad person.
Having spent roughly a week driving one (thanks, Turo) I can believe the safety stood up to expectations, and it would definitely be in my top 5 EVs to consider, though my gripes were:
