gotta say.... I really appreciate how hyundai and kia really take opposite design languages and deliver some really cool stuff off the same platform to cover the likes of different consumers... in the past they were so similar, that it was like why bother, but now they cover a pretty broad range. I appreciate them…

the irony of buying something off the shelf, because they want to be “non-conformist”

8000ft over 2 min is 4000ft in 1 min, or 66fps average... acceleration of gravity is roughly 32fps^2....

shitty life pro tip....

Some states it’s actually good to carry auto insurance even you’re not in a car. In cali my auto policy covers “any collision involving an automobile.” As a cyclist, I drive old cars which are super cheap to insure, and I carry the maximum coverage on my uninsured/underinsured coverage…. It’s saved my life twice.

My 98 Volvo has a dash squeak when I hit bumps. I just gotta get under there and tighten a couple bolts probably…. Or maybe just drop some silicon adhesive down there. I don’t know, but also i really don’t care that much.

Inflicted isn’t necessarily the right word. I personally like having infrastructure, and understand that it comes at a cost. In a perfect world, the infrastructure would be free and never need repair, but reality just ain’t that. 

it’s mind blowing, just how quickly people forget.

lol.... no, we’re paying a wonderfully cheap $4.59 a gallon right now... /s but in all seriousness, we’ll probably hop back up to $7/gallon again next time the wind blows or some snow falls or something.

this all sounds great for me. id love to see these things start to go on closeout again... i’d be happy to swoop in on another EV, before gas heads on up to $7 a gallon

Electrical shit..... I would like to eventually EV swap my 37 buick, but electrickery sometimes makes my eyes glaze over.

when you do get the welder, obviously get yourself an auto dimming hood... but more importantly..... get yourself a proper 3m P100 respirator. do not breathe the fumes.

This isnt the first time I’ve heard of this. I had to take our first gen Ioniq ev in, because they had a recall on the original coolant. When I was picking it up, there was a lady there picking up her Ioniq 5, after not having it for something like 2 months, because (according to her paperwork) they needed to replace…

I just saw one the other day. it looks really nice.

a wagonized polestar 2 would reeeeaaallly straddle that line between a wagon and SUV... i wouldnt hate it tho.

it always reminds me of this song.

I’ll be completely honest..... when they came out with the Maverick, I was honestly surprised they put the hybrid option at the $20k pricepoint.... dont get me wrong.... for consumers it was fantastic... but as a business standpoint, I feel like they really shot themselves in the foot...

it’s still worth it. it’ll pay for itself in like 20~25k miles or about 2 years... not to mention how we dont know how much gas is gonna cost in 10 years, but i have a strong feeling it’s gonna be more than it costs today.... plus with increasing gas prices, hybrids imo will be worth more than just straight gas.

I personally know three. both of whom were single at the time, one still is.
