honda can sell north of 30k civics in a single month....

If it’s a form factor thing it may be worth considering a bolt ev instead. You can get one with a new battery from the recall and half the miles for less. If you stack all the rebates on top of that, they’re an absolute steal right now. It can charge back around 80 miles overnight on a 120v 12A L1 charger no issue,…

honestly, this would be a primary car.... the car that goes to work and back.... picks up the kids... goes to the store.... runs the errands.... the car that does it all for 1/3rd the cost of a gas car, without ever having to stop for gas or go out of the way to charge..

i picked up a bolt in January, because i have a stupid 105 mile round trip commute till the end of the year and the volvo was eating me alive in gas.

i for one love going to the grocery store because it’s isles and isles and isles of food.... and i fuckin love food.... my wife hates having to get groceries, so it often ends up being me that goes.

My guess with the killing/reviving the bolt had to do with the battery recall and production capacity.

In a few years? The used bolt market is pretty great with all the rebates right now.

drop the ride height 2" and call the maverick the ranchero.

I have a 92 Chevy K1500, unmolested and in excellent condition, with 100k miles... and it’s absurd how many times the thing has been broken into.... they usually fuck with the door latch, then smash the window, then they try to cram a screwdriver into the ignition...

I let my friends drive it.

Last month toyota dumped a bunch of their leftover BZ4X on lease for $0 down and about $200/month. they also came with 1 year of free charging too.... if i recall, hyundai did the ioniq 6 at $250/m as well.

Agree with the last statement. It’s cool to love what you do for work… but don’t ever fall in love with your job. there’s a fine line between the two.

no kidding about the hard acceleration thing. there’s an onramp to a 6 lane highway I have to use that’s ridiculously short, it goes upwards to the highway, so it’s kinda hard to see oncoming traffic as youre rolling up, and sometimes theres a considerable amount of traffic on the highway, so it’s kinda hard deciding…

yeah its definitely a “we sell it because we have to, not because we want to.” car... if i had to guess the main driver behind why they have it is to improve their overall fleet mpg to meet regulations.

Similar to the spark, I bought a bolt recently and was actually super surprised as to how much interior space it has. I’m only 5’10” by mid afternoon, but that car has a fuckton of headroom. I think the seat goes back a few more clicks too (and I usually sit pretty far back on the seat rails).

I’ll keep my 1937 Buick till the day I die.

pro-tip, if you do it by bike, it’s not always closed.

It’s probably something to do with pixels. It’s probably a 1920x720 display. Just happens to be 12.3” diagonal.

I’m gonna take a slight hot take here, and agree with you here that the screens are fine.

$150/month. back in 2o12 I bought a new focus manual hatchback. I paid most of it, and took out $5k loan over 36m at some low interest rate.
