“In either case, I’m always surprised when I see a hybrid vehicle that can get better highway mileage than its ICE counterpart, so color me impressed”

You may be right. Just because people have been saying that for the last 20+ years doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Any day now. Any day now...

The phone thing again? Phone companies essentially stopped making “regular” phones and you basically didn’t have too mamy options. Do you think car companies will stop making ICE vehicles in 9 years? Nah. 

“The car sales analyst reports that as of this for the month of July, EVs top the used car sales charts”

Yeah, to go from 2% of overall sales to over 50% in 8.5 years? That’s a big lol in my book.

“I imagine one day they’ll say mean things about us behind our backs in their own secret language.” lol

So you think that someone is going to stand at your car and try thousands of possible combinations?

So, ignore range on an EV?

Easy now. Don’t go making rational arguments. That’s not allowed when it comes to EVs.

“I did all of this without having to finance two cars to build credit. Apt at 23, house at 26. Just a small $5k loan on a $15k car paid off in less than a year at 22 and a credit card that I kept at a zero balance”

So basically bribe folks to purchase an EV, the “superior” product? And am I the only one surprised to see that sales are only at 7%? If they are leading the charge, I definitely don’t see the USA moving past 2% any time soon.

We agree.

4 doors, 4 tires, windows... checks out.

You summed it up nicely. I had a coworker that drove a 2016 (?) and he took me out to “show it off” and I just kept thinking, “Wow. This is it?” I bought a 2018 Tiguan and the salesmen and I went for a *wink wink* test drive in a 2018 GTI, and I was still underwhelmed. It wasn’t particularly fast, the handling was…

I just don’t get the slurping of the GTI...

Lol. Sure thing pal.

My 2002 Accord with 287K miles only used 3 speeds. It was a 4 speed auto.

The company I work for just sent out an email requiring anyone who comes on campus after the September 13th reopening to be vaccinated. Hallelujah!

Nice price.

Have you tried them? I have, with mixed results. Especially for what they charge.
