If it makes you feel better, mine was just over a quarter century ago.

Basically any new cars. You Corvette fresh off the dealer lot is not special. If we want to see one we can go to the dealership ourselves or just wait to see one rolling down the road. I remember when the HHR and Prowler first came out and some people actually entered them into car shows. It was pretty lame to say the…

How do you know a given owner did that for their car? How do you know if any other classic owner didn’t? Seems like a weird prejudice to me as someone who did fully restore an early ‘65 Mustang.

Welcome to modern media.

“It’s not clear why Tesla decided not to do a demo”

Hybrid to PHEV to lower mile basic commuter EVs to full EVs should have been the natural order.

My neighbor 2 doors down had a Yukon or similar monster before they had any kids. After about a year with kid number 2 they traded it in for an Odyssey. I guess they realized monster SUVs aren’t the best choice for the family after all. I bet they’re loving the cargo space without the step ladder to get in and…

With proper marketing a budget no frills EV commuter with 150 mile range would be an excellent seller.
