My current DD is probably in the 11 second ballpark. I call it the momentum Prius.

Thanks for the links and the info. I will definitely be looking into the ELR.  

No real winter where I live. I have an insulated garage. I was in Florida last week. That's where I drove the ELR. You mentioned a ride from Daytona to St. Augustine up further. I figured you were in Florida. The one I looked at was not in the best of shape.

Are they too efficient?

It was an obnoxious HOA. I’m working with some neighbors to fix it. I’d totally drive a Ranger as it is all the truck I need. And yes, bro-trucks aren’t good as vehicles.

Where I live in Georgia, 1/2 trucks are the kiddie trucks. So many 3/4 and 1 ton trucks in my neighborhood, I can't even count. And the HOA board takes issue with a neighbor who had her business vinyl stickers on her Lexus RX.

Commercial vehicles are prohibited by the neighborhood covenants. I pointed out all the bro-workish-trucks are technically commercial trucks, but was overruled because Georgia boys gotta have trucks. It’s even more obvious because all the garages are too shallow to fit even an F-150 crew cab, with the 6.5' bed, so all…

My comprehensive insurance recently went up. I was talking to the insurance agent and she said that the typical reason is that the cost of surrounding cars may be higher. I live in a middle class North Atlanta suburb in a family neighborhood. The agent asked me if there were any expensive cars in the neighborhood,…

Good information! My daily commute is 40 miles round trip. It’s mostly calm driving averaging about 50 MPH with 7 traffic lights. My Prius C usually gets in the mid 50's. I'm leaning on management to add a few chargers at the office, but I'd like to make the drive without the charge at work. I love the brown seats and…

I’m looking to replace my Prius with a Voltec based car. I drive an ELR last weekend to see what the seats felt like. I know it would fit in my garage without moving my brewing equipment. I'd consider the CT6 if it would fit. I borrowed a friends Volt a few weeks ago and couldn't get comfortable in the seats. What's…

Kudos for cleaning a $3K car. My DD is so much cleaner than this because I don’t drive around in filth. I could go take better photos in my office parking lot with my phone.

CP! Spend $200 on a full detail and I might have considered it. 

The CR-Z split the difference between the 1st Gen Insight and the last CR-Z and missed the mark on both. 

I wonder what car manufacturers could come up with in the 2 seat commuter car category using off the shelf parts and current manufacturing technology. How well can they do a modern CRX-HF? 

Neutral: I test drove a used Cadillac this weekend. After having a rental Caddy earlier this year and really enjoying the air conditioned seats and the ability to eat up the miles. I'm considering a used one to rack up the miles. 

If I know I'm going for an outdoor adventure, I safety wire the door part of my smart key under my car, then wrap the smart key part in aluminum foil and leave it hidden inside the car. My girlfriend does mostly the same except a necklace with her door key.

Any time I travel a long distance from the house, I bring both keys for my car.

In my situation, the second time I rented a car (from a cur-rate company because I was 21 and broke) I was driving it from the airport to a job interview and a dash light lit up with a warning sound. I pulled over and went for the manual. The warning light was high transaxle temperature. My car didn’t have the light…

Every recent new car I’ve driven had shown some “you are responsible” screen on the display when the car is started. Isn’t it obvious that the meatbag at the wheel is responsible for keeping the 2 ton killing machine between the stripes?

I read manuals on rental cars.
