Fun fact: the last car to offer a cassette deck in the US? The 2010 Lexus SC430 convertible.

Your mom is right. We are borrowing our sister-in-law’s 2006 Acura MDX. It’s a great station wagon, but the HVAC is bewildering. You have to authorize the map function (thanks, lawsuits!) every time in order to adjust the HVAC on the touch screen. WTF.

Yup. Appreciate the math. Many skip it. Drivers have to rest. Trucks can fuel - even recharge - then.

This. My ‘64 Willys Wagon has four gearshifts on the floor. Our EV? None.

Great overview. Thank you.

We had one for two years: the numbers worked out to be 20,000 miles and 5.5 gallons of gas. It’s the perfect commuter/city car. It’s a bit twitchy at highway speed (like driving a CJ7), the gauges seem to be inspired by a mid-80s Pontiac and the gas motorcycle engine is a total joke (good for the flats only really),

Herzlichen Glueckwuensch. Viel Spass beim Road Trip!

Depends which California county one lives in. Some require smog checks every two years no matter what.

There is not much wrong with this that the Volt 2's powertrain won’t solve, but GM apparently ceded that market to Toyota with the RAV4 Prime and Kia with the upcoming Sorrento PHEV.

So much this. Does the safety standard test for a belted or unbelted occupant? That in turn impacts the size of the airbag and hence the size of the pillar.

Excellent overview. Thank you.

Agree...which by the way is just a 240V dryer outlet (and circuit).

Why Garberville? Why not Phillipsville? Leggett? Laytonville?

Yeah, you are exactly right, but we are all human.

New cars have to meet California emissions and used cars have to have passed a smog test within the past 60 days prior to sale.

3rd: Electric or SUVs? Wrong question.

4th: If you want to read about a recent construction quagmire in Germany, google “new Berlin airport.” It’s no wonder Berliners are concerned.

So much this.
