1966 Jeep Gladiator J3000. 327 Vigilante V8 and a four speed. It awesome. Wish I still had it:

This.

That’s funny ‘cuz it’s true. A buddy of mine in town once bought a Victorian where the seller had tiled over carpet... in the bathroom.

How do they plan to handle the massive power draw of everyone charging their vehicles at night?

We had both - the FIAT 500E with one kid and a big dog, and traded that for an i3 REx once we had two kids and the dog. Both used largely as a commuter car during the week and “family car” on the weekend. Both were great, but with differences.

Life is working from home whilst flailing and failing as the “remote learning” teacher and principal for the kids, but am slowly getting the ‘64 Willys Wagon back on the road:

Roger that:

My eyes keep getting pulled to the black rock rail/running board area. WTF is going on down there? By trying to look skinny, it looks fat. Can any of that be removed for improved ground clearance and breakover angle?

Maybe Biden should spend the next few weeks touring the US while standing in on the back seat of a Hummer EV, T-Tops removed, of course.

Thanks for posting these, but I’ll have to disagree with something.

Maybe they were going for the outward visibility of a WWII tank?

Our five-year-old loves it.

This. So much this. Add in Wall Street (and much of America’s) “long-term” focus on quarterly results and you have a cocktail for fail.

That may be true, but formal training has been going on since 1997. The utilities, OEMs, and other stakeholders started out in California. SAE codified a fire safety standard in 1998 (it’s been revised since). In 2001, it expanded outside of California (e.g. to Tennessee) and expanded to include electric buses.

There are 171,500 (average, 2014-2016 data) annual car fires in the US... one every three minutes.

First: Maybe dealerships can re-purpose their no-longer-needed parking lots into test tracks. These three should cover most of the use cases: 1. Race track, 2. Off-road course, and 3. Shopping mail.

Well, the higher beltlines and hence higher bed sides made for a more gooder (deeper) hillbilly hot tub.

The electric utilities and other EV groups started working with (e.g. preparing materials and doing training) the fire folks in California on EV fire safety back in 1997. 1997. This expanded to other states (like Tennessee) and included electric buses in 2001. In parallel, SAE released a standard on EV fire safety in…

Luxury in 2030 will be defined as any outward visibility that beats a 2019 Camaro.
