I think this aspect of EV ownership is difficult for people to understand until they live it. Unless you are taking frequent long trips in an area where chargers are not plentiful, and unless you have no access to a charger at home, range should not matter.

“the cat’s ass”: compliment or insult?

Crashed on 9/30 and left the hospital on 10/6.

Do you want to get arrested for tampering with evidence?  Because that’s precisely how you would get arrested for tampering with evidence.

EVs are not perfect but they are a big step in the right direction towards addressing climate change by reducing overall CO2 output. Transportation is a small part of the pie but that isn’t a valid excuse to do nothing.

Claim: after accounting for direct and indirect subsidies, including various government subsidies, the “True Cost” to fuel an EV on a per-gallon-equivalent basis is $17.33.

Trucks are often used as family vehicles these days. Anyone dropping $40k+ on a truck is going to spend a little extra to enable carrying their kids around.

Toyota MR2 Spyder or NA Miata. I’m thinking the old-ish platforms and lack of a solid roof would contribute to an early demise for the frame.

I just inherited a family Mercedes project car in need of serious TLC. I just want to re-iterate how awesome FCP is! They are one of my Top 3 sites when looking for parts.

The newest Borregos are now 9 years old. Considering the rarity, age, and run-of-the-mill status of the Borrego, I wonder how many are still on the road anymore. I see probably 1 per year. Nationwide, Autotrader has 17 for sale.

People give BMW drivers shit for not using their turn signals, but the number of Kia, truck and Prius drivers that barrel across lanes without signaling is far greater.

You’re right, but that requires another layer of thought! That’s too much for the average person.

Since when is that illegal?  I have never heard of that law.

Now put these clueless folks in a European car with rear fog lights.  Madness!

I strangely see this behavior on ramps that are easiest to accelerate on - straight, flat or even downhill.

No, it has to be simpler or more vague. Something like, “Death Viscera” or simply “Viscera”

Knowing what I know about the artificial complexities created by dealerships, even if the $750 went towards the car it would easily be rolled into some other BS dealer cost and rendered meaningless. Easy to do on a $60-70k car.

The maintenance aspect of home ownership is definitely a bummer. I’ve even accepted “I don’t want this job” quotes, and contractors STILL won’t come out.

That TSA agent earned their pay today.

If anything embodies the selfish, casual ignorance of the American driver, it is failure to use turn signals. For the safety of everyone on the road, please indicate when and where you are planning to move your 2-ton vehicle. It is possibly the easiest and most overlooked task of driving.
