I’m not an engineer, nor do I play one on television, but that picture is frankly terrifying. I haven’t done any physics for decades, but I have built things out of of pine and I would not lift a heavy pot plant with that thing. At least not out in the street where people could see it happening.

So you wrote whole thing because you don’t like a purple car? That’s fine, but why didn’t you just say that? The comma in the headline is questionable as well.  I’m not sure why this article exists, TBH.

Oh, good - now I know to cross them off my list of potential EV’s.

I didn’t know we were the same age......RIP Sabine.

Sorry, no. Trying to make you buy a car by making you hate it is just a dumb concept. If that’s what they are in fact doing, it is sad.

“It’s definitely one of those things unique to America”

They have EV’s in Europe, too. And very cold weather. They seem to be coping, judging by the lack of news about this problem.

E46 will always be my favourite M3 - not a fan of the yellow, but love the car.

Could be just that - I just didn’t see the public alcohol thing being a Bruce thing, that’s all.

“but above all this story is just very Bruce Springsteen”

I’ve been watching since Peter Brock only had one Bathurst title and I honestly don’t care anymore - the cars are all the same underneath the skin bar the engine, so I only watch Bathurst now - they could ride tricycles and it would be interesting at the Mountain.

At least Kayo has other sports as well. I know it only hurts me, but ever since they let someone try to sign up to Foxtel at my single-person house that wasn’t me, I can’t help but say fuck you to Foxtel and never give them any money. So no Kayo for me.

Still never happened: Apple actually announcing publicly they are making a car

BMW - Only Tasteless Idiots Will Buy Our Current Design Direction And We’re Fine With That

If things work out, it will be my current car, a Holden Commodore V6 ute. I intend to retire in about 4 years and my next car will be an EV if I can afford it.  If not, it might be a RAV4 Prime if Toyota relents and brings it to Australia.  Either way, it will likely be the last pure ICE car I own.

This is a joke post, right?

Only one person can be ‘a better driver than everyone else’ - and it’s certainly not me.

An ICE vehicle can’t either, so that doesn’t make any sense - but you go right ahead.

If they are too dumb or cheap to be still running Flash in 2020 then they got what they deserved. I thought they monitored all our decadent Western media, anyway - there have been enough stories about how Flash was terrible and was going away for them to have done something about it.

I did not think I would ever type a sentence defending a member of the Spears family, but I did run over one of our cats about 25 years ago - in my defence, she was deaf and did not hear the car coming as she moved behind my reversing vehicle. I hope never to feel that way again - it was awful.
