There are incintives for solar installation, although one could argue they should be higher.

Solar panels should definitely be on most new construction.  More wind needs to be installed too.  A recent study showed that painting just one blade of a turbine reduces bird strikes by 72%, so that becomes much less of a worry/talking point.

A BMW i8, which is a beautiful, gorgeous car that doesn’t get enough love for reasons I can’t quite understand. 

Sorry, didn’t get a picture. Sad. Anyway, Porsche 918 Spyder. I heard it before I saw. Gawd, that machine is loud!

Saw a Prowler — purple with stripes and a nice, loud exhaust — rolling out of my local Costco on Saturday morning.

I saw this sweet Citroen this weekend from our condo balcony in downtown Minneapolis. 

I have a spot from this weekend, and one from the last.

Lotus Esprit Turbo. Original wedge. Had the black US spec bumper and “Turbo” printed on the side. Didn’t matter, as I could hear the turbo burble as it went past!

Was behind a very cool ‘32 Ford hot rod which got away from me before I could get any pics.

I’m so happy to see Pinback featured here! One of my favorites from that era, they have such a hypnotic style that just chills me out every time I listen. 

STFU I absolutely love Pinback! This song, Penelope, Good to Sea, The Yellow Ones... The fact that they sample lines from Dark Star on this album really does help to invoke a sort of cathartic isolation. Maybe not the most poignant lyricists, Rob and Zack are brilliant rythmic artists, their created sound almost…

Actually yes you are, in MANY cases. The small gas-bar buys the fuel on consignment and resells it. Being on consignment the price the reseller pays can change WHILE IT IS IN THEIR TANK and if they misprice it to the end user, the loss comes out of their pocket. The average markup on Gasoline in Canada at the pumps is…

My 2021 was manufactured in October and I bought it in November. I’m surprised anyone can purchase a “new” 6 this late into the year, although I can certainly understand why: they’re simply amazing cars with great looks, reliability, and overall value.

We own a 2014 6. What a great car it has been. The technology in it is awesome. Headlights turn when you turn, radar cruise control, automatic windshield wipers that speed up when it rains harder, sensors that look sideways as you back out into a roadway. Great mileage and almost no issues. Plenty of power. I'm happy…

It’s not just production that’s the issue, its scalpers using Bots to buy up stock the moment they become available online and then selling them for wildly inflated prices 

Time to throw in my Miata RF! Because some of us like a cooler climate with seat warmers for back comfort.

As another option:

I own an s2000 so that’s my answer, but, imho, convertibles are not for the summer. I live in Oklahoma, so we experience an extreme temperature range every year.  Single to triple digits without fail. Convertibles are for any time the weather is NOT hot. Summer stop-and-go traffic is the absolute worst. You will sweat…

I was going to say S2000, but I’d want to be seen in a convertible, so I’ll go with this GTO I saw on Count’s Kustom’s back in the day. Say what you will about the show, this car was pretty sweet.
