I enjoy all performance cars, equal opportunity tire shredder here.
So I have the cheap version and shreds tires too…. Only 500hp and 500ft/lbs. That’s probably the one expense no one tells you about when you buy one of these cars… You’ll be replacing tires every year to two years.

Somehow EV/Hybrid ownership has turned into a political statement.
However, I like EV/Hybrids when used to improve the vehicle's handling and acceleration performance like the Porsche 918, Tesla Roadster, and the Corvette e-Ray.

YMMV, happy shooting.

Brother EVERYTHING is a political stand these days.

Sides, everything has to be divided into sides…and to not divide your life dependent on ideology is perhaps the most egregious sin of all.

You’re not a “real conservative“ if you ___________________________ !

^ is just as stupid as when the progressives do it.

I DO believe in hard stands on issues of Liberty and Right/Wrong. I do not think liking a nearly 8 second car that happens to be electric makes you a sellout...or turbo 4 cyl cars…or eating the duck in a nice restaurant with your wife…or having a gay friend…or keeping your Yeti cooler…or using 6.5 Creedmoor…

makes you not on the right side (you MOA guys are close to the line though)…

I am a firm believer in ”hybrids”. Berger 144’s are GREAAAAAT! Berger 105’s are pretty darned good as well.

Oh, we were talking about motor vehicles weren’t we?. Yep, all mine are hybrids. They have that tiny little electric motor that sits on the side of the BIG Chevy V-8! It gives it a boost in the morning to get going. Then Shuts Up and keeps out of the way!

Pictured below, 3/4 ton 6.0 liter Chevy V-8 and 5.3 liter Chevy V-8. They can both pull trailers cross country, without having to spend hours standing in line waiting to get to a fancy charging station, and no heavy, rare earth metal battery in the frame area to lug around.

Dammit Hank, will you please try and keep up. I clicked on the post you’re referring to it. It take me something like three pages back.
Hahahah. Good one.
This isn’t a live conversation. I spend days at the range or the ranchito, or the ham shack and drop in here.
Wait till I resurrect a long dead subject.

2024 Wildflower Season Update​

It is too early to know if there will be an impressive bloom during our normal wildflower season (mid-February through mid-April). However, there are already a few patches of wildflowers blooming out of season. As of January, the best places to see flowers are Panamint Valley and Ubehebe Crater. Sprouts are starting to pop up near Furnace Creek Visitor Center and in washes throughout the park.
