Yeah, but my EV is faster...when charged. :cautious: :cautious::cautious:
So faster is the end goal with this green garbage, I thought it was to save the planet. So make it less fast would use less lithium, cobalt and every other thing child labor is making to keep this "green dream" alive.

But no because we all know it is 100% bullshit lets make it fast, people might actually buy it if it is stupid fast, who cares it uses more resources.....do I have that right.

Set your cruise at 90 on i-95 and a Prius will pass you. "But, but I'm still getting better mileage." Climate change is just the current, "Hey! Look at me," trend.

You know how easy it would be to put a built motor in that? Say a Windsor or Cleveland? And have a massive sleeper?

Too cool!!!

So...Rover owners are, um, stupid?

We like vehicles with charm and character.

I mean, how boring is life when your car just…
Starts? Or you know formsure you will make it to the next town without the rear axle just… falling off. Or that the Connelly leather interior isn’t giving you anthrax.

If you want to live that kind of boring existence, getting where you want to go and not getting stranded in Death Valley and eaten by vultures… fine. Get a Lexus or an Accord or even a 77 ford Granada.

But if you want to live in style while potentially dying a horrible, miserable early death because of a vehicular system failure… then a British car is definitely right for you!!

Sheesh… boring people. They’re everywhere.

I'm boring as hell. That's why I drive Toyotas.

I do long for the GM days of missing matches and opening days.

    I imagine those guys saw some stuff they'll never forget.

    Hats off to Steve.

    Today in 2001, the actor Steve Buscemi returned to his old fire house in Manhattan's Little Italy, Engine 55. Put on a spare uniform and went to work.
    Buscemi trained as a fire fighter in 1980 and worked in the FNDY until left to pursue acting in 1984.
    He worked for several days in the rubble of the towers, working 12 hour shifts and refused interviews with the press. He has only now began to open up about happened that day and that he is suffering with a form of PTSD from what he saw in the wreckage. Prior to this all he ever said on the matter was that he and his then wife provided pizza, drinks and support to the other crew’s families.
    In 2014 he was appointed an Honorary Battalion Chief of the FDNY.

    Please sweet baby Jesus let there be an accompanying video of this somewhere?
    Look at the tail... does that mean the bison is asking the victim a question, e.g., "You talkin' to me?" or "Say that again!" or "Hey bitch, can't you read the sign?".

    No doubt about it, Tesla is not BMW when it comes to producing their vehicles, or when it comes to service.

    I have only had one experience with BMW vehicles and their service. The car belonged to my granddaughter and If Tesla is worse than BMW in build and service they are very bad IMO. There were constant problems with it and I dreaded to hear my phone ring because it was "Granpa, there is something wrong with my car". The service department would lie to her and once said there was nothing they could do although it was still in warranty. When an older and more serious individual got involved they suddenly decided they would come get it as it wouldn't go at all. I was so very happy when she finally got rid of that damn thing.

    A dealer oil change was $300 then and they told her no one but them could change the oil. The local oil change place said that's nuts, we do it all the time. They also told her it had to use the run flat tires it came with that were total junk. Grandpa and one of the local tire shop owners told her that was untrue and a set of regular tires solved that problem.

    Never had a BMW but several Mercedes. Great cars and reliable if you did the maintenance. They get pricey when they get older,. Buy it used at a steep discount with around 30K, drive it 125K and move it along.

    Here's a some what time dated original joke I teased a buddy who had a BMW with. That was right after Cheney/Bush invaded Iraq.

    -Why is a Mercedes Benz fundamentally a better car than a BMW?

    -There's no 'W' in Mercedes Benz.
