What makes you think it has anything to do with technology and not the politics behind it?To be honest, I'm a little surprised that an ex-USAF guy is so anti-technology.

Looking at your posting history, you're another one walking a fine line...you have been warned.
I don't care about politics.What makes you think it has anything to do with technology and not the politics behind it?
If you want to buy an EV, that's fine, do what works for you. Just stop having the rest of us help pay for it.
I think the GAOTW winner should swap places with #2. Also the last honorable mention girl should be moved up in the standings. I’m not complaining, just making observations based on highly objective non scientific data! And I do appreciate you taking the time to do this, but Your Honor, I object!
Maybe some of us are surprised at your willingness to embrace the tech. Not saying you are wrong by doing so, and you seem to have a grip on the costs.To be honest, I'm a little surprised that an ex-USAF guy is so anti-technology.
I hate to say it, but it was probably worth it to them to poach and film it for clicks on his youtube channel. They have probably made ten times that much. Greed.
I hate golf more than I hate baseball but John Daly is awesome
You can go fuck yourself. Please, and thank you
Batteries have cycle lives and the metallurgy of the battery will determine that. Lithium ion batteries can be cycled 3000 to 5000 times. Lead acid only has 1200 cycles. So, the more you cycle the battery the faster you kill it. If the car sits a lot is more than likely the parasitics loads are draining the battery as it sit there, unless it's on a charger.Typically they get about 200,000 out of the batteries if they drive the car every day. If they don’t drive the car every day and put very little mileage on the car, it tends to kill the batteries, faster believe it or not.
Batteries as long as they are in the original container and not leaking are consider hazardous material. If they are leaking they will be considered hazardous waste. Both can be recycled, but at a cost. For industrial batteries the owner of the battery is responsible for it until they have the paper work from a recycling facility (The battery death papers). I believe, not sure here, the the OEM would be required to take back the batteries. They could still charge you for taking back the batteries.The bigger question I have related to the lithium ion battery packs is not how long they last… Because they last for about 500,000 miles at 90% capacity… but the question is when it comes time to get rid of the car are they going to consider the battery packs to be toxic waste similar to solar panels?
Although your posts are a nice review, your choice for winners has no validity unless you are basing it on the number of “likes” each pic receives.Objection overruled!
While the silver award winner (#2) is a much more impressive pic overall, and would be GAOW if #1 was not in contention, the "shape" of the #2 derriere is a bit less " spherically round" and much less "fuller" than the GAOW winner. And, the GAOW winner seems to have that perfectly chiseled spherical shape without any cellulite. She's the clear winner, this week.
As for "Honorable mentions," there is no order to them. I pick 4 honorable mentions each week, and each has equal standing. I list them in no particular order.
Is this still available?

Do you think you could send this message to the twits arguing about EV's on this thread. The only thing motivating about their EV banter is motivating me to ask you to tell them to take it an appropriate thread.Looking at your posting history, you're another one walking a fine line...you have been warned.
I politely asked Glen Dirty MD to take the EV talk to new thread before, apparently he's pretty dense between the ears...so when he started back up with it I just used the ignore option...poof, gone.Do you think you could send this message to the twits arguing about EV's on this thread.

So instead of a Remington, you get a savage.If you go to the dealer and have the battery in your Prius replaced, it’ll cost you $8000.
If you go to an aftermarket shop, you’ll get a battery that 95% as good and it will cost you $2000.
Those do make good generator engines. It’s too bad they don’t make the greatest truck engines…I drive an electric vehicle.
It has an alternator and two 12v batteries.
That electricity is used to run the lights, blower, sensors, computer and other needed accessories.
All of it is powered by a 6 liter diesel engine.

Wow, pretty impressive. That engine could have been so much better though. If only Ford hadn’t tried to get ahead of the ridiculous EPA mandates and had designed it themselves330,000 miles on it and it has the original head studs.
It does have post nasal drip though. Won't park it in the driveway any more.
