Try Stopwatch. I've had very good luck with Jarod there, for the times I couldn't go get the vehicles myself.

Yeah, the TRX is a good choice, but they don't make the Trackhawk anymore.

I'm done. There's nothing out there that interests me now. Then again, never say never. Three weeks ago I didn't think I'd buy a Challenger GT.

Okay, so it wasn't all bad then. Kinda like when my former house in CA burnt down after I sold it...with a Tesla in the garage. There's always a silver lining.

But you can charge them for free! All it takes is a minor investment of a few tens of thousands of dollars, for solar and/or wind, and a bunch of batteries. Or. bypass your electric meter.

While I definitely wouldn't want an electric car or pickup, I could see having an electric tractor, if it became necessary to have some sort of EV. With that I couldn't be much more than a 1/4 mile from the garage when it dies, so it would be easy enough to go retrieve it and plug the umbilical...

I get that this EV stuff can work for some. And if 25 miles per day is all it takes, more power to you (or from us, as the case may be since we subsidize it). In theory, those 25 miles per day would be plenty for us, too, but the problems start when 300+ miles is needed every three weeks or so...

It would be much better for me if they charge by how much time I spend driving instead. That way I'd get both the enjoyment of driving fast, and lower costs.

I agree. Even though both are Furds, that's even worse than putting Hellcat badges on a Ram 1500, I think. (Sorry, 04Ram2500Hemi. Couldn't resist.)

I can't help but wonder what the guys that were waiting for their Bugattis to come ashore think about EVs. VW ones in particular. That one sure didn't do much to help save the planet. Not that any of them do.

I'm quite surprised that Stellantis (indirectly, but still) haven't sent me to the grave yet. But that has more to do with how I drive when having over 700 hp on tap than anything else. Of course, I'd be even more likely to die in an EV. From boredom.

Not even the goofy wheels that look like the spokes are broken from the factory appeal to you??

Not necessarily. Depends on how many over 75 you've owned.

I don't think it's about the quantity of vehicles bought, but the quality. I know I've bought well over 150, but I still have a clean record...not a single Furd or electric vehicle. Unless you count the John Deere eGator I bought for dirt cheap on a whim. I call it "the Prius" as it's as close...

It just feels good to shoot yourself in the foot, huh?

I think you're very generous with the 10-15 minute fill time. It takes me less than 10 minutes including filling in the log book and resetting Trip A. Have you tried squeezing the handle on the nozzle past the first click, where fuel starts to come out?

Too much Charging and not enough Challenger in this discussion. Although, I fully understand that charging those dumb EVs is challenging.

Don't worry, ChargerChallenger. For many, those 217 miles is more than enough to get to the nearest Starbucks, then a cry closet, then another Starbucks, and back home in time to watch The View.

To somewhere of your choice, where things aren't so congested that you could actually use an electric car. Not saying that we couldn't, but it would either require getting a few of them to make it possible to get home again (i.e. hop in a different one and hope it'd make it back home, then...

All I want to add is that if you can indeed use an electric car, you should move.
