Actually, unlike EVs, not a single vehicle of ours is ugly. Okay, some look better than others, but none of them are appliance like.

You're unfortunately far from the only one who can't see the forest for the trees, and lack the integrity to say no to handouts.

Thanks, we will keep enjoying our two Challenger Hellcats, the two TRXs, and the two Ram 3500s. And my girlfriend is quite content with her one remaining Porsche and the RS6 Avant. Heck, she even likes her Audi Q8, and I really like my Challenger GT AWD, too. And there's more, but I won't bore...

I normally get about 22 mpg with my 'Cat. My girlfriend, driving a bit slower (under 100, usually) and less aggressively in her Redeye, always gets a bit over 24. Whatever that costs in gas is almost irrelevant. Even if gas was $10 per gallon, they're enjoyable to drive and that's what counts...

And I apparently don't know how to explain that an EV (not towing) with an actual 400 mile range would not be usable around here. THERE ARE EXTREMELY FEW PLACES TO CHARGE ONE, WITHIN HUNDREDS OF MILES IN ANY DIRECTION. Add to that the noticeable elevation changes and normal speed being 80 or...

It was 900 miles round trip, with an about three hour stop to buy and load the car on the trailer, then about 15 minutes to fill all three tanks. Also, had to stop six times at stoplights and twice at stop signs. Not that I would tow anything with a 1/2-ton, but the latter should be an...

If the auto dimming headlights don't work is something I'd never know. Everything automated that can be disabled in settings is, before driving a car for the first time. Did notice that one front corner of the hood needs to be adjusted up about an 1/8", which is easy enough. Unlike the...

Thanks, I'll check. Already know that it has the 3rd seat I don't want, and the sunroof I don't want. Those are part of the $6K Plus package...that I didn't want. Didn't add a single option, but I'll dig up the build sheet and see what all it's supposed to have.

It's home, finally. I like it more than I thought I would, and it was very nice to see only 18 miles on the odometer. I'd expected quite a bit more, and those 18 include the seven miles that the dealer had to drive it (yes, they have to these days). He even called and asked my permission...

First trip with the 3500 with the auxiliary tank installed. Made it almost 500 miles before that 40-gallon tank was empty and it started to draw from the factory 74 gallons. Stopped at an affordable fuel station on the way back, and it felt a bit odd to fill up when the distance to empty still...

Whoa! That would eliminate several "things" I've put together for pure enjoyment. Some may call it a death wish, but they've been both memorable and fun. Even though the one thing they had in common was trying to kill me every time I drove them.

Most everything from China is temporary.

In my case the negativity is based on that an EV just plain would not work for us. Other than to go to the nearby post office, and to NAPA once a month or so to get some unexpectedly needed part it'd just sit there with a cord attached. Having too many vehicles already, adding an EV for that...

Well, I got paid four times that much for driving my Trackhawk for about a year and a half. And avoided the dread of being in an EV in the process.

Does the warranty cover physical damage?

That battery didn't die from old age, but something happened to it. And it doesn't take much damage to put the whole thing out of commission.

Meanwhile, apparently a new battery for a Taycan is about $73K. But that does include installation.

Their unfortunate approach has been well known for quite a while, which is partially why we've "hoarded" vehicles with 6.2s. And I'll pick up a fifth one this week. If, God forbid, this EV nonsense keeps going against all odds, we should have enough fun vehicles to last us for a while. And if...

So in six or seven years they will have invented fully useful and safe batteries, found ways to create the needed electricity, and built the infrastructure to supply it? If I had to guess, it's far more likely that in six or seven years even the die hard greeinies will have realized that this...

If that is better or not depends on your conscience. A lot of people are perfectly fine with living off the government gravy train. Others can see the forest despite the trees.
