New DeLorean? I thought is was a Tesla pickup.

Sounds like you may be misinformed, Speedy! Electricity is perfectly clean. Just look at your outlets. Okay, there could be some dust on them, but other than that...

Yep, and that's why I absolutely hate touch screens. No tactile feel whatsoever, so I have to take my eyes off the road, and hope I hit the correct spot on the screen - while on a not overly smooth road and going a bit fast.

It wasn't particularly interesting in my Jeep Cherokee XJ. Just pull the lever accordingly. And even less so in the '14 Ram 1500, where it was done with buttons.

Say Watt?!?

Carvana fumbled on the last car I sold them. For some reason they eventually needed newly signed copies of some of the paperwork. Guess it had expired by the time they got around to doing anything with it. At that time (and since the car obviously hadn't sold yet) I asked about buying it back...

I have (by mistake, of course) removed a few mirrors and radio antennae along the way.

I used to lane split in L.A. traffic. Carefully, obviously. It was bad enough when people would change lanes without looking, or using turn signals, but when some started opening the door, (just out of jealousy, I suppose), I gave up. Still miss that WideGlide, but not riding it in CA.

Huh? You don't even have any trees around December 24??

Uh, oh. That's not a good reason for them to turn. I'd ask our resident weather guesser to send some rain your way if I were you. We could take a break here.

Yes, it won't be long until the leaves start turning great colors.

That much I can get done, since I use the indoor facilities, but painting, welding, etc. is harder/impossible when it rains. Which it has done every afternoon and/or evening lately. But we need it.

Hey, 10 minutes and 50 seconds isn't bad for a guy your age. Actually, I didn't think you could run at all.

We both know why. As mentioned above. When cruising along at 95-plus, and not having to swerve for gators, the sound of the engine is all the sound you need.

Yeah, if I drove a taxi I'd want tunes, too. Can't just listen to the passengers' drivel.

I'm going to be nice (for a change) and not comment.

In Florida, that means parking in an air conditioned trailer, right? How else could it possibly cool down.

I accidentally watched part of a race with electric race cars. Turns out that instead of normal pit stops with fueling, tire changes, etc., the driver just hops into a new car. So, if a team has 48 cars, and they don't break down or crash much, it's fully doable to win LeMans with "an" EV.

Except, I understand that they're one of your leading imports now. Poor, poor, NYC mayor.

Come to think of it, the impact on the grid, for example, won't be nearly as big as it may sound. Same with the amount of charging stations needed. Long before I fled, 12 years ago, I was already a minority in L.A. county, which isn't exactly a farming community. For those who haven't enjoyed...
