Part of the appeal of EV is the acceleration and I’m sure it continues with ownership. My wife’s friend shows off how quick her Mustang is and pretty sure she drives that way without “showing off”. Will that takes a toll on tires? I’d say so. I think since the beginning of this thread until...

That is the one deterrent of a Tesla is the service/maintenance/repair. If something happens and need a fix, you really have no place to go other than Tesla authorized facilities.

I have an aluminum ramp from princess auto that was pretty cheap. I checked with budget and enterprise van rentals with unlimited mileage and brought back a kawi zephyr 550 some time ago. It was reasonable cheap. I happen to have a vehicle with a hitch and can rent a motorcycle trailer from...

Where this is a will, there is a way. I found with kids, they want to spend time with me no matter what we are doing and that includes motorcycles. Changing the oil, looking things over, noting what is needed for the next service etc. Kids can be inquisitive and enjoy being involved...

Took an extended lunch break today. The parkway was clear of traffic, I rode semi squid (half helmet and tee shirt) Soothed the soul and returned to work in a great state of mind.

Even with a PHEV and review of my petro fill ups versus monthly electric cost on a 120 vac circuit, it does very well. And we can run about the area primarily on battery most of the time. Wife loves regen and the idea of getting energy back while slowing down. It’s free in her mind and there...

If my FIL installs a 240 vac outlet he intends for his welding stuff at the side of the house, it’s pretty much a no brainer. Once he does that, I’m taking him shopping for a Tesla. He could end up with something else but, I’m pushing for FSD and willing to pay the monthly sub for him...

Most charging apps will advise how many charge stations are at the spot, how many are in use and how many are available etc. And I’ve found the enroute stops along the 400 series are zoos at the pumps and even for food. Sometimes you can get off the highway for fuel and food at a different...

Market place is your friend here. Plenty of used units of high quality, low hours and well cared for. Get word out in your neighborhood you’re in the market and might even have someone offer up the one they have sitting in the garage. It’s been sitting unused because they went with a...

It’s right up my ally looks wise. I love the look of retro standard bikes like Kawi’s 900RS and Honda’s CB 1000 Hornet SP or even Yamaha’s XSR etc. Loved my HD Sportsters and Buell tubers. However, if it ever makes it into production and resembles what the concept is, no doubt it’s price...

The Outlander was on our list along with the Koreans. Look into how their hybrid system works and the dealer experience. Hyundai typically stocked high end models with middle trims for order only and discourage you from ordering due to the small difference is cost and availability of the high...

318 with a 2 barrel! Cut the muffler out and replace with a glass pack thrush! Sweet ride! 🤣 Ops! I got the wrong car! The dreaded K car 2.2 L Yikes!

Just like anything, there are tends and fads. Everyone wants adv style machines and the dream of travelling the world. Dressing up as a pirate and bar hopping has aged out like a Diamond Dave concert. Widows clearing out the garage their husband’s machine they left behind and many are well...

It’s been the equivalent of a smartphone since I could walk. I’ve been obsessed. Evel Knievel jumping Caesar’s Palace on NBC’s wide world of sports event that everyone glued their eyes to the tv for. Talked about it at school or on the street corner. Re-enacting it with our banana seat...

Plug in hybrid isn’t a bad option. We do quite a bit of running around on battery alone and reverts to hybrid when doing longer drives.
