Blazers do not hold up well. Roy and Oden went down with bad knees. Walton and Bowie had foot issues. And then they say and rap that they’re never ever going to leave their parking spot because they’re loyal, but you come out and can’t find them because they’re on their way to Miami.
excellent information. thanks for the insight
I know, and you’re welcome. If ever you want to discuss how the Nick Van Excel era relates to your auto futures, just let me know.

IMA, please go back a page so my jackassery isn’t totally destructive. No one is actually thanking me for anything.

The Cybertruck is getting spotted on the road now and man...it looks like the 2023 Cardinals.

Or as someone on twitter put it, "it looks like a pontiac aztek rendered on a play station 1."

It's basically The Car Built for Homer, right?

There’s an Audi R8 with chameleon paint I drive by a few times a week. There’s a two car garage at the house and it’s always parked on the curb. Seems crazy to me. We park our Prius in the garage because the catalytic converter is, essentially, made of fentanyl. They keep that thing on the street.

The R8 is in a weird spot on the car world. It's a super car, but it's kind of not too. I had my eyes on them for a while as it seemed they may reach some pretty attainable prices, then the pandemic happened and ruined my entire world. lol If I had one it would be garaged, but I'd drive the hell out of it.

Bought a Bolt EUV about a week ago and after some weird bank delays I finally picked it up today. Traded in my 10 year old Sonic hatchback. First new car I’ve gotten since a Honda Civic I got after college. Decided it was time to get an Ev. I like this model and Chevy’s briefly stopping production after this bunch to overhaul it. Mostly because they’re stopping use of this battery. Failure on the battery is covered for 8 years so I’m not too worried about that.

Anyway it’s in the driveway and charging right now. Looks like I can expect about 30 added miles charging overnight for now. Which should work out fine until I get an upgraded charger installed. Chevy covers a Level 2 charger install as long as it’s not complicated, and if it is they pay $1000. After that it should be able to do a full charge overnight.

Drove it home from the dealership for about an hour and I think my favorite thing is how quiet it is. Been wanting a quiet car my whole life and used to joke that I should get a Cadillac. Pretty nice to be able to hear background instruments in music without having to crank the sound all the way up.

I had a Prius for a bit and I really liked that except if someone is walking in front of you in a parking lot or on a neighborhood street and don't even realize you're there.

I think I need to buy two cars in the next few months. Not looking forward to it.
