You can also just stop at gas stations, refill, take a pee, and swap drivers.

But feel free to drive ‘Biden-style’ if it suits you! (-:

In terms of performance, the new electric cars can blow them away.....


Once or twice, then they have to limp away and recharge.

Know how electric car owners get their cars across the country? On trailers.

My next project is installing the new independent suspension to replace the damned tortion bar suspension. After that it’ll handle like a new car.

Hat tip to Jay Leno for the inspiration on the suspension...

No problem, those backstabbing scum that rid the world of muscle cars will soon rid the world of Civilization, but they will never rid the world of thermonuclear weapons, chemical weapons and biological weapons.

In the 70’s a car cost a half years salary.

Now it’s a Year’s salary.

Paul Harvey predicted decades ago that this would happen.............................

Watched the Mecum Kissimmee Auction over the Weekend.

The prices paid for Restored Muscle Cars and Restomods were through the roof. People spending their Stock Market gains no doubt.

Doesn’t compute. Not in this old guy’s head, anyway.

The whole electric car thing is nothing but liberals trying to get the government to turn their tesla stock into Amazon stock IMO. And I love that noise. What’s more, my corvette can hit 186 mph, do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and get 30 mpg on the highway. I could cruise from Virginia Beach to San Fransisco and only stop for gas 6 times if I could keep it out of the city traffic.

We both know that Biden cannot drive. The old goat should be in an assisted care facility.

Here is the story of a girl on a mission with no plans to stop and be identified by gas station cameras:

I finally got the Magnum Hemi fixed and running and PedoJoe ruins that.

Wish I could afford a MoPed.

Funny, I have a bud who just bought a 2006 Magnum and is now in the midst of fixing it up.

The infrastructure to support electric cars doesn’t exist yet and may never. We need MORE ELECTRICAL POWER, not less. Yet the leftists, in their infinite wisdom, are choking off the supply power. An no, you won’t be able to charge your Tesla from solar and wind.

I have a 2016 2-door VW GTI with the electronically controlled mechanical differential. My car is faster than most of the muscle cars of that era, can get 30+ mph if driven normally and because of it’s impact resistance is only moderately expensive to insure. It can out-brake and out corner most of the muscle cars of that era. It looks like an economy hatchback so it flies under the radar of most of the police.

Where there is a will there is a way. Adaptation is the way of the universe...

Pretty sure Elon Musk recently stated there will NOT be enough available renewable energy to power the projected number of EVs. DOH! Of course that won’t stop “them”. What was that old saying? Something about “The best laid plans of mice and dumbasses.”.

Sadly, it's a safer investment than anything coming out of the U.S. government.

They put Mustang tail lights and a badge on a generic belly button car and called it a Mustang. No Imagination Auto Design for Dummies.
