1949-50's Uniscope. Look how they treated '100' graphically ? :

It has a special crawl ratio for that. Dammit, just like 80's pop, it has a purpose. I love it, and I'm not scared to say so!

No electric motor; pulled 76,000 lbs 82 feet:

CUV videos on top of this post and 1980s girley pop music in my head... Is this what my Friday nights look like in January of 2020?

Looks like the new Trailblazer excels at driving through parking lots.

Not a huge volume of Nash fans out there, but they certainly put a ton of unique thinking into their interiors in the '50s. 1955:

Tokyo Auto Salon sounds like a SEMA type event...that Suzuki off road van is pretty cool.

That's it. My next haircut: Eric Carmen in "Make Me Lose Control". The ladies will fall over.

Just wanted to do a simple calculation of cost per mile based on my location EV vs ICE. Correct me if I am wrong. The numbers are based were I live, I don't care what prices are in California or Washington. From my electric bill the electricity charge is about $0.13kWh with ALL the fees and charges (about $0.09 without). Today gas price in nearby Costco is $2.45 for regular. EV Kona rated for 26/31 kWh (city/highway) per 100 miles. For easier calculation lets take average of 28.5 kWh per 100 miles. So purely on energy/cost calculation it will cost me $3.71 to go 100 miles in EV Kona. ICE Kona MT used has 30.8mpg average fuel economy. So to go 100 miles in ICE Kona will take me 3.247 gallons which will cost me $7.96. Taking average of 12000 miles driving a year EV will cost $445.2 and ICE will cost $955.2. So just on fuel there is a saving of $510 a year on average. Of course there is a savings in maintenance, oil changes and brakes, however on a basic car they should not amount to more than $200-250 a year. Lets take $300. So to get back the extra investment of at least $10k on the price of the car with $800 savings a year will take at least 11-12 years. I like EVs and I think they are the future, but the bottom line TODAY they don't make sense financially.

As far as fleets, postal and parcel delivery seems like the use case where EVs could work the best. Lots of stop and go low speed daily use.
