I sometimes think of a discussion we were having at the table at my uncle's house in Italy. His daughter - my cousin - had a neighborhood dog that became hers and that her teens liked. He said that they like people alright, but probably prefer other dogs to people. It turns out that they like their humans more. They were a newborn with its mother and littermates. If you got the dog after that, you've become their "parent" in every which way, especially if they've chosen you as their person.

Yeah, I think the whole point is to have something unique hence the EV conversion. Saving money and 50 year old car never go together. Yes, we view cats as cute and cuddly when they are in fact deadly killers of small animals. Cats and dogs view us as parents, even though we are radically different species. Perception is often quite different from reality. With animals and people. A good factual take on this accident... Europe ain't gonna catch up with the US or Asia in terms of build quality. That being said, my son has a Triumph motorcycle, his girlfriend has a BMW, my daughter has an Audi, my son in law has a BMW, and they are all fairly reliable. If I didn't hike, haul lumber, and have a general use for a truck I would still happily own a VW GTI.

An Eldorado revival would be nice, with a V-series Blackwing version w/ the CT5-V Blackwing powertrain...

@Robert Hall I would so love this Cadillac if it was actually available in EV format. Cadillac Should Revive The Eldorado To Rival Mercedes-Benz, Porsche - Autoblog AI Generated Image - Ice Version AI Generated EV version

A friend of mine has had two VW Golf Rs... loved them, but traded up to a Tiguan since he got married and got two big dogs...

It would take A LOT of gasoline to equal the price of an EV motors/batteries swap though.

Way less expensive and responsible than feeding a 455 c.i. V8 I might ascribe poorly socialized Pit Bulls and Rottweilers, complete with spikes on their collars, to lesbians ... at least the rougher ones. But, yes, the more introverted lesbians might be cat ladies, along with their straight eccentric and neurotic older female counterparts.

Heh heh..watching this video now while I eat lunch..I follow the Pole Barn Garage, he always has fun low buck builds of worn out cars..
