Those would suffice and they'll need to expand like none other if you're going to have thousands of people unable to charge from home, like everybody strongly advocating the move to EVs. The super fast charging is what degrades batteries the quickest. They should only really be used when absolutely needed.

I highly doubt these homes were built for tax dollars. They're all porbably 100-75 years old brick buildings. SOME of them are extremely nice and completely renovated..but they still have street parking. Okay... probably more like 50-75 years old..

Ahhh, thank you!

Here's an example I think @balthazar is talking about. This is a neighborhood south of STL. It isn't super low income but it isn't filled with people making great money either. It's all street parking. Where are they going to charge? Where will these wireless chargers come from? Does the township plan to bury chargers all along the streets?

I thought E85 was known to clog stuff up... I'm probably wrong though.

You've never heard of an "Italian tune up"? "If you've never heard the phrase "Italian tune up" before, basically, it means driving your car hard and bringing it to redline with the goal of flushing out any deposits or gunk. Depending on what you believe, it works... or it doesn't. Jason Fenske of Engineering Explained is here to settle the debate once and for all." https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/buying-maintenance/a23778262/italian-tune-up-explained/

You also can't get the 6.2 or 5.0 in any base trims. The Camaro you have to get the LT1 trim which is above 1LS, 1LT, 2LT, and 3Lt. The Mustang packaging is a little more difficult to compare but it is similar to the base 2.3. It adds some interior goodies the base 2.3 doesn't have like powered seats and reverse sensing system...not a whole lot more inside. You're pretty much paying for the engine, suspension, differential, wheels, and some exterior things like a rear diffuser and spoiler. There's a lot more available to option up but, that's another story. Completely understandable. Wow, that's a GREAT commercial.

FWIW, the Camaro 1LE can't be in base trim(1LS). It has to be a 1LT trim or higher to add the 1LE package. Also, base for base, 25k Camaro vs 27k Toyota 86GT.. Add the Toyota TRD Handling Package($2,320) brings it to $29,380. 1LT Camaro + 1LE = $30,995 before any rebates..which they manage to automatically include when building so it's actually a little tricky to price. They show you the after rebate price with "$1500 cash allowance" of $29,495. I just know I would absolutely rather have a 2.0T Camaro with the 1LE package over the 86GT and I can't imagine the "driving experience" is any better in the 86GT. I've never heard a bad thing about the Alpha platform cars when it comes to handling. Nice! Congrats, my man! Where do you live that you preferred 2WD over 4WD? I do think the locking rear diff makes 2WD surprisingly capable and better off than 4WD with two open diffs.

You bought a new Ranger???

I actually just bought a set of Nito Motivos three weeks ago from a local chain, AutoTire(parent company is a national chain though so it's only "local"). I was about to buy the tires from TireBuyer and have them shipped to them. I called in advance to ask about the process and he told me they can beat their prices if I bought them directly through them. I told them what my TireBuyer quote was and they beat it by $4/tire. Not a ton but install was $19/tire so it was basically one free installation, I'll take it. $660 out the door with an alignment check(no adjustments needed or it would have been an additional $85).

When you're rating, you're never pulling from 1500rpm anyway. You don't need much torque in a car that's on a racetrack. it would benefit from a fatter mid-range but it doesn't need much from 1500-3000rpm for a racing series. Look at F1 cars if you're doubting that fact.

For that kind of money you can easily find a 2.0 or 3.6 Camaro(probably with the 1LE package as well) or 2.3 Mustang. A 1LE 2.0T Camaro can be had for $29,500. 1LE 3.6 Camaro can be had for $32,100. The 2.3 EcoBoost Mustang can be had with the "high performance package"(I thought it was just "performance package" in the past) for $32,300. I do understand this Toyota is probably as loaded up as it can get so with the Mustang and Camaro adding the performance packages for those prices, you're definitely in lesser trims. It's unfortunate because I think the Toyota LOOKS like a perfect alternative to the MX-5, as I'm not a fan of convertibles. It just sucks it has an engine not really worthy of the vehicle. It doesn't so much need more horsepower or even toque, it just needs to be a more rev happy engine that inspires aggressive driving. I think it is extremely attractive. I would absolutely like to drive one and they're probably quite a bit of fun. The downside to me is extracting more power out of them. I remember watching a full detailed video about modifying them and dynoing them after each common aftermarket part and with like a tune, intake, and exhaust, they only got like 10whp out of it. They just don't respond well to common aftermarket parts and pretty much need boost to really add any power. That would be a huge downside to me. It isn't wicked quick and I wouldn't be going for some 400hp Toyota 86 or whatever, but I'd like to be able to get like 225-250WHP. That would be properly quick for the size of car.

Straight to the heart strings there... ?

I LOVE the use of blues here!

I'm okay with a very light interior as long as it is accented with darker colors. I would never want an interior as light as the above pictures G-Wagen.

What are you talking about? There is more than one vehicle with some red interior. You're looking at ONE 50's car. I doubt every 50's car had all sorts of color choices, I could be wrong.

It looks terrible in the animated pictures. I'm curious what it looks like in person. It certainly wouldn't be towards the top of my list but at least they give you more than black, grey, and lighter grey as options.

Gotta get maximum light for Olds, so he doesn't feel like he's in a prison.

There are 23 other options, you don't have to get black and green.

Getcha a Mercedes. You get a nice palette even on the little GLC300. You even get these choices on the GLA. Spend the big bucks and you can almost get anything you want.

The Bolt has a terrible shape to it and this looks the exact same.. EDIT: I didn't realize that was a video of it morphing. It certainly is different and better.

You do realize there is an aftermarket for BOTH engines.. Comparing the Diesel to the base engine..not the most popular V6. While they both cost the same to drive 25 miles, the diesel will be a WAY better experience than the n/a 2.5, 4 banger.

My dad is in a similar driving situation with his Tacoma. 2012 and it has around 45,000 miles on it. He only lives 3 miles from work and when him and my mom go places they usually take her car as it gets better mileage. She had a 2012 Fusion and just a few months ago got a 2020 RAV4 TRD. It's a pretty dang sweet little CUV. The ONLY thing it doesn't have that I'd want is a more powerful engine. It's pretty loaded up for not being the top trim. I'm not really sure what the top trim really adds to what they have. Theirs has heated and cooled seats, lane keeping assist, radar cruise control, a rearview mirror like Caddy's that acts as a camera when you flip the switch, and of course their neat off road touches like crawl control and hill hold. Daaaamn, so like ONE TANK OF GAS?!? I average about 12,000 per year. I think the average american is in the 12,000-15,000 range.
