You and me both. With this humidity being so oppressive I’m glad I upgraded to central air back in 2016. It use to take 3 large window units to do my house and they were so inefficient. On the V8 in the garage thing, it’s only the big, iron block V8 in the Toronado that I notice the heat creep from. It was never an issue with the CTS or the 300. The Avalanche is too big to fit.

Yeah, that face is a mess. The interior looks like a Mazda interior bought on Wish to me. -
I will probably do it sooner rather than later because I expect to start getting press cars again shortly and a good chunk of them are EVs. Lucky for me the L2 install will be just about as easy as can be. The total run from the panel will be less than 4 feet and when I upgraded the panel in 2016, I accounted space for eventually having an EV.

Lead foot. Same engine in my bigger, heavier Avalanche gets 13-14 around town and 18-20 highway. This does happen to me too, but my garage is in my basement and the heat has nowhere to go but up. That said, I have a well insulated stone house and excellent HVAC, so it’s only an issue if the A/C isn’t on.

So you’ll see me working on current news going forward, but also I will be working back in time to post stories that I missed. I have the ability to back-date articles, so no need to adjust your set, they will be dated appropriately for when the news came out. It may look a bit weird at first, but it will fill things in for the last 3 months of news.

At the moment they don’t make one in the configuration Albert wants, except for Genesis and that’s a bit pricey for us right now. He might be convinced into an Ioniq 6, but he really wants to go back to an SUV. Honda Prologue and Mustang Mach-E are the two best contenders right now. I do have a reservation on a Rivian R2, but that’s several years away.

The Mustang Mach-E is on my watch list as a potential replacement for the 300C. My only hesitation is the lack of a heat pump, but I don't think that will be an issue for its primary duties.

Mazda News: Mazda CX-50 Gains a Hybrid Powertrain for 2025
Drew Dowdell replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Mazda
Both Mazda and Toyota have excellent maintenance costs. I don't expect there will be any meaningful difference over an ICE model. -
