Hhhmmm... so Cali is going to ban the selling of non-EV cars in a couple of years.
Today Cali is telling EV owners not to charge their cars this afternoon.
Anybody see a problem with all this?
Oh, I see a lot of problems with that.
But we don't talk about such things anymore.

Wasn't long ago you could snag a 996 Turbo for 30s. I wish I had bought a one-owner Turbo with less than 50K miles in Atlanta. I think the guy was only wanting $34K. It was manual too. He was retired and babied the car. Ugh! Same thing goes for the GT cars. I once saw a listing for a mint (less than 10K miles) guards red GT2. Look like it just rolled off the factory line. The guy only wanted $89K at the time. Now those cars go for $150K or more. GT3, same thing... you could snag those all day long for 50-60s. Not anymore. Sweet cars and totally understand buyers remorse.
Damn, I wish I had your sources! I would have had a GT3 at that price! Lowest I ever saw them was $80k.

Agreed. To all of you folks still laboring I hope you had the day off with family and/or friends doing things that are enjoyable to you.
To all you old retired bastigeds I hope you had your normal peaceful day.

These absolutely accurate, in no way fudged fuel economy stats brought to you by Volkswagen AG / Porsche AG
Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.
Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

This was the view from Big Bear last night. Things seemed much less grim this AM, but still 0% containment

Two questions:
How far is that away?
Is the road fixed to get up there?

Just in case you wondered. Here's what 79#'s of meth looks like. Traffic stop on I80 just east of Lincoln.
