They are great vehicles. We took a day trip in one this summer with a couple of guys and were happy in the back seat. Wife has a 3, which she loves and we tried to get daughter interested in a CX-30, but it was too conventional for her.

Same.

My wife has patched everything except the insulated undershirt which I have numerous of. She even patched my insulated tights which are at least 20 years old. :)

You need a Rivian truck.

I'm a big believer in wagons/hatchbacks for the utility, but I think we'll have to settle for a small SUV because 'Murica. And yeah, so many things that I'd rather pay for than a car, but they do make themselves pretty damn useful, at times.

Patching stretchies takes some skill. Any pics?

Wife woke up early this morning with mild fever and achiness. I took a Viagra to try to cure her, but alas it didnt work. .

Well, the master abators are here. They are in hazmat suits with respirators, but they're bashing away at the tile with hammers and just letting it fall. Don't see any 6 mil plastic on the ground, just a taped-off perimeter. As our siding guy said, it's a racket and all about the piece of paper. There is no restriction on what the home owner can do with this stuff either. I guess it's not too dangerous, being in a cement matrix and all...:rolleyes:

EV6 is a pretty neat car. I'll tell you, there is nothing better than simply plugging in to recharge. No gas stations on cold mornings.

Only thing is I'd think long and hard before buying an EV if you will ever travel with it. Great as a second car or one used solely around town.

That's a bampilot move

:roflmao2:

Thought about it.


I love the idea of a truck, and if my daughter keeps riding horses then I am sure we would buy a horse in the future. Can’t tow a horse with a mini van.

My job requires a lot of driving though, and I don’t want to do that in a truck. Also don’t want to drive a truck just to go to the store. So I don’t know what I will do, great thing is I don’t have to figure this out now.

Havnt hurt a jacket yet.

She used a combo of sticky patches and iron-on patches. The only stretch fabric that she patched were my tights and I doubt that it will stay long term.

Edit: Doubt that the insulated jersey is going to hold up, either.

But is the bike okay?

Couldnt ride this morning. Had to take my van to safelite for a new windshield. Crack was about 14 inches long. As I was driving this morning the crack expanded lighting fast the whole length of the windshield.


Hoping to get a ride in around lunch time.

My wife is doing her best. Driving to the city almost everyday, and mixing it up with strangers. Am I the only one who thinks that the female of the species is an odd creature? I mean her rationale just makes no sense. But to her it's adamant that she get it done yesterday. All for a meeting that won't take place due to Covid.

We would plan on it being an only car and would travel with it. That in mind, the range and charging speed is what makes it attractive (and potentially viable) in ways that previous gen EVs weren't. We would certainly need to be more deliberate about planning, but I've chatted with my EV-owning friends about apps/online resources that calculate the road trip minutiae and assist with routes, charging locations/durations, etc, and it seems like it's within the realm of possibility. I mean, the reality is that 400 miles between stops isn't feasible with my wife and two kids, anyway, and pit stops are always longer than I'd like; a planned recharge stop of a half hour might actually be a stress reliever rather than a stress raiser.

Yes. I think so, anyway.

Cold shower for you then?

Last night at band I noticed the extremely overweight female that I'm sitting next to seemed to have laboured breathing after we played for a stretch. Not sure if I just noticed that, or if it's new.

Either way. :twitchy:

They should give her a long solo……

LSS works out in the pool at Walter Reed three times a week and frequently shops at the exchange and Whole Foods on the way home. If we get it I'm blaming her.

The furthest we generally travel by car is ~200 miles from one house to the other so it’s right in the wheelhouse of an EV. Plus the same w/ kids and stops on longer trips. Crap, if we can make it the 3.5 hours to Marblehead without stopping bits a miracle.
