Does anyone else still prefer to drive their gas cars?

Barklikeadog's avatar is a big pickup truck. I highly doubt that gets 25mpg. Probably more like 15mpg.

Here's a picture I took at a gas line next to supercharger. I'm pretty sure my stop was shorter than their wait. Granted, gas lines are rare, but they to happen.

So do supercharger stations ..... Lately they feel like a homeless shelter waiting to get free food. It's a feeding frenzy with the model Y and 3s now. Just purchased a 2019 Ram 1500.... Honestly the Cybertruck betted be all they say it is because I really missed my ice vehicle. Don't even drive the Tesla much anymore

I forgot about this thread. Took the first road trip in a while this weekend. 250 miles each way. 24 on the way down, 23.7 on the way back. Sorry it's not 25mpg, but the back end was fully loaded. Gas was $1.60 per. What is that? $35 for the entire drive? not bad.

Ive never seen a gas line before.

I have a mode 3P, my plan is to sell my wife’s ICE and get a used leaf or something. Before anyone complains about that, her car gets driven maybe once a week, so it’s really just a secondary car with 2 children around adding to our needs.

however, I just bought an ICE for a play thing, likely to get a few drives a month with a slow restoration.

Art on wheels!

Pcool!

All original except a previous owner paint matched the wheels to the original body colour.

I’ll change them back to chrome or polished steel so I can put collector plates on the car.

The previous owner even tracked down the original owner after a few years and found the original radio.

Thanks! Can’t wait for it to get home so I can get to work on it.

Pcool!

That’s a new one for me, I might have to borrow that.

ICE cars just sound like lawnmowers to me now. I would happily never drive one again.

Well don't use that on a personalized plate or 99% of other drivers will think: . o O (Pee is cool? I don't get it)

XXXX NO!

 

[BlindPass]

Only great ones. Even something like the X3M now is annoying due to the lack of instant torque. The noise is great when just me, but comes off as trying too hard otherwise

 

[SDRick]

More noise, less torque, why bother!

Well, looks like we're looking at premature failure of gas engines in the next few years, perfect for the transition to EVs.

My 3 is going to the body shop next week and I’ll be stuck with a rental for up to a month. So not looking forward to this. I already expect my phantom right hand to instinctively reach for the gear shift stalk that isn’t there. Arrggh

I told you a million times not to exaggerate!

I have been known to walk away from ICE cars with the doors unlocked and on a few occasions the motor running. Habits are hard to break.

 

[Ol'Blue]

Do that to my wife’s car. I always hear the engine as I get out and think “WTF is that I’m hearing, I’m an idiot, left the motor on again”

Ao far, luckily, I’ve always caught it as I’m getting out and not completely forgotten.
