I was shocked to see this about cars...

How far do you typically drive in one day? 300 miles for me was about a week. Easily rechargeable overnight. On a trip somewhere? Quick charge stations are all around. By the time you pull over to piss and get coffee you're charged

Didn't you hear bro? Embracing new technology means you want to eat bugs and vote democrat. If you're not driving an F150 you're part of the problem.

I drive 200 miles two to three times a week. Otherwise I drive 60.

And then I go on trips which are 900-1600 miles. I don’t want to stop for 8 hours every 300 miles. It would take a month to get anywhere or do anything.

Maybe some day, but electric cars haven’t gotten there yet. Maybe for big city people, but not people in ritual areas or suburbs.

And not us who enjoy long distance road trips.

On a site where you'll probably find more SHTF types than average, I can't believe there are people who want to rely on the grid to charge their vehicles.

A few years ago the talk was "Why doesn't Chevy come up with a four door Camaro?" Now it's Ford with the Mustang. It's like the auto industry wants to cater to the market that has sons/grandsons of fathers/grandfathers that drove real muscle/sports cars. Except this "younger generations wants to feel like they're driving bad-ass cars but need the room in the back for the child seats, dog, cooler, and tablet screens in the back of the front seat to keep the kids satisfied. A new category of "Muscle Family Green" cars.

When I see a two door Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger, I can see the lineage of their ancestral DNA, it warms my heart. These four door abominations degrade and defame their badges. What's next, a four door Corvette?

Dodge pulled it off with the Charger, as did Chrysler with the 300C. Hell, Dodge had a hot rod wagon before the Charger.

I really wanted a 4dr Hemi Charger when they were introduced, but couldn't bear the thought of the quality that would come with it.

So you wanna like be Amish or what then dude? Or just troll people on the internet about the evils of technology while you then proceed to post memes like a middle school chick? I mean seriously, what exactly is your position, because you don't seem to have one.

Internal combustion is amish now? I guess I better start growing my beard since Ill never buy a soulless EV that ties me to a grid thats prone to failure, packed with technology thats easily hacked or remotely bricked, for an false globalist agenda about protecting the environment.

Hows that for a position.

How much gas do you have stocked up? Do you know what the shelf life of gas is when not stored properly?

At least with an EV you could charge it from your solar panels if you had to.

Not to mention, they don't break down like engines do. They require basically no maintenance. So if you had an off grid prepper wet dream kind of place with all solar and an EV, you would be good for like 20 years, vs. everyone else who would run out of gas in a month or less, or have said gas become useless after a year or two.

It's the same mentality bro. The Amish stopped progressing at an arbitrary point of technological advancement, and that's basically what you're advocating, for reasons I don't think you yourself even understand. Technology is neutral. It's your perceived use case for the tech that you don't like, and that's 100% about the political direction we're going, which isn't going to change even if we halted technological advancement.

As far as being tied to a grid that's prone to failure, ask the people in the northeast how that's working out for them. I imagine the people with EVs up there are laughing their asses off every time they drive by a gas station with a 12 hour line.

Not really that into cars, but if these new things are electric muscle cars, do they have a chip or something to make the sound cool?

Was riding with my brother in his Eco-boost F150 a few years back. At one point the exhaust note sounded really bizarre, didn't match how he was driving at all. I give him a "What the hell was that??" and he tells me that Ford pipes in the V8 sound on the V6s now.
Besides that, I was really impressed with the capabilities of that truck.
