Well...the S2000 needed more doors, more driven wheels, and a lot more torque...

That's what that dude gets for driving like an idiot.

I don't have an S2k anymore though.

Agreed on idiot, sad for the poor S2K. I know the Honda is gone, but it's in the thread title.

Looks like an AP1

He avoided the collision, I don't understand why he pointed himself into the other lane.
Also, first thing you do when you slam on brakes is LOOK THE FUCK BACK.

My guess is he didn't realize the wheel was still turned to the left. Turned wheel + wrong gear/no torque + traffic bearing down = bad time

Hey Tesla people!

Here's what you are missing!!!

Yes, gas is too high. (this is 91 octane Premium with a .70 cent per gallon discount) It is what it is.

Money is a theoretical thing.

Spend it on the things that make you happy and don't on the things that don't. That's why we buy/sell cars all the time.

If I lived in Cali I'd have an EV too probably, but I'm guessing that was the plan.

My asshole brother is still in Santa Monica, it gives me perverse pleasure that he's paying those prices.

Shame he has a Prius & Solara convertible, I wish he still had his Expedition.

I'm not delaying this any longer than I have to lol. The last major decision is all seasons vs all terrains...I'm thinking AT's just for the look more so than anything else.

Good treadlife, some offroad ability and doesn't sound like muddy butthole on the highway.

Just spoke with the Rivian guy, we are 4-6 weeks out for delivery, maybe less. He's going to give me access to the existing vehicle inventory in case there's one I want to go with off of that in between now and when my truck goes into production.

Not much longer to wait!

Welp, turns out this was a terrible idea. Should have sold it back then before the values took a nosedive. Basically went from a guaranteed $65k to now a maybe $50k-$55k.

Looks like I'll have to front a lot more cash for the Rivian than initially thought so this should be fun.

Got a higher capacity charger put in the new house. Old one was 20A, new one is 50A in anticipation for the gigantic battery in the Rivian.
