    Electric Vehicles!

    I'm just the opposite. I'd like an EV without all the added tech and expense. Something with real gauges and switches, that goes when I depress the accelerator and stops when I step on the brake pedal. ...and while they're at it, slap some chrome bumpers and whitewall tires on mine! :D

    Electric Vehicles!

    We don't, but there is a house on our street with a solar panel roof. Thing with that, you can't directly use the power you generate. You have to sell it back to the power company and they in turn credit your next bill. Minus regulatory and administrative fees, of course. However, you can bypass...

    Electric Vehicles!

    Actually no, power comes from four 12V lead acid deep cycle batteries. Similar to those used in golf carts. Current price tag including freight, is right around $3000. Equivalent gas rider is about half that, but requires quite a bit more maintenance. NE corner of our homestead. Ignore the old...

    Electric Vehicles!

    Just shy of an acre. Thing is, there's over 20 mature oaks on the property and there's always twigs and other debris about. A regular mower just gets beat to death and the riders are always flipping belts. Thing that attracted me to this EV version, no belts. It has twin blades, each driven by...

    Your Daily Rant

    About 5 years ago give or take, we bought this walk behind string trimmer mower. An absolute beast worth every penny of the $300 we paid for it. Our property is such that a normal mower just wouldn't survive very long. Okay, so after 5 years of heavy use, the spindle bearings are about shot...

    Electric Vehicles!

    Apparently, this EV has been available in China since 2018! Who knew? It's called the Punk Cat from Ora motors. Rumor has it they'll be available outside China possibly by the end of the year and GM may be involved importing them. Hey, if that happens, sign me up! Always wanted a four door bug!

    Who decides what you believe?

    Me, through the sum total of my experience on the planet, both past and present. God. Just so happens Christianity checks all the right boxes for me, but not necessarily as defined by any particular division or denomination.

    How can there be a god?

    Yes, this is true. Elephants, chimps and such.

    How can there be a god?

    That's my point. You made up your mind on the subject long before posing the question and no answer to the contrary is going to meet with your approval. That's all well and good, but please understand, on a forum like this you're going to get faith based answers. You may not like all of them...

    How can there be a god?

    Yeah, my religious beliefs tend to fall outside that realm. ;) Anyway, who's to say animals don't have faith. Here's a shot of our other cat, Jackie taken a few years ago. Didn't pose him like that. He just wandered into our Mandir, stood at the alter with his front paws together for a few...

    Electric Vehicles!

    Yeah, Corvairs were never exported so few outside of Canada and the US have ever heard of them. Here's a recent pic of mine.

    How can there be a god?

    No, my wife is Hindu, but I'm Christian. Although, with no particular denomination or division attached to it. Some have even described me as a Hindu devotee of Christ. Quite a few Bible verses relating to animals in the hereafter. Interpretations vary though...

    Electric Vehicles!

    Never owned a VW camper, just always like them. My everyday car is actually a 58 year old Chevrolet, Corvair Convertible! Another rear engine car. Gets about 15 miles to the gallon on what's currently available at the pump, but I don't drive that much anymore.

    How can there be a god?

    Yes, I believe they do. Although, perhaps not in the same form they were on earth, as I also believe that reincarnation is entirely possible and that animals possess a soul.

    Electric Vehicles!

    I think I need something a little more substantial. Wish I was young enough and had the energy and money to convert my old heap. I'd do it in a heartbeat. As is, if I do get an EV, probably be a secondhand Nissan Leaf or something. I like the VW Buzz a lot, but that's a ways off yet.
