Never got the speed thing
Eman says
Al_Sharpton_for_President says
When I first came to the US, I loved the Camaro Iroc Z. The seller wanted $8k for a slight used, low mileage, in mint condition car. I was a HS kid with no money. Happened to see another guy driving a Camaro with the license plate frame “Pony Killer”. 🤣
My first car was a brand new red 1987 Mustang GT with a T-top. It only took me 3 days to get my first ticket...$500.

I don't really speed above the limit, I just accelerate to the speed limit as fast as possible at every opportunity. With a Tesla, you can do that without making loud engine noise, burning your tires out or smoking your brakes. You can have so much fun driving aggressively (legally) and doing it stealthy without being an obnoxious douche and waking up the neighborhood.
IT NEVER GETS OLD. At least for me.
That, and I have tons of hills and fun roads to drive on in my area. Can't stand climbing hills in my wife's Hyundai as it downshifts and struggles...
Like Business Insider, Edmunds got caught with bad journalism. MSM knows anything relates to Tesla and/ot Elon will generate tons of clicks. Was it an honest mistake, or was it a click bait? 🤷♂️

There were dents allover the truck. Met my wife (GF then) when I was still driving it.
Show me any car on the market today more beautiful than this restomod. A car like this is as reliable as a car made in 2024 and will feel like a modern one too.
Yup, the instant torque is addictive

What’s the skidpad and weight distribution? I used to own a Miata. Not fast but perfectly balanced with a decent skidpad - taking curves was a blast, especially with the manual trans.

I consider 60s era restomods as art. Some people see beauty in different things...paintings, furniture, houses, jewelry, vases etc.

Yup, the instant torque is addictive. It never gets old, and it puts a smile on our face every time we drive it. Going up the hills, dead stop and we can just zoom off the moment we can go again without any struggles. Being able to zip in stealth mode is fun. NoMoICE.

i live in a country. electric mowers and tractors are nonstarter. they don’t last, charge forever, it stalls across the field, you are fucked, go tow damn thing.
tech needs to be improved a lot. right now i see those as just fun toys for people in the city with spare change.

The EV will let you know how much battery life is left so you don't get stranded. Unlike a golf cart, if it’s about to die due to technical reason, it will let you know too.
I see an old car, and I see nothing but troubles.

It's because you simply don't know or understand what's possible to achieve with these vehicles and the huge market built around this hobby.
I’m a consumer, and I want trouble free cars.
Wife took the photo. I told her should we get one for our garage? She said nooo. I’m setting her up so when I can get the Tesla Roadster at a fraction of the cost with much much lower maintenance cost when the time comes.

Again, you're missing it. These vehicles are trouble free.
I didn’t grow up with them so I don’t know them. Also, I don’t know how to fix cars other than oil change and repair flat tires.

Maybe she wants her pickup man back, and is playing you to get an old, dented truck.

Did you grow up with EVs? There's an entire industry surrounding these types of vehicles...for repairs and maintenance just like any other car. They're beautiful, hold their value and all of them are 1 offs.
Classic cars aren't a corporation. A group of investors (classic cars are also an investment), collectors and enthusiasts basically make up the market. Reggie Jackson is one of the most famous collectors and started collecting at the perfect time...when hardly anyone was thinking about them.
Maybe some of the first EVs will be worth millions some day?
