I totally get the buy and hold for ten years thing. My wife and I do the same thing. I hope to keep my Bolt 10 years. My last car I held for 12 years before buying the Bolt and still have it because it does the one thing the Bolt can't. The top goes down. However, an electric car is significant...

I dare you- buy the Tesla now and then get back to us in a few months and see which vehicle is your main transport. I bet you that truck sits. So much so, that you'll force yourself to drive it just to keep exercised. If both vehicles have to be used daily, you will argue over who has to drive...

Memes are funny and all, but they rarely speak the truth. That is not a diesel generator, but rather a battery pack. It is a battery charging another battery. The van is gas powered... for now. In the near future, OAMTC, the Austrian company providing the service expects to switch to electric...

You may be saf_er, but you are NOT safe. Bare in mind, this modern miracle you fly around in can easily kill you and your family in the right conditions. Just because you bought a Cirrus does not mean you now have the same risk as flying on commercial airlines, or even your car. It just means...

Please support this claim of poor piloting dominating the Cirrus ranks. Sounds like stereotype hyperbole to me.

This is a knowable fact thanks to the internet. According to the NTSB, 9 people have died in a Meyers 200. It sounds like a pretty good stat until you realize how many were made and how many are actually flying. I see these birds from time to time in my travels, but when was the last time you...

This all depends on what you value in an airplane. FAR superior is pretty questionable.

I almost guarantee this guy said exactly the same thing before the crash. I'd be curious to get his opinion after the crash. I also seriously question your assertion that as long as you crash a Mooney in a "normal" attitude, it will be the same as the chute. The chute's record is pretty...

This is why manufacturers and consumers alike are realizing that parachutes for the whole plane are a good idea. I guess we have no idea what really went wrong here, but I wonder if this buyer might be second guessing his decision to pass on a Cirrus. I know I would.

I get that. I think I am vastly different from most of regular forum posters in that I don't think useful load is the end all and be all of an airplane. I have no need to fill all the seats, fill the tanks all the way up, pack the baggage compartment full and then fly as far as I can go. However...

Maybe so, but all I know is one can buy this airplane, factory built, retractable gear, constant speed prop, turbo engine, runs on MOGAS and out performs my Mooney in every category except passenger seats, useful load, baggage area and range. It takes off shorter, climbs faster, cruises faster...

Not to create too much thread drift... but why do most of today's car have to look like ****?

Me too. I love vintage cars and this was a completely pointless exercise. Duh. The fifty year old car was worse. How much did they spend on this useless waste?? I hate this video.

Who cares? Does it make your penis look bigger? That's the main thing. :D

Just a heads up. Montana and Idaho are HUGE either move to, or buy second home states for Northern Californians (ie crap loads of tech money). If you lean left, you go to Montana. If you lean right, you go to Idaho. I'm not kidding. These two states for whatever the reason are very trendy.

Oh, that is SO different!! The Cub is SOooo awesome!! :rolleyes::D

Paying for it's upkeep and operation.

Crap. I fly AA a lot. Please AA, try to screen the douchebags out. I don't care about the military heroics. I want mentally stable and rational people to be my captain.

Great. Just when the world really, really could use more nuclear power, they come out wth this hit piece to make sure we never get it and continue burning fossil fuel until they run out, or we're dead. Thanks HBO. :mad:

Well, off the grid doesn't have to mean no A/C.
