My first vehicle was a Willy's Jeep which either had no horn or it was non-functional. A few other of my whips definitely had nf horns. When the AZ basket cats won the championship in '97 I layed on the horn of my grand national so long that it died. The only other time I remember purposefully...

There are some features on vehicles that don't make a lot of sense to me. Paddle shifters being one of them. On an actual racecar or even available on a sports car sure. But a hybrid rav4? And why are horns still mandated? What life-or-death situation can it solve? I'd bet horn use CAUSES more...

I just learned from a product specialist (yeah, that exists) that they are, indeed, to select 1 of 4 regen strength settings. So, as you're slowing down, you can make it feel like you're down shifting. Can't get away from emulating inefficiency. They also creep when you let off the brake...

Depending on the day, I might not notice the ZA for a few days. I'm bugging nowhere. Solar is powering/charging everything and my gardening skills are increasing daily. I have friendly neighbors who like raising the livestock I can't stand. If there was a euro car within sight it had better be...

As a Toyota dealership employee I get to see the newest of the exceptionally mundane as they come off the transport trucks. The CH-R is back and all electric. Bigger than the previous version but I don't see it competing with the R2. I was reading the monroney and noted the 338 combined hp and...

Doesn't seem to be. I sent a message to a group, got a response from a member, sent a reply but it only went to that individual instead of the group. Maybe one day...

Downloading.

Right? I paid all the money for this phone, too. Why do I still have to pay Verizon half a car payment every month?

Clearly, all reservations won't stick. The CT isn't a great example since the original promised price was under $40k and the first trucks were more than twice that whereas the $45k R2 promised price is only off by $12k. Surely some will want/have to hold out for the less expensive trim levels...

Yep. And somehow convince them you've been there for years.

My algorithm says first non-employee customer deliveries will be on June 4. So if you receive one of the first 3500 units after that you're golden. The caveat is there's no hard data in my algorithm.

I owned a bodyshop for 20+ years and heard so many of the "I wish I had kept that car" stories that I don't get rid of any that I like. Still have 68 camaro, 89 TTA, 98 TJ. And none of those compare to the R1T. He who dies with the most toys wins. I'm only competing with a select few, tho.

Just received notice of a settlement I was unknowingly a part of. Early retirement for me! Lol! I, of course, didn't notice the $2.71 applied to my account. I think I'll sue the lawyers for keeping my current lot of shares depressed because of their money grab. Honestly, is any class action...

This morning it became clear that my R1T that's better than most vehicles in almost every way is actually worse that almost every other vehicle on extremely slippery surfaces. Downhill offramp with a very tight 100° right at the bottom. 23° F and icy. Maybe 15 mph and slowing. Start to turn in...

I was in low regen which is the default in snow mode. There really is no level low enough to facilitate a recovery. Some slides are simply unrecoverable. Freewheeling is the fastest way to regain traction. I'm sure there's a math formula for the whole thing. I was made aware of a simple fact...
