What is going to be interesting is with all these sales of electric vehicles coming up.  What are they going to do in the way of charging stations.  Seems Tesla has that down to a science and has tons around.    They are smart and putting charging stations in with big gas convenient marts.  At least here, like Sheetz has a bunch of them.  Smart too, since those stopping to top off can get a bite to eat and drink. 

 

The one close to me has the super charger which is the best.

 

I also read that the average house doesn't have a big enough electrical panel to go the more efficient route of charging and not to mention the electrical grid not being able to support it.  All things I have read and thought it was interesting.

Probably should change the panel holding the balls against the "firewall?" to a headstone, RIP V-8, V-6, good old fashioned American horsepower. You will be missed!!!

i drove by a PepBoys today, and its completly gutted, except for tires and install area, and a small office

I have a nagging feeling we Non-EV owners might be loosing access to autoparts here in California after Newsome declared a total ban on gas powered engines in a couple years. this goes hand in hand with GM and Ford buying out most all the junkyards so no access to old car parts anymore..

I’m not there yet with total electric. I’ll never be down with cylinder deactivation. The powerboost I can see that.

Saw a guy in his mid twenties today at a Casey's quick mart in an early 2000 ish Malibu that was in real nice shape. I asked him how he liked it. Fine he says. He'd bought it with 125K miles on the clock and has driven it 2 years with..get this...zero maintenance and zero issues. Yea...not even an oil change. 

 

"V6?", I ask.

"No idea" he replies sliding behind the wheel. 

"That's about to change" I quip. I get a look. "The no issues part" moron is whispered in my head. 

 

Yea....we're in trouble.....

There’s people learning hard lessons right about now. So it’ll change. My first car was a rotary. It was a blast. We always have a couple of vehicles one could be electric. If the price was right. My wife and I drive under electric cars range a week. With the exception of our trips east. So it would be down to cost.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Starting at 17 running parts for my father’s construction business to haul our equipment. Eventually doing shows, sales and training after purchase. I drove a minimum of 50K miles a year. Half hauling something. After retiring 30K miles a year to the last 2 years 15K miles a year. 2/3rds highway driving. The major contribution to fatigue for me is from anticipation and awareness. I just don’t relax. Too many idiots on the road. There’s two kinds. The group that never leave the left lane tied together afraid to let anyone in doing 80. They’re mostly on weekends. Then the left lane sleepers usually next to a tractor trailer not advancing. Eventually the tractor trailer will drift over the sleeper will wake up. The train moves and the tailgaters who are usually mad as hell. You definitely don’t want to mix with them. The tail wagging bumper puller’s with under powered trucks are holding the tractor trailer up. That bunch are dangerous. I usually pace ahead all that. Unless there’s a gap when I can chill and let the speeders pass. I tried all different types of driving. I stay to the right except to pass, it’s the law that’s getting in forced more now because of road rage. I was so happy when my wife didn’t want to do the camping life. I had enough of pulling for work. The family has a bus and fifth wheel. I haven’t driven either one since retiring. No thanks.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yesterday a suggested youtube video thumbnail caught my attention so I watched through it and it was a bunch of short clips someone gathered together of people pulling trailers, a lot of them were bumper pull holiday trailers and a pickup or suv pulling it. a few fifth wheels as well, some motorhome crashes also. The tail wagging the dog theme was quite evident in numerous self inflicted accidents that took out vehicles around them sometimes in the process as the unit finally swung around and flipped over in the middle of the highway. Or the other classic which literally could be called "I forgot the trailer was back there" in passing another vehicle on a multi lane one way freeway and then cutting back in line before the back of the rv trailer had passed the front of the passed vehicle and often in front of a tractor trailer and that never ended well. Or the wide kick out swing of the rear of a long travel trailer as they have so much overhang behind the axles and the trailer smashes into the side of vehicles in the next lane over ( typically sharp turns in city driving ). It makes one leery for good reason to be near an RV trailer after watching a video like that and be it on the highway, in town, or at a gas station where that rear end comes swinging around due to the fuel station being so cramped and not intended for larger trailers. I wonder how many officers have heard those words though "I forgot it was back there" as they investigate the accident LOL.

      Just because a person can buy a travel trailer or a motorhome doesn't mean they can drive it properly. My observation during my RVing years.
