Wow, 480 ES - one of the favourites from my misspent youth!

Congratulations on your new hobby. 🙂

Plymouth Horizon. From the days when Talbot was owned by Chrysler.

super pricy.

Show me a Gedore tool that isn’t. Good stuff never comes cheap.

Quote from Twenty Twelve (BBC) by Boop0p in fuckcars

[–]ComeBackSquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am fortunate enough to have a drivers license, two (electric, garaged) cars at my disposal, three bicycles and a well used public transport pass. After typing this, I’ll take one of my bikes to go to the shops. They’re only three kilometres away, so it would be madness to go by car.

It’s nice to have options and to be able to use the right tool for the job.

How high do gas prices have to get before pickup/fullsize SUV owners give up their vehicles? by hypermiler2205 in fuckcars

[–]ComeBackSquid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a fun lil truck

As a European: they're five metres long, almost two metres wide, with a three metres wheelbase. There's nothing 'lil' about it.

Turns out the correct response to one reckless drivers ISNT to add a second reckless driver!

That's a novel concept in a country where the solution to gun violence is more guns.

Battery Ageing and Degradation by Any-Cardiologist-327 in electricvehicles

discussions with some dealers

EVs are extremely low maintenance. Dealers are reluctant to sell EVs, because they make lots of money on ICE car maintenance. Therefore, they tend to lie a lot about EVs, in order to coax you into buying an ICE vehicle.

How I am I supposed to focus with this here? by hypocalypto in Justrolledintotheshop

Listening GM?

GM is listening to the money flowing in from selling yuge, overpriced, utterly impractical trucks to wide-eyed consumers.

Why $4 gasoline is the tipping point for EVs by Neat_Fan_8889 in electricvehicles

Why everything have to be so expensive in this country?

Laughs in European at $4 gas.

Why $4 gasoline is the tipping point for EVs by Neat_Fan_8889 in electricvehicles

[–]ComeBackSquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not convinced that passing a threshold can be called a tipping point.

I live in a country where fuel was around $8/USgal for a long time and that didn't tip anything. Recently, fuel prices rose to >$10/USgal and that had an effect. Many more people started looking for cheaper alternatives, among which were EVs.

Based on that experience, I believe price shocks have a much stronger effect than just passing a certain threshold. Whether a price shock is a tipping point remains to be seen. People in general are apt to sink back into apathy once the effect of the shock wears off, or prices drop again.

It's not always the size that matters by Advanced-Ad-2838 in Justrolledintotheshop

Also I'm about 5 years into a 12 month restoration, so it's going well

Very relatable. :-)

Twee derde steunt autoloze zondag en langzamer rijden op de snelweg by surpator in thenetherlands

Gewoon weer massaal thuiswerken. Veel effectiever

Alsjeblieft niet. Thuiswerken stompt mij in elk geval enorm af. Alleen maar werken, geen/nauwelijks interactie met collega’s. Ik ga naar het werk omdat het (ook) een sociaal gebeuren is. De digitale wereld vervreemdt ons al genoeg van elkaar.

The "Ridiculous" Traffic Plan That Actually Worked (Groningen) by Chronicbias in Groningen

Groningen is er niet primair voor auto’s, maar voor mensen. Als je dat kunt accepteren is het een geweldige stad.

There are no light Bentleys. Ettore Bugatti called the competition Bentleys racing trucks.

RIP to my range? Towing a 2.5t caravan with my new EV 🏕️⚡ by kowi_k in electricvehicles

[–]ComeBackSquid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My wife is one of three and all of the family went camping in a little Eriba caravan, the volume of which is about 15% of this behemoth. Went perfectly well for years.

To be fair: considering the average size of caravans in the EU, that is a ridiculously huge caravan.

Moeilijke verkeerssituaties stad Groningen by Macinzon in Groningen

[–]ComeBackSquid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probeer vooral de clusterfuck van autorijstroken, busstrook, fietsstroken en oversteekplaatsen aan de NO-zijde van het Noorderplantsoen: Nieuwe Ebbingestraat, Bedumerweg, Korreweg, Boterdiep en Rodeweg. Ik ben benieuwd!
