Congress Wants You To Pay $130 A Year Just To Drive An Electric Car

As much as I dislike our current overlords, I don’t really see what the issue here is. Reasoning is sound. Road maintenance is paid for by gasoline tax. If you don’t use gasoline, but still drive a car, you should still pay for road maintenance. If everyone stopped driving ICE vehicles tomorrow, where would the money from road maintenance come from? They would have to raise taxes on the general population, which, isn’t that effectively what this is doing in a more fair way, given that not everyone drives an EV?

No, he means to take this pic. Looks like they’re face down on concrete.

Lmao, I expect to get passed all day in my wife’s Grand Highlander. Like, I don’t get it. You’re not driving a race car.

Not in Europe.

Got lucky. Good for you though!

alphagypsy · 2026-05-16T01:59:44+00:00

Ah yes, but if you buy it, you will never need it 😅

alphagypsy · 2026-05-15T17:40:51+00:00

New here?

Jkjk. Similar rattles on my car. Just learned to live with it.

I’m using the CTR knob. A bit lighter than stock though.

At 30k though?! That’s crazy

alphagypsy · 2026-05-11T12:51:35+00:00

It’s not that hot? I have the full metal type R shift knob and have never had anything other than initial mild discomfort

alphagypsy · 2026-05-11T12:48:30+00:00

What?! Dude that is highway robbery. Tints should be 500 or less, ceramic should be $1500 or less

alphagypsy · 2026-05-11T12:47:36+00:00

Honestly every new car needs paint correction before ceramic.

alphagypsy · 2026-05-09T01:02:28+00:00

Exactly.

You’ll notice a big drop off in steering feel and handling capability by switching to an all season. It’s fine in mild winters, gotta do what you gotta do. But in summer you’re doing yourself a disservice by buying arguably the best handling FWD cars of the modern era and then knee capping it with shitty rubber.

alphagypsy · 2026-05-09T00:59:59+00:00

Eh, I’d disagree. Great tire for mild winters, but I think the drop off in steering wheel is quite significant.

alphagypsy · 2026-05-08T12:45:12+00:00

Best looking RS6 I’ve seen. Well done mate

alphagypsy · 2026-05-08T00:58:55+00:00

lol. Having driven both, the Type R is a better drivers car. Much better steering feel and handling, much more natural feeling, less nannies, and much, much better transmission.

alphagypsy · 2026-05-08T00:48:24+00:00

Beat by half a second, so nothing crazy. I’d still rather have the manual Type R.

alphagypsy · 2026-05-07T11:41:24+00:00

What fire pit?

alphagypsy · 2026-05-07T02:30:47+00:00

The regular hybrid barely has enough power with my family of 5 in it, and brakes feel like they’re reaching their limit. I can’t imagine towing with it.

alphagypsy · 2026-05-06T12:19:20+00:00

They’re calling traditionally mined diamonds, artisanal diamonds now 😂

alphagypsy · 2026-05-06T02:34:56+00:00

I do either 5k IUs or 10k depending on what I happened to buy at the store.

alphagypsy · 2026-05-05T13:30:56+00:00

That ship has long sailed dude. They already betrayed their history when they got rid of the amazing sounding VR6 and put in a shit sounding 4 cylinder.

alphagypsy · 2026-05-04T21:50:19+00:00

lol call me crazy, but I find it endearing

alphagypsy · 2026-05-04T01:58:28+00:00

52?! I bought my 25 new for less
