I've LOVED cars since I was a
I've LOVED cars since I was a little kid. I had quite a few HotWheels and Matchbox cars and couldn't wait until I was old enough to buy my own.
Also, my dad worked for an electric company and he is dead now but he would have LOOOOOOVED Teslas.
My wife and I have a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 5.7 liter V8 and I thought it was quick off the line with lots of power but that is nothing compared to our Tesla dual engine Model Y without the performance upgrade which goes from zero to 60 in 5.8 seconds.
I don't own Tesla stock but that is only because my wife is afraid that if we buy it that Tesla stock will go down and we will lose our money. Instead we could have been retired by now if we had bought it. Oh well...
My favorite cars are the 1970 Plymouth Superbird "towel rack" with the 440 hemi.
I also love the 1968 & 69 Plymouth Barracuda which we could have bought for a decent price once upon a time and sold them now and be retired if she could have pried them out of my cold, dead, fingers.
As for my Tesla. My favorite thing about it isn't the speed or that people see me driving it. My favorite thing is plugging it into my Tesla Wallcharger and having it fully charged and never having to stop at a gas station. I sometimes but rarely stop at a charging station but right now that it fun and gas stations were only fun for a year when I first started driving them and then I started hating them and wanted a way to fill up my vehicles at home.
I tried in the '80s to have a compressed natural gas pump at home but they wouldn't let me have one because I wasn't a business that had multiple trucks to fill up. I seriously thought about buying several old trucks that ran on compressed natural gas just to be able to get it but my wife said no.
Sometimes she can just not be any fun. (wink)
