Re: Caron Nazario
That occurred to me but I believe Chad is still a derogatory white guy "slur", lol. Tbh, I'm not really upset about it. Just making an observation.
And yes, fun is allowed and encouraged and that's the spirit I took it in.
I was kind of pissed by the treatment I got by the police over the tag I myself had reported stolen as a blonde guy in my khakis, golf shirt and loafers in broad daylight, driving a cheesy green Nissan Voyager knockoff with super compliance (probably my privilege, lol). Guy was not in the mood to play. He mumbled something about stolen vehicles but was not really sorry about anything.
FYI, my father had sold me the Mercury "Villager" (1 passenger door, blech) for a nominal fee and we used it to tote our new brood and as a truck for a couple years before be purchased our first and only Honda minivan. I never had a big complex about driving minivans as they are the most practical kid hauling suburban homeowner car there is. Greate on trips, can carry plywood, sheetrock, pack a ton of stuff in etc.. We are in our blissfully minivan free years now and I'm considering a Tesla as my next vehicle. This entire paragraph just struck me as being kind of "chad", lol.

Re: Caron Nazario
Don’t buy an electric car, thinking you are helping with saving the world. Do it for other reasons
Things most people don’t consider.
A Tesla runs on electric power.
You need to install a 220 charger ($500-1500)
This used high watts to charge. Imagine running your drier for 10 hrs each week
I got a PHEV (gas motor, but also an elector motor that I plug in to charge ). It has a small battery. It takes 3 hrs on 220 power to charge for 25 miles.
But they are fast. And quiet.

Re: Caron Nazario
I give zero f***s about the environmental stuff. My motivation for buying it would be fun. I'm getting older and realizing that my fun having years are dwindling. Going fast is fun. I would do it for that reason. The carbon footprint comment was me being tongue in cheek. I understand there is additional overhead to install a charger at my home. I never really cared about getting one until I got this ebike, a stealth bomber knockoff from China. I'm 215 and I fly up hills on it. It's torquey as hell and quiet, quiet, quiet. It's like a motorcycle so I can go through the woods at the local park and no one knows I'm back there. Not yet. I've been flying through the woods with an electric chainsaw clearing a path behind the local golf course. Just cutting deadfall. So it's purely a "fun" thing for me.

Re: Caron Nazario
I'm glad he's okay. Watched the video without reading and thought it would be another continuously escalating situation. I look at this video and take away a few things not to do when pulled over. Someone else sees it and the words the media repeats attached and it teaches them to be fearful which is not useful (to regular people). I forget the real numbers but I'm confident in saying it's a very rare thing to die to a police officer no matter what race you are. It's okay and necessary sometimes to police the police but not while they think you may present a threat.
Just curious and I'll hear it out... how does advocating people comply with demands of the police equate to communism?

Re: Caron Nazario
Hmmm. What does this have to do with a guy not attaching his license plate the correct way, so the office thinks he doesn’t have a plate. Then not pulling over, then ignoring all requests. Then resisting every action.
Sorry, color, uniform, location, sex, age, all have nothing to do with stupid actions
