Our Cars (dream or actual)

@Brian it's a pain renting, and without a secure tenure, I wouldn't want to drop a couple of thousand on an EV charger for my landlord.

At least the I20N is a cheap midlife crisis, and a reasonably practical car.

I suspect that my car buying plans will depend on when my car breaks down, where I end up living, and just how much of a fuel crisis we have.

@Graeme agree with the renting we have been lucky really 12 years in once place and going on 4 in our current one but no way I’m forking out for solar etc in somewhere that we may not be in the future

@Oaktavia oh i bet that was made in Woodstock Ontario. Glad you love it.
in 2024 we were working 9 hour shifts on days and 10's on nights pumping them out

Not the most fuel efficient, but fun nonetheless.

Absolutely stunning how badly Ferrari fumbled their EV. Design by Logitech. I’m so confused they allowed that thing a Ferrari badge. For a marque with such discipline around distinction it is truly baffling that thing got out the door.

Having just listened to the Acquired podcast about Ferrari I am just agog over here.

@mclaincausey Saw pictures of it yesterday and completely agree. That abomination does not deserve that badge.

Edit: and the interior is just as bad as the exterior.

Have you guys heard what Luca di Montezemolo said about it?

[goosehd]

@Chap I have not. I have now…

Stocks have a 8.6% drop in a day…guess the public isn’t happy either.

Friend of mine added some shares last week thinking they reached the bottom… nope they didn’t

[mclaincausey]

Maybe Ferrari want to scoop up some shares?
