We’re a long ways off from that, but she’s been liking making a noise that sounds like “agoo” a lot lately. Fun seeing those developments.

I think my kid would prefer if I drove a cement mixer. He doesn’t care about cars but loves enormous trucks.

In a sea of small econoboxes 1.6 diesels and 80-120 hp, yes. Mostly when she grips the handles tight it was when he had his v6 2010 cayenne. She needs to grow a little more to get into his m6

Oooof. That's likely a buy back scenario unless he wants to wait it out
They ordered the “parts” but they will “likely have to be taken off the assembly line” which is now closed ? 2-3 week eta … so buyback becoming likely indeed

Not to pivot to non-shit cars, but to pivot to non-shit cars... I washed the 86 during a listen-in meeting today. I still

the whorange tony the tiger style, this car looks great. I need to do a bit deeper interior detail, but will be taking the

for a few trail runs over the next couple of weeks so I'll wait, just did a quick interior spruce.
I also test fitted the

seat and it fits just fine in the back seat. It's a pretty easy load in/out as well with the lock in seat, so it'll be a pretty viable solution for the first year. I did squeeze into the front seat with the baby seat behind it... not comfy at all, so it will just be me and the

plus optional
Still very practical compared to a Miata, glad I got this thing and even if I need to dump it a year from now, well, I got to enjoy nearly three years at that point and I'll buy an overpriced Civic or something.
The seat fits in the

pretty decently as well. The seatback of the driver's seat is basically touching the baby seat where I need to be. For a very long legged person, it would be a squeeze. Plan is to move forward with the existing vehicles and reassess in 12ish months.

So at my company we purchased 50 Silverado EVs. Three were delivered that won’t accept a charge. One of those three caught fire and burned to a crisp this weekend.

Nice! Convertible seats are a bit larger than infant click in ones. But glad to hear it’s usable.
