My money's on an incoming fundraiser or emergency batch of pillows for extra money to support "the cause."

It's going to be 102 here on Friday and we're taking Christmas family pictures that afternoon.

This is fine.

Oh man, EV drag race protip right there. Just move to Pikes Peak and you'll win more.

It's not so much the burnout that I enjoy (I'd rather not keep buying tires 😅) as sustained actual acceleration. Which means ideally two powered axles for traction, and at least from what I've read it's hard to beat a model 3 performance for the price. Especially since it comes under the cap for a $7500 tax credit.

I normally wouldn't but figured in context it made sense. But tbf they're similar 0-60 times at least. I'm sure the rest of the handling is significantly better in the BMW, as well as quality, but I'm at 100k miles on my C63 and ready for some lower maintenance fun at this point. Until I can afford a 3 car garage and lift, or something, which probably isn't for a while.

Actually, a launch at Google means it's just about ready to be killed off.

I'm very much in the market at the moment but I've not seen the other options in the price range with what appeals to me the most: the quickness and fun to drive aspect. Are there actually others comparable to say an m3 performance?

I mean I knew what they meant right away but yeah, it's not perfect.

That's nothing, I use a magnetized needle and a steady hand.

Trump didn't have much to with that aside from a few people copying his MO. There were structures in place and a few people following his playbook have rapidly gained enough influence to completely gum up the works.

I will, uh, add that to the list towards the bottom.

This protein shake is basically the same.

And other lies I tell myself.
