  1. Well, give me time to own this car to report cost of ownership. For now, all I can offer is the above fuel savings over my F150 I daily drove. The Camaro SS would be expensive as the F150 because it gets like 10 mpg's right now on e85. I think it's a tune issue though. So far, just 1 cabin HVAC filter which is routine maintenance in 24k miles.
  2. Unrealistic... LOL Some regular car and truck batteries cost that much. You can't get the entire fuel system for a car or truck that cheap and that is what the batteries are for EV's is the fuel system. The fuel is the electricity. You have to look at this in an honest and accurate way, or you won't understand the benefits of EV's. I'm saving money by going EV. Read my post below:
  3. @Ashley P Haters gonna hate. Trucks are the benchmark, not high end sports cars, btw. But you like to argue stuff, so here goes some points to consider.... No other production truck does what the Tesla Cybertruck can do. Cybertruck out-pulled a F350 Diesel, and it's faster than the Raptor R and Ram TRX. A flat 11sec 1/4 mile is awesome for a heavy crew cab 4x4 truck! Raptor R does the quarter-mile in 12.0 at 112 mph. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a42096327/2023-ford-f-150-raptor-r-acceleration-performance-tested/ TRX does the quarter-mile in 12.7 seconds at 106.3 mph. https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2021-ram-1500-trx-first-test-review/ So Cybertruck when compared to production trucks is the best choice, except in looks. lol

  5. What's everyone up to? Baby #2 06/01/2023
  6. It wasn't Covid. I tested positive for Flu B. IMHO, this is worse than Covid. I had no appetite, but when I tried to eat I either barfed it up or got the lipid poo's.
  7. I got it! Yay me! Everything I swallow instantly turns in to liquid poop. Started out with a drippy nose and a hacking cough. Went into a fever with chills/sweats, loss of appetite and body aches. I slept until I hurt from being in bed so long (2.5 days and literally ate nothing). I'm ready for this to be over!

    Scary! Tornadoes are so random! Am I wrong to think we're getting more tornadoes nowadays? Don't recall hearing about that many growing up.
  9. So who makes the best aftermarket hood for the 5th Gen Camaro SS?

    Clarksville got hit hard. But I'm in Lebanon and thank God we didn't get hit.
  12. Very cool. I'll be driving my Camaro SS more this coming summer. Invites to meetups and drag racing at the track are welcome. I'm done working my life away. I'm about to take a new position hopefully that will give me nights and weekends off. I just got to get those hood vents installed so maybe the car will stay cool with AC on idling in traffic.
  13. I have 3 CTEK..... 1x https://smartercharger.com/collections/car-battery-chargers/products/ctek-multi-us-7002 2x https://smartercharger.com/collections/car-battery-chargers/products/ctek-mxs-5-0-promo-bundle-kit

    Good. Been busy with work and the kids. A toddler and 5 month old plus over 150hrs every 14 days at work.... How you been?
  15. It's not the end of the world. Think of it like going from horse and buggy to automobile or Carburetor to EFI. EV's are fun. Go drive a Tesla Model 3 Performance in Sport ad Track modes. Better yet, go drive a Model S Plaid in Sport or Track mode as well.
  16. Order now! https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck/design#paymenthttps://www.tesla.com/cybertruck/design#paymenthttps://www.tesla.com/cybertruck/design#payment 0-60 in 2.6 sec and 1/4 in 11.0 (I think production truck runs 10's though).
  17. Anything that limits federal power is good IMHO. Power corrupts.... That said, nobody should be fined $50k a day for trying to remove a tree stump!
  18. A 2007? It looks brand new! Congrats!
  19. Chloe is a girly girl, so I had a feeling the car looking cool would be negated by too loud. Lol
  20. Nice bike, Pate! I'm cool with a group ride if you come down here to TN! Just let me know.
  21. My daughter likes my Camaro SS (I guess the looks of it?), but she doesn't like riding in it because it's so loud. Don't mind her hair and the onesie, she just woke up. lol She wanted to "go see the Camaro" but once I started the car she wanted out, and then said she liked the Tesla better.
  22. We thought we had fast cars when we ran stock 14's. LOL Now V6 family cars do better, My Tesla is a 11sec car stock!
