That corvette is sweet. I dig the yellow. Maybe I should have posted pictures of my push mower; I feel like it would have pushed me onto the podium...

I think some details on your project car might push you onto the podium...along with the mower of course.

How do you like your Tesla? Guess you would be in the market for the EV F150?

I think I will also down the road a bit but for now settle with the hybrid.

LOVE the Tesla! We bought the first Roadster, and have had them ever since. It's the fastest and most fun car we've ever had (and the Roadster replaced an Acura NSX and a BMW M3, so it's not like we were lacking in fun ).

I'm definitely thinking of switching to the F150 EV at some point. I was interested in the CyberTruck, but aside from looking awful, the side panels behind the cab make it impossible to use with a gooseneck.

Sweet!

Yeah that CyberTruck was stupid design, I bet it gets some major changes. I've seen the Rigid (I think it's called) and it looks like it has some cool tech, not a fan of the front of the thing.

I think Ford is wise to jump and take it serous. Ford could have the edge for you need a lot of dealer and service support for such vehicles.

I will be interested down the road when they get more charging stations out there and that seems to be happening at a fast pace, starting to see more and more of them.

Totally. For me, the main thing is range while towing. I pull a horse trailer, and the nearest main equine hospital is 150 miles away. I need to be able to get there and back while towing - I can't stop to charge when I have horses on the trailer.

AWesome, but I'm more interested in what looks like that Delta Unisaw in the back. I have a Sawstop that I love, but looked at those Deltas too. Also, Roll Tide Roll, from a California boy.

Roll Tide Brother!!

Yeah I'm all Delta, joiner, Unisaw, shaping table. Don't use none of it very often now. That Georgia game had me going there for awhile.

I still wonder if they should have a small engine on an electric truck that has like 350 miles range, yet the small engine could help re-charge the battery's when it is towing heavy loads. To have enough battery power to pull loads at distance will require a lot of weight in battery's. This way a small 20 or 30 hp motor could be charging it the whole time, reducing the size of battery it would have to have.

Call me Ford... Lol

This got shared a few months back regarding full electric and towing range. Basically a generator that sits in the toolbox area in the bed.

Crap, I've been hacked and they stole my idea!!

I have a 2003 C5 and a 2011 CTS V. Both provide lots of heart throbbing fun every time I take them out for a drive!
