The other day, it was announced that California is banning the sale of new internal combustion powered passenger cars after the 2035 model year and I wish I could say that I was upset or going to protests and try and save the V8 with manual gearbox. But I don’t buy new cars, so I […]
I think I might have inadvertently implied that Tesla (and owners of electric cars in general) were (or are) pompous, self-aggrandizing douchebags and that was…well…unfortunate. Sometimes this keyboard gets ahead of my good sense and I want to apologize by posting this next electric car and saying some nice things about the owners of cars driven by electrons. So I’m sure that the next owner of this BMW i3 will enjoy the extended CPO 100k warranty while driving around in a luxurious electric compact pod thing with a range extending gasoline engine. Looks like a great daily driver to augment your collection of El Camino’d LS1 powered Volkswagens. Find this 2016 BMW i3 offered for $14,995 in Spring Valley, NY via eBay.
I wonder if people who purchased the touch screen equipped ’89 Riviera thought that they were living in the future. iPhones and touch screens might be commonplace today, but back in 1989, only NASA and Hollywood studio sets had touch screens, so buyers of the Buick Riviera and Reatta were living in the future with a touchscreen CRT display that controlled the stereo, AC, fan, and heater. Unfortunately, the future was very uncomfortable because the touchscreen was buggy and prone to sticking the heater full on or full off exactly when you didn’t expect or want it…not exactly desirable, but as an automotive oddity, I love to have one.

The future is a scary place, especially when you look at the emergence of electric cars, self driving cars, and the general condition of the automotive market today. What will be cool to drive in 20 years isn’t the question — but, will it be cool to drive at all? Electric cars aren’t a bad […]
The year 2045 will be a bleak and unpleasant place. Electric cars and self driving robots will craw slowly through the hazy moss covered landscape. Humans are enslaved by the McGooglebookmart corporate IT system that gained self awareness in 2025 and was voted in as President for life in 2035 after offering free Big Mac […]
