It is not environmental extremism. CO2 emissions reduction is overdue. The average temperature has already increased by 1.1 degrees C over the 19th/20th century average. But it’s unlikely EVs will solve this problem. ... View more

That discussion about whether humans are inducing climate changes was settled a decade or two ago. The scientific consensus is that humans are affecting the climate which has caused temperatures to rise by 1.1C on average. Whether EVs will solve this problem is a completely separate discussion. However it is unlikely. We’re in a terrible bind and we don’t seem to know it yet, but the chickens will come home to roost. ... View more

Norway has a very high EV usage. Maybe a good example. ... View more

If I understand the testing workaround it sounds like another VW diesel type scheme for which some of their top management were summarily arrested and indicted. And the company was fined in the billions. It seems like all EV is the only currently acceptable solution for CO2 mitigation (Hydrogen does not seem to be making progress, probably due to infrastructure deficiencies). Porsche already has the Taycan although it’s limited to a 200 mile range. So everyone else just has to follow. Hybrid engines on exotic vehicles is probably not a good idea since they will break and cost the owner thousands of dollars before 5,000 miles. ... View more

I bought 2 collector cars and sold 3 on what I consider a reliable auction site with quite a robust comment system, the possibility to view a car (I never did since the cars were on the other side of the continent) and it seemed to work out fine. I say ‘seem’ because you never fully know the engine condition. One was a six figure Porsche which runs great (drove it home 700 miles). The site has a strict policy of banning dishonest sellers as far as they can detect them. They also permanently ban no show bidders. The service record is posted as a standard feature. Buyers and sellers have to be registered. They follow up with phone calls, etc. I think as long as those types of checks and controls are in place the chances of being cheated are minimal. And if in doubt, have an agent view and inspect the car. ... View more

I recently sold a 1986 Toyota Celica Supra in excellent condition for $18k on another auction site. Some really good cars can still be had for small money. ... View more

I drive a red 5-speed ‘92 exactly as in the picture. Awkward afterthought cup holders and all. After fixing the cylinder head gasket it has been a great car. ... View more
