I would have come on with the 1967 Eldorado if you didn't. ... View more

Sold my white 1974 Eldo convertible last year. Or as a salesman once said, "the finest five passenger convertible ever conceived by General Motors". It needed more work than I wanted to put into it. It's greatest virtue was that EVERYONE turned and looked when it came rumbling down the street. Including drivers of the $100K+ droptops none of us can afford. ... View more

Agreed, especially if you have the 1993. The 1971-6 convertible Eldorado will also turn heads wherever you go. I know! ... View more

I'm a lifelong Buffalo native. In a word, no. Rear wheel drive is white knuckling and praying all the time you are on a snowy and slushy road. I don't care what kind of tires you have. ... View more

I went through a few Buffalo city winters with the old VW Beetle, which I hated. That car is a rolling death trap. No heat unless you replace the heater boxes every couple of years, and the rest of the car rusted just as badly. The motor mounts broke easily, so the engine would slide a bit and not mate with the tranny/shifter well. But it was great in the snow when the rear wheel drive cars would slip and slide. It was the only car that I could get out from being stuck by myself. After releasing the clutch, you could gun the accelerator with your right foot and stick your left foot to the ground to push at the same time. ... View more

All battery is in our future, but long for a LONG time. You will need a next generation battery, lithium ion isn't it. You will need longer range and much faster charging time. It needs to be less dangerous, recyclable and replaceable, characteristics lead-acid batteries have. I am not as concerned about the electric grid... if such auto batteries are available, cost effective local/home energy battery storage for solar/wind should also be feasible. In the short term plug-in hybrids give the best of current worlds. Battery power for commuting trips, gasoline engine for road trips and winter driving. Charge at 110V at home. I would get one in a heartbeat if it were available next time I need to buy a new car. ... View more

I should say haven't spoken to any Tesla cultists. ... View more

-- "Just look around I have never heard anyone brag I am a Hyundai man or that they bought a Nissan anymore" I suspect you have spoken to any Tesla cultists. ... View more

A hybrid is 100 times more practical for most people than a pure BEV. 220V outlet not required, fill up in five minutes, no losing half my range in the dead of winter. ... View more

Something common to ALL EV's... The battery has a shelf life, like those in your cell phone. It's NOT like a combustion engine, which can run almost forever with proper maintenance. Fifteen years or more out, the battery will no longer hold a charge and will have to be replaced. Are you ready for that? ... View more
