Someone needs to educate this politician and the rest of the public that EVs are actually more efficient and can go for much much longer in stop and go traffic since EVs don’t “idle” when stopped and can recuperate a lot of its energy from stopping constantly.  Read more

Having evacuated NOLA several times, the worst thing contributing to gridlock and backups was how local law enforcement along I59 would not let any vehicles take parallel alternate routes, like highway 11 or 49 in south MS. The first time, about 4 hours in (50 or so miles) we finally found an open store to get some Read more

Yes, you can always turn the car off, but you never know when traffic will go from 0 to suddenly cleared and you can go 30-40 for a few miles.

I will pay good money to get rid of the auto-stop system (ASS) on my car. It’s like the people who programmed it have never driven a car before. Stop for 1 second and climate control shuts off. Stop in the middle of a turn and risk getting your hands torn off when the power assist comes back to the steering. It’s such Read more

When I learned how to drive my father taught me.  It was in the wintertime and he used to smoke in the car and not crack his window so I had to crack mine and the smoke passed by my eyes on the way out of the car.  To this day I feel like it made me a better driver. LOL! Read more
