Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Suck.


Typical game for them. No change. Give up quick TD. Barely get a 1st down, on a 3rd down scramble. Then get stuffed on 1st down for a loss of 6. In comes Bethard. Three times his passes get deflected. Gonna be a long season.

 

Ill be staying at the Gateway Inns in Monterey tomorrow night. Going golfing down there. My home town.

 

The Salinas valley is crammed with farm equipment so I imagine there's plenty of welding to be done. Also maritime work as well. And Laguna Seca is just over the hill.

 

Hey. Ill take the win!

 

found a pic of when my truck was still a baby... they grow up so fast

 

Felt that pain last Sunday when this happened.

 

I wish I was just turning that number.

I'm in the 150K+ range but she has taken me everywhere I've wanted to go. I love my truck

 

Anyone drive an EV vehicle?

Tempted to get one ... Nissan Leaf to be exact

 

209921 here. and another wheel bearing fail on the way to work today. last one was last august. at least this time it didn't completely seize and drag my tire as I limped it to the shop...lol

what a morning......


but, that's what I get for driving like an asshole in the sticks...

 

she's a teenager!

i just rolled 66... still a tween.

 

You'll need some stickers.





These will also work on a plug-in Prius.

 

Any reason why you want it to be a EV? or Leaf? I say that, because depending on your wants/needs for it, there are some other great alternatives. My lady had a first generation Prius (2001 I think) and we drove the piss out of it. had about 200k miles when we sold it for a profit. That thing ran like a champ and handled everything just fine. I think we only paid like $2,500 bucks for it too. She has a 2015 Civic now and although its not a hybrid or EV, it still gets 32-35 mpg which is great for most people like me. Just can't hop in the carpool lane anymore like we could with the Prius. They are also fairly cheap in the used car scene and aren't as advanced (technology-wise) compared to something else like maybe a hybrid or EV.

 

I’ve played with the idea but only because there are free plug in stations here at work. It’d be nice not to have to pay for “fuel”.

 

Current commute is anywhere from 120-150 miles round trip. Current commuter is a Mazda 3 hatchback averaging 30-32 mpg.

Trip to the gas station every 2.5-3 days. Given that it's only an average of 10 gallons per fill up, it adds up. Spent $400-ish on Gas last month, $375 the month before.

Thinking EV because I have solar at home and work allows me to plug in. Thought about hybrid as well but already in the same price range as EVs so I started looking into it.

 

Exactly. Current gas expenses amounts to another car payment on its own.

 

Oh Jesus. 120-150 a day? Yeah a EV might be your best friend then. Especially if you already have the means of solar and such at home. Might not be a bad idea. I have no idea about EV's, but I can say, prius hybrids are legit. Even the second generations are really good, and pretty cheap.

 

damn, thats one hell of a commute

 

Come over Rob!

 

I already have those and don’t own a plug in vehicle...
