The 0-60 for the "performance" model of 2.5 seconds is better than anything out there, but after about a quarter mile, other cars catch up because of their higher top speed. For the race track, you're better off with gas...for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasons1992 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 2005 CR-V with only 258,618 miles on it. The tailgate is covered in brewery stickers (plus a big Bills logo magnet). Best rig I will ever own (unless I get my dream vehicle....a 4Runner). Either it, or I, will expire before we part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interesting car the Tesla. My buddy has one in LA..compnay car so he does not pay for it. Loves the acceleration, but it does not have some other features that most would consider standard now on cars above say $50K in price. BTW, i am not a car guy, do not know the model, but it is about a year old and know the car cost over $100K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayStore. 200kb is site limit for attachnents. Or: just find reasonable facsimile and post the photo link, it will embed in post. New board is sweet!

Sweet Lou Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Thanks Exile and Thanks Doc. It's been a long, tough road, but I'm getting there. I'm gonna ask for some help from some computer guys because the bike is worth a look and a listen. Got a short video of it in the driveway last weekend. To me it was a symphony!

I don't care how good that car was on gas, it was hideous. The one that gets me is the Prius.

Roundybout Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Right now I drive a 2013 Honda Fit sport with only 25k on the clock. I like the thing, but it is abysmal in the snow. I'd like to trade it in for a Lancer because those are AWD and still stylish, and you can get screaming deals on them.
