I think the key is
- Electric vehicles have a pathetically short range and an absurdly huge recharge time
- Electric is going to be needed to create the heat for the passengers, heat from the motor which is not a lot, is not going to just magically get to where it is needed
- The more electric that is needed for heating is going to reduce the range even more

Electric vehicles are retarded give our current lack of technology in batteries
If I want to jump in my car and drive to Toronto I want to be able to do it in a matter of 3 hours, I don't want to drive part way there and then have to take a 8-hour nap while the battery gets recharged

Is it too soon to start planning a March drive?
My car, and many others will still be in winter storage...

Nissan ESFLOW Concept . Love it, but wonder how well shape will translate into production if it ever happens.
And I totally love the front!

Two years in a row Albany has held a drive March 26/27. I don't think that's unreasonable to plan on again

Ebay + Buyer =

There is an item I want, sever selllers have it available
Seller 1- item is $34.86 Buy it Now + $28.50 shipping = $63.36
Seller 2- item is on bid + $23.27 shipping

If you do the math you can see if I bid more than $40.10 to seller 2, the total with shipping will come up to be more than the seller 1 price which is fixed

So I bid against one other person and make sure my highest bid is $40 because why should I pay more to Seller 1 when I can get the item from Seller 2

I just lost the item, the tard I was bidding against has a $42 bid in, so he is already up to $64.27, he is so hell bent on winning the bid he is actually paying more than he needs to. And thanks to me, he started the day with him winning the item for $22, and I have driven him up to $42 today.

Idiot

The choice is up to you
You know I'm more than happy when you do as long as you keep me in the loop
As CO it's bad form to be the last to know what is going on in your own community

Then go for it, plan one in March, just include me in the planning
I'm just saying, I know for a fact there will be a lot of S's still in storage in March
But anybody who wants to drag their car through the salt is free to do so
I just choose not to is all
