The first 1/2 hour of this show is a good reason to have a classic car as a backup.

I had a J's Racing valvecover on my S2000 , when it flaked off due to wear and tear I touched it up using that Ford green colour, it was a perfect match and a nice colour too.

It's called a typo. I meant "drug cocktail."

Edit: D'oh! Already corrected by Gene.

Elon needs to pay what he owes on his taxes. I hate him and his electric cars,

I traded in my 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid for a low mileage 2023 Ford Escape Plug In Hybrid (PHEV) and I got my first drive home in it today. I live about 20 kms away from my work location. On my drive home today I placed the vehicle in full EV mode and I got to drive home without using a drop of gasoline. The small rural roads between work and home have speeds of about 55 mph, so the PHEV is in its max fuel efficiency mode at those speeds. I may be able to get 58 kms on a full charge, so I should be able to drive to work and back home without using any gasoline in perfect conditions. I am charging up tonight for the first time, I am just using 120 volts AC with the level one charging cord provided by Ford, it may take about 9 hours give or take, using overnight charging on the lowest hydro rate our region has. Looking forward to seeing my fuel costs over the next few weeks, I spend a lot of money on fuel for work trips, so this should produce results. My regular hybrid was really good on fuel in city driving , but the larger battery in the PHEV is going to give me good coverage on my daily work trips to and from work. I think all manufacturers should be going this route , full EV doesn't work for everyone but this is a great option and it still saves fuel, money, carbon, etc.
