Electric Yanks?
Discussion
The rumble is important I know!
But for the sake of our children and their children, electric is the future...
I could see me purring down the Queens Highway in the quietest 69 'E'Charger!
Waiting at the garage with the 'greenies' whilst the 'sea of batteries' in my 2 ton leviathan slowly charger-up and drain the grid...
Maybe its worse than running pump gas, but hey, I will be 'down with the kids again' (maybe)...

Most people don't drive their classic hundreds of miles at a time so it is becoming a thing now.
This place is located not that far fro me in Austin Tx.

Personally, I don't think I'd do it unless legislated to do so but if electric is your thing, why not.
Not particularly cheap at the moment but eventually the prices will come down.

Not sure if I'll make it that far https://www.techtimes.com/articles/269188/20211209...
It had to come!
Russian oil and gas will be 'cut-off' for most of Europe and it will be inevitable!
£10 a gallon will make Muscle cars only the play things of the rich!
Most rich peeps don't like muscle cars so its gonna be a car crash.
If Russia get to invade the Eurolands...(who knows what will happen)?
Trabants will be the new classic and some old Lada's too...
Russian Guys would hound you in the 90's and would 'wave a pile cash' for a Lada back then...
Now they only want Mercedes and BMW's ...

There will be plenty of people around in the UK who will think nothing of spending £10 a gallon (or however much it takes) - can anyone seriously see the Bentley GT and other relatively large capacity low mpg owners giving-up on their cars 'cos of a little thing like money.........its all relative, always has been. Even if your budget simply runs to a 60 mpg super mini it is still probably gonna cost more that you'll logically want to afford. The demographics of the UK have changed significantly over the last 60 or 70 years, in fact noticably so since the M25 and other motorway extentions allowed people to move out of what would become unaffordable city living and out in to new, initially affordable developments that are not served by public transport........no, many, many people will not be giving up on their cars for a long time yet.£10 a gallon will make Muscle cars only the play things of the rich!

Russia 'invade' the Eurolands? - well, it will all be over for most of us then won't it - if not initially, certainly longer term. Can't imagine someone within Nato or Russian with an itchy trigger finger not pushing the 'big' button and firing the first ICBM, even a nucular headed one..........

Nice answer rosco,
We all grew up in the Cold War era and ex Londoners like me were shown films at school about ‘surviving a nuclear blast’.
It upset me and my family for many years and they moved to Somerset.
I stayed on as I had a wonderful job working for Kodak films.
But when I started my family I also ‘feared the bomb’ and moved out too...
Now the time to ‘fire the bomb’ has come, no one will.
All the bombs have all gone rusty and we’re fake anyways...
It’s obvious now as Putin wants to protect himself with an old defunct nuclear power station.
Too late methinks?
Cancer rates have ‘gone through the roof’ since Chernobyl...
Oops way of track here,
My gas guzzling days are over!
I have children and grand children who need to breathe good air.
Plus be able to sleep sound in their beds, unlike I have since the 70’s...

Chernobyl still has other functioning reactors..........useful to grab a major energy plant if invading the country I guess.We all grew up in the Cold War era and ex Londoners like me were shown films at school about ‘surviving a nuclear blast’.

Yes, living even on Londons outskirts means I, my family, kids and grandchildren could be toast if London's government buildings are the first 'nuked'......and yes being located out in the 'sticks' could be beneficial.......I guess........untill perhaps the radiation catches up with you....?
