I bought a Chevy Bolt a few weeks ago. So far I'm really enjoying the ease of driving.
Bruce's 2nd best album in the past 20 years. Best 2 songs: If I Was the Priest and Janey Needs a Shooter are both ~50 years old and first time they've been released on album.@AZviaNJ That’s a ton of Springsteen concerts! I guess the New Jersey handle makes sense haha. I like a bit of his music too. Haven’t checked out the new album yet though. Favourite song?
edit: Schitts is a great show as well! Just finished that a few weeks ago.

It is roomy but small. The seats in front are not comfortable but there seems to be plenty of room in back seat. It just drives smooth, is peppy, and does not require gas. If you were comparing it to a similar priced gas car I would say it's definitely inferior. Before rebates my Bolt and My Wife's Audi Q5 cost the same money!!!!Nice. Is the interior roomy? Big enough to fit car seats in the back?
Nice list. Mine is:First car: 1965 289 Mustang

Thanks but She won't like You asserting that she was chosen by someone with bad taste!!!! I'll take the compliment on her good taste though!! My list of cars has been rather impressive up until now.Your wife has better taste than you.
That's a good photo...except for the hat.
Question, how much are they? The website says you can put in an order and a deposit but there is NO price.
Dream truck, Rivian drool. Once you have driven an electric car or truck it's so hard to go back to gas. The handling and accelerations are so much better with electric.
Nice list. Mine is:

2nd: 69 Dodge Super Bee
3rd: 72 Dodge Challenger
4th: 76 Chrysler Cordoba

Interesting marketing (I think?).The pricing will be decided once they figure out how to make it. You probably think I'm joking.
They're saying $75k.
Rivian R1T EV Pickup Starts at $75,000, R1S SUV Slightly More

Got a fun anecdote, when I was a kid I used to play the hell out of NHL 98 with the Coyotes, so I wrote an actual physical letter and sent it to the Coyotes organization, mainly begging for autographs from Tkachuk and Roenick. A couple of months later I received a letter containing two larger trading cards with Tkachuk and Roenick on each of them along with their autographs. Sadly, I dont know where those cards are anymore but it's a fun memory.

I have clients ask about Tesla Solar Tiles all the time. Tesla advertises them in Canada but you cant get licensed/certified to install them and there is no timeline for when they will be available to install and not sure how much it will cost.
Elon replied to a tweet this week saying that they'll start installing in Canada in 2021. So probably another 8 or 9 months for the first regions and longer for other regions.Interesting marketing (I think?).

But after rebates they're not!It is roomy but small. The seats in front are not comfortable but there seems to be plenty of room in back seat.

Edmonton and Calgary average over 300 suns days a year and the sun is up to 16 hours a day in the summer but only 7-8 in the winter.Serious question...is solar worth the cost in Canada? Seems like the limited sunshine half the year would make the payback timeline very long.
