In Montreal there's a place that sells only classic cars. I was always a Firebird fan and when I heard they had some I went to check them out, but they were all selling for over $100,000. Firebirds! $100k! They had some 60's Mustangs too at over $160k but I don't know them well and couldn't tell you what they were exactly.

Anyway If I saw 2 Mustangs like the electric one above, 1 electric and 1 not, I would be all over the electric one. Sure the ICE one would have a killer rumble, but I would still be itching to take the EV home and give it some Marky-love.

I like quite.
That extra rumble just gets me in trouble. Silent and deadly !
No need to turn heads when you are up to no good.

Perhaps start with a new wife ?
Just kidding.
I see toyota is ramping up adds pushing Hydrogen car "Mirai"
You can see from this vid the results of that earlier research on dispensing the fuel.
It looks like they went for a double standard. Basically 2 pressures.
3500psi and 7000psi and some safety checks to allow self serve.
So they did not have to re-invent the wheel on that since most compressed gas tanks are 3600 and 10000 psi.
Still going to be hard to expand on this. They do need the east coast to be onboard also.
Then they can start the distribution to fit the interstate in between. I would consider it viable at that point. We shall see if they can get enough folks onboard in CA first.
Glad to see it move and hopeful it will. Still need to get the cost down. That will come when competition and more players get in on it.

I got to see one of these prototypes (50 in all I believe) about 3 years ago.
Yes, I want one. Not one of the production models if they go through with it, I want one of the prototypes as a collector. I don't know if they are showing them off around the country still or not, but if you get the chance, go see it !

When I saw the first Transformers movie back in 2008 and they revealed the new Chevy Camaro, my jaw dropped and I knew I had to get one. And when it was finally made available 2-3 years later, I bought one.

And then when I saw Avengers Age of Ultron and I saw the Harley Davidson LiveWire Bike, My jaw dropped again.



Just listen to the sound of that bike. It's so sexy. Alot better than the stupid-loud-fart-sounds they make now.

I test drove a roadster a long time ago. It was fast and fun, but it was a little too small for my 6'3" frame.

But even though the Model S is a Sedan, it's freakin' fast, and it feels very much like a real sports car. In fact I'd say its cooler than that. The exterior says sedan. But the speed, handling and acceleration are sick, sick sick. Even the base models are exceptional.

Love them ................

Yea, Sexy it is. One of the first things I noticed.
All of my bikes have been extremely quite, but down to just one now.
All of my cars are very quite. I have no reason to turn heads and have anyone look.
I know what they have. Making a bunch of noise just gets people excited.
Including me, I hate it. I like to hear all of the mechanics moving as they should.

But, I had had hopes that these electric bikes could be fitted with a small fuel cell.
And they can, just nobody has done it yet. Perhaps the next gen when we have stations to refuel. Then range and charge time will not be any issue at all.

but gotta say I get fatigue on a bike after 2 hours. Probably would be different on a fully dressed bike.
