    Its really funny to see EVs coming on the scene with insane 0-60 times and horsepower numbers only for chuds to now claim that those things don’t matter.

      EVs have completely killed “the car guy” to me. Like you can just buy a run-of-the-mill EV and it can easily have better overall performance characteristics, better energy efficiency, and require less maintenance than a random “sports car”.

      But hey, I guess it doesn’t go “vroom-vroom”, set off everyone’s car alarm on the street when it passes, and doesn’t function as a dead giveaway that you’re an asshole creep who is having trouble masking their psychopathy.

      Seriously.

      I had a guy in an I forgot what something manly or whatever with rude stickers about liberals or something on the back try to beat me off the line when was driving my leaf.

      It was a complete joke. The instant torque evs have is ridiculous.
