come join me and the rolling heavy vanner girls for a party in the desert

If our comments and emails are any indication, TTAC readers are by and large very sane and sensible men who make sound choices based on reliable data.

You’re family men with minivans and bachelors who have CUVs just in case they meet the right girl on eHarmony. You’re introverts who don’t like bright colors. You’re engineers and programmers who can spot a logical flaw from ten thousand feet up.

Oh yeah, and there’s also one enormous black dude who drives an SRT-8 Jeep around Queens and can remotely kill you with his brain.

No matter which one of the above stereotypes fits you, you need to put it all aside and get out to Joshua Tree National Park this weekend to join me for a party that, in all likelihood, neither of us will be able to remember.

It’s called Desert Generator and it’s gonna be live. An enormous caravan of custom Seventies vans will be rolling from Los Angeles to Joshua Tree Saturday morning. Me? I’ll be the guy on the Indian Roadmaster at the end of the line, and you know I’ll be accompanied by a member of the fairer sex. There will be a massive van show during day, and I’ll be awarding a prize for Raddest Van or something similar.

As soon as the sun sets, it’s time to head to the world-famous Pappy and Harriet’s for a five-band stoner-rock lineup. When it’s all said and done, you can camp out in your van or on the desert floor. I’ll be borrowing an Airstream from Kate Pierson of the B-52s, and although three’s a crowd in the bed of an Airstream I could probably find room for one of our distaff readers. If there are any. The stats say there aren’t. Come prove me wrong.

Insofar as we live in a world where liability is always a concern, I feel compelled to warn you that partying with me in the desert is a bad idea and you could ingest substances that destroy your corpus callosum and you might wind up face down on the desert sand choking in your own vomit like John Bonham and where we’re going, they don’t have paved roads and stuff like that.

Don’t forget that I have a knack for meeting very strange people and hanging out with them and you might be victimized by this.

But you’re still gonna do it, right? Of course you are. See you this Saturday.

For all of you hating on the women with tats, just remember that they don't like you either.

  1. We're not hating, we're expressing our opinion in a polite manner. 2. They like me just fine. We agree to disagree. Funny thing, women with tats are generally more open to polite and respectful disagreement over artistic points.

I'll be there. In a rented Town & Country, but I'll be there.

Theflyersfan Interest rates on car loans are still high. Limited number of buyers that can spend over $50,000 on any car. Unknown long-term reliability and battery issues. Charging infrastructure is still hit and miss, especially away from interstates. No easy solutions for those who have street parking at home on how they charge up. There's a lot of factors to weigh. But I think the biggest hurdle is still cost. Automakers want to show off their most expensive tech in their most expensive EVs and that means forget about huge chunks of the middle class being able to afford one. These fixes will come in time. I'm sure these same kinds of issues were discussed when ICE-powered cars were bursting on the scene over 100 years ago and people had to give up their horses.

Those batteries are proving to have 12-, 15-year life cycles, and most of us don’t even hold a vehicle for 12 or 15 years.”" So reading between the lines, Mr. Trotsky has decided there will be no more used cars as we know them. Unless BEVs designs accommodate battery cell repair/replacement (or will in the near future), Our Not Social Betters have decided to bring Logan's Run to the auto industry. But keep cheering for them proles while they laugh.
AZFelix In other news, EV propagandists now recommend buyers only display 80% of their enthusiasm of buying an electric car in order to achieve their long term goal of transitioning to BEV only car sales.
28-Cars-Later Unpossible. "most research shows that batteries should last more than a decade." More than a decade could be eleven years. Meanwhile three of mine are or are very close to being twice as old and still kicking. Beater life doesn't begin until 15 yo... guess we can't have those anymore Mr. Trotsky?
