    A little Junior Brown to start your day

    I saw the Blasters tonight and they killed.

    They are one of my favorite bands to see live.

    Saw this and it ticked me off.

    There is a difference between a musician and a songwriter. A few people are both, some are one or the other. Most people are neither. I am in the last group.

    Anyone seen Searching for Sugarman?

    My wife and I enjoyed the movie. We subsequently bought the album which is excellent.

    The Oatmeal and the Tesla Model S

    Yes that was an entertaining read. They've installed superchargers along that route since then so it is now an easy drive with very little charge time.

    The Oatmeal and the Tesla Model S

    Sorry I realize I am coming off as a Tesla fanboy but they really are that much of a game changer vehicle.

    The Oatmeal and the Tesla Model S

    This is true that most owners do have other vehicles in the household. There has been one trip in the past year that we had to take the gas powered car because the Tesla would have been inconvenient. But other than that, the Tesla is my primary daily driver. This is the case of every other...

    The Oatmeal and the Tesla Model S

    And that is why I said electric cars are not going to work for everyone. But they can work for 90% of those that have a place to charge them overnight. The problem was your original post of "Seems like a nice toy, but completely impractical as a normal vehicle. Unless you only drive 20 miles a...

    The Oatmeal and the Tesla Model S

    I can easily get over 250 miles on a charge, and I start out with a full tank every day if I plug it in at night in the garage. It has more cargo capacity than anything smaller than a full size SUV or minivan. It will carry 5 adults in total comfort because the rear seat is huge (except...

    The Oatmeal and the Tesla Model S

    We absolutely love ours, so much fun to drive. It is a very large up-front expense but if you keep it 10 years the total cost of ownership is not bad. With the warranty and service plan the only cost for the next 8 years is tires. I've been getting 100 miles for about $4.50 worth of...

    Formula 1 discussion

    I am a Vettel fan, I think he and Alonso are the best drivers on the grid. However it will be nice this year to not have Red Bull dominating the season. I wouldn't count them out though. Vettel had some great drives in mediocre cars before he went to Red Bull. They have the best aerodynamics...
