here's one for you....i had a model 96? ....the station wagon version, looked just like the sedan in the front, batmobile in the back.

i've had many english cars and when it comes to odd ball chit, saab takes the cake.

my saab had some odd ball chit.

4 speed manual, on the column

had a ford V4, 4 stroke engine....i still have the badge

here's the best one....if you were in gear, just rolling along and came to a downhill section where you lifted off the accelerator, the transmission would go into neutral. no movement of any kind on the column or any noticeable feel on the clutch pedal....it just free wheeled and the engin dropped immediately to idle.

just as soon as i touched the gas pedal everything went back to normal.

it was designed to do that and it took me a long time to figure that one out.

ANYONE KNOW WHY IT DID THAT?

My parents' '62 Rambler Classic with overdrive did that. Three on the tree plus overdrive. You could take your foot off the gas and shift gears without using the clutch. It had something to do with the gearing of the overdrive, but I never understood it. If you locked out the overdrive, you could get compression braking back.

"EVs cost more to power than gasoline costs to fuel an internal combustion car that gets reasonable gas mileage."

Study compares electric vehicle charge costs vs. gas -- and results were surprising | Texarkana Gazette

Last year Patrick Anderson went electric: He got a Porsche Taycan EV in dark blue.

I saw that article. I don't think the writer was very smart. Math is hard.

Tesla hits $1 trillion market cap for the first time after Hertz says it will buy 100,000 electric vehicles

Well it is a good thing their new EV factories in Germany and Texas will be pumping out new Teslas in 2022. Renting a Tesla for a week is going to really speed up the declining ICE sales.

Afford

Affordable gas doesn't appear to be an option anymore.

Or available gas. "Supply chain interruptions are inevitable."

Tesla will drop from time to time but not making new lows but continue make new highs I expect.

That $7,500,000,000.00 cash back in 2022 is going to booster Hertz.

If goes off as planned in Europe and USA it will boost EV sales by millions of cars and trucks.
