Yeah, it wouldn't make sense not to have a level 2 if you owned a car like that. Preheating the cabin while still plugged in would be great! I suspect you could program it to warm itself at a certain time?

My other issue when I test plug-ins is that I don't have space in my garage to park it, so it has to park (and charge) in the driveway. If it was in a warm dry garage I wouldn't need as much heat, or defrost in the morning. Plus the idea of charging in the driveway makes me slightly uneasy.

Again, both issues that are easily overcome if you commit to owning one.
Why does charging in your driveway make you uneasy  ???

Why the gold?


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Wokeism is nothing more than the recognition and opposition of bigotry in all its forms.  Bigots are predictably triggered.

Why the orange?
Is my favourite colour and always wanted to add some orange to the indigo blue of the car
Does it look that bad?

No, just weird to just do one panel.

The blue of the car actually makes the orange film look more like cooper
I'll do more but just wanted to see how it will look. I'll do the same in the back.

Taking the Sonoma into work tomorrow to recharge the A/C (and film it for a training video) with our A/C chemical supplier, so I moved the cars around to access it....
I need more/better parking. Badly!

You could probably fab up a ski-rack type thing and just park a car right on top of the 'Slade.  It would probably hold it!! 
How fast is my 911?  Supras sh*t on on me all the time...in reverse..with blown turbos  :( ...

Ha! I bet the rear air ride would love that...."service ride control" all day long  ;D

I once saw a house where the guy had mounted the front piece of a forklift to the wall in his garage and would basically drive one car across it and then raise it up so he could park another underneath. Something like that would probably work in the garage where the red Firebird is parked. Seems extra sketchy though, and likely a fair bit of fab work.

I'll need to do something eventually, maybe sooner than later too. I still have 3 cars at my grandmother's place, and her health hasn't been the greatest recently (she's also 85), so I know my free storage time there will be coming to an end at some point.

That'll mean moving further out of the city, or selling some stuff  :'( Or getting creative...Recently I've been thinking about buying an investment property with a big garage outside of the city in a community with a decent rental marked (Guelph, Cambridge, etc); rent out the living space and use the garage for my junk.

Maybe I should snow camo the Passat!



It's white, and so far, that's the only thing that I don't really like about the car.
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
