At least you don't want a Tesla Cybertruck. I saw one here (before they all got recalled for brakes that don't work - yikes!). What an UGLY collection of scrap iron. But it's probably the one thing that would get a MAGAt into an EV.

Hey, now. Don't be putting down Corvairs. The VW bug didn't have a rear anti sway bar too, and their rear wheels would Nader too. Blame the bean counters.
Yes, a fact that came out only after IтАЩd been driving LA freeways for 3+ years, back in the early 70тАЩs when everyone drove 70+ and you werenтАЩt tailgating if you could still see someoneтАЩs brake lightsтАжтАж.The miracle of survival is not lost on me.
I left in тАШ74, and used to go back occasionally for business. You have my complete sympathy! I just canтАЩt imagine living there and having to commute.
If I had ever had to commute when I got here in 1980, I would have left. Fortunately screenplays and books are best written in the back room of wherever it is the writer lives.
in my neighborhood, the real main drag is Northern Boulevard (celebrated in "The Great Gatsby"). a few years back, they added bike lanes. inconvenient when there's traffic, but workable. a few months ago, they added a bus lane (there are two very minor bus routes on it and the buses didn't create traffic issues). so now, this main artery is one lane going in either direction. it's one long traffic jam ALL THE TIME.
...and don't even get me started on 34th Avenue (the former "alternate route" when Northern Boulevard was too crowded). it's a pedestrian mall with these pylon-type things so that no emergency vehicles can turn on to it in actual emergencies.
lots of shit-for-brains types around, I'm thinking.
And I'll bet there aren't that many bicycles on it. We have the same thing here in the SFV - all the main routes have bike lanes and you NEVER see a bicycle on it other than the riding gangs on Sunday mornings.
actually, there really IS quite a bit more bike traffic than ever before, especially in Manhattan, where the cyclists (many of whom tend to ignore things like lights and signs) are widely despised.
but remember, NYC is a much more bicycle-friendly (or do I mean "bicycle-appropriate) city than LA.

is that the thing that looks like it's out of a badly designed '80s sci-fi movie?
Yes, something that The Humongous would drive in The Road Warrior.
yes it does! it certainly looks like a weapon of war.
The Cybertrucks are just angular Corvairs.

I remember them, I think
All TeslaтАЩs are pretty тАЬblahтАЭ, except the Cybertruck which is тАЬWOW!тАжтАжтАжWTF?тАЭ Same reaction as when I saw my first тАЬGremlinтАЭ.
Did you ever drive one? It really was a gremlin. And Elmo's truck is a reject from "The Road Warrior."
No, but I drove a Pinto, a real тАЬbombтАЭ! ЁЯШВ
Literally - it exploded when hit in the rear.

Back when the freeways really were. Free. Rush hour is now 24/7/365, And all my secret back ways have been outed on Waze. :-(

I left in 74, moved to Fairbanks, AK for a few years. No traffic there.

Steve Schmidt has a Ford Raptor. i hope you got my dark, ironic humor. (Like in a jugular vein).
The UGLY will thrill them for sure. They LOVE MTG, you know.
