A buddy stopped by test driving a Tesla Model Y.
I took it for a spin. I must admit it was very impressive.
Pure lineal power. It goes 0-60 3.6 seconds. It put a big grin on my face

Really? I am living in Germany, and even some of my colleagues look interested in tesla, the reality is I see very few on the streets... which is weird because the city has a Tesla Shop, but very few honestly.
And I went to Rome in January and I did not see so many tesla, mostly cheap cars, which city of Italy you were mentioning?

Yesterday I saw a most unusual automobile in a parking lot here in eastern Iowa. At first I thought it was a Goggomobil, but on closer examination, it turned out to be a Nissan Figaro with New Brunswick license plates. I'd never heard of it before.

I saw a Lamborghini Urus (SUV) driving on the freeway today. The driver looked like a 16 year old girl. She was texting and having a hard time keeping it in her lane.

Euro Escorts were nice sporty cars we never got in the USA. Stylingwise, the front grille inspired the Capri we did get. |
