I will have to see if I can find the article, it was auto or car and driver deal.

What I remember was they were going to be two new versions of the vette, a hybrid and full electric. It said the full EV would be the fastest production EV in the world?

I don't feel the need..... the need.... for speed!!!


I feel the need to be able to get in and out of the car without assistance (from it being so low). When they start to clone the full size SUVs (a la Toyota 4-Runner or Sequoia) as EVs, then I'll get more interested.

RIGHT!! My wifes SUV and my POS truck are great. A work buddy has some fancy schmancy Hyundai, I need a jib crane to get out of the damn thing. I will never own a car ever again. Besides how in heck do you haul a harvested animal in a car?

Ironic you say that. I'm 6'1, although slim. I bought my first pickup truck in '19 when I retired. Never going back to a car again. Feel like a sardine, claustrophobic, and like my a$$ is dragging on the ground.
Now, I am getting the itch to buy sports car for funsies, but it won't be my daily.

Any picture of me getting into the General Lee or similar will have a wrecker or crane boom in it with me in a harness.

The first car I ever bought was a Camaro/Berlinetta (which, sadly, I discovered later was a "chick car" - I needed to get the Z28 but I didn't see one with an "automatic" trans).


After that, I was SUV all the way. Love the ability to see over the top of some things, and being able to get in/out of it with relative ease, unlike some of these things I rent these days.
