The question of electric vehicles is vexing to someone like me. With manufacturers announcing their intent to reduce or even eliminate internal combustion engines (ICE) in favour of electric vehicles (EV) in the next few years this question came into relatively sharp focus in the last 6 months or so. So I had to ask myself; is an electric car in my immediate future?

St. Louis weather is one of those things one must deal with unfortunately. And nowhere is that more notable than in my choice of vehicles.

It’s been so long since I last wrote that I don’t really know where to begin. Mostly, my life has changed radically during the last 18 months, and it’s been a whirlwind. Those closest to me know all the details… those from further afield… well, email me and I’ll fill you in. Suffice to say, there’s no point assigning blame because no-one is blameless. But the new reality is, and
OMFG, a bit of History Surfaces

Yay! OK… for those who’ve followed my automotive adventures to-date, my car blew a head gasket back in January. Because of finances and stuff I had to hold off on repairing it because I already had three vehicles and didn’t feel fixing my E46 was worthwhile.

In part, to track my vehicles and the changes they go through, I’ve added a new “Automotive” category. That way, you can also ignore my posts if you don’t really care 🙂 Read more if you’re interested, otherwise move along… nothing to see here.
