Give 'yer balls a tug. Fight me.
I'm going to have some time to kill next week while I'm waiting on wells.

Since I'll have time to kill, I will need activities.

One planned activity is to go drive EVs and leave honest reviews in this thread.

So gents, give me some suggestions on which ones to test drive.

But what about your T levels?
Funny enough, I had my annual blood panels pulled a few weeks ago.

I'll talk to my Dr and have another round pulled after test driving these heeps. Would be funny if it drops.



So far on my list:

Mach E
Electric F150
tESLA - don't care which
Wrangler 4XE
Nissan Leaf
Kia EV6 and/or Hyundai Ioniq 5
Porsche Taycan

Yes, and they should have called the 7.3-liter Thunder, in my opinion, instead of Godzilla

Get that whole surf and turf thing going, "Come test drive Tunder and Lightning at your local Ford Dealer"

Weird, I'm looking all over the website for the electric f-onefiddy... I don't see schedule a test drive.

Hm. I'll call the dealer in the am.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
I know it may be lowbon the list of "fun". But drive a Maverick and give us a good review of that.

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
I’ve yet to drive a new Lightning, but I have driven a powerboost F150. I seriously thought about buying one of them instead of the Lariat Tremor I ordered.

Why should I pay someone else to screw it up when I can screw it up myself for free?
You'll have more luck getting a test drive if you use the name Todd or Chad when setting up your appointment.
