I think i has more to do with the number of jacked up truck owners my car seems to offend.

So… you did turn into one of those zealots?

Mike Honcho

Kind of... I like to troll people who don't know what they are talking about.

#3, I am not a big fan of the decade long EV subsidies.

Zoobieman

Oil people aren’t anti electric
