I am not a fan of electric cars. As a second vehicle maybe, but as I move into retirement electric cars have some disadvantages. I own a vacation condo and have a parking garage at the condo. There is no place for charging. What am I going to do with no charging station. Charge off site, plug in a 300 foot cord? Also I stay in motels with a loyalty card. The chain I use doesn't have charging stations. Even if they did they may have only one or two and then you will have to reserve a time. Can you imagine the surcharge they will hit you up for like using the internet service. Charge at home, 15 dollars, charge at the motel, 75 dollars. I bought a hybrid SUV that gets 32 MPG on the highway, to me that is the way to go.

The 'Bow Tie' size on the front grille of the 1st Chev wagon or SUV @ mark 1:58 - looks like the proper scale & size. The other 'Bow Tie' emblems are too large.

Car sales are hot in Russia?! That's a far cry from the old Soviet Union when, even with a pocket full of rubles, you had to apply for permission to buy a car and, assuming it was granted, you had to wait 10 years for delivery! Then there was the rigmarole of obtaining permission to travel and buying gasoline!

Trump said 2 years ago he will roll back the fuel milage on vehicles and he does do what he said he would do.
