I think I'll stick with my 2000 Ford mustang with 220k miles. The syncros in the transmission are mostly out, so I have to double clutch to down shift, but that just makes me feel more in control. Plus I can do awesome burn outs when ever I feel like it.


I doubt your Mustang can smoke the tires at 80+ mph. Test drive a Tesla.

Also, while we grew up thinking of gas engine sounds as powerful, after driving an EV gas engines just sound like angry lawn-mowers. People in their hot cars seem like kids with playing cards in their bike spokes.


At least for the next 10 years of my life, I don't think I would ever pay more than $10k for a car (used of course). And unless I wreck my current car, I'll probably still be driving it in 10 years.

And if the Tesla can smoke tires, I'm sure they'll release a software patch to "fix" that in the future.
