That exact Cayman R haunts me to this day. Launch spec. Manual. PCCBs. Low mileage. £35k. There’s no way that’s going anywhere but up. Finally got my ducks in a row, wife agreed, phoned and it had gone. Genuinely gutted.

Aww petal, you’re doing life wrong if that’s where you peaked.

Well no, because theatrics requires a personality, which pretty much every single top level footballer is woefully lacking.

I’d say the edge case to normie ratio is much more edge biased over there, east and west coasts are very much like we drive, but the middle very different. The flip side is that having a driveway is far more usual than here so home charging more doable for everyone.

It’s not really a myth though, distances travelled in most non-metropolis places are much greater than in Europe. I read that the average mileage across the US is 24,000 miles, double what it is in the UK. Daily mileage may only be a bit more, but many do longer road trips regularly.

One issue is that the US is such a different use case than Europe for EVs. They do vast mileages, often towing. For a lot of the US, the iX3/EX60 with 500 miles range is bare minimum but cost $85k. Especially when the non-Tesla infrastructure is still so appallingly bad.

This same person also whines that they can’t get on the property ladder.

This person has either never had sex, or they have a gargantuan schlong and they’ve never got close to being balls deep as they ‘bottom out’.

No you didn’t. Nobody voluntarily changes their doctor these days. And on the tiniest off chance that you did this, you’re a fucking moron.

Always thought that when you meet someone at a pub/club etc and go back to theirs to do the nasty, you should do it and bugger off after. Nobody wants their first sober impression of someone to be hungover, wearing the same clothes and stinking a bit.

‘Give up significant parts of their private life’ have a fucking word with yourself. It’s a fucking email address.
