I say charge the hipsters for building the bike lanes

since it's been mandated to go EV by a set date anyway, can we get rid of the tax grab, i mean carbon tax? aside from more gov revenue, what's the point

Yes, it's called property taxes. :)

For better or for worse, my impression of hipsters is generally someone in the younger generation -- typically the Gen Y crowd. And that begs the question -- in Vancouver at least, what percentage of them are property owners?

What's red diesel? My basic understanding is it's commercial diesel and it's dyed red?

They are gas or diesel used for off-road/agricultural/marine application. Hence, no associated taxes. It’s more often called marked fuel.

Just realized 2035 EV ban on ICE cars, we should group order our 2035 GT3's now!

I'm in. But trying to get one is next to impossible. There is a new Porsche dealership being built in Nanaimo. Maybe that will help.

looooooooool our power grid is totally ready for EV adoption....

I am lucky to have a garage.... tell me how a high rise resident is gonna deal living with a full EV... honestly... hybrid... sure... full EV... not a chance...

westopher 01-24-2023 08:53 PM
They are banning NEW gas cars in 2035 which means I'm good til at least 2055. By that time I'll either have dementia or we will be under water. Both of which seem more appealing than a Tesla.

People use to buy gas at pharmacies. They also did not have paved roads back then.

Dino juice makes fun noises when exploded. I don’t want to live in a world without exploding Dino sounds :accepted:

If the sounds come out your speakers is it the same thing?

Yes and tell me about that "fake" manual in EVs, I assume they still got quite a few years to perfect that part of the experience as well.
