Cars, bumper stickers, vanity plates

my birthday is coming up.

I saw one the other day, that read GO2TRPY.

It made me a little angry because the therapy part is just off-kilter to my eye when reading it. And not knowing if the owner means ‘therapy’ or something else? I’ll never get closure on this mental disturbance of imagining that women saying quite snidely to someone - “go to thrrrrrrpy.”

This isn’t how you suggest some go to therapy either. Try showing the person the photo of the vanity plate that’s bothering you and ask them what they think.

I will never understand putting political party/support stickers on your car. youre going to piss of half the people you drive with in the morning.

its probably 60/40 here that i see FJB vs biden harris stickers and for the life of me i probably wouldnt stop for some one with the FJB sticker who is having problems on the road

This CDK cyber attack that’s effectively shut diwn most dealerships is going to make selling our car by Monday a blast.

[BurtReynolds]

you selling the tesla?

[spike]

Yes, we’re leaving the country Tuesday.

[BurtReynolds]

they drive on the wrong side of the road in Australia, right?

[dad]

Australia, your retort?

[spike]

they drive on the wrong side of the road in Australia, right?

I try to say “on the left” to not start trouble.

[wease]

Yes, we’re leaving the country Tuesday.

Tuesday? Damn! That was quick!

Picked up the new Tesla. Black rims instead of alloy, which my wife swore up and down leading up to this she ordered alloy (black can show scratches more). Then our very first stop, she nicks them up on the curb. Serenity now.

But at what cost?

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

Doing a quick search, it seems Australia doesn’t even sniff the ranks (at least Top 20) of Tesla sales or electric car ownership. What’s the charging situation look like outside of home?
