    High School Sports Thread

    I'm only half serious but if there's a threat of having actually be an official out there and you tossed a few parents every year maybe a few of them would stick it out and start umping some. You really need to do something to get the parents under control and you need new blood umpiring games.

    Maybe they ought to make a rule that if you as a parent gets tossed from a baseball game then you can't come back until you're a licensed umpire.

    Mel Brooks best movie

    My 17 y/o loves Mel Brooks movies. I'd been seeing a bunch of History of the World Part 1 clips on Instagram yesterday so I decided to watch that with him. He said it was dumb but he watched the whole thing with me. He doesn't sit around for 90 minutes with me for anything these days so thanks...

    The drivers championship is Kimi's to lose at this point but if anybody can make him sweat it's Max. I think he can at least make things interesting.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I asked this question over in the Rivian sub-reddit a couple weeks ago. Had somethings cooking in the background to where I was going to start putting a significant amount of miles on my personal vehicle compared to the 8 mile daily commute I have now. There were two camps of people... Ones that...

    As long as VW and Amazon keep dumping money into Rivian I think they'll last long enough to land on their feet. Lucid is dead even if they don't realize it. Slate seems like it's an American Kei truck except it's less capable for more money.

    While I'd agree with you that 95% of people, myself included don't need a truck that tows 10k lbs a mid sized truck (that this is competing against) isn't unheard of for tow capacities in the the 6000-7000 lbs range. Now I can see this thing being a hit with fleet sales selling to autoparts...

    I haven't seen much noise here about the Slate given they announced pricing yesterday. I don't know how I feel about this thing. I guess we'll see if there's really a market for a bare bones truck with 200ish miles of range that can only tow 2000 lbs...

    If you think you need a 3rd row look at a grand highlander with the regular hybrid not the max. My wife has been driving one of those around and it gets almost as good of gas milage as her Rav4 hybrid did. We're in the low 30's with that thing no matter what.

    HAHAHA I knew it. Ferrari doing Ferrari things. I actually might buy a few shares. It's sitting at $16 and some change right now. If that R2 is as popular as it seems I could see that stock taking off.

    I'm going to be in Okoboji the week of July 19th. I might stop by and take a look.

    I might be interested in that. The cracks are the concern with them. Those FE engines all really like to form cracks in the lifter valley.
