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

    The Ankeny one has been done for a while. Was thinking they were retrofitting, but I would guess that is a lot more work and cost to do at this point.

    I guess that was my thought process, being right next to Interstate 35. You're right, I'm not charging if I'm driving from the DSM metro.

    For a minute there, I read this as the new Costco in Ankeny has an EV charger, and I was excited, but then I realized you meant that new Costco's were installing EV Chargers. Plus it looks like you are in Portland, OR. ;) Do the Costco's out there have EV charging? It would be fantastic if...

    How Long Does it Take to Get a Passport?

    I second this. We scheduled an appointment to get our 17 year old and 20 year old their first passports at the county courthouse and everything was very smooth. Currently, it seems like they are processing these very fast, as we received the passports for both in a little over three weeks...

    Perfect! I'd love to upgrade my Rivian in 10-15 years with a Mr. Fusion! :-D

    I agree, those aren't real concerns. Most EVs now offer scheduled pre-conditioning, so that your EV is ready, pre-warmed and batteries preconditioned at whatever time you set it to be ready. Tesla and Ford offer this. Rivian just got this update and it's a game changer! The Trip...

    The Rivian R1T is priced comparably with the Cyber Truck. The dual motor AWD R1T, with 352 miles of range, can be purchased in the low to mid 80's right now directly from Rivian, compared to the Cyber Truck dual motor offering of $79,900, with 340 miles of range, which will be available early...

    The Iowa State Jets

    Unfortunately, I don't think they're going to find a starting tackle (or G or C) in a trade. Starting linemen are just too valuable, and no one seems to have an abundance. Saleh basically admitted that in in Monday press conference. I don't know how we keep this line patched together...

    Yep, based on the Coney Island Cyclone wooden roller coaster. Maybe the Jets should relocate to Brooklyn...

    A New York Jets forum on Cyclone Fanatic ... never in my nearly 40 years of Jets fandom would I ever have expected to read those words! There have been a LOT of lean years along the way. For all the new Jets fans hopping on the bandwagon... enjoy the ride, we'll make room!

    Hilton Coliseum Song Play List

    I noticed the difference in music last night, too. Any ideas of which songs were used? There was one in particular that sampled Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye that I'm trying to figure out...

    Ideas for painting man cave/ISU room? (Share your pictures!)

    Thanks! It took the better part of a day to complete. Not too bad, overall. Good luck with your basement!

    Ideas for painting man cave/ISU room? (Share your pictures!)

    Here is what I did on one wall of our basement bar area. I designed the image in PhotoShop and then used a projector attached to a laptop to display it on the wall. From there I traced it and painted it using official ISU colors. Turned out really great!
