Masculine traits of self reliance, bucking the herd mentality, and an unwillingness to accept petty tyranny

ICE cars are useful to commit suicide by carbon monoxide inside a closed garage. With EV’s you can’t plan your suicide. But be prepared for accidental death with lithium fire. I do not like surprises. I plan everything.

I thought I read a number of years ago that they were working with Mattel to do exactly that. Give the EVs real world sounds so pedestrians can hear them coming.

Oh jeez. My EV Ioniq 5 can do 0-60 in 4.4 seconds so I’m fine with my manhood. Best thing is I can hear my music or talk radio without all the noise.

Care to guess how many of your tests are passed by Dr Parent?

“Bicycle Colorado”

No “Native” sticker next to the Bicycle of Colorado one?!
I see a lot of the “Native” ones when I go in late September.
I don’t blame people for having them

[MIA_eccl1212]

no, electric cars are for pussies.

that is all.

[Chode]

doctors, is there anything they don’t know???

“’Manly’ men won’t buy electric cars because they think it will dent their macho image, study claims”

well, let’s say that’s true: what’s the reason women and non-manly men aren’t buying them either?

[Irenic]

Oh, I must be transgender or something...well huh.

Macho, macho me, I’ve got to be a macho me!

[TigersEye]

I wouldn't feel very manly knowing my car was built on child labor like this.

Manly men won’t buy EVs because EVs suck big time and are inferior to ICE powered vehicles. Also Manly men realize that it is very easy to shut down serfs travel on EVs because 1. They’re egregiously expensive for what you get and 2. The government can shut down charging with the flick of a switch. You can keep a reserve of gas, but you can’t keep a couple of cans of electrons in your garage.

Not if you’re going 400 miles in the winter.

[budj]

Or, "manly men" are just a little smarter than perfessurs.

[from occupied ga]

Better hope that none of the 9 mm puncture the battery or you’ll go up like a T72 hit with a depleted uranium penetrator from an Abrams

[SaveFerris]

LOL 😂

[Revel]

Real men have a brain and don’t get conned by senseless garbage coming form senseless people.

Methinks that Dr Michael Parent is the one with “manly issues.” Probably needs therapy. 🙄
