So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

Funny coincidence. My nephew sent me a refererence on Carsales, for a HSV GTS. I was the original owner of the car, and sold it 29 years ago. So, then I had a look around the site, and found another car that looked pretty familiar. A bit of research and found that it too was mine. VW R32 that I sold 14 years ago.

Well, a charging electric car would be parked in the green bays. So logically it has to be an ICE car

Burnt in frustration, waiting for a spot.

Not sure what sort of car they were driving, but the marks on the asphalt indicate a fire to me.

Motorway rest point, Bulgaria.

In these old Communist and Warsaw Pact countries they call it being liquidated, dah.

According to some, just in case the other one catches fire which I'm told will be anytime now..
In total the Lithium battery capacity at my house is now +200kWh + between 0-200L of diesel in Jerry cans.

Presumably, you keep the diesel and batteries right next to each other.

Some separation but close enough

I drive a Jeep Compass Trailhawk. It is named Bobbi (in full, Roberta Anne Matilda, because I can call her RAMBO), after a late friend of mine named Bob who loved offroading.

In September 2023 I took Bobbi all the way to Cameron Corner and Oodnadatta before visiting Japan and the USA on a points redemption trip.

I recently bought a Lexus NX350h - mainly because my wife wanted it.
Amazing car, so very happy with the purchase.

Would you say similar in size to the Audi Q3 or Q5, or somewhere in between?

 

[dxwell]

Similar to the Q5 to my knowledge.
We didn't even bother looking at the Audi range because of the mechanical reliability issues data.

Have 2 friends with 450h that love them. Older model so not sure they still make it.

Good for a fast getaway from Bec's coffee stand, presumably.

The Lexus NX350h is based on the Toyota Rav4 platform, so that should give a good idea of size.

AI is pretty good for some things
Not a lot in it for the most part... and a few surprises here
