I think the forum is way too concerned about conflict personally. As long as people are being respectful to each other, which we almost always are, I don’t see what the big deal is personally.

@AMIRZA786 you posted you were taking a break from posting and exclusively posted in EV chat for a while. You just came back to this forum as of recent.

I say that to say some people take this stuff too serious and too personal.

It’s the internet!! Who cares? 😂😂😂 It’s locker room banter

What do you think I care about and why would I care? I own a PHEV which I love and have said repeatedly at least one of our next car purchases will almost certainly be a full EV.

I don’t like Teslas, but I love EVs.

But go into one of the vehicle specs sub forums and say something remotely negative about that particular vehicle, and watch the fireworks 💥
What have I complained about? The internet is undefeated so whatever I posted is still there.

I actually did take a break at the time from even the EV forum because I was on a work project. The reason I didn't post in the General Forum when I came back was because...I had nothing to post. I hadn't driven a gas car in awhile. When I drove my friends Boxster S, I had something to post 🙂. BTW, love that Porsche 🙂

Let me be clear…I have no issue with debating EVs vs ICE here or in the EV forum lol. By all means!

I'm not the one who bothers you about that. I don't care how people fuel

Went out to Arizona for a day trip and ended up busting a hole in my transmission pan on an ungraded road. If I had known the roads weren't graded in this town I would have brought my truck instead.

This is going to get expensive.

It's hopefully just a pan, fluid, and filter. I only drove it maybe a few hundred feet. Most of the fluid came out after parking.

Btw @Striker223 and @BayeauxLex , getting a ZF8 into neutral with no fluid is a PITA
