You mean like when Toyota markets PHEV'S as "EV'S"?

​​​Hi @AMIRZA786

That one is still debated and I think the last thread on that got shut down, I think. Lol

Calling a HEV an EV would be going a little too far.

Maybe a good subject for a new thread if it can stay friendly and open. Lolol

You should absolutely get it. Then I can test drive it 😀

Apparently bears are safer forest companions than men now.

How true. At least I know there's a 90 percent chance a Bear would want to tear my face right off. With my fellow man, I have absolutely no idea what that smile actually means...

As sad an indictment as it may be, I can absolutely understand why that "bear vs man" thing has gone the way it has gone.

Don't feel bad buddy.

Thanks to @SW17LS I get it.

That isn't what it is, there's s story behind the joke relating to a recent viral hypothetical asking if woman lost and alone in a forest would rather encounter a bear or a man.

Most of the women answering are choosing the bear, for reasons that are unfortunately all too obvious (or should be), and needless to say it's sparking a predictable debate.

Not to get off topic and continue this, but for my wife and daughter being in that situation, I think I'd rather the Bear. At least they have a 50/50 chance 😞

and like your cartoon shows, the bear gets a vote too and might not slink off to comfort from a man... may just eat the woman. especially if she's annoying enough.

Saw my first Cybertruck on the road yesterday, just about a mile or so from my house. From what I can tell, it doesn't seem to be selling very well in my area...which is perhaps not surprising, as the traditional full-sizers (except for the slow-selling Nissan Titan) have long-ruled the truck market here.
