An interesting note on parking EVs in a garage. Good friends just downsized and bought a condo with one parking space in the underground garage. Would have been great as they travel for months at a time using their other vehicle - their Nissan Leaf would be inside and protected. Whoops, somebody didnt read the fine print - no EVs in the underground garage due to potential fire hazard. 50 year old building made of concrete, seriously, concrete ceilings in all the units.

Concrete will weaken and crumble under excessive heat, and EV fires produce a LOT of heat.

Here is the new Ranchero

I can’t tell if it’s some kind of fancy camper or a hearse but I dig those Oompa Loompa rear doors.

That's where you load your e-scooter into the bed.

Looks like a Ford Crown Vic (or Lincoln or Mercury equivalent) that had the rear half chopped.

I’d drive it.
Me too, honestly I'm partial to the Ranchero. Dad had a couple of different year models before I was born. The one that I am the most fond of is the 75 or 76 that he had when I was 5 or 6 years old. It wasn't as nice as the one pictured. It was primer grey with big and little Cragar SSs with the classic hot rod rake. Great picture Duke!

I wish I could take credit for the pic but I found it online.

Actually, I’ve been there with my Ranger!

Pics or it never happened, right?

That's cool Duke! Looks like it is one heck of a scenic road trip. Like your truck in the foreground. Nice touch!😁
