Topsy-turvy times.
I’ll tell you what, friends. It is impossible to land on the “right side” of anything anymore (read: left side). Up is down, down is up, Liberals hate John F. Kennedy’s hunky nephew and Conservatives hate wars against Russia. Wild times, to say the least, with even the weather subject to vicious disagreement.
The current U.S. President Joe Biden appears to be getting busted for talking about sunshine, cloud, rains, etc. with a nice fella named Devon Archer and a humble surf journalist, having just celebrated his 5000th culturally valuable story, received many licks for suggesting that surfers should trade Teslas in for ’69 Camaro Super Sports seeing that climate change has been directly tied to bigger waves, at least as it concerns California.
The Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans had analyzed nearly a century’s worth of data and concluded that wave heights, in the Golden State, have risen by an average of a foot since 1969.
“This is just another indication that overall average wave heights have increased significantly since 1970 — since the advent of the upward trend in global warming,” Peter Bromirski, researcher emeritus at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the study’s author, told National Public Radio.
Climate change.
Carbon in the atmosphere etc.
Well, surfers thrilling at the thought of Making Cardiff Reef Mavericks Again had allegedly been trading their earth-saving electric Teslas for ’69 Chevrolet Camaro Super Sports, the gorgeous piece of American Muscle that sports a 6.5L V8 pushing 375 hp that gets, roughly, 6.7 miles per gallon.
Pure red, white and blue (minus the blue).
What should have thrilled patriots, though, seemed to annoy.
“I’m sorry but I want 3 minutes of my life back for reading this useless article. the only thing it does is villainize surfers who like classic cars, for crying out loud man let the guy buy a car, I’m sick of Tesla fanboys claiming their car is the best thing in the world. Watch this comment get deleted for being ‘aggressive’ when all I’m doing is telling the truth lol,” wrote Brian.
“Love how the journo kook that wrote this bitches about pollution while smoking in his profile pic, what a “’bad ass,’” added Pharm to Table.
“Neutral here, that is until, I saw the ‘marxist-ass-clown’ undertones in the writing of this article. We (real Americans) are not giving up good’ol fashion American Muscle…for weakass E.V.’s that are truly destroying the planet…” Nathan concluded really bringing the issue home.
Which also raises a practical point.
Who, here, has a “weakass” E.V.? What did you drive before? Are you happy with your choice?
I, currently, am in a 2017 Toyota Tacoma 4×4 that just ticked over 100,000 miles. Should I press on to 200,000 or pull the rip and get into… what?
Help!
Also, at time of writing Brian’s comment has not only not been deleted but dubbed the 3,987,666 most aggressive comment on BeachGrit thus far.

She’s gorgeous
We’d have to rethink our whole way of life. It wouldn’t replace that giant ute he’s driving either way.
Are you saying Joe’s decision to sell our strategic oil reserve to China had no impact on the global economy?
He could have waved his wand by vetoing the American Rescue Plan. He was gifted an economy that was recovering. There was no need to spend more. No reason at all. But that was their agenda. Then he moved forward with the left agenda item of the “Green New Deal Light” Infrastructure Law. Yet again note spending towards inefficient green agenda items.
Biden took office January 2021. Proterra went public same time. Energy Secretary Granholm (what a bitch) sat on the Board of Proterra. She divested her shares at $20/share netting her quite a profit. Proterra directly benefitted from Biden spending bills. Still went bankrupt.
Look at his corruption with Russian oligarchs. Widow of Moscow Mayor Elena Baturina, an oligarch unsurprisingly NOT being sanctioned by Joe Biden bc Hunter.was receiving money from her.
As President his policies most certainly do have world economic impacts.
He was wearing the nutcracker ballet tutu with Angel wings, wifebeater singlet over the top, hair slicker than grease, ciggie in mouth with HST filter and after descent loaded his bike upon blue Cayenne! A true warrior!
This is me, minus… I guess nothing!
You also wore a slip on moccasin/loafer of exquisite taste!
Fucking greedy cunts… Capitalism and sharks equals death!
so legitimate people should never try again.
Saudi’s win again.
Does the bike have a cigarette holder on the handlebars?
Somewhere along the way they started making easy to replace pushrod tube and return tube kits for those leaks. So easy to fix those leask without an engine repair like in the old days
I won’t buy an EV until the next leap in battery tech. I need to see improved thermo management and ideally a solid state battery with much improved charging times is when I will make the jump. The folks at Toyota/Lexus and VW AG/Porsche/Audi are roughly 3 years away from this next exponential leap

Might want to check the boneyard
AAPL & AARP = $ + low premiums
What is the expected life of an EV?why not nano solar paint on car always cycling?
I’ve read 15-20 yrs but who knows this early in the game.
excluding the x-games…the moves they make on mountains…endangered, of course. fly in your dreams?
tijuana slough’s progress
Last hippie van I saw had gasoline pouring out of a hole in its gas tank.
parked in front of Hussong’s Cantina?
Nope.
A place the NY Post is pushing as “the new Hamptons.”
The oil companies bought the patent to the car that runs on beachgrit comments.
your future is in batteries…call Battery Bob
equal op company…as far as the eye can see…
Needs more ‘cunt’, Brian. You’ll get the hang of it, mate.
If you love the earth and call it mom you should buy a pre 1975 VW bus like a real hippie. Oil leaks be damned.
you’ve listed the Camaro’s motor in liters? how dare you

Why trade it when you
Get twenty miles per story
You’re saving the world!
Push to 200,000 as a minimum. Drive it until is dies. There’s gotta be a better option than EVs coming soonish.
don’t fix it til you break it. 98 camry. oil change. 25 years later. Jiffy Dudes changed rearly flat tire w/a spare. serpentine belt is cracked…customer approved “don’t touch the radiator!”
I went up the back last week and one of my trailer tyres was flat. I immediately blamed the neightbours.
