ITS GROCERY DAY!
Husband and I hop in the i3 to head out. Husband blurts out: "God, this thing is like an overgrown golf cart".
I just ignore him and park in the Free EV charging parking spot, plug in the car. He stares at the charger.. "You can charge your car for free? Damn, that's better than dumping 55 bucks of gas in the truck." :

We get in the store and start shopping. I'm still mad about the golf cart comment, he knows it. We move on shopping silently protesting and insulting each other by holding simply by holding up products that can be taken as "less than PC" if twisted around as such. Some of the products are below. We found waaay more though. We could barely stay on our feet because we were quietly laughing, hard. Had to prop ourselves up on the shopping cart to stand up. We're still sore from dampening down hard laughter. After 27 years of marriage this is what it comes to.

I own one and agree...to the point of calling my i3 "The Bavarian Golf Cart" all the time as a term of endearment.

If the i3 had a bench seat in the front, I would be tempted to move the shift knob from the steering column to the front of the bench seat where it is located on golf carts:

After the Bavarian Golf Cart comment, did he get the "singles" part?

Getting to 28 might be in jeopardy...

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."

If you're bored and need a good laugh. Go into a flooring store. Go to the carpet section. Start looking at the names of carpet whilst considering porn star names or film titles to porn. Freaking hilarious! It's almost as if they are trying to do this intentionally.

Case in point:

and

Not all the names are winners, but damn; some of them really make you think about where there head was at.

Surprised there isn't a carpet called "Happy Ending".

I worked at a flooring center for a very short period of time, basically dealing with contractors. The sales girl and I were bored one afternoon, so we started picking out carpet for her new place. When we started compiling the list, is when we noticed how bizarre the names were. (i.e. Silent Whisper, Plentiful Bounty, Limitless Aspiration, Secret Desires, etc.) She was damn near embarrassed to ask for pricing. We jokingly started making up our own names and had a list compiled. Not sure whatever happened to that girl, but she was fun to work with.
