Yeah, of course. Now, ask me if I can remember all the names of all the gfs over the years, -- that's a real challenge.

Wow, talk about memory lane...My folks purchased a brand new Galaxy 500, i believe it was a '73 model -- lime green exterior as I recall, with a dark green interior (hey, it was the '70s!) I think that was their first new car. Aunt and Uncle had the slightly more expensive LTD sedan, light blue...

Yeah, I have yet to met anyone who's driven a Mazda and didn't like it. Sorry about your luck on the truck, FWIW, I know many others here share in your pain.

The Rivian R1T is remarkable in many ways, but just for grins, I thought it would be fun to evaluate my 2026 Rivian RiT compared to all other vehicles I have owned. How does yours stack up? 1971 Pontiac Ventura: This sister of the Chevy Nova was the first and cheapest car I ever owned, got me...

Congrats on your milestone!

FWIW, my Gen 2 R1T AC seems to struggle to cool the cabin on these super hot sunny summer days, regardless of Pet mode. It feels like a traditional AC that's low on Freon.

I must say I like how your aero hub caps put the Rivian logo next to the valve stem to make it faster and easier to locate!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Tesla_Autopilot_crashes From AI web summary of "Tesla FSD fatalities" As of October 2025, there have been a total of 65 reported fatalities involving Tesla vehicles. Among these, 2 fatalities occurred while the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system was engaged...

I appreciate the passion you bring to the defense of Tesla's FSD, but you might want to link to sources in support of your position. Using hyperbole undercuts your argument; for instance, to achieve even 1,000,000 miles of testing would take one test vehicle 2.85 years if driven at an average...

well, that pretty much tracks with Tesla‘s modus operandi, and just goes to further validate my decision to go with Rivian rather than Tesla. I can tolerate mistakes made by a company operating in good faith, but I cannot abide a company willfully knowingly, and purposefully,manipulating the...

While RJ states that supervised point to point driving is coming to all GEN 2 Rivian vehicles, I would not trust any camera – only system with such a task due to the inherent limitations and failure modes inherent in such a system. RJ also claims that the LiDAR - equipped R2 vehicles will not...

wonder what's under the hood, wonder if the stretcher would not fit in tunel

You can spend $$$ and get it fixed, or wear it proudly so everyone thinks that you and the R1T work just like a "real" truck.

All this for an advert? Can even my Rivian transport me somewhere out of the reach of marketing?

Some potential buyers are paralyzed by FOMO and over analysis leading to confusion rather than clarification. But consider the alternative universe where technological development stagnates or moves much more slowly, and ask yourself if that is a preferable universe. Do you really want to...

Silver hides dirt the best, no question. I like silver on cars for that reason, but get whatever color you like the best. I got the forest green because if I waited to get a silver one, I risked loosing out on the $7500 rebate. I like Forest Green, but it shows dirt like dandruff on a black...

Heh. No doubt, or even the discarded Perrier bottles to be even more on point.

I have not seen too many auroras in my lifetime, but the a dozen or so that I have seen have all been mostly green, not purple. I should also comment that it's hard to write articles like this one without sounding unbearably pretentious. Reviews of hi end stereo equipment, Chardonnays, and...

It's encouraging to see the sales bump, especially this soon after the end of the subsidy. The stock is worth what the investors are willing to pay for it, and that isn't necessarily tied to the performance of the company. But Rivian's success, like most any other company, isn't dependent upon...

Unless I am mistaken, I believe the difference in question revolves around unlocking the $5K software performance package rather than choosing a tri-motor or quad-motor over the dual motor. This is a software update that basically alters how the motors, suspension etc. respond to driver...
