I frequent another Carolina based forum and one of the members posted this about his nephew who was recently severely injured. This is a long thread but very inspiring. Maybe some of you can even make a small donation to his foundation. I have PMed Zod about using his connections to see if he can get some of the TopCats to visit the kid but I not heard back yet.

Before he was moved to Charlotte from Raleigh, several of the Carolina Hurricane players came to visit him and Thomas Davis came by the other day to see him. (Pics of TD in the thread.)

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Aw, that is bad news. Hopefully the little dude gets better.

FYI, it's hard to get Zod to respond to a PM (well at least from me) but I know he would most likely help in any way.

Hit him up on FB or try to get aholt to Hawk, Dimbee, Saltman, Panthro or *shudder* Jase. They are on the secret mod forum and can prolly get aholt to Zod toot-sweet.

Thanks for taking the time to read it. Yes he does seems to be making great progress! Hopefully that will continue and he can get back to how he was before the accident, or at least very close to it.

I can't imagine having to deal with something like this. They are a very strong family.

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
