EV’S AND UNSALTED BUTTER

 

Just thinking about life and what makes us smile.

One train of thought goes to Clarkson in an episode of Top Gear on the Isle of Man as he was waiting for his test car to arrive.  That car was an Aston Martin.  Clarkson nearly had a euphoric melt down as he heard the car still some miles away before even seeing it.   The point being that our sensors are pricked by sight, sound, feel and emotion.  Clarkson was hooked just by sound before tasting the nuances of the Aston lapping up what it had to offer the senses.  Noise, rumble and a tactile feel enough to want an immediate lie down post test to recover.  This is like spreading proper salted butter on your morning toast leading to an eyes-shut flavour hit.

Then we have the lithium fossil fuel dependant EV with no rumble, no noise, no tactile feel and no fun.  This is akin to spreading unsalted butter on your toast.  It looks yellow, it spreads like salted butter but it’s missing the fun.  It’s probably better for you [maybe] and suffices to grease the toast but isn’t life too short not to have fun?  Your average EV is like unsalted butter in that it’s quick, does the same job as a real car, has seats and doors, has huge infotainment systems but no buttons to play with, no vibration and no wahoo.  Boring as batshit.  All the fun has been removed.  Unsalted butter!  Even restaurants serving unsalted butter sprinkle sea salt onto the yellow grease in an attempt to bring back the fun!

And remember, I can drive my ageing supercar for decades [University study] with less environmental impact than a new VW electric golf.  This fact is dodged by the woke-driven wanabees ignoring major battery issues such as lithium fossil fuel dependence, range insanity, charging times forcing in car sleeping and car end of life disposal problems.

Personally, I smile when I approach the garage because I know all my senses will be tested when my 24 year old Mercedes V12 fires up and I tootle off the work.  Salted butter!   Five minutes in a petrol station and there is another 600km of nonstop fun.

Please, stop the woke crap and the brain-mouth disconnects and the pontificating self entitled by trying to understand the real science and develop a proper environmentally friendly bio-fuel which will keep the fun rolling in millions of cars.  A trillion dollar reward may jog a few brain cells?

I like my butter salted!
