  2. Yep, I love my 2017 Corvette Stingray with a manual transmission because: 1. removable roof for more sound and wind 2 . feel the rumble 3. hear the 4 upgraded NPP exhausts 4. engaging because I use all 4 limbs with a manual transmission 5. sexy red color 6. gadgets and gizmos galore 7. the base model corners at 1.03G , even higher in the ZR1 at 1.30 G 8. stops from 60-0 mph in 90ft. 9. accelerates from 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds (manual transmission). 10. sit low so it feels special unlike a normal height car. 11. from the driver's seat: look at the sexy bulging front fenders over the hood and hood vents , or rear fender vents in the side mirrors 12. Ferrari 458 like headlights with the LED running down the sides 13. vents galore 14. lightweight 3300 lbs 15. large trunk so it's my daily commuter car and grocery getter and for vacations (holds 2 overhead suit cases and I can still stow the roof) 16. ECO mode gives me a maximum of 37 mpg (39 mpg max when I added front winglets) at 85-88 mph. 17. the autorev matching makes daily commuting in traffic not as bad. 18. unique looking 4 center mounted exhausts 19. infotainment stays updated because it has Apple Carplay 20. flat-bottom steering wheel 21. staggered sized wheels 22. hood hinge is mounted near the bumper is cool 23. no door handles is cool 24. Cheap maintenance and is reliable, with Chevrolet dealerships everywhere 25. It emails me an alert if tire pressure is low or oil needs to be changed, etc. 26. tons of aftermarket parts/accessories (I added carbon fiber at the bottom of the steering wheel, black/red diamond stiched seat covers, louder exhaust at startup via mild2wild, more power with Attack Blue air filter, more power/agility by replacing the heavy runflat OEM tires with lightweight Michelin Pilot 4S, aluminum bezel knobs) 27. customizable settings for steering wheel (heavy, light), acceleration, handling, exhaust note, ride firmness/softness 28. the Bose stereo has noise cancellation so it sounded better than a $100k Lexus LC500 and Lexus LS500 to me.

  20. TESLA: There's only a 5 year world supply for lithium batteries (and Tesla is using up too much of that for the few , compared to how little a smartphone uses for everyone). Current electrical infrastructure can't supply the electricity to all homes. Powerlines contribute to forest fires. Lithium batteries are mined by African children. Lithium batteries create toxic disposal wastes. There needs to be a law that prioritizes lithium for smartphones over electric cars because cars have petroleum and hydrogen alternatives. Providing more lithium batteries for EV cars is just opening a can of worms because the electrical grid cannot support every house. Not everyone can or wants to incur the cost of solar panels (which from my friend's experience only lasted 7-10 years) I have 4 cars, 2 cars (kids' cars) are parked outside. A battery manufacturer should sell to the highest payer. Ford, GM, and VW have deep pockets and they can pay more for the batteries and put Tesla out of business. An electric truck makes no sense because tests have shown that the battery drains faster when it has to pull. Hydrogen vehicles make more sense in trucks than EV. Hydrogen vehicles fuel up in 5 minutes like gas cars and they have a 1000mpg range; EV you have to wait 45+ minutes (and you have to wait for the guy in front of you to finish his charging) THere isn't a plugin at every corner like a a gas station and the charge is 50 minutes+ (assuming you aren't waiting for the guy before you to finish his charging) Gas stations pay tax to maintain roads, EVs don't That would cause a lot of unemployment.
