re: Let's all take a moment to point and laugh at what is going down on the 40 Acres

It's funny that Toyota actually officially decided that that's the plural form.

But on the real, the only times I've ever seen those utter failures, the Chevy Volt, on the streets in real life has been in Austin.

On the flip side, there are more Teslas per capita here than in Houston or Dallas, and Teslas actually are pretty badass. But Dallas and Houston both annihilate Austin in terms of the Ferrari and Lamborghini per capita ratio because people have real "frick you money" in those cities, which isn't present in Austin to nearly that extent. This past December in Houston, I saw a man outside Home Depot on 610 north strapping a Christmas tree to the roof of a Maserati Quattroporte, without even bothering to lay a barrier between the tree and the roof to prevent scratches, by just throwing it up there and tying it through the open windows with twine that had to have been abrading the headliner.
