8·
9 months agoI own a '94 Miata and a KIA EV6, and I drive my electric vehicle far more than my stick shift. It’s a different kind of fun, having so much power instantly and it’s an incredibly smooth & quiet ride. The maintenance and fuel costs are far cheaper too.
It’s gotten to the point where I’m not driving my Miata enough to keep the battery charged and the fuel fresh. I still love driving it though, nothing quite like a weekend drive with the top down…but it’s not my #1 choice to drive anymore.
My father in law (prior to his passing) worked for the National Science Foundation and his job was to investigate grant fraud like this. Apparently it happens all the time.
