The EPA rating is 234 Miles (at 70 mph using 95 percent of a full charge), but two publications rated its useful range at 190, which I assume figures that few owners will want to risk discharging the battery to 5%. Charging from 5% to 80% takes 33 minutes at a "fast" charger and 49 minutes to...

Only 190 Miles from what I read and more than a few Dealers are trying to extract pricing far above MSRP from eager buyers. Europe is also offered a shorter two-row version which is not available in the North American market.

Volkswagen's ID.Buzz EV Van is beginning to arrive at U.S. Dealers. We were at our Dealer having my wife's '17 Golf 5-Speed serviced and the Service Manager invited us back for a sneak peak before they hit the showroom. We love the cheerful two-tone colors that harken back to storied VW vans...

Gotta love that mailbox. :D Times are hard.

Tony Stewart's #14 from 04/16/2016 at Pineville, NC. First race of the 2016 Sprint Cup series would come a week later. [D5100]

Another nice, unmodified 2007 Fahrenheit Edition found at Columbia, SC (USA) on 02/12/2022. [D5100]

The Illinois Central's passenger trains were painted in a beautiful chocolate and orange scheme, but as the years wore on, the IC fell upon hard times. It was to merge with the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio RR, change its name to the Illinois Central Gulf RR and sell of many of its secondary lines. What...

Here's the Illinois Central's Kankakee, IL station as found in October 1990. I also tried a time exposure with a mediocre result. [Nikon N2020, Kodachrome]

2-Door 2015 Mk-7 GTI taken at a Dealership in May that year. The Mk-5 and Mk-6 generations perhaps looked the coolest I think. [D5100]

Ha ha -- yes, a great spot. 😊 I wish VW still made 2-Door GTIs -- they look so cool. I think their production ended with the 2017 models during the Mk-7 reign? Starting with the 2025's, manual transmissions will also be taken away. A very sad GTI and R milestone. 50% of GTIs and Rs sold in...

As found at Cary, NC (USA) last weekend, a lovely 2007 VW Mk-5 Fahrenheit Edition GTI in Magma Orange with 18" alloy wheels. Only 1,200 were produced and are a rare find today. It's nice to see these in original condition. The Fahrenheit Edition was expensive, selling at $28,000, an...

As seen in better days east of Asheville on the Loops at Ridgecrest, an NS westbound is about to enter Swannanoa Tunnel. [12/26/2013, D5100]

Thank you. We saw a few detour moves after Helene, but not many. NS's line through Asheville will be restored from the west, from Newport, TN. The damage is so severe that it'll take until the end of January 2025 to complete the work. NS's line from the east through Old Fort, NC and the...

Caught some action on Saturday afternoon just west of Raleigh, NC at Cary. The passenger trains have a locomotive at each end to quicken turnaround time at the end terminals at Raleigh and Charlotte. Freight is also to be found here. [D5100]

Your photographs are extraordinary @Woodyg3 and I never tire of them. I often carry my laptop into our kitchen to share them with my wife while she's cooking dinner. She enjoys them as much as I do. :)

I read that its shutter type is "Electronically-controlled vertical-travel focal-plane mechanical shutter; electronic front-curtain shutter; electronic shutter". I'm not well schooled in today's cameras. So then it has a mechanical shutter and an electronic shutter?

Caught a northbound Norfolk Southern empty grain train yesterday in South Carolina with their blue Conrail heritage locomotive trailing. This is one of twenty Norfolk Southern locomotives specially painted in colors of the many older railroads that are now part of NS. Maybe someday I can find...

What crop are they working?

From July 13, 2008 at Frostburg, Maryland, Western Maryland Scenic 734 takes a spin on the turntable. [Nikon N2020, Kodachrome]

Love the GTI! 😍
