    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    I asked a friend that is a professional ref here in the US about this Friday night. He said the guidance is to let it play out and then bring it back.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I used to never listen to the radio but with the kids now more at a age to talk more and be constantly talking over top of my podcasts I gave up on listening with them in the car and back to the radio I went.

    I stumbled on that on the R2 forums this weekend as well. Pretty disappointing IMO.

    RTT...20-20 hindsight.

    Last time I did work on a ceiling fan I forgot to turn off the power. That was tingly.

    FIFA's Fleecing of US Cities for World Cup

    Yeah I saw an article in the recent days about a supposed discussion they had with leaders from LA and where FIFA reaps all the monetary benefit while LOS ANGELES gets the "prestige" of hosting.

    FWIW this will not meet the derecho criteria as it has not continued long enough.

    Tons of rain in CR. despite the warning we have had next to no wind. It just did not mix down as radar was seeing 80+ wind a few thousand feet up.

    I'm saying there is likely other factors such as placement, not emptying it etc. that are in play. They absolutely did not get a FOOT of rain.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    To be fair there are 2+ years of people getting in line ahead of you for what is looking like a very popular vehicle. The emails reservation holders got today indicates they will find time lines on ordering etc. in the next month.

    Yeah. The Rivian subreddit has been a good source of info.

    R2 wise you are looking probably well over a year out if you got in line right now anyway.

    We had that a couple of years ago but did not use it. Should have but it was here in CR so we figured why spend the money. Open bar on NYE...
