Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

    Seems like a pretty cool car, after all it’s electric and it looks pretty alright. It’s the LCD screens that confuse me. Navigation systems aren’t really important to me so I’m not really that into this feature.
