World Cup: Quarterfinals, Day 2
I ended up listening to both matches yesterday as we decided to buy a new car at pre-trade war prices. We bought a 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid and it is pretty sweet. It’s electric for 48 miles, then hybrid. So for most normal life stuff, you run EV. It’s a whole ‘nother world! Back …
