Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

As a more progressive guy who owns solar panels, drives an EV, and been moving over to plant based meat substitutes a few times a week, yeah, I do miss the era of the old cars, they had style along with their absolutely crap gas mileage.

Don't miss the overt racism that went along with it of course.

I just want physical controls in my car.

Oh, and if they're going to let these 6L-flat-grill-death-plow-4'-bed-hemi trucks drive around as folks commuter vehicles can I at least get the banned 80s flip up head lights back?

At this point I'd settle on a car that isn't spying on me, doesn't download updates without my permission and only uses wireless connectivity for navigation and connection to my phone

Someday I would love to drop the body of a '55 Chevy on an EV frame. Really bored by car styles these days for the most part but love the stuff that goes inside them quite a lot.

I'm in a similar spot. I love everything about old 50s era cars but the milage. I love how nice they look. I love how fun they are to work on. I love the cooshiy bench seats. I love the feel of how all the switches and nobs cuthunk all the time. Really I just want a modern engine and transmission to make my bel air a practical car in me modern day. Hell considering how fast I drive I'd be down to engine swapping it with a Prius or something like that. I've heard that Corvettes are ridiculously fual efficient despite being a sport car so I should really get around to seeing if thad make my car fast and practical.

I'd love to have a 67 Mustang GT Fastback as an EV with dual motors.

I don't have an EV, but I'd like an electric mid-sized utility truck that has physical controls, a good radio, and some thought given to durability and repair concerns. As long as they're all cars or trucks with touch screens and remote software updates, I'm not interested.
