    College applications discussion

    A father posted this last week and recently the Reddit mods deleted the post - can't have people openly discussing these things I guess?? Fortunately I had an old tab open.

    ICE or EV?

    I think the only time I drive ICE is when I rent a car and I've rented Audis, BMWs, Japanese, American (yeah I know the rentals are usually the low end models) and the driving experience is always subpar. I also have to remember to turn off the car and to lock it lol..
