    Scout EV debuted today!

    it's a VW sub brand. not sure if they are planning on selling outside the US, but there are upcoming EU regs that will REQUIRE physical buttons. you legally won't be able to put all the controls in a dash mounted tablet. probably a lot of common VAG parts underneath.

    Your favorite horror movie is...?

    Spice World not really much of a Horror fan. I prefer a good Comedy, but in the Horror Genre, I'd have to go with Evil Dead/Evil Dead 2 ( basically the same move, just they re-did it with an actual film budget, instead of some Friends making a movie.) and By God i mean the Originals, not the...
