Same reason people want to work in Antarctica.

Also, the moon isn't populated by idiots.

My DD finally arrived last Monday, took over a year from order. All thanks to the chip shortage.. It's a PHEV, sat on my drive until today when I mustered up the enthusiasm for my first drive. It was done in HD, VistaVision, full blown electric mode.. What can I say?? It's comes under the category of 'white goods'.

Oh, I learned that my wife likes the sound of the BRZeeee. She's not a fan of electric cars, too quiet.. zero interaction.. This comes from a woman who hates driving.

White goods are appliances

Phev is partial hybrid electric vehicle

VistaVision is some marketing term for tv screens

I think...
