Other than the titty-baby impulse to shitcan everything good Obama and Biden did, I simply don’t understand my TSF would give two shits about start-stop. He doesn’t drive.

Start-stop is a cool feature. My hybrid automatically goes into EV mode at traffic lights and it has the extra punch from the electric engine when the light turns green.
