I don’t like them that much, and when I do, I order them with mayo, which kind of will mess up the idea of reheating them. I’ll eat one a few times a year, but I’ll hit a “limit” I won’t want another for months. And this only applies to the McDouble. The cheeseburger is all bread.

Call me a snob, with perhaps the…

With gas prices the way they are, the bigger vehicles on this list are out for me. Unless you don’t want to go anywhere in them.
Honestly, I’m more about trying to figure out how I could unspool a ton of solar panels while I’m parked at this point. There was that solar EV van concept.... I’d try that.

VW might be your ticket.   I might go for a weekender conversion of that thing if they offer it. 

BEVs + PHEVs + HEVs are > 10% of the market and rising. It would appear that the only thing holding them back is a lack of choice.

I’d by a < 30 even a < 35K BEV if it had 300 miles range. I tell you what I won’t buy: I will not buy another ICE vehicle unless it is a PHEV if I can help it.

Seoul - trains go everywhere, roomy and clean. NYC- trains run nearly 24/7 and are cheap, London, good coverage, new options, Paris, same.   I’ve not ridden Tokyo, but I’ve heard it might be the best.  

for domestic use only, fly one out of the country, it won’t come back. And yeah, no access to parts, as others have noted. The lessors are indeed screwed, but Russia is screwed more.  I just feel bad for the people of Russia getting their kids sent home to them in boxes for what they were told was no big deal.  

True, one a road trip with a church group, car-caravan of sorts. My friend who was driving his car from college (now six kids later), blew a cylinder. Stopped off the road to repair his Sunbird, less than an hour later and < $100 in parts and we were on our way.   We all found this to be hilarious.

I love Volvos for many things, but reliability is not one of them.  Unless it’s a pre 1990 Volvo

If you need a big vehicle, minivans are ideal for most everything except large towing. I recently did the following with my minivan in the last month:

Agree. And minivans are a close second to station wagons. The only thing I would want to do with a big SUV is tow or go deep offroad, but maybe 2% of such owners do either of those two things.

Well, we’ll have to disagree there.  Suspension was fine, engine was not.

They could go mid-level like Acura and do fine.  But that was certainly their call.   Note that Mazda had a failed luxury attempt in the past, depends if they were going to learn from it. 

agree

Besides changing the oil, rotating tires, I had an A/C fan motor on my 1988 Toyota MR2 start making a loud grating noise and fail. I went under the dash and started taking stuff apart until I found the fan motor. I removed the fan motor, opened it up. Found some crap in it, cleaned it out, lubricated it, put it back…

Those two generators are worth more than the RV they are connected to. 

Not buying because they are insanely expensive and the depreciation is brutal.

Looks like my 2016 Mazda 6 is the only Mazda I will ever own.

Yeah, I figure the dually is for things like fifth wheels, but never seen a practical need for it.    Always had more problems with trailer tires blowing than the tow vehicle.   I’ve had that happen on my much smaller trailer.  

newer model year—more powerful engine. Also, when he did a GVWR with a back of the hand calc of what he had on board the trailer, they were likely at or exceeding it for the F250. In any case, blown engine. Nephew bought the salvage and found a replacement engine for $11k or something and replaced it six months later.…

My dad tows his fifth wheel with a diesel F-350 over the Rockies almost every year. He’s retired. My parents take it out where they were raised and live in it for 2 - 3 months. They need an F-350 for this purpose because when they towed it with a diesel F-250 they blew the engine.
Not everyone needs an F-350, but he…
