That is very true. Just seems crazy to predict that when overall car market is maybe up a percent or two in total sales and when a $7,500 tax credit for EV’s is most likely going away which will probably mean EV sales go down or MAYBE stay flat.

Yea I know. I was there about 9 months ago. There were some killer lease deals on EV’s (still are, but that is when I first started looking), but after running the numbers it just wasn’t worth it for that “new car” feeling. My wife’s car is paid off, has like 93k miles, is a ‘13 and she gets 40+ MPG and only has like…

20 to 30% growth? This dude just makes shit up constantly.

I am going to be a real Debbie downer, but I think the answer here is to not buy anything right now. ’06 Accord with only 110k miles isn’t going to cost you much to keep running, so I guess unless you absolutely want an EV, it just seems odd. My wife and I are in a similar situation, and it just doesn’t make financial…

Yea, so this isn’t the same thing at all. That is changing the speed limit from 55 to 70 or anything like that. You are talking about wholesale infrastructure upgrades and changes which is way different.

Yea, but still a great built-in market, especially for the retired and not so well heeled ex-NBAers.

While I agree with that to some extent. The hitting “911" and it sending an “urgent notification to rider support” makes me think they want to screen the calls before they go somewhere that might find something interesting or scary about their rides. 

I drive past it to and from work. That isn’t a cemetery though, that is a house. They planted all those bushes a few years ago to block the noise and stuff from the 5 lane road at the end of this small street. Once I saw it, I recognized those bushes.

My ‘07 Highlander Hybrid is still going strong at 295k miles. The battery has definitely seen better days, but it still works, just has noticeably reduced capacity.

Hmm, I wonder why they would want to make any “911" calls indirect? Like maybe they want to hide the fact that stuff goes wrong in their driverless cars and they don’t want anyone to know?

Define “free”? Is that just purchase price or does that include maintenance and other associated costs? If it includes other costs, I am going with something super rare and expensive since I couldn’t afford it otherwise. I’ll go with a Ferrari 250GTO, I will never be able to afford one and wouldn’t even be able to pay…

Not a cemetery, but it is right here!

Where this is located, it has definitely been sitting for a while, and this is a sale after death or after moving to a care home and selling the house transaction.

I saw Bmore and then looked at the pictures and knew this was right down road from my office. I went NP, the area this is in means it is probably a one owner car that was well taken care of. I wouldn’t buy it, but someone out here might want it.

I doubt anywhere near 2% of the country knows this organization exists, maybe .02%, but probably even less than that since that is 66k people or so.

Yep, those damn Kei cars are hurting everyone!!!

Yea, one of these would/could be decent for my wife. But with her current car getting 40MPG+, being paid off and still less than 100k miles while having a low mile commute, it just doesn’t make sense for her. I honestly wouldn’t mind it for my drive, but space could be an issue.

But that would have nothing to do with highway speed limits, more about being on a highway vs a country road or another low speed road. Moving a highway from say 55 or 60 to 70 or 80 MPH will not give the time savings this person says.

Man, if only Shaq knew and worked around a bunch of guys that are typically very tall...haha.

Uhh, without knowing the distances, this doesn’t math up. Are you saying that previously you were doing 2 hours at 40 MPH and now 1 hour at 80? And to drop a 5 hour drive down to 3 from 55 MPH you would need to be doing 92MPH.
