I disagree with all these statements. While those things are certainly hard to do, with enough research and preparation, they are certainly within the scope of a good do-it-yourselfer.

Possibly.  I’ve been watching RichRebuilds on Youtube and it doesn’t look all that hard.  But for those who can’t turn a wrench, a new Tesla battery is like $30k.  That alone is going to send a lot of good condition cars to the crusher.

By the time an EV depreciates (to a price point that I can afford), it’s going to need a new battery that costs substantially more than the car is worth. Throngs of EV’s in fine condition will go the crusher because the battery is toast.

This is good. People want EV’s. I want one, although their disposable nature means they’ll never depreciate to my price point and still be usable.

Ambient Techno works for me. Not to be confused with techno. It’s low and slower with no lyrics.

First question:  Do you have a million dollars?

Every GM with “Skip Shift”. To beat CAFE standards, when you go to shift from 1st to 2nd at less than full throttle, an electronic solenoid pushes you over into 4th instead. If I ever meet the person who invented it, I’m going to punch him in the face.

In my county, registering to vote gets a survey mailed to you to determine if you’re eligible for jury duty. Don’t fill it out if you don’t want to serve on a jury. I’ve been throwing them out for 30 years and never been called on.

Kratom.

A lot of coin, but I think if you want a good one, it’s going to cost you.

Checking Home Depot, the cheapest electric dryer is $209 and the cheapest heat pump dryer is $1449. At $85/year savings on your electric bill, it will take 15 years to break even. And it certainly won’t even last that long (also keep in mind that a heat pump dryer is massively more complex inside).

She’s single.  I could hook you up.

AngryExWife takes half my pay. I roll on a $1500 motorcycle in rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

I wouldn’t be concerned with the salvage title. It would end up with one anyways.

AngryExWife is a special education teacher and I can tell you that when parents bring in one of these, the goal changes from “Helping the child” into “Not getting sued”. If you don’t need one, don’t do it. And if you do need one, move to a better school district.

You mention 2001 A Space Odyssey but don’t put it on the list? The first 23 minutes of the movie has no dialog - just grunting monkeys and floating space ships - and it’s magnificent!

This would get you a free ride on the toll roads in Virginia.  NP.

Unless it was mine.  Then you’d see them all capped off the the choke wired open.

I was thinking Turbo LS swap and drag slicks.
