Around my area, people make decent money but your figure of $1300 / month for a mortgage is about too small by 2.5-3X. So, people go for the house and drive mediocre cars. Very common to see $1 million plus homes with a several year old base model mid size sedan or 8 year old middle of the road SUV. As much as I love…

Just like how many headlines are run that don’t actually take into account context.

No, but if one automaker decides to zig instead of zag with everyone else, and fuel prices drop, the zigger might be at an advantage by just meeting the regulations since it typically costs more (and cars would sell for more) if they meet the higher specs. This puts the advantage back to the automaker who is still…

This “article” is good? Really?! If they had done what you said and gone into what exactly was happening to result in certain people getting charged more (was it race or was it based on income?) and what the current administration believe is wrong with the bill, then it would have been a good article or blog post. As…

I agree with what you said but just like gasoline, electric rates vary even more wildly. I can compare with number from my PHEV. If I run in hybrid mode vs electric, only in recent months am I saving, and even then, a little $, going electric vs gasoline hybrid. Check my spreadsheet below for my analysis 18-20 months…

And while Amazon is doing well and has heavily invested into itself, Apple is crushing it when it comes to turning an actual profit.

Getting seen for an emergency is not the same as what I was describing. No system is perfect but I would take the US system, based on quality of health services, not payment system, any day.

Illegally, without car seats and uncomfortably.

Go enjoy it then. Have a real medical emergency and then realize you won’t be seen for months.

I am just across the expressway from most of Quincy. You learn quickly which traffic info you can trust (pretty accurate overall) and when to avoid a different suggestion.

I am waiting on wireless for this as well. My usb connector is worn on the phone so I can barely charge it and no way it will stay in place in the car. Luckily I have a work cell phone that I can plug in.

I believe the thin, tall strip is likely wide open to the wheel well. I even have that on my ‘16 Sonata PHEV, not for brake cooling but for better air flow. All for aero and lower drag coefficient.

Why bother? I am sure someone on the west coast will give up their bed for you to use for the night while they hoon the AMG all night long.

I have seen the Turbo Sport Turismo the last 2 weeks at my son’s soccer games. It looks great, even better in person. The AMG looks great too. If I wanted to fly under the radar, go with the AMG. Get a little more attention (not too much since Panameras are fairly common, for a Porsche), go with the Sport Turismo.

Absolutely. I check google maps before I leave for the day and then plug it in and run Android Auto. I have been driving the same route for over 10 years but it is a beast from NW of Boston to just south of Boston in the evening rush hour (now stretching from ~2:30 until 7 pm). I have many routes that I can take on…

Saw one of these at my sons soccer game. This is the ideal family car. It looks even better in person.

No, you reform first otherwise you just add more money to the mix that can be mismanaged. Say that they audit and reform and find 10% savings (likely way more). You use those new found funds which then just increased your abilities to address issues by roughly the same %. If this isn’t sufficient, then consider adding…

What about the signs in the crosswalk that pedestrians assume means they can just enter the roadway at anytime forcing a car to stop?

I am pretty sure you need a passport or an enhanced drivers license, the latter you can only get in states that border Canada directly I believe.

Don’f forget, the 3 you saw likely stickered north of $50k since they prioritized high option cars so at best in a few years that high option car will likely be worth just below a base price model. I saw a black one on the Southeast Expressway on Friday. With no badging on it, you would really have to know it is a…
