Cool read! Looks like we’ve got some competition! :)
I’m part of the beekeeping club at Jaguar Land Rover’s Gaydon office and we’ve got 4 hives. There are are also some 150,000 bees at the Solihull office, and a third location will start soon too. We might even be able to beat Rolls Royce soon!

They are pretty glorious. I never understood people using them as storage instead of keeping your very expensive automobile away from the elements. 

A Garage. No scraping ice and brushing off snow, frozen wipers, waiting for warmup, slipping when getting in or out, etc. 

Winter tires are one thing, however, if you live in the land of potholes that could hide a basketball and 7 cats, you need to have a whole lot of sidewall between the wheel rim and the road.

I’m finding that the older I get, the more cold averse I become. I also get cheaper (ahem...”frugal”) every year, and inflation surely isn’t helping matters.

How to scope out the wrenching job—making a mental list of the tools/materials/sweat equity it’ll take to complete and realize one of three things:

When to call it quits and call in an expert, not just keep pushing blindly on.

Read the entire instructions before commencing work.

I just don’t think a noise coming out of a speaker will elicit the same response as an actual mechanical machine exploding gasoline and moving pistons.  I think having a speaker simulating exhaust would cheapen the whole experience. 

I remember seeing a car parading in front of a Ford dealership as a kid that was covered in Lemons.  Dad went there to shop because he figured if a Lemon Ford could still drive it was better than his Chevy.

It was a long time ago but IIRC his rate was $0.26 per mile over the 36k - his best option was just to buy out the lease rather than pay $15k+ and not get to keep the car

We had one, now how many dealers we went through to find it, that is a whole separate story.

I believe the request was for actual experiences.

OH man that lease return.. dude how much was it - what is it like 50 cents a mile over.. oh my sweet lord that had to be a rough one.

A woman standing across the street from a Pontiac/GMC dealer with several large cardboard signs screaming “LEMON” and she herself was dressed in yellow and had several plastic lemons affixed to her clothes.

I used to work at Tesla in the early days, and would moonlight for sales on the weekend doing test drives and evaluating trade-ins. One Day a Russian lady came into the dealer with her used model s and wanted to trade it in for a new one. It was odd to us because she had only bought it six months ago.

A pleasant, painless, honest, straightforward purchasing experience at a Kia dealership.

Pennsylvania? My dad and I used to walk around car lots on Sundays specifically for that reason.
