Re leasing: the possible downside in this scenario is if the mother must stop driving before the lease is up. I guess the question then becomes, is being in a lease any worse than being in either a loan or outright ownership of the car? (That’s not a rhetorical question.)

What is automatic rear braking?

After sitting on a toilet for the previous 24 hours you probably needed a nap.

To the person with the Nissan van you likey got 0 hits for 18k because the price is too high. These vehicles are sold to fleets incredibly cheep. Company I used to work for bought a few ford transit connects for 17k brand new.

In a nutshell, it’s selfish behavior and gaming the system.

MalwareBytes was tested - if you click through to the actual report it’s on there. It’s on the list of 80 that detected at least 30% of malicious apps and had zero false alarms. Malwarebytes scored 99.4% (34th out of those 80) on catching bad apps and APK’s.
