It's a Kilt, not a skirt

That’s why.
I believe that was also the theory Oso used when it came to landslide risk. The neighborhood that got wiped out was literally built on top of an old mudslide.
On a PBS Nova special about sink holes, they explained that Florida municipalities will zone areas for residential buildings even though the area is known for sinkholes. The reason? Until the home sinks into the ground, the municipalities get real estate taxes. Unbelievable.
That’s the joke.
Um, the national flood insurance program is growing increasingly expensive for the government because of climate change and even Republicans are looking to cut it. All parts of the government are CURRENTLY investigating ways to rein it in and mitigate that change. Not to mention, the damage caused by climate change…
For those interested, here’s a NatGeo article complete with maps showing what the shoreline looks like if all the ice melts. Note that some places would probably be uninhabitably hot, but that’s a harder thing to judge than under/above water, which we can look at basic topographical data to get an idea of. Note that…
I’m sure our very smart administration that has no monies for logical legislation (Medicare for All) will magically find billions of dollars for levies and other ridiculous band-aid fixes that buy Florida Man another 10 years of living on the coast.
Don’t tell the Miami City Commission that, they’ve never met a real estate development scheme they didn’t fast track.
I don’t think it’s worth limiting yourself to a 3-speed auto and needing to stretch the frame just to keep it in the family. By the time the Fiero came into existence a Pontiac V8 was the Chevy V8 anyway.

And states keep allowing it because as usual, the public’s response is “lol" instead of consumer action. But hey, whatevs.
“I shopped around and looked at the Kias, but couldn’t get past the massive depreciation hit on a 40k dollar Kia.”
Read C&D long-term wrap up of the Guilia. Unreal how much a piece of junk that vehicle is/was.
Close. It’s a Fisker Kiarma.
That’s a sweet looking Fisker Karma in Stinger trim
I have put 58k miles on a used Kia Forte(previously a rental car) in the past 18 months. I was driving in weather varying from literal blizzards in mountains to monsoon like weather. That little car has never skipped a beat and has never asked for anything other than gas, tires and oil at regular intervals. I full…
The Stinger is a great car, but it’s sort of like if I was amazing at basketball. Almost everyone would look at me and say “Yeah, but he’s still just a 40-year-old white guy with no real experience playing basketball.”
