Walk!!!  Walk for your life!!

“Entitled” -snicker-. The gas left in the hose is replacing the gas that was in the hose when they pulled up. People are weird; as a species and a society, I’m surprised we made it as far as we have.

I got a used eGolf for cheap that I’d put up against a GTI in so far as performance is concerned. It’s pretty utilitarian though. No Autobahn packages or such. Hard to keep the wheels from breaking loose when trying to get into traffic from the apron.

And the farms in South America ramped up to provide the missing supply for less. Why would the customers ever come back to higher prices?Fun fact, that’s kinda why we drink coffee and not tea. After the war of 1812, enough trade was opened up with SA, the tea market never recovered.

That’s what I recall. Something to the effect his mother was supposed to go, but somehow he got pushed into it. The dad was a real Titanic-stan.

Generally for other EV owners? Source? Everyone is different and has different situations. My EV rates are in line with my ICE rates. But then, I’ve been with the same agency for about 40 years. We’re a very well known quantity. Joe Blow walking through the door looking to insure a performance EV, I can see that…

Also SeaLab 2021.
Uh oh!.......

Seen a few tuners & builders on YT mention that they won’t work with non-compliant tuners and parts anymore due to the fact that EPA isn’t turning a blind eye any longer. Others “Send in your ECU! We’ll flash it and send it right back!”. That latter group is in the FA stage. The former probably won’t get to the FO.

When you find yourself in a hole, put down the shovel.

Well, you’re kind of agreeing with their point. Some times, the right thing to do is what others around you are expecting you to do. Not necessarily the absolute rule of the law. For ex., everyone else is ‘California rolling’ through a common stop sign but then your car suddenly hits the brakes completely. That…

>they might have a shot at a more profitable deal in the future, such as a >SpaceX IPO

How much less is significant? 1,000 @ $3.51 and 1,000 @ $3.67 averages $3.59. Also, means are outlier sensitive. So it’s not necessarily 50:50. The mode might be a better estimate of typical costs rather than including all the high and low edge cases, such as this article, in the estimate.

Heh, I kind of have that feeling when folks pay thousands for god-level computer and phone hardware then are all like, “$4 for an app!?”, “$10 for a completely optional armor set from the online store!”  Greedy developers!

My hunch is that the question is moot because they probably wouldn’t allow it to happen in the first place.

Uh, buying a car from a company who’s CEO is no longer interested in making cars may not be the ringing endorsement you think it is. They’re already, reportedly, a pain to get maintenance completed. If cars aren’t their focus, don’t expect that, or the resale/trade-in values, to get better.

IIRC, didn’t the experimental Ford EV van run 43 and some change? I get it’s a production car vs an experimental. But a pretty “simple” EV consisting of motors and a battery in a box beating an insanely complex Czinger by almost 6 seconds is an astounding demonstration of EV power.

Of course, the real discussion on the YouTube post is
A) This is an elaborate hoax using the Unreal Engine and
B) Why didn’t the the owner have comprehensive coverage on their expensive new vehicle?

I’m taking my car to ABC Auto Service to whom I pay for the service. Not John Smith the service advisor at ABC. It happened on ABC’s watch, it’s their problem. How they settle up with the employee is up to them.

BTW, the article doesn’t talk to the status any offers to make the situation good. If offered full…

Heh, my FIL sold his private practice to a regional health care operator. Pretty much all medicine is going that way. Dealing with insurance provider’s red tape and electronic records is death to small town private practices.  He agreed to stay on for a while in the transition. After never really believing our…

We got the Pagans and their allies around here (mid-Atlantic). They’re at about every larger bike night, bike week. Way back in the day, a friend used to work at a deli and made sandwiches for them. He got us invited to a nearby party they had. Aside from being asked ‘who we knew’, it was sort of a same planet;…
