Yes

$5 it’s “old” for the medical issue.

Higher value yes - thus equity.  Never changes the residual though. 

I’d have returned it through the doors of Kia USA.  Good on you for being a bigger man. 

Two thoughts:

ROFL - we never got a night trap sequel because it actually wasn’t that ~good~ - tried playing it recently? Does. Not. Hold. Up.

I’ll respond the same way I did to Goofnik:  You misunderstand the market.  TCO on a lease for me is zero - I’m not the one paying it.  

You don’t understand the financial model most people who lease are working on. I’m not paying the lease; someone else is. I also need to have the ability to chuck it at the dealer and grab a loaner if it breaks (because again, I’m not the one paying the lease, and the reason it’s being paid is so I can be where I’m…

Same buy-in as the BMW though, and on lease schedules (what most people do), warranty is the same on both.  

The issue there is that commuting is ~not~ the only use case, so now you either have to have 2 cars, or wait for recharge time more often.  That’s a negative in many folks eyes.  

I’m still trying to figure out how we’re going to manage the huge group of people that won’t take any answer other than an immediate return to “life-before”.  With cases spiking 200%+ in North Dakota, and double-digit numbers in other rural states, we’re not even to the point of having this vaguely under control, and…

Ah yes, because the entire US is only urban centers with work-from-home individuals with magical grocery delivery and public transit.

To add:  Liking Bernie and disliking many of his supporters is surprisingly common as well.  There are ways he could have built a coalition, and not been surrounded by the next cult of personality, but he intentionally decided NOT to.  

Not all of us picked having kids in our 30's - thanks, but I like my toys, vacation, weekends, and overall sanity.  Quite happy without kids.  

If I was still riding, I’d buy one.  I loved my 1200R.  But, nope - I gave it up.  Too many idiots out there.  

Dunning-Kruger tends to be applied when someone is wholly ignorant and thinks themselves smart; there was (I believe) a specific term for an expert in one field who thinks therefore they can be an expert in others without the same level of effort, but I’m drawing a blank.

I’ve been trying to find it - I could SWEAR there was, but I’ll be damned if I can remember it. 

Also twist:  “I’m brilliant in one field, therefore brilliant in another after a quick bit of browsing data”  

Majority of the family is from New Mexico, Oklahoma, and the Panhandle region of Texas - don’t I know it :p

Foot traffic means he’s open. Many states aren’t even allowing them to open the DOORS. Texas hasn’t figured out that there’s, you know, a pandemic going on.
