I thought Left coasters were supposed to be more laid back!

I live in such a state and I have never had an attendant give me a hard time for monitoring the pump and/or removing the nozzle.

Vicious cycle.

Saw a ‘20 Alpina B7 with the horrid grill recently. Someone paid $140k for that hideous thing...

A couple years ago, that problem popped up on my 360 but I interpreted it to mean that the fuel level sender was bad and I was making plans to replace it. Miraculously, when it finally ran out of gas, it was in my garage after a month of sitting let the last bit evaporate. It took far longer than it should have for it…

My baseline range recommendation is 2X your commute. My straight commute is 20 miles RT. 45 in a day is a real outlier for me. It easily did that on a 10F day but I’m almost never on the highway, don’t have much traffic, etc.

Pumping your legs is only part of it. Leaning back and pulling with your arms are a major component (it drove me nuts at the park when my daughter was at that age as parents yelled at their kids “just swing your legs”). http://www.physicsinsights.org/up_in_a_swing.html

I loved my ‘15. 80 EPA miles are more than fine for my daily needs of 20-45miles. I was (no kidding) 3 days from buying out the lease when someone ran a red light in front of my wife, causing $6500 in damage. I decided to return it. :)

Hahah. I figure 1 out 3 (brown, auto, gasoline) is acceptable when you have a low 11 second friggin’ station wagon!

When I saw the Stubby Bob episode, all I could think was “Finnegan just bought some back specialist a new boat, he just doesn’t know it yet”.

My buddy has that exact car. He thinks it’s one of two. Perhaps 3 (an identical car was sold on bringatrailer recently). It was funny how much attention it got when he brought it to our local C&C.

In some (many?) states, you pay sales tax on the cost of the total transaction (price of car - value of trade) rather than on the price of the new car.  It can be a big difference if your trade-in is valuable.

You seem completely unaware that the parking BRAKE is used to keep the vehicle from moving...by activating the rear BRAKES that are already used to STOP THE VEHICLE.

Yeah but $5k buys another one of these all day long.

Exactly right. This is dispose-it-later pricing. All the consumable refreshed and a recent oil analysis? NP.

Exactly that. I loved my ‘11 Volt (VIN was 777 or so) but the constant seats up/seats down as it shifted from carrying my daughter or carrying some reasonably sized object (never at the same time!) got old. The e-golf was much more practical and served as my gateway drug to ICE VW-world.

Oh wow. Smoking deal! I leased an e-golf for $1k down and $229 month for 3 years (~$9200 all in) and that felt like highway robbery.  

Of course you are.  Quit thinking like a poor.

Same.  I tried but the site is just not usable at this point.

It’s essentially unusable on my home laptop without an ad-blocker.  It’s a 4 or 5 year old i7 w/only 4GB RAM.
