There’s always some risk - the company may go bankrupt or they may not offer that model, but I think I’m fairly safe

I completely get that.  Makes sense too

It’s hard because I’ve dreamed about this particular new vehicle for years.  But I plan on keeping it for ever, so I can wait a while before special ordering.  And, no, it’s not a corvette - I’m not that old

They also didn’t want anyone to ask Tesla owners about fit and finish, panel gaps, and paint quality.

I’m with you on keeping my reliable, low-mileage paid-off car for the moment. Even though I know what I want to replace it with, I’m not ready in this crazy political, economic, pandemic environment to commit to a loan or lease payment.

I think her sister must work in the big pharma division of the MyPillow corp.

All of my family lives overseas and I have cancelled two trips already. I’ll take it as a win *if* I get to see them some time in the second half of 2021. I’ve completely written off traveling this year and spring next year.

I feel your pain (literally) as I have congenital hip dysplasia and now have zero cartilage in one hip and 25% in the other. I have managed to avoid hip replacement surgery up to now by working with a really good Pilates instructor. I’m not sure if it would work for you, but in my case I went from being in constant…

Do you live and work in the UK?

They’re fine if you understand you are just gambling. Same as betting on horses or football games, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. But the house always wins.

After the mask-free Sturgis rally, there will be a glut of heavily customized Harleys coming up for sale very soon..

I would have agreed with you a week or so ago, but then a friend actually told me how much he was making after moving to Microsoft. He works remotely from Hawaii and he said he got a 300% raise when he started there. Yes that’s right, he went from a good upper-middle class $170k job to $675k overnight. He also told…

I would disagree - the majority of his base collect social security and use medicare. But they believe they deserve it because they contributed (the oldest will not have contributed enough to cover their benefits but that’s another subject).

Everything you say is true. As I said in my original comment, XC70s are the wagon of choice (with a few V90 XCs showing up). There are also many allroads and e-class wagons. Even a Buick / Opel Regal TourX. And the ever present outbacks and crosstreks for the traditionally frugal new englanders.

Yet another pre-existing condition for your insurance company to try and avoid covering in the future.

How long have you been a dental hygienist?
