Yup. My hometown is a dying small town where the majority of its denizens are boomers.

You would never see this car, there.

Not to stereotype.....but here we go anyways (hey if it’s OK to stereotype an age group, why not ethnicity), I’d say it’s more likely owned by someone of latino descent.

What ruined wagons in the US was the marketing machine that pushed SUVs into every American’s waking hours. The Hummer H2 led that marketing charge. Back in 2000 you still had a number of good options for wagons that didn’t wear the Volvo badge, but Americans were too busy being sold on how ‘cool’ SUVs were, and how

CDK could end up paying a ransom to get operations running again”

To cover the smell of somebody else who’s just used the same car? 

“...police are now scrambling to find out who wrote the messages.”

Are police really going to lift a finger for petty vandalism that’s already been resolved?

Not endorsing breaking the law, but this brings me so much joy. 

Lucid is collapsing? I thought they were the beneficiaries of the infinite war chest of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund.

$32k for anything you wouldn’t be embarrassed to drive is pretty damn good.

I went the used bolt route a few years back. got the battery replaced and a fresh warranty for $22k before trade in (got $8k in trade for my econo box 2014 soul) this was a couple years before the overhaul to the tax credit but it was worth every penny to get out of the gas game.

Why are you even here?

I agree. A 12 year old Tesla with 150 miles of range for $5k or so would be a compelling buy. Just keep the minimum insurance on it and drive it day in and day out for local stuff, and there’d be hardly any maintenance costs to worry about. 

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: EVs are too damn powerful. Nobody needs this kind of power. Nobody.

Let’s face facts, though: Ford requiring dealers to have chargers on-site and to have trained technicians that can actually SERVICE the cars they are selling is not an unreasonable ask.   If you buy an F-150 Lightning from Joe “Buddy” Williams Ford in Ho-Hum, Indiana, you better hope their guys can fix your truck. 

It’s not uninformed, it’s based upon common knowledge about how often police are held to account for their negligence.
