Our mechanic concluded that the poor fuel economy is due to the old engine being pretty tired.

It’s that if I wanted to pay “cash” for a car that is more than couch cushion money (for me that is $10K or so), I would have to cash out investments, realize gains, forego future gains, and pay taxes on those gains that are MUCH higher than the paltry interest rates currently charged to those with excellent…

Yes, if you completely change the statement, it is definitely a different situation. ;-)

Different people in different situations in different states with different laws are never going to achieve consistency. It’s a good goal, but one that will not be achieved. And that failure must not be used as an excuse to give up the fight against racism.

Or maybe some way that less well off people could get loans at decent rates. Maybe some organization that already has facilities all over the place and doesn’t have a mandate for steadily increasing quarterly profits could be involved.

So you think it’s ok to charge someone 25% interest even if they have a strong credit score?

I’m not sure you have the right word there.

Heck yeah! Couldn’t find good video but apparently it was sold.

There was clear video evidence that Chavin murdered Floyd in broad daylight in front of a bunch of witnesses while other cops stood around and didn’t do anything about it.  So I’m real curious what your “opinion” of the matter is.

IDK, to me it’s suspicious that he started spraying the bad guys too quickly.

virtually nobody anymore is centrist or moderate if you listen to the talking heads in the media;

Is it one category per person, or per family?  If my wife can keep driving crossovers/wagons, then I’ll go with sports cars.  If not, we need some practicality so I would go with wagons.

The original comment implied that it was not previously going to be used for weapons and now it is. By your reasoning it was inevitably going to be weaponized anyway, so it doesn’t matter.

The Talon-A is not a weapon.  Do you have information that it will be used to develop weapons?

Interesting.  So if someone wanted to lawyer up, they might be able to force Tesla to do the work at the original price.  They could come out ahead even after lawyer’s fees, if they couldn’t recover those.
