Early 2010's Camry that I bought used and paid off almost a decade ago. It will hit 156k miles\250k km in the foreseeable future.

This deal comes in just as I go on a Low-CARB diet. SAD!!!

US doesn’t get Tracer 7, hoping it trickles down to the Tenere 700.

I wouldn’t be comfortable spending $50k on a brand-new car unless I earned $180-200

Yes, I meant regulatory hurdles for nuclear power, fear among the general public and resulting delays.

Huh? Have you seen how many people Ford has let go in past 12 months? You still think they’d keep JLR\Volvo running well? 

Even if I could comfortably afford it, why should I put that much cash on a depreciating asset? Makes no sense. 

Pretty sure it’s harder than ever to build nuclear power plants. Most US nuclear reactors are older than Chernobyl.

No, because fuel economy of rail is 10x of a full hybrid vehicle, and it takes cars off the road if its a good enough option.

Can you imagine going through all the pain of boarding a plane only to find out its too heavy to fly and then getting off? Delta would have to offer me a trip around the world and a kiss on the cheek minimum.

A pint of fresh air.

If EV users burn fossil fuel to charge their vehicles, that kinda defeats the purpose of owning an EV, doesn’t it?

Well aren’t all those layoffs are supposed to save the company billions?

I hope this hurts the Mach-E-avellian dealers who tried to price gouge. 

If you get it cheap (under $3000 preferably), that’s good. However, now is the peak riding season, so unlikely you’ll get deals on that even though it’s an aging platform.

Honda CB500X. Will keep up on the highway, can give a taste of some off-road riding and do all this without being intimidating for a beginner.

That’s just a rebadged Duke 390. Nothing wrong with that, but might as well get the Duke if it’s cheaper in the used market.

Ninja 400 has clip-on handlebars and would cost a bit more to insure, the Z400 doesn’t, but I’d stick with Ninja 400 if:

Tangent: “MILF” was how one Oman-based law firm decided to abbreviate it’s name. They’ve since changed their signage to be a little more family-friendly.

“I have a friend who’s going to let me lease his smaller aircraft,” he says, “It’s a twin turbo, which burns about a fourth of the amount of fuel of the Cessna – and I’m only going to use it two or three times a year to go out to a pheasant hunting preserve in the northwest corner of Nebraska.”
