The least expensive EV battery I found was the Nissan Leaf at $3,500.00. I expected Chevy Bolt to be pretty inexpensive, but they list for $15.7XX.XX. I wasn’t even going to look at Tesla, I’m sure they would be more.

Masks to hide faces, cell phone and GPS jammers to block the signal, a flat bed tow truck to take the vehicle to take the umanned vehicle to a remote location for disassembly, a crow bar and bolt cutters to open any lock.

Order groceries with a stolen credit card to be delivered to an empty lot. Steal the delivery vehicle. And it has snacks inside to munch on while you cut it up for parts.

“When the tire was first made in early 1996, the G159 was speed-rated at 65 mph max. Shortly after, however, some states increased their speed limits to 75 mph.

Regarding cleaning the throttlebody:

You are right. I managed to get my lefts-and-rights confused while writing. The response by “Ce he sin”, had a picture that better explained my poor writing.

That sounds suspiciously like a “professional vehicle valuation”, from a company named Autosource, AudaExplore, or Solera. Actually, those are all the same company, they operate under at least three different names. Their “reports” typically run five or more pages. You will note that nearly every bit of it is a form…

One key detail of the discussion, topic being being value of trade in cars, is the use of KBB to calculate how much the dealer will pay for the car being traded in.

And that honest car salesman calculating out the value of your trade-in, reaches into his back pocket and pulls out that little book. KBB, voted most popular tool to screw the motoring public, for over 50 straight years.

We actually have one of the larger Model T car clubs and Spring shows in the local area. I expect those cars sold for hundreds if not low thousands of dollars when new. I doubt you could buy one in roadworthy condition for less than ten or twenty thousand dollars.

Actual value of an item is based on the amount of money that the buyer is willing to spend to purchase an item and the amount of money a seller is willing to spend to part with an item.

“A growing share of the trade-ins that U.S. auto dealers and lenders accept for car-purchase financing are worthless on paper...”

Arg. Got that confused and backwards in my mind, and meant exactly what you pointed out. The passenger’s side mirror with the “Things may be closer than they appear” is not on the RHD cars.

You missed the most fun part for those with 20+ years of driving a LHD manual transmission and then switching to RHD:

And the correct answer is: Funk.

Problem: Water splashing out of the sink.

Seems to have missed a first.

I don’t think there is as much an issue with driving incompetence as there is with the majority of people being completely self centered and overwhelmed with greed. A refusal to wait their turn and treat others as if they have just as much right to use the paved surface as they do. Combine this with a lack of…

From the perspective of not knowing anything about the system other than the title of the service being “ride share”...

Double overtime hours and labor for half-part time wages. And the riders have to be affluent enough to have bribed the drivers of their previous rides with double the transportation charge as a tip, in order to get a driver to pick them up for their next trip. Perpetual underclass drivers and a carefully filtered…
