Where did they park pre COVID? The Federal Government continued to pay for internet, office space and office consumables during work from home. Some workers have been working two jobs from home. Variety of news articles have highlighted Federal workers and others in tech industry with 2nd and 3rd jobs that typically…

Future parts availability from a manufacturer not currently making cars with promised complete redesign coming soon? Jaguar not known for reliability.  New Miata repairs are unlikely. When the day arrives for Miata repair expect parts to be in stock. 

Motorcycles are a quick way to being an organ donor. Hard enough to get people to put down their cellphone while driving a vehicle. 

Have seen similar bad seas off the coast of Oregon in the Navy. Fun times. 

I was rear ended by an ambulance on I5 in Stop and Go traffic . Minor fender bender. No emergency lights were on at the time. 

For Safety reasons, fuel door should be drivers side. Our vehicles programmed to not auto unlock the.doors. When my wife exits the door she does not walk around the car leaving driver door unlocked. Vehicle refueled on driver side near the driver door. Much harder to steal her purse or vehicle.

Rivian? One of those floated down the river from Hurrocan Helene. Started right up. They seem to be able to go offroad. Should make curb jumping ok. Have them assigned to in town duty.  Leave long distance travel to a hybrid. 

Subaru and others have software to eliminate most wheel spin scenarios. Bronco, Wrangler, 4runner and others with true transfer case are ok with wheel spin in 4low. 

If an electric vehicle has a problem it averages 25,000 gallons of water to extinguish a fire. Large capacity battery vehicles likely require much more. Difficult to obtain that much water on an Offroad trail. 

Jeep short wheel base. MJ, CJ to current. Still made in Toledo, Ohio. Stormed Europe during the war to the local mall for Boba Tea. 

Touchscreen reliability is a problem. Apple and Samsung have had their problems. Imagine a vehicle touchscreen and/or large dash display going dead. Replacement costs if available. Sorry, we only made that model screen for 2025 with upgraded safety sensors. No longer in production.  Vehicle becomes totalled over a $50…

The upcharge for credit cards is already baked into the price of everyday items. Not a new problem. Tried to buy a car one time with a credit card.  Dealer refused. Didn't want the card fees to eat the profit. Had the cash. I wanted the frequent flier miles. $6k. 

Has to be voluntary to be legal.  Homeless sweeps where I live usually have one or two people volunteer for shelter bed. The large majority remain homeless on the street. Usually to keep doing drugs. We have homeless camps that dig holes to operate their generators. Keeps the noise down. Some homeless camps also have…

Passed the exact law you mention in my State. Some metal recyclers still don't ask questions.  Other times they steal copper. Then steal a Uhaul and take their stolen copper to the next State over. 

Remember going with my dad to kick tires at the local dealer lot. Dealer prices were out of touch for the specs. 

Tesla, Lucid and Toyota Camry are made in America. Not sure what Volkswagen makes in America. 

We have problems with our local Honda dealer. Mother in Law takes the car in for normal service and the sky is falling. It needs $1k to $2k in emergency repairs. If I take her car in near zero upsale. 

Lemon Law. Every state has different rules. Keep a log of who you talked to. What was said. Length of time for every repair and time waiting for parts. Depending on your situation and State consider a lawyer. 

The passengers were not abandoned.  They chose a risky course of action. Tours booked with the cruise line will wait. Tours booked without the cruise line are on their own. Ships are very clear and specific about this policy. It's cheaper to skip the cruise line provided Tours. We were on a recent tour that ran over.…

Hopefully new European safety standards requiring actual buttons minimizes touchscreen controls.
