YET.   But stale gas is an issue where I live.  When the weather changes, older stations end up with water in their tanks.  It’s getting better, but it still happens.  You don’t want the dredges from that tank.

Sometimes life is a lot of driving. My son played travel soccer. We averaged over 20k a year while he did that. Now my wife does animal rescue. We still average around 20k a year.

Yes, people don’t think that a building is an asset like anything else. If a car doesn’t fit your needs, you get a different one. If a house isn’t right for you, you build a different one. Same with factories, same with schools.. and same with office buildings. It’s not always a show off glory thing that is a waste of…

Mine is one story and small and in the South. Leroy can knock it down in an afternoon. And yes, the guy that does our concrete work really is called Leroy.

I think it is a matter of time before gasoline refilling will see outdated. How do I know if the pump works, how do I know if the gas is fresh, and how do I know if it will take my discount card?

I love this car.. even though I would likely never buy it.

As for 2nd gear, it might be a wise use of resources.

Not allowed to even pay $10 extra to get an assigned seat,

Blame yes. Suffer, no.

Boy did you (and others) mis-read my comment.

In the case of Toyotas, the Hybrid power trains tend to have better performance as well.

Why not both?  Honda CR-Zs were available with a stick.

Already, a PHEV qualifies for the full $7500 rebate because the battery is big enough. It’s a Pacifica, but this makes the Pacifica PHEV cheaper than the Pacifica non-hybrid.

Anyone remember Marge Schott? She owned the Reds Baseball team and made the news regularly (I remember she had a bunch of giant dogs that would escape and mine the outfield with giant turds)

You picked the wrong hybrid. Toyota’s hybrids are much better for their non-body on frame offerings.

Yeah, I don’t care about the low mileage cars. That’s another soap box to climb on. Like the push for EV motorcycles. ICE motorcycles aren’t driven enough to matter, nor does the amount of gas they use matter. Give us Rav4 Primes and Lightnings and Siennas that people actually put 20k a year on.

Yes, but dancing around saying “Elon is getting screwed!” isn’t a good look. It’s his workers that are, not him.

Under current law, PHEVs is the stepping stone. A Rav4 Prime is about $6k more than a Rav4 with similar equipment. If it was made in North America with North American Batteries, it would qualify for the $7500 rebate. Making it LESS expensive than the Rav4. If you never charged it, it would still use less gas than an…

But the cost doesn’t have to be that bad. The Corolla Hybrid is only $1300 more than the Corolla. Toyota doesn’t make ICE Siennas or Crowns and will soon not make ICE Camrys. They aren’t doing this because they are uber green or the like, they are doing this because they feel that making two powertrains is more…

First gear: I hate this story. So many are gloating about Elon being no longer the world’s richest man. He’s lost a ton of money from Telsa’s stock collapse. Haha!
