Best Of

I saw some old film in the last week or so - can’t remember what it was exactly, but I have a nagging thought it was something to do with L.A. - where it showed police cars en route to somewhere, and they were late-run Kaisers, which I hadn’t seen in that role before. Maybe they got good deals on them when the company was going bust.

I never understood hating someone you once liked enough to marry that you would rather give money to a lawyer instead of splitting it with your ex.

This is why I have repeatedly said that I'd rather go back to work for the highway department picking up dead animals than practice family law.
No, I'm not joking.

Just today I heard a story where a guy hated his ex so much he sued her to stop using his last name.

I kind of understand that for the original. But a replica, seems odd.

Old liquored-up guys with lots of money are easy pickings for the auction hype machine.

Steel (or fiberglass) Viagra. The wives are sitting there calculating how big a diamond she can buy with what the husband spent on his toy.

TBH, I don’t understand why you would spend anything over $100K for a car at auction. I would be afraid to drive one costing $250K and up. I call those “lookin’ cars” rather than “driving’ cars”.

This one’s for @roadburner:

Had a bit of an earthquake off the coast of Maine, 4.1 magnitude. Felt it here, thought it was related to my neighbor doing some renovations!
Bigger earthquake in the tech sector, not sure I can afford to retire anymore.

Putting together a "short list" of potential replacements I'd consider purchasing used for when the Ariya goes back at the end of its lease:
Ioniq 5
Mach E
Polestar 2
XC40 Recharge
ID.4
Solterra/bZ4X
Kona/Niro

I suspect used Blazer and Equinox EVs will be below $30k by the end of the year, so I'd consider those, as well. I also had the i3s REX on the list, but I think I would grow tired of needing to use the REX (and its extremely limited fuel capacity) on longer trips. Of course, this all assumes I decide to keep an EV in the fleet, and that there aren't lease deals to be had.

Is “whichever has the best deal at the time” the wrong answer?
