it looks real shiny though! If I have to live up here in the salt and rust belt, I am not giving up without a fight.

That seems so…..permanent 😂
Why it matters: EV early adopters were typically wealthy people in single-family homes — where it's relatively easy to install a home charger. Without more public stations, EV adoption is likely to stall.
What's happening: Cities are passing new building codes and zoning rules to coax — or force — developers to install rapid-charging stations (or at least reserve space for them).
"There's a sense of urgency," Denver Mayor Michael Hancock tells Axios. "We know we've got to get this infrastructure built out."
There's been a drumbeat of announcements from mayors about plans to alleviate "charging deserts" and blanket their cities with stations:
L.A. has been attaching EV charging stations to streetlights — a boon to renters.
Seattle is installing curbside chargers, also aimed at renters.
Denver partnered with Hertz to jump-start the build-out of neighborhood charging stations.
Hoboken, New Jersey, has a deal to install charging stalls that can display revenue-generating digital advertising.
Tucson is among the growing list of cities that require certain new businesses and multifamily dwellings to provide charging stations in their parking lots.
💰 Follow the money: Under President Biden's 2021 infrastructure law, states get $5 billion in federal incentives to build charges. Cities can apply for a share of $2.5 billion in competitive grants.

That’s incentive enough for me to look into how I can incorporate my driveway.

Nope. The registration costs can be pro rated to the next vehicle.

I think he finally donated the old 3 to a charity.

My first car was a '70 Galaxie coupe with 113K miles (which is more like 250K miles in present day times). No A/C, black vinyl interior, baby poop tan paint. Paid $650 for it, and put about $300 more to keep it running, and the engine still gave up after six months. That was a fortune in 1976.

So poster buddies, what’s the going rate this year?
jmonroe
so best case, probably late May it arrives at the dealer. So I have about 3 months to decide what to do with it. Should be fun adding that to the mix of deciding whether to work any more or not!

I'm paying about the same as henryn, although more subscriptions.
Call them and tell them you want to cancel because the price is too high, is there anything they can do?
Thanks for the response but something tells me you have automatic deduction from your checking account each month for that price. I refuse to give anyone access to my checking account. I know it’s antiquated but I still pay all bills by mail. Sirius XM charges 2 bucks to mail a bill and I’m fine with that.
Thanks again.
jmonroe
Thanks for the response but I do call every year to cancel and I then get a better rate. I just don’t know what the going rate is this year.

Thanks. I should have mentioned I don’t give my CC number to anyone either. I know I can call to cancel the next year when using a CC but I don’t want to go through that. For me it’s much easier to get the ridiculous bill each year and putting up with the dance of calling for a better rate.
FWIW, I seem to remember when I called last year I could have gotten a 90 something dollar rate if I agreed to giving them my CC number but for a few bucks more I want to be in full control.
If I don’t forget, I’m calling them tomorrow and doing the yearly dance.

I'm a lifelong cc user, no real issues to report. Knock my head.

running around local, in the Maverick, I actually just listen to FM. it is fine for short trips. if there is nothing interesting or I end up in the boondocks, just flip over to the USB stick with about 3,000 songs.

After taking my VW to the dealer in October, I got a free 90 day trial (which ended up running for 105 days), and it was nice. But, not worth $7.50/mo, to me. I'm only driving 500 miles/month, so I'm just not in the car that much to care.
I have some music apps on my phone, and my car has CarPlay, so I'm covered, but I generally don't bother with it. I do wish it had a CD player, though.

My first car was a 69’ Plymouth which I ran longer than any car until I got my F-150 for work years later (159k and 250k respectively).
