Unpopular opinion around here, but I’ve been really happy with the PHEV. Most of my trips are under 20 miles and I get free chargin...

One time I was getting gas and the guy at the next pump over pulled away with the nozzle still in his truck. It broke away like it is supposed to, but the guy stopped and realized what he had done.

[quote]How do I know if I am exempt or not? I tried to do it last week (didn’t have title so I had to come back later) and the lady at the DMV told me that I would have to pay 3% of the value of the vehicle plus like $150 for the actual tag.

re: Is undergrad college worth it?

Posted by krones on 8/13/21 at 7:56 pm
You will find plenty of anecdotal evidence on this board and elsewhere that college isn't worth it, but just about all the actual studies on the topic show that a college degree is absolutely worth it. There are outliers for sure, and if you can't make it through to a degree in the end you're not go...
