re: Auto delivery gone wrong

When I buy out-of-state, I let the dealer own the shipping, for liability reasons.

If I ship, I use a shipping company, specifically for vehicles, and use enclosed trailers.


30-50% of EV owners buy ICE vehicles instead of another EV. ( per Ward's Auto) when replacing their primary auto.

EVs still suffer from poor infrastructure, lengthy charging times, and, up until very recently, terrible resale. Range anxiety is a real thing.

EVs are perfect for city-dwellers but guess what those residents don't typically have access to?

Home-based charging stations.


The future for EVs is excellent, with sodium ion batteries, and more importantly, small, gas-powered on-board generators.
Walt, please tell me this make won't you start drinking again.





Or worse, driving.

Well bought and sold.

Good, safe dependable car.
Mileage is irrelevant.
Its not so much the stopping distance that is improved, its the fade resistance, and lighter weight.

And no dust on the wheels...
They started that Santorini black. Jaguar F-TypeR and it was loud and cool.


Easiest sale they ever made. :lol:


Moved on to 911s later, but the Jag had 'em beat on sound.


And resale value:lol:

Best exhaust note on any car sold in America.

( and I once bought a car on just about how it sounded alone:lol:)

Still love Corvettes, but I love my dog and AWD more.

Gotta have a back seat and grip, especially in the wet.

From Newsweek today:

We do not yet know what it was. Petrified or heavily mineralized wood is one possibility we want tested; a hard rock block within the surrounding debris is another.

“When I said in our release that these layers could be the decayed top-tier remains of the Ark, I was describing the hypothesis we are testing, not a finding."


Zippers aren't plastic, and the fabric is durable and heavyweight.

They feel like my old Filaon bags, which are all 10+ years old.

The newer Filson is stuff is nothing like the old stuff. Im not sure when or why they changed, but they did
Red Oxx is better, and what Filson used to be.
Yes, I was agreeing with you.

Was just explaining why Porsche (and others) would use lithium in the first place. As you know, weight savings are a huge objective in performance vehicles. There are also other considerations (RWS drain) as well.
That, and lithium batteries have excellent longevity.

I wouldn't want to modify any Porsche that was OEM for a lithium battery, personally.


The lithium battery in my 2020 was still in great shape when I sold the car in 23.
Of course.


The normal inclination and genetic makeup of any species is to reproduce.

That's nothing "natural " about homosexualality.

Sorry, not sorry about the "hurt feelings ".

That may be true, but in all likelihood, you are a very (at best) average attorney.


The really good ones are quiet, hyper-intelligent, and don't crave attention.


But to be fair, I don't know any " slip and fall" guys.
Lithium is 50% lighter than AGM.

you're buying a performance car, understand what that means and make sure you can shoulder the burden. It's not worth it to most people.

I mean, I guess if you consider metric tools "special", then, yes.
