    Polestar Exiting US Market

    Many luxury cars are like that, nobody wants a used luxury car, especially with expensive and frequent luxury cars breakdowns.

    Polestar Exiting US Market

    That’s what makes banning them very stupid, the number sold in the us is quite small, maybe they are a minor annoyance to Ferrari . When I see something like this I wonder if they would have been exiting the market anyway and doing it this way makes hay. Yep and likely only in very expensive...

    Top home foreclosure states

    With no flippers the house would sell for what it sells for, which might only be a few thousand dollars.

    Top home foreclosure states

    Yeah I started digging on a Wisconsin county as there were indications that foreclosure levels would likely be similar today as they were before 2020, in the county there are roughly 78,000 homes. Historically there were always around 1-2 dozen foreclosures going to the sheriff sale (last 25...

    Walmart.com: Starfire Solarus tires, many sizes

    It always surprises me how these places always only carry oversized tires in the smaller rims no car ever actually used OEM. I need oddly 125sr13, 155/65r13, 165/65r14 Many old cars used these small sizes (or close) but it’s usually 205/80r whatever which were never used on Hondas , Subarus or...

    Never ever had a car with a working AC

    I have spent most of my life without ac Due to a deer hit my current car has no sc either, it’s a simple repair needed but nobody wants to touch ac at any of the independents anymore and the “ac” place doesn’t want to do any real part replacements. We are living in stupid times.

    Valvoline Restore and Protect in 10W-30 Grade?

    And they cannot sheer. Severe Fuel dillusion is one of the few situations that a full synthetic 10w30 or T1 HD30 will always outperform 5w30 Might be the only multi grade 30 weight alongside 15w40 and 20w50 Folks better start loving T1

    Slate EV Pickup

    The upfront cost and cost of repairs are much lower though. You could actually rebuild that motor with much simpler tooling for example. In a rational world said vehicle would also have lower registration and insurance costs. Maverick was a $19,999 basic mid size truck with a pre-order that...
