    Most reliable used simple/basic vehicle

    I think you have to be darn near insane to buy an F150 w/the ten speed transmission-but that's just me. Where is Ford today on the most all time recalls................?

    world’s oldest practicing doctor gives longevity tips

    Of course some of those quotes are not coming from a rationale thought process----I could be wrong but I don't think many are thinking that clearly, at least in my experience-moments before they die. My father in Law-living in So. Cal just before he died-was talking about local politics-but he...

    The used car market is tough. I need to change my approach.

    An answer you are not looking for- RETIREMENT. For every time there is a season-the season you are participating in could signal it's time for you to quit.

    Those of us who were active when we worked are also plenty active when we retire. Most of us understand there are tangible benefits to remaining active both mentally and physically ( i.e. exercise).

    world’s oldest practicing doctor gives longevity tips

    Another post concerning a guy who happens to be a Doctor stating if you quit working you will die. I retired at 55 years of age. I have been to 38 countries and all 50 states. I retired from a sales career. I have absolutely no regrets. So at the risk of repeating myself-"I don't know...

    '26 Escape Can't Be Sold in 6 States

    That equipment still doesn't eliminate all pollution-believe it or not. Just because a car has fuel injection doesn't make it pollution free. There was still plenty of air pollution as late as the 1970s. quote- In the 1970s, California, particularly the Los Angeles area, faced severe air...

    '26 Escape Can't Be Sold in 6 States

    JMHO-I don't think adding California emissions equipment makes a vehicle go from affordable to non affordable. With the cost of new vehicles-the cost of said equipment is insignificant. So that $60,000.00 truck will be $57,000.00 instead w/o emissions.

    How aggressive is the Start/Stop in your vehicle?

    In my Silverado-I get in and put on my seat belt, push the start button/and then push down the little lever to turn off the start/stop. Those tooth picks look like garbage. In my wife's Volvo-it's a mild hybrid-and can't be defeated-but it also is so smooth with the integrated ISG it is not a...

    Walmart removing self checkouts, reported results include significant reduction in theft

    Target sells many of the same goods as Walmart-except they are private label items. JMHO. I would say Target's casual clothes are of better quality than Walmart. However-I feel no completing reason(s) to shop at Target.
