Do mullets not mesh with electric vehicles?

Tesla + Accord hatchback Also the fake UFO noise is required. Our Prius Prime does it up to 22-23 mph and even loader in reverse. There' s speaker in the grill area for it. Annoying, but don't want to run over someone after disabling it and face any liability, so on it stays.

Zoning Ordinance for your local City/County will tell ya. Or give an email/call to your Planning and Development dept.

Great! Vehicles are clean, time to work on the next set of items. A rake and broom stir up less dust than stupid blowers and emit zero carbon emissions! Push mowers are also a good workout. Battery options available for large lawns (cue midwesterners saying how they could never live without...

They are THE most economical new car to own, for anyone who drives average to above average annual miles. Safe, well-featured (finally Android Auto for the '21 LE!!!), and very reliable. Nice score. You can likely trade it in for a new model next year and MAKE money... (y)

You have owned many? How was your trade-in value? Why are you asking a question when you are explicitly stating you have direct knowledge yourself and yet act as if you know nothing of the answer? Did you experience lower trade-in value, yes or no? There's your answer. Having "owned many" you...

Wife bought a 2020 Prius Prime LE in 10/2019, net cost after rebates, incentives, tax credits, etc (including tax - ALL in) was less than $19k Traded it in last month, with 15k miles, got $22k. In a 2021 Prime now. With a lower net cost than the 2020. *shrug* There are inefficiencies to take...

Agreed. Drive SMART. That's all it takes. Yes, that is asking too much of many people, though.

My family's % is more like 25% + Mazda, Toyotas, Nissan, Acura - all 200k, most 300k plus, off the top of my head. Oh, plus a Subaru, but you know - headgaskets. I like to exclude from the list if it required major engine or trans work.

Huh. 2 mile commute. 10k OCI. Lets say 5k miles per year, that is 13.7 miles per day and would be a two-year OCI. I think you're burying the lead in order to have a sensationalistic headline. The truth is 2 mi short trips are bad for you vehicle. If the owner took the vehicle out for a longer...

YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO SAFE!!! 500 MILE OCIs ON SYNTHETIC OIL. CHEAPER THAN A NEW ENGINE!!!

My 1.8T GDI goes 10k miles *shrug* is 180/180 in a 1.8T high output or not? Maybe engine design related more so than "long" OCI?

Yes. We got 2.5% on a 30 yr and enough lender credits to "make" $2-3k (went into escrow anyways) But sorry, you missed out by 2-3 months. Rates climbed a 1/2% or more recently. You could still beat 4.05%, but should have done so multiple times by now. No cost refis are the safe way to deal with...

For all of you "glad I don't live there" replies... I am also glad you don't live here! Housing is expensive enough. The weather is great and our taxes actually aren't all that different than most states. Nevermind. High gas. Wildfires. Earthquakes. You all should stay far away. Its for your...

Right. Example: https://nissanofnewrochelle.a5.prod.jazelc.com/inventory/all-vehicles/vehicle/JN1BJ1CRXHW110801/Certified-Used-2017-Nissan-Rogue-Sport-New-Rochelle-NY Many other examples too - CPO under $15k and 20k miles. Seems surprisingly low-priced, actually. Heck a couple of 2019s with...

We went to Joshua Tree last weekend, 87 octane in the Prius Prime, speeds up to 75mph -- 65 mpg Don't remember what we paid for gas, but most of it is still in the small tank anyways.

Costco Visa is 4% back at gas stations. Better yet, my Penfed card is 5%. Shell is overpriced here, so I get 5% off of the cheapest station anywhere, making it always the best deal. Then there are people like my brother who must have a giant truck that gets horrible mileage and also who...

The S&P500 is one of those that outperform real estate. You should know, Vegas had a horrible RE collapse. Stock market recovered much better. Also being a landlord is a part-time job. Or you're stuck paying a management company a good bit of fees. I do wish we had the foresight to have bought...

Draino for cleaning cooling system while we're working with bathroom cleaners? Daily shower spray for your paint after it rains? Odor control for your ... wait that one can work fine. Ok you can use that.

Housing and transportation are the two biggest items in nearly everyone's budget. Keep those in check (below your means) and you'll do very well with saving money, which can be invested and can lead to wealth. Notice I said "housing" - home ownership does not lead to wealth. It is a forced...
