What would interest me - run a car for 10 years doing nothing but oil changes, wiper blades and brakes as needed - see what car is in better shape at the end of that. Any car can be perfect after 10 years if you dump enough cash in it over the 10. What car is best if you DON'T?

(10 years isn't all that long really these days either. Longer than most will keep the vehicle but still, 120-140k miles aren't a lot on a vehicle these days)
Except we here , Out West especially, put more like 20k miles a year on our vehicles.

You're right about the costs there though, that $800 isn't much, about the cost of an oil change at some shops once a year for the ten.

Maintenance aside................what are the costs per mile over 10 years total? Assuming the same basic maintenance schedule in the same location perhaps, as hourly rates for labor vary a bit.

Cars out west probably aren't the bulk of the respondents tho. Averages of averages - always outliers. Just saying, most people aren't doing 20k - it's not hard to find a 2014 in that 120-140k mileage band etc. Most cars will run that long absolutely ignored.

It is important to understand that when one is stupid enough to elect Rulers, and not representatives, then that is what they get.

Ruled.

Representatives - would be dragged out of their homes and beaten for that, and then new representatives would be elected to resolve the issue.





GR

Apparently you are stupid enough to believe that obvious nonsense you quoted, and not smart enough to check it.


Meantime, you live in a country where people in fact are in prison for engaging in peaceful protest, but yet the "representatives" responsible continue in office.

Oddly the truth of his quoted material is it has been removed proving it's validity. Since you are on the spot all knowing why not explain how it is obvious nonsense?

Re: Consumer reports: the five lowest maintenance car brands: Dutch 04/22/24
You have to take into account is that the Tesla's are $70 - 100K vehicles, while the Fords, Toyotas and Buicks are substantially less. People that buy a Tesla typically trade in a BMW or other "luxury" car. For cars in a similar price bracket, the maintenance/ repair expenses for the Tesla are almost half.

I agree that 10 years is less than 150K miles for most people not in flyover country, and just at the point of getting a vehicle broken in. I'd love to see a maintenance expense for every 50K miles up to 300. Still, 10 years should start separating the wheat from the chaff.

About 14 years, not counting the Roadster. Model X came out in 2012.

Re: Redding dies question Seafire 04/22/24
I never rely on ONE set of reloading die sets. There are plenty with different features.

Just yesterday on line, I saw on Graf and Sons, where a box of 20 rounds was the exact same price as a Die Set.

Die Sets are cheap in the bigger picture of reloading.

My only question is, how did it get to the SCOTUS?

This should have been a slam dunk at arbitration by the Police Union.

It's right there in the OP:

The Supreme Court torpedoed these claims, re-asserting that everyone is equal in the eyes of the law. Further, the court has established a relatively ‘low standard’ for bringing discrimination cases. The victim need not suffer ‘actual harm’. An employee only must show "some harm" under the terms of their employment, AND that harm need not be "material," "substantial" or "serious." The decision makes it much easier for workers to sue over discriminatory practices.

This case was about a woman transferred from plainclothes because she was a woman, but it could be applied to DEI bullshit.

Discrimination is the toughest case to prove. Ask any Litigator. If you think a Black Woman getting her job back after a change of Boss's removed her w/o cause is a DEI destroyer? I'm not feeling it.

Re: Consumer reports: the five lowest maintenance car brands: RockyRaab 04/22/24
I recently bought a 2020 Toyota Highlander Platinum 6-cyl. The first owner leased it and bought it off the lease. Used it as a daily commuter and put 83,000 miles on it in three years. You read that right. I got it at a substantial discount because of that.It will take me several years to get it to 100,000, at which time the recommended services at the dealer will cost about $1300, but that gets a LOT of things done.

Re: City of Grants Pass Vs Supreme Court Seafire 04/22/24
You have people from Metro Wash DC hearing this case and trying this case. They don't have a friggin clue. They are just philosophizing, as they have NO point of reference. I am from Metro Washington DC. I can attest to knowing how they think.

But now I live here in Southern Oregon in Grants Pass. But G.P. is no different than many other places in this state, and the same problems they are dealing with here. Grants Pass is not Unique. Portland and San Fran for example are 100 times worse than what we put up with here....

And then Trump would leave office and the cabal would be back thick as theives in 2 years again. Trump is doing what he promised. He's fixing it so the Cabal and Dimocommies control never happens again and it must be done by Awakening the people and getting Voter ID to destroy the Satanic DNC.

Trump and the Patriots are in the process of doing just this.

Exactly. If one goes bad the other isnt far behind. In this case I always replace rotors possibly warped or gouged, calipers and pads. Cheap compared to the possible consequences.

Yes, the gold standard enforced spending discipline on the part of our government, because there had, at least, to be a substantial gold basis to the money in circulation, or no one would trust it. That system only broke down when a combination of perpetual foreign wars and the institution of socialist policies at home (Johnson's Great Society) forced our government to print far more dollars than it had gold to back it.

When other nations started catching on to this state of affairs, they figured the gold they had a right to by having accumulated US Dollars wasn't actually backed by gold, and started demanding their gold instead of the dollars.

This acted like a run on a bank, and Nixon pulled the rug out from under the entire gold standard, in order to keep our economic system from collapsing entirely, by simply defaulting on our obligation to back the dollars in circulation with gold.

For the first time, starting in 1971, the entire world found itself on a completely fiat system of currency, and we've seen the consequences as shown by your chart.
