ParticipantIf rates fall further, it will likely be because of a recession. People without jerbs can’t pay their mortgages…
ParticipantI love flying Spirit. You can get bargain-basement fares coast-to-coast for about $100, then add either “1st class” or giant exit-row seats for another $70 or so.
Participantgzz – I’d rather have an actual hatchback, whether it’s an Impreza, Insight, or Prius. I don’t need the “tough” styling designed to cater to suburban cowards who want to feel as tall as a pickup truck. My ideal car would actually be an electric Miata or MR2. Low, light, simple, unsafe, as cars should be!
If I wanted a tall car, I’d get a minivan. At least it’s honest and not pretentious.
ParticipantFiH — the future is subscription in dense urban areas. In less dense cities like San Diego, people use their cars like purses or backpacks … they don’t want to have to fully unload them between uses. Don’t underestimate the pack-rat tendencies of most Americans.
ParticipantYou’re still warming the oil temperature from outside temperature (50 to 80F) to operating temperature (220-250F).
ParticipantCUVs are ugly, topheavy, chunky pieces of rubbish. Give me a real CAR any car over those delivery trucks.

Free/good educational system, world-class healthcare system, good public/rail transit system, rule of law/environmental protection. Plus, Germany is a lot prettier than upstate NY.
Germany’s population is approximately stable, as other countries should strive to be. Zero population growth should be a stated goal of governments, not just an NGO catchphrase.
ParticipantAre their electronics really worse than electronic fuel injection systems on gas cars? I’ve had old cars with Bosch EFI systems that lasted 20+ years.
ParticipantFiH, the problem is that the only truly long-range, fast-charging electric car is a Tesla, and Tesla tends to be a stone bitch about working on your own vehicle/sourcing replacement parts. Plus, many people do actually take trips, and often not where Superchargers are. Electric on a daily basis/gas for longer trips seems like a sane compromise.
Participant15 houses in OB and Point Loma on SDLookup < $1M. Looks like a couple in LJ as well.
ParticipantChina and Trumpie just escalated their trade war to volume level 11.
Participant.
ParticipantTotal jerbs revised down by 501,000 for March 2019…
HD beats on earnings but misses on actual Q2 sales…
