Maybe not everyone. I bet the family-run Mexican place that my wife and I are now frequenting instead of Chipotle are happily benefiting from the new law. I say good for them. Healthcare is also getting bruised. Newsom delaying raises for disability workers, many of whom can now make more...

Congrats Momo!

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) enacted a regulation called the "Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 141" in 2016. This regulation requires all new hybrid and electric vehicles to emit an audible sound when traveling at speeds below 19 mph (30 km/h). The sound...

The tires on my wife's Leaf have a 80,000 mile warranty. At the first tire rotation, at 8000 miles, the fronts were pretty darn worn down, while the rears had a lot of meat on them. Now that they're all pretty worn, coming up on the 2nd rotation, I'll try to file a warranty claim with Costco...

I guarantee you won't. :)

Even if I were in need of a new car I wouldn't do it. Nearest 2 filling stations to me are about the same distance, in opposition directions, and in areas I rarely go to. Too much of a PITA just to fill up. Between the wife and I, about 65% of our miles are done in an EV. Having a charger...

Wow, us too. Daughter is the only child of 2 only children. Our definition of "overseas" probably differs lol.

This wage hasn't even taken effect yet, but we've pretty much already thrown in the towel. We tend to avoid fast food burger joints in general, but recently my wife was out with friends and my daughter easily twisted my arm to getting McD's for dinner. A medium #3 combo was $11. The family...

Don't worry, it's transient. And if it's not transient, it's contained.

Haven't you heard? Rates are coming down. 1 month before re-listing...the 1st mortgage payment hasn't even been made yet.

Someone with big dreams bought that dump, started the demo, and realized the place is held together by termites holding hands. Now they're hoping a greater fool will grant them the profit they expected to make, but without actually doing any work. They may also have realized the property is...

Lol. It has style?

Are people enrolled in net metering exempted/grandfathered in any way? Is this not construed as a change to the NEM agreement?

I wouldn't worry about the asbestos. It's obviously defective.
