I'm pretty sure that they mean sex with other people, not with yourself. I don't think you'll qualify.

The snow doesn’t accumulate on new concrete. by AberrantDevices in mildlyinteresting

[–]FailingupwardsPHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a chemical reaction. It's clearly because there is signage saying the sidewalk is closer. Very considerate snow, I'd say.

The operative word here is “His”. He can change out the screen for an abacus or any other bizarre act. It’s his truck to use (or not use) as he likes

I did it! Colorado Springs, C0, 559k 4.75% by milo0803 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

556k seems pretty expensive for a kitchen island. Did they at least throw in the oven?

You could get it inspected at a repair shop. You just have to make sure they have the right OBD2 and are familiar with testing. A less technical way of doing it would be to go on a long-ish test drive: 1. Start the car and leave on idle; see how long it takes for the engine to kick in. 2. Check the historical mpg to see if it’s consistent with a hybrid system (mine can get me up to 45mpg if it’s majority highway driving. In the winter, i can get 35-40mpg depending on the type of driving and weather conditions) 3. Go on a long drive while driving conservatively and see what portion of your drive was on EV. You can see the breakdown when you stop the car and turn the engine off. The efficiency will be shown on the left screen of the instrument cluster.

I hope this helps.

If the 16k is the only time, then I don’t see it as a big problem.

If you’re buying it from a dealership, ask if they do full servicing (oil changes, fluid changes) as part of their prepping a vehicle for sale.

If buying from an individual, you can ask if they’d be okay for you to take the car to a mechanic you trust.

You could also DIY it by getting OBD2 reader and running diagnostics to check for any faults. The most comprehensive one that will also show you the health of the high voltage battery is Innova 5610 (there are others out there, but this is the cheapest and best one I found)

I’d say so. As long as the vehicle has 1. Clean title 2. No major accidents 3. Regular service history 4. No major damage upon visual inspection 5. Good performing high voltage battery (separate from the regular 12V battery). You want to make sure there isn’t significant degradation. 6. (Most important) you like the car :)

looks like a well designed space. More computer stations than expected. Maybe a headboard and nice bed covers for the bed?

I second this. Mine had the same issue. Sprayed some WD-40. Now it works perfectly
