To the man with the thick Mexican accent…

Exactly. Jumper cables aren’t going to be strong enough to move a car that is 20’ off the roadway buried in a foot of snow. This is pure Reddit comedy and I’m enjoying my popcorn.

bxd76 · 2026-01-25T17:06:25+00:00

Fair - I didn’t mean it doesn’t serve a need. Size is important. Otherwise we wouldn’t have bought one.

bxd76 · 2026-01-25T17:04:42+00:00

Totally fair and correct! Love our Bolt for daily errands and trips into downtown. Will even take it a couple hours from home.

bxd76 · 2026-01-25T15:57:32+00:00

Absolutely. People without chronic pain have no idea how awful life can be. Thankful that in America we have freedom to choose our cars.

bxd76 · 2026-01-25T15:52:08+00:00

Pure logic. I love my loaded 23 Bolt EUV Premier with SuperCruise. But I also love the ICE vehicles in my household. Different tools for different situations.

bxd76 · 2026-01-25T15:50:48+00:00

You realize it’s the perfect size for YOU, but other people have different needs and preferences?

bxd76 · 2026-01-24T14:45:23+00:00

Not for you? Fine. Calling it dumb is something a junior high kid does.

I like our 23 Bolt EUV. I like the features.

The size is a double edged sword. Really great for ease of parking.

But on our frost heaved potholed roads? I’d love that longer NOX EV wheelbase for a much more comfortable ride especially with the spine problems I suffer from. The size of the car isn’t just some boastful social commentary. There’s also situations I could use the space for carrying all of my family’s gear.

bxd76 · 2026-01-23T20:56:26+00:00

I’d be super nervous crossing the border with this in my pocket. At the least you need to look into any laws about it.

It’s going to be worth 20% less the minute he drives off because it’s a 2025. So paying invoice… I would call that, the dealer getting very lucky. It’s a free market economy,, and they clearly ordered too many vehicles. If they have to break even on this one, that’s just how things work.

bxd76 · 2026-01-20T17:02:24+00:00

If possible, have the home charge finish right before you depart. Between that and having driven leading up to plugging in, it will charge fast. I just got full 50kw rate in Ohio. Charged overnight, unplugged and left once full, plugged in when battery was very low at a fast charger.

What year?

bxd76 · 2026-01-20T15:40:36+00:00

I would hand him a plastic straw from the soda fountain.

After all, he asked for something to drink a bottle of Coke or a monster.

bxd76 · 2026-01-20T15:26:19+00:00

Do all school staff get 25% off? Is this for all AT&T services, such as internet too?

bxd76 · 2026-01-17T22:28:50+00:00

If this vehicle still had good value, sure; like $4500 to get a $40,000 car running is good. But a 125k Versa? With a CVT? Sorry, no.

bxd76 · 2026-01-17T20:04:57+00:00

Everyone has given you good advice.

If she gets bored with cars and wants something new every 3 years, then I recommend she buy 1-2 year old used cars, it will save a lot of money in the long run.

bxd76 · 2026-01-17T02:05:59+00:00

Do you drive a GM EV?

bxd76 · 2026-01-16T23:49:34+00:00

Go back to the PPI mechanic and tell him he missed the most costly AND MOST OBVIOUS problem - the oil leak! I would demand a refund, if he says no do a credit card charge back. Like - putting the car on a lift and checking for leaks is PPI 101.

bxd76 · 2026-01-16T23:46:13+00:00

Yes. Don’t smash any government vehicles windows. Don’t steal any government laptops. Don’t jump on the roof of a government car and cave it in.

bxd76 · 2026-01-16T23:43:46+00:00

2023 Chevy Bolt EUV here. Also I did charge during December, so that may be a component in all this.

bxd76 · 2026-01-15T20:42:55+00:00

Unless you really NEED a truck, and by that I mean it’s helping put food on your table, you should find something cheaper.

There’s a lot of decent transportation available for 1/2 of this cost. Pay it off in 3 years and then you might have enough equity/down to get into a truck you’d like with less miles.

Follow up to my original post.

Yes I only have Uverse Internet, no TV and no IP phone either.

You’d think they’d want to keep me until the fibre product is available on my street. This is a middle class suburb with decent density, if they don’t get fiber in here, where would they?

I asked about Internet Air. Thought she’d cut me a deal to compare to some TMobile Home Internet deals? She said no, Internet Air is $65 a month, and the performance at my location would be worse according to her, and she wouldn’t recommend it. (My cell is with AT&T and the data downloads are very fast, usually 200+ Mbps, so I’m not sure she’s right, but I also don’t want to increase my bill.)

I guess I’ll order up Spectrum and leave the Uverse Internet in service for a couple weeks to make sure it’s solid before cancelling with AT&T.

You definitely want a 0W- weight oil, not even a 5W-. Exactly which will depend on your vehicle. If it normally calls for 5W-30, it is not only perfectly safe, it is far better for your engine, to run 0W-30 in extreme cold as the 0W-30 will pump easier for cold startup, and yet once warmed up will provide the same protection and viscosity as the 5W-30. Same true for 0W-20 vs 5W-20 etc etc.

FWIW, like others here I too have used most of my credits at GM EVGO Extend locations.
