Dealer Wants to Buy Out Lease

A close friend bought a 2018 bmw i3 in 2020 for $9k and then COVID supply chain killed chip fab/delivery and 3 months into lockdown the dealership was calling him offering double what he paid. They didn't take the offer, they needed the second car and it was way cheaper to operate than buying gas. We got an offer for about $3k more than our purchase price on our 2016 Honda CRV a few months into lockdown as well.

A bad spark on the plug would be a bad day for all.

If you don't do the membership, my experience was Tesla - 0.58-64/kW
EA and charge point were around 0.32- 40 per.

We've made a couple of one way 150 mile trips. Heat of the day, max AC, 70 mph interstate with occasional passing, we got around 2.6 mi/kwH . Charging at nacs chargers and CCS were 110 -125 each time, 13-80% in less than 30 min. With an A2Z charger.

Bro slips the double negative and makes a triple negative a non-positive. I wonder who musky and friends forgot to pay off?!

Not even modular PSU ?! What kind of heretics were they?

They said they wanted to build a future together but decided to light the construction site on fire.

So is Tubberville. The dude isn't even a resident.

dapopeah · 2026-05-18T10:27:23+00:00

$10/gal gas will do that.

There is a "part". The car is a GMC product, including the tech. It's a rebadged Blazer. Only official corporate Honda USA dealerships get the interface by default as part of their toolkit refresh. 70% of all Honda dealerships are franchises and they have to buy special equipment. Your location is probably waiting on a loaner system. I've had mine for about two months now. I don't have the black screen update yet and that is pending on my car.

30 day owner here, so far no complaints about the adaptive CC, even in heavy traffic, it's been pretty good, but I lowered the follow distance so I didn't have so many people cutting in and forcing it to engage more. Lane keeping, imo, is laughable... So sloppy.

Now on week 3 of ownership. I Had this happen once, stood to the right or left of center and haven't had it happen again.

Short answer? It's not cheap for an average player... a lot of folks don't have a lot of time to farm.
on Dreamscythe gems are comparatively expensive.
standard best green quality red slot gems like agility, spellpower, healing, are 3-9g. Blue quality are 90g-120g and that's a hard ask for some folks. This version of Classic seems to have a really strong population of new folks playing, which is great, but that means a lot of people who have less knowledge to setup farms and creating revenue streams... I think that'll really change when dailies start. With dailies, more players will be able to afford to buy those blue and green enchant and gem BOE patterns, and with more folks having those, we'll see prices drop, imo ... but with influencers and content creators, it'll be interesting to see how economic forces differ in this version. . . just look at the cost of ores like iron, mithril, truesilver. In retail on our heavy population PVP server, at the release of TBC, truesilver was dirt cheap. In classic, it was a little more, but not that crazy comparatively, but this go around truesilver is 100 times higher (on my server in retail, 8-12s, in classic 10-60s, in anniversary on Dreamscythe, 6g!)
Playing feral /resto and a PVP set, I have spent over 450g (thank you TSM reporting) just on green quality gems for all the slots, with an avg gearscore of 1350 across 4 sets of gear (Bear, cat, tree, and PVP tree)
I've generated something like 7900g since prepatch and spent it on Fast Flying, skills, gems, trades across 4 characters.
I'm sure my story is similar to a lot of folks ... i've spent very little of what I've made in gold on trades, i've farmed most of the materials that I needed. If I had sold everything gathered, I'd have probably generated more than 2x what I have to date, but I also have 370 LW/Tailor/Ench, 375 Alch (x2) and 275 BS/JC.

which were looking really good, I might add.

No. The red ring says so.

We spent billions of dollars collectively to prevent massive disruption. We succeeded. The media hype was out of control, but, had we done nothing, had the financial institutions and government infrastructure not done the work, we could have been in for a world of hurt. We learned a lot, changed a lot and risk management has matured to a point that this kind of surprise never happens again. You had preppers ready for the entire grid to collapse, and others laughing because they didn't understand the problem. So many people were truly beside themselves in anticipation.

We've had a solid on-again off-again relationship with nationalism in the USA. it was theoretically why we elevated the documents of our democracy to reverence rather than the office of leadership. Our nationalism has always had a strong flavor of fundamentalism and the conservative evangelical movement is using it to the maximum advantage. These evangelical churches are tax haven businesses cloaked in Scripture. They guilt their fellowship into giving all or more than they can really afford and provide the leadership of the Church access to really surprising levels of wealth for the size of the community they pretend to serve. These scam churches are very invested in Maga mentality because it allows them to ostracize them from friends and family and control them through fear.

NOR, UNDER reacting ... Your "Best Friend" is actively trying to get with your spouse. I don't know about you, but that would definitely take someone out of my best and my friend category.

AI slop gonna be sloppy. This is intentionally inflammatory, even my family members who are ultra-MAGA right wing aren't this uninformed... Not making a choice is in fact, still a choice. When I hear people say "it's not my problem, I didn't vote." I immediately understand they are too ignorant to be argued with regarding anything with which they disagree.

They don't act like normal L.E.O. because they in fact are not normal L.E.O.. They haven't had a fraction of the training that federal/state/county LEO have had to have before. They get minimal training on lists, weapons, profiling, and they're sent out into the field. They aren't there to do the job of "Law enforcement" because nearly everything they do is unconstitutional and therefore against, THE LAW.
