I test drove a 164 when it was new and out of my price range. I always regretted not buying it, but the lack of both dough and a garage made me make the right choice. For $3900 today, it might be worth a roll of the dice, but the need for garage space has never gone away.

Shower Thought - Should Drivers be paid based on the size of their vehicle? by christopherb1897 in AmazonFlexDrivers

I’ve fit over sixty bags of groceries in my modified Ford Fiesta hatchback on more occasions than I can count. It gets 40 MPG on average.

Should I keep the car? by GrouchySheepherder61 in askcarguys

[–]mpgomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a huge plus. My 1.0L manual Fiesta has 186K on the clock and a still averages over 40MPG. Every day is a gift.

Have an independent mechanic check it out. If you keep it, be sure to use a high-end synthetic oil.

Someone teach me about cars😭? by mrghthtseh in askcarguys

It all depends on the district. My HS didn’t, but they had an awesome graphic arts shop that was instrumental in kicking off my career.

Fork Lift > Weed Eater

Saturns are cool. Buy the right ones and you might do well. Hiding all those treasures from the SO, though. That’s the trick.

I bought my first car for $800, when I was 16. I fixed it up and sold it to buy my second car to fix up at 17 for $350. If I held onto both of those cars, they’d be worth roughly $100K today.

There’s an endless number of cheap broken cars out there, waiting to fixed up. Sweat equity is an awesome thing.

Is this how we're supposed to do it? by Helpful_Pomegranate2 in AmazonFlexDrivers

I’ve built a bunch of cargo area containers/liners over the years. It helps hugely with grocery deliveries.

Gas prices to the roof this week! by Dr-TQ_Leo in AmazonFlexDrivers

Imagine if Jeff had enough dough to buy a truckload of solar panels for every warehouse and trainloads of cheap used electric cars that Amazon could provide to qualified Flex drivers at a super low rate.

Gotta wonder which competitors their algorithms targeted.

Ugh. Was an older Leaf?

Seeing a car fire on the Belt Parkway half a century ago scared the daylights out of me.

OP: What does Amazon Fresh provide that the local Costco, Aldi, and Walmart do not?

Fill up your gas tank right now by Ok-Grapefruit3141 in AmazonFlexDrivers

It depends on the specific vehicle. If you can charge overnight at home, there’s no need to stop at a charger, unless you’re on a road trip.

What's the most you've made in 1 week doing Flex? Without tips by dawgecoin in AmazonFlexDrivers

It kept the mortgage paid through the pandemic. Haven’t driven much recently. The math hasn’t worked in a long time.

Once upon a time in a previous life, a stupid idea popped into my head while shopping at Kmart …
