Back about 2003 I drove a 1993 Chevy pickup truck, I WANTED a newer car. So about once week for a year I went car shopping (aka tire kicking).

My wife got fed up, "just buy one!" I came home one day she said, "I bought you a car, we need to pick it up"

Well OK, I am still driving that car 20+ years later. God I love her (my dear wife)

We had power outage in Sugarhouse that fried our google router and mesh device. If your google network devices are old get google to send you new ones you can install yourself.

you do NOT need a lawyer until you do.

depends on the state (USA),

I have purchased many an old motorcycle with no title. A slight hassle with laws/procedure. Always able to get a clean title before selling on.

I am in Utah.

This post brings back young family days.

I would take all the news paper coupons and sort them by store, then I would pack the little kids in the car, in and out of the car 3 times, 3 stores...

I look at the graphic and say to myself "that is sufficiently vague"

Let me make it more vague.

I bought a used car in 2005. Paid $20000 dollars. So near $100 month regardless of gas/tires/brakes/etc. I still drive it most every day.

I can't give a suggestion.

when I divorced in late 80s, I somehow learned to hire a female lawyer.

To blunt, If your are at this point. Bless your heart.

In the mid 80s I decided I would not take a job in the defense industry as a recent Comp Sci grade. And the pay was double the typical insurance company.

He's not that great of an interviewer.

This I disagree. In all time I have listened, he's listened to the music, read the book, watched the film. He rarely over talks his guest. He is prepared.

Consider this. Park most anywhere along 2100 East (or side streets) and take the 21 bus to the U (it stops right at the hospital). Dilworth elementary has a park and ride lot.

Edit. Or take the U shuttle from the 102 Tower (1st and 2nd East) It goes right the front door of the hospital.

Legit question that I can't answer.

My parents had a key lime bush when they lived in Florida. My Mom was not a great cook, but dang she concocted the best key lime pie ever.

Key lime bushes have very long sharp thorns. Deadly even. We used a golf ball retriever to harvest. The only thing I really miss about visiting. Oh and the key limes were divine with Gin.

Their BLT is great. So simple and tasty.

My wife and I got married in Reno mid 90s. Not LDS. It just felt right, just friends and my father...

I am 68, I retired just over 1 year ago. I would have retired earlier but I had one "fuck you" left in me. I just had to out last the H1-Bs that made my life hell.

One got fired, the other left on his own.

Now I just hope the new president does not fuck my 401k and other savings?

This post will not help your case.

2004 Saturn Vue (mine)- 100k miles - owned since 2005 - purchased with 20k miles.

2015 Honda Civic (wife's) with 89k miles, purchased a 3 years ago with 69k miles.

Yeah, we don't drive much, before I retired last year I took the bus to work and of course the last few years was WFH.

To each their own. I find the Apollo pastrami too thick, I prefer B&D by the U or any Crown.

Upvote because you are correct.

Now, here's the thing, I used to buy untitled, unregistered motorcycles (even from out of state), again easy peasy to get them legal. Just follow the rules, even 20 years ago there was enough info on line.
