Average age of a car on the road is 11.4 years that means MOST people own a car longer than 10 years.
It should, you are just not maintaining it 4 oil changes at $50 each = $200 Each year you should do one other service item, This year I had brake fluid flushed at $325 (I'm up to $525) next year is a transmission fluid and filter at $600. Last year I had the AC serviced to the tune of $400 and saved me from having an expensive Compressor failure later on. 2 years from now is time for a tuneup, etc....
And that is my honda civic. Most cars have about $600 in basic maintenance costs. Some need it more like the GM garbage that started to fall apart after 5 years.
if you drive a car you are insane, 2 miles can be leisurely walked in 15 minutes. get a small folding bicycle and you can make it there in less than 5 minutes.
Because mile ranges change based on driving.. Grandma can eat up the 100 mile range driving around in town on a 102 degree day without ever going more than 20 miles away from home.
You might like the possibility of having to push the car home, Grandma on the other hand does not.
Correct.
I dont either. I just sit here. but I have worked for a living in a foundry, THOSE people actually work, us in the offices just screw around all day.
Sitting at your desk all day is not working.
You are confusing Rich with "ultra rich"
If you are one of the snobbish rich that say you are not rich but you have a nanny for your kids.... Oh sorry, an Au Pair, Nanny sounds so pompish... Then you are rich.
The fact that your income each year can put 10 families into homes and feed them IN THE USA is another good example of you are actually rich.
Yes, $25K a year is enough to put a small very poor family in a crackhouse apartment and feed them.
Yet another reason that I will never ever give comcast a dime of my money. These scumbags are claiming they must raise rates? They already make record profits.
No Obamacare is the fault of republicans. it should have been single payer and kicked the insurance companies and big pharma in the nuts. the Repubs demanded it be the corporate welfare for insurance companies it is today.
Since October 26, 2001. Patriot act passed and made it perfectly legal.
Unless US citizens are deemed to be enemy combatants, then you can murder all of them you want. No military man went to trial and was executed for the murders in kent state.
If you think the US military will not mow down US citizens on orders, then you are insane. Go and ask off duty military men what their oath means. none of them will say they frag their superior officer before shooting an american citizen.
Due process has been dead cince 9/11 or do you forget that you wanted it gone? PATRIOT ACT did away with due process to make you feel safe from terrorist boogymen.
Or if you are journalists. we really like killing journalists.
Yes, at least that is how the American government thinks. And there is a segment of the US population, the incredibly stupid ones, that also believe that.
