Only one EV charger at home?!

You haven't seen anything until you've seen a pickup with dual tanks. I remember those sunny days of yore when gas pumps only went up to $99.99.

My tank only holds 42 liters. What sort of whale do you drive?

Kafirs? I gather there's an orangutan or similar with 80. Nigerians are 65. This conclusively proves some of us devolved not evolved from apes.

No excuse for being that low though. Police ought te be 120+.

Nothing like that round here, but I'm pretty sure if any disabled person was to ask, one of the people serving at the till, or no doubt another customer, would help.

What an interesting, time consuming, and expensive way to charge a battery.

I'd disconnect it, and check the voltage once every 2 months, if it was too low, plug in a charger.

12.6V is full, 11.6V is 20%. Keep it above 12V (60%) so you can start it.

I used to have two incase one was in the garage. But there's double the tax and MOTs. Insurance usually doubles unless you can find a rare sensible company who realises your mileage is the same.

iirc part of the driving test was starting on a hill.

I can hardly hear my washing machine on spin, until it decides to rearrange the kitchen.

I had sort of a Bella Lugosi voice on my Nuvi. On long highway trips it would get bored and say stuff like 'I think I hear someone in the trunk'.

We don't have "forecourts". They sound hazardous.

If there is excrement to be dealt with, I'll call it excrement. But I don't use the words constantly, out of context, which a lot of people here do.

Snow is white, excrement isn't.

It's not a bad word. It's more polite than S*IT (shouted, in all caps.)

Strange how many men shout that constantly, but I've never met a woman who does.

I has a girlfriend who said "oh corrode" when she was upset. That was sort of cute.

I've seen passenger cars smoke their brakes because they didn't shift down.

The trucks I drove had Jacobs brakes.

They were very effective but many trucks that operated primarily in the east weren't equipped and often the drivers weren't familiar with mountain driving. I80 coming down the hill from Donner pass has a number of billboards coaching drivers.

My father and I were swimming when every mutual aid siren in the county went off. It was bad but a couple of hundred yards further he would have come to the town square that couldn't be navigated at speed. The driver was lost and made a bad decision to go over the mountain.

In some cases the original design anticipated enough heat loss to melt the snow off the roof. And then they insulated the attic.

You probably could eat this. Except under the bird feeder. And wear the deer wander around. I'd avoid the trail the raccoon made from his den to a potential source of cat food.

One of my mother's sayings directed toward some holier than thou type was 'She wouldn't say s*it if she had a mouthful.'

Nah, in Humboldt County they're just stoned out of their gourds.

I wasn't thrilled that a '82 Firebird I bought had AT but that was what was available. Then I took a contract in Boston... Boston probably isn't the world's largest parking lot but they try harder.

One of the stranger chores I've had was convincing my 70-odd year old mother that she could drive an automatic. She'd only been driving since the early 1920s. She caught on fast and decided she really liked power steering too. My father didn't believe in automatics, power anything, car radios, and so forth.

Not sure why it would be just the hot ones selling better in those years.

I insist on them, but that was so my massive great alsatian had his own window. Previous was a 1300 VW Beetle. The bugger insisted on having his head out the window all the time so he could bite the trucks going past in the opposite direction and used to slobber all down the back of my neck in the summer. So I changed it for a 4 door Golf so he got his own window.

4 door is much easier to load with big stuff too. I do garage/yard sales.

Not here.

A steaming turd small frog car. Renault something or other, forget which exactlu.

Yes you do.

Then you need a new hearing aid.

Each of ours (Highlander and FJ cruiser) holds 60 liters. What sort of econobox do you drive?
