The other day, Bam was lost someplace in Mexico - Mexico City, Juarez, Mirada - he wasn't sure. I suspect it was probably Tiajuana. In any event, I think I saw him making his way back via DFW today.

How much range increase for what cost? I hear the early ones have 120ish mile range and the later cars have 150ish? Battery replacement is about $7K, at least.
I would be concerned if the car is capable of DC charging. Some Spark EVs are, no Volts are and most Bolt EVs are. Don't know about Nissans.
If I had an EV that I could put a bike in that would be ideal for me these days. I don't need a long range and gas is still $6 here. I actually considered a Spark when I retired because clean ones were around $10k. When gas shot up those same cars were listed for $16k.
Of course with the small amount of driving I do it wouldn't make sense, as long as my old car keeps going.

At this point, it's just talk as the Saturn is not dead yet.

Mrs. GeneJockey doesn't want to get rid of her beloved 21 year old Sienna. Last time I suggested it, she said, "Do you know how much new Siennas cost?"
I tried to suggest that maybe she should buy something other than a minivan, since she never carries enough people or stuff to warrant a minivan, but she looked at me like I was nuts or something.

I have a good slingshot and clay ammo for use on the non-feral cats who maraud in our back yard. I don’t understand the attitude of people who keep “outdoor” cats in a densely populated area and expect their neighbors simply to accept them on their property.

I don't really care about DC charging and even an older battery that has reduced range is not an issue. As above, the longest trip I ever take in the Saturn is 20 miles. For longer trips we can always take the Fit.
At this point, it's just talk as the Saturn is not dead yet.

I drove my beater S-10 for 18 years. Sold it with about 300K on the odo.

As long as you're ok with the Saturn why worry? I learned about beaters from my father. He used one for going to work for years. I remember he had a Hudson he used until the block cracked, he drove it to the junkyard. That was a cool car.

Is it my imagination or are we seeing a glimmer of the very strong dollar in bike part pricing? I need to replenish the strategic chain stockpile soon.

It’s grossly humid out. I feel sticky just sitting outside drinking coffee.

During the warmest months, at least, the humidity is highest first thing in the morning. As the day heats up it subsides. Prolly true in the colder months too but I never bothered to check.

I discovered, this morning, that a paper coffee filter can be used twice, but not thrice. That third time it clogs up an makes quite the mess. Be forewarned.
