I've been putting off car maintenance for a long time. With a shopping list of things that needed to be done, I arranged car rental and the mechanic got me his corporate rate. That allowed me to get an SUV for the same price as a compact. This worked out great as the larger vehicle saved me another trip to Miami to bring up computers, TV, clothing and some household items in our never-ending relocation project.

I selected a 2019 Mazda CX-5 that has an MSRP of $35,000 with all the options.
While they state 26-28mpg combined, I was getting around 20 miles per gallon.
Keyless entry and push start ignition seems to be standard for all new cars. The CX-5 has an electric tailgate that only locks when the key fob is more than 40 feet away. The bad part is you could be inside a restaurant and the car hatch just outside is unlocked. The doors are locked but the hatch isn't! We checked it a few times to to be sure.

Lane assist. Since the steering is electronic, you can feel the steering stiffen and resist if you change lanes without signalling. It attempts to pull you back into the lane. If you drift in your lane, it will give a visual warning on the console and if you're on the highway it will beep with a visual warning. The same thing happens if you start to change lanes and the sensors detect cars coming up from behind in adjacent lanes. You can feel the steering wheel, hear and see the alert.

The steering, brakes, transmission control are 'by wire' and electro-mechanically or fully electronic and not solely connected mechanically.

Although smaller in size to other SUV's this was more car than I would want for anything long term, but nice to experience for a few days. Softer ride than I'm accustomed to, but I disliked the hard leather seat. Fully controllable electric with lumbar support, I was unable to find comfort with that.

For people who don't know how to parallel park, there's the all electric Hyundai MOBIS with the c-Corner System. Each wheel has a motor and steering control to turn 90 degrees.



Not only can it drive sideways, it can do a 360 degree turn in it's own space and do a tilting 90 degree turn. On the road it can change lanes with all 4 wheels tipping the the car stays straight.

I’m so inclined to text my customer back. The idea of buying a full carat diamond for the price of a 3/4 or 1/2 diamond price at my experience is really ticking me off. Sure, they have a budget. It’s not a mystery that a car salesperson works entirely on a commission. You buyers expect me to make nothing so you get what you want fukc all the rest? Please, get over yourselves and buy what you can afford. I’m sick of it and pretty close to saying it to the next jerk. I would rather starve like I already am than cater to your idiotic sense of entitlement.

A driver’s education teacher in Iowa dies in crash when his 14 year old listed as a 'StreetSmarts Driver’s Ed student overcorrected when entering the shoulder of a highway, crashing with an oncoming SUV.

The 71 year old teacher was pronounced dead at the scene and others were taken to a hospital with injuries.

Maybe 14 is too young to learn to drive.

I was born in '64
None before me spoke for me
I was free mind living in the Romper Stompers
Big Blue Marble schooled me
Tales from nations far from me
I ain't no dummy
Put your cache away
You got nothing to stay
Real world chimes
Whines remind
A charlie horse is just a spasm
Of a malignant o*gasm
Of hate and spew
That flavors a stew
Of yes and know
We all know better
lick the letter
seal it with a kiss
of life or death

Hello friends,
No India made product can be compared to a product from Japan, U.K. USA, Switzerland, because of its quality of functionality, usefulness and long lasting qualities. Raw materials used in a foreign product are better, technology used is better and functionality world class.Indian product is like a beggar, beginning a begging culture of recolonization, appreciation and looks.
A foreign product looks beautiful, works flawlessly and lasts a lifetime. To top the list is the marketability of the product, it is done by ads. in TVs, hoardings and free gifting to its users.
A mess has been created in the automobile market, especially in Electric Vehicles (EV), giving a tough competition to US based Tesla Electric vehicles in terms of price. Some Indian companies like Tata has come out with an electric vehicle priced below 10 lakhs rupees.But Tata is wrong as well as right. In India, price is everything in life. It may be a loaf of bread or an expensive Diamond from a Jeweler. Tata has to think on another point and that is manufacturing. A foreign car is better manufactured than an Indian car.You cannot compare a Fiat car with a German Mercerize Benz.
So watch out for the foreign products in Indian market.

Deep thoughts from the depths of what I thought I knew
The flashpoint that fractures all reason
Making irrational my temporary reality
Viewing a personality split into two like I’ve got those VR goggles on watching real time twins of a man

A Morganluv pushed us together
And I didn’t repel him
Myself, delighted, as I typed away
Far, far away, on beaches, in pubs

My loneliness crushed by laughter
Reading and posting, a brat pack
Not ashamed of appearing tens of thousands on his Who’s Viewed

A special Luv pushed us together and I did not repel
Rather, he lifted my wings so that I could fly again

I love you

I found her
Stretched out, as if she was leaping
Her eyes, parted, still sparkled
Her returning glance, stilled by death

In shock, myself, stilled by death
I crouched down and touched her
She felt frozen in time
When I picked her up, she felt heavier than in life

Such a beautiful cat, even after this life
Frozen in time. Leaping into the next world
Her grey paws reaching for the beyond
