When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
AHH! That makes sense -
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
So you just drove from charging station to charging station? What am I missing? Also, he didn't forget where he parked, he was showing off, which I get because it is pretty cool. I tried it once, but it was in an empty parking lot. I'm too chicken to try the summons mode with others around. -
Why is life worth living?
My god things have become expensive. I just looked at my receipt from 2017, and a complete roof replacement with GAF Timberline HD shingles cost my $8750. In 2021, we replaced our Furnace/Air for $11k Carrier 59TN6B080C21--20 -Infinity Seriesbr>-Up to 96% AFUE - Two-Stage Communicating... -
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
I read somewhere online that this would be a really nice looking $50k Honda, and I thought that was a perfect synopsis. -

I got my new meter installed, which took 5 minutes and didn't interupt the power. Starting June 1st we'll see these new rates. After a year I can switch back if it didn't save money. I'm going to adjust the air from 1-6(pre cool 12-1), try not charge the Tesla until after 10pm, and run... -
Europe (Germany) Guided Travel Recommendations
The time we were in Munich, it was 3 weeks before Octoberfest, which was perfect for me. So many legendary beer gardens. We spent one day/night in Ehrwald and went to the top of Zugspitze. This was probably 10 years ago. Last month we went to Budapest--Vienna--Salzburg--Innsbruck. We then took... -
Europe (Germany) Guided Travel Recommendations
I must be the only person in the world who didn't enjoy the castle. Yes, we've all seen this lovely picture, but being stuck on a bridge with 1,000 other people taking the exact same picture is not my idea of fun. Seemed like disney world to me. -
Just for all you Ankeny bashers
I agree with the downtown. Uptown Ankeny has trailside tap, uptown garage, and leaning tower. Nice farmers market. I'm assuming uptown=downtown? I lived for 20 years in johnston and can't tell you where downtown johnston is located. Same for Urbandale, is that where Christian photo is located... -

There were zero between 500-650 when we were looking. -
Just for all you Ankeny bashers
When looking for new homes last year, I really want to find something in Ankeny but it seems like everything was either really cheap from national builders, or way over our budget. Waukee, Urbandale, and Grimes had a lot more options in our price range. -

Raising Speed Limits Cost Lives
One thing that people never talk about are the speeds Iowa has in towns. We were in Palm Springs a couple years back and they had 50mph speed limits where ours would have been 35. I saw this all over California and Arizona. I'm not talking about 25mph zone in residential areas. A perfect... -
Raising Speed Limits Cost Lives
Those were the speeds I saw on the autobahn. Very few people were driving over 80mph. -
What % of your takehome pay are you spending on living expenses?
"Take home pay" may be a big part of it. A lot of people don't save for retirement, while others save more than their mortgage.
