    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I had a 2019 Colorado as a work vehicle. A rear facing child seat required the corresponding front seat to be moved all the way forward. Basically impossible to do behind the driver and have a safe (not to mention comfortable) driving position. Front facing child seat provided relief, but when...

    Have you considered taking 330 to 30 to 151? It is shorter, faster*, and there are chargers in Cedar Rapids. This is the way we go (frequent visits to Dubuque) and I smoked that route for an EV, albeit one with the Tesla style charger. *faster at least for us due to our location in Ankeny

    Live here and can verify. It takes longer to go from east to west side than it does to go from East side to West Des Moines. Also they have disruptive road construction down to an art: if there are three ways to get from point A to B, 2 of them will be under road construction.

    20 Ribeyes for $40 Scam

    3 years to grow the herd: Starting from the moment the market shifts to make growing the herd (keeping heifers around) more attractive, which isn't the case right now. Who knows when that will turn. Long story short, market isn't changing much for at least 3 years.

    We test drove the Lexus rz450, liked it but passed. It is noticeably smaller on the interior (or seems that way) than her current Outback. Waiting on the i3, but I suspect it will meet the same fate due to the interior size. On a minor note the dash display is notably outdated on the Lexus too...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Very dangerous assumption about correlation vs causation here. I certainly don't disagree with the overall message, or deny that energy plays a large role, or that electric/renewables aren't necessary, but... Britain was the dominant power due to industrialization (coal energy was a side...

    Any defense attorney that is as good as Parrish is at their job is going to be controversial.

    Ashley Okland Murder

    Not saying this is the case, but sometimes they take them for the notoriety (and the $ of course). I know several in that business and from my opinion she's got the best team in the state.

    ***Official 2026 NCAA Tournament Thread***

    Pretty sure the players thought this too. I know I can't help thinking the reality of Jefferson's injury (likely out for remainder of tournament) took its toll and affected their play.

    Yes, but his presence yesterday would have made Tennessee’s gameplan untenable.

    They are the luckiest in all of NCAA; just look at the blunders that got them to this point. Can count lots of other examples if you think about it.
