Hi,

I didn’t mean to get in on your bad side but I was speaking in a metaphor of a mindset and I apologize for using the quotation marks.
I will have to be more careful about using those things.
You can check out your last line here, as it looked like a turnover to me.

I did also read that your mechanic uses a spare sensor, so that tells me you are in better hands than I thought! I apologize again for my over worrying, for you.

I feel far you being in the heat and if you have humidity with that can be a big hindrance to go hiking or exploring into unknown territories. I’m a bit lazy myself and it why I don’t live east of Omaha, thank you very much!

Anyway I hope that in trying to explain the lack of greater results and actual differences between these instruments.

It been a man world for too long because it a matter of conquering territories inside this big business of creating more business. We need more women minded thinking in the future.
The electric car field is wide open and just look at the many ways they want to charge batteries.
They have almost got the cords fairly standardized, now, after how many years? 20+?

I think a drive over an induction plate is going to win against vandalism.
Also, it’s effortless, using a VIN from a scan under the car to start the charger!
Drive in and get green lighted. Done!
You leave the car with everything you want to carry with you, without a second chore done out in the heat or rain and snow!

Everyone wants a piece of the action without concerns of how quick things will go obsolete.
I have waited and waited by keeping my 6 240’s running for almost nothing and haven’t worn them out yet! Just two of us?
My investment in total almost equals the medium price of one new plastic & foam car or an electric car!
A Prius, that actually still has a dash to look over or I can modify!
I saw the inside of a Tesla. It has only a computer screen and it looked so empty and sterile!
Yuck for big bucks! No thank you?

The 700 series was Volvo’s attempt to lose the old and they have been experimenting ever since!
There is talk of no more combustion engines as the gadgets are where the money is made anyhow.
Some cars offer a packaged meal service in their trunks!
Maybe their after the homeless government checks?

As you know, Hide and watch out!
An electric car might be in my near future, if it settles down to some standards, a bit more!
(:-)
Good luck to you for hanging in there, Susan!
