I wonder why there is a push for electric vehicles. Ask yourself that question. There are other fuels out there that need to be looked into. 

Maybe because Wall Street can make more money with electric?

Patience and a checklists top my list. 

Exactly!

Try an Andersen

Most of the reviews online are just cut and past of the manufacturers webpage. Trustpilot indicates bad reviews 

Stated value is the MOST they will pay. ACV is most likely unless you are underinsured 

Agreed Value is different in than they will pay the agreed value in the event of a total loss.

A true stained glass has leaded inserts. Would not the flexing and bouncing of an RV going down the road cause the leaded glass to break?

just asking and giving an opinion cause I do not know for sure.

Do like they do on the tiny home shows

tape off a box on the floor to put what you “have to have” and then see if that will fit. Then add some want to haves, etc

You did and I did, but most people don’t. You seem to project your thoughts and dealings to everyone else. I am glad you enjoy your hybrid. I have no use for one as I live out in the country, drive 250-300 hundred miles many days and one will not work for me.

Maybe one of these days but not at the present which is where I live.

Most people do not keep a vehicle for 5 years, hence all the new car sales

Higher charging rates are coming.  Rick, change is coming whether you like it or not.   Your saying the same things people were saying 100 years ago, 200 years ago, since time began. Change use to take decades, now 6 months might be a long time.  😎

Like I said, fifty years ago they were talking this, still has not happened. Will it one day, maybe but not likely anytime soon.

Well they have been saying that renewable energy was coming for 50 years. Everything seems to have the downside. Can I charge my car in 10 minutes  like I can fuel it? No.

just where are you going to put all of these wind generators? I guarantee it will be NIMBY for most folks. Heck, the rich elite in Martha’s Vineyard killed a giant offshore wind farm because they didn’t like the view!

Blades from wind generators cannot be recycled, have a max 20 year lifespan and end up in landfills!

Ahh, the old save the environment by having to generate more electricity scheme.

How does that disagree with what you "know" to be true? They can but nowhere does it say that they do  ☺️ The other thing that I found interesting when I toured the refill station for the tankers is that you can't tell what the truck is unloading as they have 1 unloading area and hoses for each type of fuel there so the driver just connects the proper hose for what he is unloading. At times he might be unloading both gasoline and diesel. The Love's drivers usually load however much gasoline the trip requires and then fill any unused tank sections with diesel, since they pump so much of it. 

EDIT:  Just as an afterthought, I wonder if there isn't an occasional driver who puts a load into the wrong tank at a station?

Exactly why I have insurance claims on them!

Love's has two truck stops just across the street from each other at exit 540 on I-20, Van, TX. I have a friend who drives a fuel tanker for them and drives a truck stationed there. Those two truck stops use enough fuel that they keep 3 tank trucks stationed there, each one operating for 2 shifts of 10 per day, 7 days per week. According to my friend, they haul more than 80% of their loads to one of those two stations, with the number of loads per shift of  3 and sometimes 4. He also said that each stations pumps about 1 load of gasoline (all 3 octaines combined) and the remainder is diesel. Their trucks tanks are split into 4 tanks so can carry 4 types of fuel at one time. With about 18 loads per day split between 2 stations, there would be a lot of waiting around if no truck were to fill while fuel is being unloaded. He also tells me that most large travel centers have similar volume of sales. 

While the trucks may have 4 compartments they do not deliver 4 grades of fuel.

unleaded and Super unleaded are combined at the pump to create the mid grade of gasoline fuel.

I have worked many fuel related insurance claims and this is how the stations do the fuel. 

Starbrite Startron tank cleaner!

Put nearly 250k on a 2012 Ford 6.7. With regular maintenance no problems. Like others have said, the normal maintenance is higher. I went with the Ford 7.3 this time due to change in driving patterns.

Well four pages of everyone trying to show how smart they are and nothing actually accomplished 

Are people receiving the vaccine tested before hand to see if the have the antibodies already? Seems like they should but with the hurry up and get it done, not likely!

JimK, Any one look at the carriers in those vaccines to see what was common?  You describe something similar to the onset of a cytokines storm which has killed a lot of health care workers who died from at the beginning of the pandemic.  The immune systems over react and dump huge amounts of histamines and flood body with fluid.  There are several techniques for managing the deliverance of the vaccine for highly allergic people. 

The testing excluded reactive subjects. Maybe the makers know more than you do.

Goes to show what luck coupled with skill can do.  Even in a firefight I will be happy with luck.  C'mon Big5ver you would have risked a bullet how about a vaccination. 

Yeah, we have risked a bullet, but we knew what we were facing! Seems no one wants to address that people who have reactions to some drugs should not take the vaccine.

You don't know what your are missing.😄

Getting to miss a good dose of Mercury! They safe it is “ safe” but many countries have banned it.

Seems they are saying folks who have allergic reactions should NOT take the vaccine. 
 

in the testing they specifically excluded subjects that had previous reactions 

Funny you should mention the tattoo. Just read the vaccine will contain markers to tell who has taken it. Sounds like you are part of the great conspiracy!

Thank you Doctor!
