Just be sure to get the update so it doesn't burn your house down!
The bolt has somewhat interested me, but gm seems to always find a way to muck vehicles up...

Bolt is an excellent car with terrible seats.

Two important questions though. Can you see the brake pads? How fast is the refresh rate on the speedo?

3, do you need to drive on the freeways, as this car is not good at merging and will likely get the driver killed. Base Corolla will merge better.

I hope its an inside joke. I have my eye on the new bolt's coming out but I want to see what Kia and Hyundai bring because they still have the 7500$ tax credit and CA still has there rebates. I wish the government would bring back the 7500$ credit for all manufactures. If that happens and I could get a decent car for 25,000-30,000k I would jump on one now.

Ya it took me 45 minutes to get a big enough opening to get onto the 401 today. Thank god for the reduced traffic or could still be there. Two Geo Metros and a Lada had to go around me.

You need to learn how to use your gears. Drop it down into first for maximum powah. Nice thing about doing that is it bypasses that pesky factory rev limiter that Toyota only enabled to keep this car from beating Supras.

The mileages work within ranges not by the mile.

In April I bought the last, new, 2020 manual transmission 86 in either Washington or Oregon. I paid $25,738 (TrueCar price) for basically the last one anywhere near me that was new. At the same time I saw several Autotrader/CL ads for used 2020s with 900-1500 miles on them for $28k and up.

Took my car in to the local for service on Friday. They told me they have several people looking for one and offered me $2,000 over what I paid for it on trade in on anything they had on the lot (including a Supra). Now normally I figure these "we need your trade in right now" ploys are sort of scammy but this time I truly walked away with the impression that they really did want my trade in right now!
So much for the horrible depreciation everybody was screaming about 5 years ago.

I posted it on the Camaro forum for $57.5k with some spare parts and it was sold in 12 hours. No haggling. It was thousands cheaper than the other ones out there. Guy fly in, gave me the money, drove home. Took 60 minutes including the time driving him back from the airport. Sadly that's the ONLY private car sell that has ever gone that smoothly, normally I trade now because the $ is less important to me than my time and frustration level dealing with low balling jackoffs. Another buddy sold his 2017 Civic Type R for basically new MSRP to them as well. He bought the car at MSRP which is what any smart buyer of those cars will do (it did take him about 6 hours to find one at MSRP back in the day so that is some effort I guess) which carvana ended up selling at a 3-4k loss (forget exactly what the final number was). That's also when he realized that Honda techline is run by morons and almost had to lemon law the car because honda sucks these days. And yeah it's a bad time to buy for sure... I replaced the Camaro with a 2005 TSX that I bought from a buddy in Chicago for his carmax offer price and it included beer in the trunk lol - New car (well truck) will arrive eventually............................
