      Hey Scotty I had a question I don't know if you read through the comments or not but I'll give it a shot. I got a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8 T 5-speed manual, it's got about 117,000 Mi on it, only paid $2,900 for it and the car is really really clean as I'm from Buffalo New York so you know about the salt and the snow main reason for the prices it's a manual everyone wants an automatic, my question is what are your thoughts on the 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SE 5-speed manual 1.8 L Turbo

    I knew a guy back in high school who owned a Fiat X 1/9. They were very underpowered and slow but at least it was a fun car. They weren't particularly hard to work on but getting parts for them could be a problem. Now Fiats are not only underpowered and slow but they aren't fun to drive, they are a pain to work on, and you still can't get parts for them.

    I have one Fiat Stilo from 2003, 5 doors, so going on 21years, very cheap maintenance, in very good condition. Sure I have a garage and I took very good care of it, but still I would not call it crap, the most economical and durable and reliable car I ever had. Not always the most expensive is the most reliable and durable, that is a myth.

      Really? My Tesla y has 25k mi and I just replaced the originals for a better brand. But the “old” ones are in very good shape, could easily do another 10k. Then again I don’t drive like a maniac. Depends on the tire. Not cheap but you can easily find better deals if you take the time to do shop around. People get caught up w what’s wrong w EVs based on what they hear or read but most couldn’t tell you the differences between the brands. That’s like saying a Ford is the equivalent of a Toyota just because they’re both vehicles. Some EVs are crap, and some are not.

    Fiat's main market is overseas and not in the U.S. They bought Chrysler for their technology to meet U.S. emissions standards and reopen a new market for them. Fiat pulled out of the U.S. market because of government mandated emissions standards which costs them a ton of money.
    Most emissions comes from volcanic activity and very little, if I remember correctly less than 2%, is man made.

    My next car will probably be a kit car anyway. All the ones they’re shoving down our throats now have way too much tech in them. Every car is trying to drive you and cost way too much. Most of these cars shouldn’t be more than $15000.
    Plus what are your options now? Either a self driving car with expensive features you’ll never use, or an electric version of that? All I need is 4 wheels and a seat. Something that won’t kill Me.

    Fiat 500’s sell in Europe because the roads, in towns, are 1/3 the size of ours and we have states bigger than many of their countries so long distance travel by car is not a thing. And their rail system beats ours all to hell. Plus the price of gas, ooopps, sorry, petrol / diesel is outrageous.

    If everyone switched to electric cars, what would we do with all the gasoline? We will still be refining oil, for kerosene, plastic, wax for candles, ect. Before the car was invented and we just needed kerosene for lighting they would dump the gasoline into the water ways. The great lakes used to catch on fire.

    The stories I could tell you about solar energy and the battery packs would take a lot of typing. I used to work for the solar customer service department at the largest publicly traded utility in California. Prices have come down since then, but like Scotty said, the systems degrade with time and need to be replaced in no more than 20 years, with batteries around 10 years. If it weren’t for tac credits, these systems would be even more expensive. Granted, the oil industry gets a lot of tax breaks, but does that equate to savings to the consumer? No.

    For fun, back in the 80's I designed a solar charged car, that you did a battery swap everyday with a pallet jack. The auto was the size of a Tesla "Sportster". It would be great for a young man with a good back. Keep a bank of flat batteries charging at home, and then swap out the one you used that day in about 10 minutes.

    1. Direct DC charging does not require AC.
    2. Sun energy is still 80% even with heavy cloud cover.
    3. In 2022, solar power accounted for an estimated 10.7% of electricity in Germany. An increase from 1.9% in 2010.
    4. Solar panels typically last around 25 to 30 years. Many continue to function even after 30 years or more. Most reputable manufacturers offer production warranties for 25 years or more.
