I've seen it written that there are a million plus EVs made in China that are just sitting in fields because nobody wants them.

I have a diesel sedan in which I've gone 810 (Interstate) miles on a single tank.When I got home I stopped at a gas station near me and filled it up again in about 4 minutes. But you can't buy new diesel sedans in this country because of EnviroWackos like the ones you find at Rat Party Headquarters. Disgusting!

I recently acquired a 04 Jetta TDI. Someone actually junked it. I had to replace all the vacuum lines and pump to get it running right but I am half a tank in and it’s got 300 miles on the trip odometer.

It’s only a 14.5 gallon tank.

Best 150 dollar bomber I’ve bought :)

There are pics out there where thousands of these brand new EVs are parked in large lots with weeds, trees, dirt, bird crap etc. in China are just sitting there after several years. The local chicoms aren’t buying them either.

Hopefully that will change in the next 4 years.

My dad had a Olds Toronado with the diesel engine. A bit more effort to keep fueled and deal with "stuff" in the fuel. That was when diesel was cheaper than regular gas. At current prices, I don't see the advantage in diesel over regular gas. Dad died in Dec 2003. His Toronado sold quickly. Mom kept her Olds 98 for a couple more years, then sold it as age related macular degeneration destroyed her vision and made driving unsafe.

My 1999 F150 SuperCab returned from San Diego in Sept 2014 with 63000 miles on the odometer. It had 22500 when I purchased it used in 2003. Current odometer is just over 64000 miles. Lots of life left in the old truck. The 5.4L V8 is a good engine.
