Someone else noticing this. Now they are bought by Jeep Rubicon man bun dudes who drive them like the snap crackle pop BMW M4 they traded it in for.

Lmao, remember when a BMW model ending with 28i was actually cool? It's like it was a dream.

Not meant as an insult. More of a humorous illustration of why the younger generations get exasperated and poke fun at boomers.
From that previously linked definition:
“ OK boomer can be used online to write off, usually to a humorous or mildly mocking effect, opinions that are perceived as emblematic of attitudes of boomers and older people more generally. These attitudes include a resistance to technological change, inclusivity of marginalized identities, denial or inaction on climate change, and a belief that the problems of youth are due to their laziness or entitlement as opposed to structural inequalities and a lack of opportunity.”

At 72 YO I certainly fall in that group that gets the OK Boomer dismissal. It ticks me off to no end but then I consider the source. They don't have enough time on the planet yet to have gained life skills or reality. They probably won't like it when that sets in and wonder WTF happened.
I do own a Corvette and as a matter of fact it is a gas guzzling Z06. I bought my first Corvette in 1969 when I was 20 and have owned them whenever it fit with my life at the time so certainly not a midlife thing for me. I actually think owning a jacked up big tire with all the offroad gear 4Runner is more of a compensation type vehicle, but we do get nasty weather in Iowa's Winters so I justify it that way. Also my gas guzzling Corvette gets better real world gas mileage than the 4R. LOL!

No, it's not a shill fallacy, it's just you not listening to instructions or having any sort of regard for rules even after being told otherwise.
Take your political crap elsewhere.

In case you forgot, we had two prominent members get banned recently (Mutant and Jetboy) for refusing to obey forum rules.
Please, test it more.

Agreed, and thanks for posting. At 62, I'm a few years short of being an actual boomer, but you're correct about time on the planet. I've learned more real and difficult life lessons since 45 than I ever did before that. Life's pains and trials have a way of teaching you if you let them. While "Ok, boomer" may be dismissed as being done 'just in fun' by the speaker, it dismisses the life lessons those people have the scars from.

It's simple as that.

And now for the money
Let's get back on topic:
2 charges a day
$200 per charge
6 days a week
50 weeks a year
$120,000
Decent for a couple hours of work a day
If you charged $300 per charge or did 3 charges per day
$180,000
Looking good

Why do you always think it's your job tell people what to do?

You were told by site admin to stop.
I'm reminding you of what you as a supposed adult should already be doing, since you yourself have refused to obey site rules.

Not a bad idea in that shitty east coast winter weather. Current batteries to get capacity reduced in those temps. A better idea is to get a heavy vehicle, two winches, winter tires, and pull people out of ditches and sides of roads.
