It's impossible to argue with Raza. He wins. Period. End of discussion.

YES.

My nana has a Regal Presidential edition with the SERIES II 3800.  She's legally blind and can't drive anymore.  REGAL has 68,000 miles on it.  Camino could buy that.  Or Nick.

Dude those 3800s are gems.  Torquey, smooth, and great highway mileage.

Oh man, I don't know if I can even afford such a high end luxury car.

Agreed - anyone looking for a used 'Murican barge could do worse than a LaCrosse with the 3800

Great choice in car.  Do you have free charging at work?

Yup. That's how it made sense, since I'm still in an apartment and the landlord didn't want me to charge there since the only outlets outside would be billed to the owner not us. But I can charge once a week at work and be good to go. And the local library has a free level 2 public charger and is only a couple blocks away (easy walking/longboarding distance) in case I need to charge over the weekend.

Next year we'll probably move to a house or townhouse with a garage and be able to charge at home too.

Good idea.  My main justification for the Bolt as well.  With my Volt, I would still have to charge at home, but the Bolt, I only need to charge every day at work.  I don't need to but just because I can.  I have forgotten a couple days in a row but was still to get to work without charging.

There are 4 charging cables at my office and probably 6-7 cars that are using them now. But people seem to be getting good at moving their car once it's charged, so if you don't get there early enough to grab a charger in the morning there's usually spots open around lunch time.

That is pretty handy. Basically like free gas.  :lol:

Just get a roof rack and mount a couple of 4x8 sheets of plywood on top. Cover them with the most expensive and fancy solar panels. Perpetual motion.

Wait, so that makes a total of three Bolts on CarSPIN?

Is the Bolt the most commonly owned car model on CarSPIN...?  :hmm:
