I can't believe IB bought a truck and didn't give us 12 paragraphs about it. Or did he?

Everybody I know who owns a truck or SUV (and I know plenty) does not own another car, or if they do, it's their last truck or SUV that they just kept to have a spare but gets worse gas mileage than the new one they drive daily...

As I said hedge, I can't speak for North Carolina, Cincinnati, or Kentucky. I am sure you are right but we can both be right.

Most people who can afford a new truck or SUV and then actually buy a truck or SUV are generally not the type of people who worry about paying for gas. They definitely don't shell out $70K for a one and then ride around most of the time in a 20 year old Kia...

A Sunday report from Charles Bethea in The New Yorker suggested that when former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said the 2020 presidential election would be marred by mail-in ballot fraud, he was telling on himself.

According to that report, Meadows and his wife, Debbie, were left without a North Carolina residence after they sold their Sapphire home in March 2020. That September, according to the magazine, they registered to vote using a mobile home in Scaly Mountain that they didn’t own, where they didn’t live and where Meadows may never have set foot. Then, Meadows voted by mail.

At one time in my life I owned an Expedition and an F-150. Was married of course then. Loved the Expedition but that was for the kids. I drove the truck. So yeah, many families own 2 cars. The wifes is always the family car. So he drives it on weekends.

Well yeah, plenty of people may own more than one car in their name, but their wife or kids drive it. But most people don't own 2 cars and nobody else besides themselves drive them. I'd say very few people are in that situation...

Not sure about singles specifically but 24% of all American households own at least THREE cars (maybe more.)

https://policyadvice.net/insurance/insi ... ngle%20car.
About 24% of American households own 3 or more cars or other light vehicles. This includes 3.4% that own more than 5 vehicles. 33.5% own 1 car, 33.1% own 2, while there are also close to 9% of households that don’t own even a single car.


I don't think its a great leap of logic to stipulate that if your household is one of the ones that own a great-big heavy truck (or Suburban) you are probably in that 24% with 3 or more cars.

Myself, my wife, and our daughter, collectively we own eight vehicles. But we run a small business with some of them. That said, if you look at our neighborhood, everyone has a two car garage, there are two cars in it, and there is at least one more car in the driveway.

Sapphire? That's 20 minutes from me in the mountains. Selling on March 2020 was the worst time to sell. The prices have doubled since then.

Rat, I believe you are correct. If I had to guess, yes, I agree with that statement. I assume you are correct, but I don't know.

If hedge is correct that I am always wrong, then on this one thing you would be wrong. Because I assume you are correct. That said, when I was 28 and single, I owned two cars. I may have been an outlier.

When I buy my truck, I'm keeping the car. Been realizing that a third vehicle between me and my wife comes in handy because last two times my car was in the shop it took a week or two waiting for a part. And dealers don't give loaners anymore, they've sold them all. And rentals are now $100 a day.

Exactly, a lot of households are going to 3 or more cars.

"Not sure about singles specifically but 24% of all American households own at least THREE cars"

You do realize a household means more than one person in the house, right? So yeah, if there's 3 people of driving age in the household, that household probably has 3 cars. One for each person. Just admit you were wrong and let's move on...

I never said anything about commercial vehicles, that's a whole different category...

Oh you were an outlier alright, but it didn't have anything to do with cars...
