18+ years ... I think it's working. But I do have to disagree with you, as my philosophy, is, the wife has to keep me happy also, it mutual. The first 3 failed miserably. Nothing worse than not being appreciated ... bye bye bi-atches .... NEXT

Suspect legacy auto / pick up truck makers here in TH, are going to get hit hard 2025 & 2026, as BEV trucks hit the market. Sales declines way beyond a simple downward economy slump. Those looking to replace or buy new will enjoy the savings & performance, of the feature packed BEVs hitting the market soon. Auto shows end of 2024 & early 2025 will give a better picture of their future. If they can keep the price at ฿1M mark or less, then it's going to take a big chunk of their (ICEV) pick up truck market share the next 2 years. That's a huge % of market/profits for the legacy pick up truck makers. Thais love their trucks ... I'm even thinking about one

liking the reference ... Michael Doughs & Stevie 👍

No surprise, and how many politicians become millionaires, if not billionaires. Rules for us, simply don't apply to them. Another way they do it, after in office and catering to who ever needs bailing out, then getting speaking fees after out of office. Clintons & Obamas are a clear example of that. Bail out Wall St, then they pay you to talk ... not a bad gig

Just meat seems to work ...

Geez ... just changing the 'delivery vendor' just jacked up the price of anything. DHL vs Thai Post ... Tax dollars at work. Thankfully don't need them for anything till Oct 2032, for new PP.

Don't know where that tidbit is from, but I disagree. Mine has moved down with adjusted diet, weight loss, the past decade, more so last 5 yrs, and just past year, with major adjustment. Highs of about 145/95 at rest, in the past. Now quite normal at rest 120/80 or lower (both #s) and knocking on 70 yrs old. HR fairly constant 60+/- at rest, over the decades past & now.

Paradise would look something like this .... ... I'm healthy ... dog is healthy ... daughter is healthy ... wife is healthy ... living in custom built house, without immediate neighbors ... have toys to play with ... independent of govt ... house solar ESS topped up ... BEV car topped up ... E-MC topped up ... Ebike topped up ... live a few minutes from the surf ... live a few minutes from the hills ... retired, don't have a schedule, and don't need to be anywhere at anytime OH WAIT ... i'm in paradise already

Jan 2021 .... average petrol price $2.41 Sept 2024 ... $3.24 actually coming down from $3,80+ Medium housing cost Q4 2020 ... #338.6k Medium housing cost Q2 2024 ... $412.3k Inflation during Trump & Biden ... well, fake inflation used for SS COLA ...

Finally, a break in overcast skies. Ebike charged up the other day, as takes very little. Car has been charging since 0730 hrs, and a bit before producing enough for just the house. But sunny skies all day, contrary to weather report. Just got back from the park for morning walk, and E-MC is Q'd up to charge, as car should be done within the hour, if not already. Beats making a special trip to the PTT station for petrol, as it's not on the way to anything we go to. Involves a special trip, indirectly with extra kms to get to/from. Along with no Q'ing up waiting ... and best ... paying for fuel/energy. 🌞 🌞 🌞 🌞 🌞

Neither unite nor divide, but simply make a lovely country that was once nice to live in, too expensive to enjoy life if making less than $50,000 a year. Just a continuing downward spiral of economical decline & depression for people wanting and never achieving any version of the 'American Dream' Just trying to stay one step ahead of public assistance to put food on the table, which 40+ million are failing to do already. 2024 .... HARRIS .... 2024

I'm a shady person, so no worries for me ... 😎 YMMV DISCLAIMER: INFO ON CHART CHANGED BY ME FOR COMIC RELIEF SOURCE

I don't know or read/heard of anyone that had to submit paperwork for the subsidy. I'm guessing one of the papers signed at dealer during the purchase may have been that form. They handled it for us. Different from the excise rebate, back in 2012 ish, when the customer had to file for their 60-100k baht rebate. I'm pretty sure our paperwork had the MSRP ฿1,189,000, then ฿240k in their somewhere for final price of ฿949k. Promo when we purchased ... Also why the total loss insured appraisal was ฿960k, as based on the MSRP. Even now the insured value is ฿840k, and a new ZS is ฿829k

Actually they do ... though some will define and call them differently. PHEV in my dictionary is definitely a hybrid, since it can operate on two different systems. HEV ... not so much, in my mind, as it can not operate on it's own, just the battery, well, not very far, since so small. #2 ... combining 2 things

Eating what, when & how, along with moderation of some food items, though not so much this sandwich, and healthy enough. Smoked Ham, Chorizo, Provolone, lettuce for color ... 😎 Croissant, just OK by itself, better with protein. Could even minimize the spike with a walk

Online vendor (free delivery ??) CM ??? at least it's in country. google may help

As does every doc, virologist & medical expert that speaks the truth.

Buy me food & beer at the night market, and I'll talk to all night. Though no guarantees after the 3rd or 4th large beer, you'll want to talk to me, or even understand me ... 🍺

Egg H&C Sandwich w/side of eggs

Puppy dog my ass ... ... E-bike = Babe Magnet 😎

The subsidies are already in the price you paid, and they will vary, as manufacturer has the discretion to pass on as much or little to the consumer as they want. Most are at least 100k, and up. We actually got 240k knocked off our MG ZS, and they still give that much discount off the MSRP. Not sure if MG got 240k from the govt, but that's what the price showed.
