Them showrooms are a biatch ... I try to avoid them, and those positive YT vids, especially if I respect the reviewer. As silly as it seems to us poor folks, me, I can see how rich people end up collecting a bunch of cars. 3 times with wife ... "I'm just going to peek".... "yea right" ... and 3 times upgraded cars ???? Luckily we need the extra room of the ZS for out & abouts, so all the new sedans aren't tugging at me.

Haven't a clue, as haven't researched it. Not in the market, so I don't peek at much. Unless an EV, to make myself feel good about my choices ... ???? Coincidently saw 1 the other day, as someone posted they got 18km/L, and I thought, NO way, but sure enough, it does have excellent fuel economy. Only reason I peeked. Our ZS was a real petrol hog. Knew it wasn't good, as our Mazda2 (old) got 14km/L, but the ZS @ 10/11 kp/L ... ouch. If car just for me, I may have gotten the MG EP, (CC in me) though glad we have the ZS. If on budget, Celerio has got to the winner for ICEs. I really don't fit in most cars, that bad back thingy, and doorways aren't made for me. Besides, cars are damn expensive. I thought 695k & 949k for the ZSs were silly prices. Seem to be starting points now for anything comfy. Glad I'm not shopping.

No, but I gave it a ???? ???? Budget ? though doesn't seem to be a priority with cars mentioned. @Toolong If not EV, then I saw a MG5 yesterday, very nice, and inexpensive to buy & operate (18kp/L), impressive. OP just about wrote off most cars. Hatchback ? Have a peek at MG3, or Swift, as didn't discount them yet. MG3 having more hp & torque than Swift, I think. Actually the MG ZS is quite short for being a SUV, and ICE far from expensive @ 729k, more than peppy enough for those U-turns mergers. ZS EV, even peppier, and far from expensive. MG fan, can you tell, also OP is limiting the field with ones already crossed off the list.

I'm a CC, and wear it well. Though will spend money, on me & mine, once in a while. Wife is even more a CClette, than myself, so I let her pay restaurant bills. Since working in restaurant & bar tending, I consider myself a good tipper 20% or more, since always appreciated a good tip. Wife also worked in restaurant, and she apparently gives what she received in that past life, almost zip ???? Not a flash person, but have more than enough, and for me & mine, that's enough. Although poor compared to family & peers ???? Drive family car, small house (1bdrm), non performance scooter, so no flash here. No real social circles, so nobody to impress. Her family, siblings have way more assets, so they certainly wouldn't be impressed. No neighbors to impress ... ???? And the dog, doesn't care. Being anti-social seems to be a good investment strategy ????

Effectiveness of masks ... believe your eyes. Like how he words it, (masks work) so not to get deleted.

Same as the USA's FDIC's $250k USD, That bank deposits here are covered up to ฿1 mill per person/depositor, per bank. Take into consideration, the FDIC has never been tested, and should have been back in 2008, but the bankers/shareholders got bailed out, as they, not the depositors (holding $250k or less), would have taken huge losses on the mess THEY created. Campaign financing was a great investment for them.

It really depends on the circumstance, if your recklessness/speeding is a danger to anyone. You may spook someone, but shouldn't really cause an accident. I had an incident, avoided as the other guy was paying more attention than myself, though it may not have mattered. Coming off entrance to interstate (95) in USA, on my 900cc minimal traffic and I was already cruising up to speed/speeding, moved to the fast lane, getting ready to break that land speed record, when a damn Kawi 1100 scared the sh!t out of me, when he blew by ???? I looked and didn't see anyone, as at some speeds you won't see or if not using both eyes, can't judge their speed. The basstard let me catch up to him, now both doing well over 100kph, and he cracked the throttle & took off again ???????? "buy a real scooter if you want to play with me" ???? Honda 900cc is heavy (600lbs) & built for cruising, minimal size for cruising. Kawi 1100 is built for performance. Borrowed my brother's a couple times when back in USA 2003. What a rocket, and actually too much power for me. Got to respect it, and know your limitations.

Yea, but not nearly as much as sanitizer, temp monitors, test kit, vaccine & masks salespersons.

Unvax'd and didn't wear a mask 99.99% of the time, and didn't get covid AFAIK So not being vax'd or not wearing a mask is just as affective ???? apparently. As stated above, that mask & vaccine failed so many millions.

I get full abdominal ultrasound with every check up (1-2yrs), and 1st one, 15 ish yrs ago told fatty liver. AND ... means other organs are also have some extra fat around them. Minor diet adjustment, and yes, lost weight, top out @ 100kgs, low 78kg, usually 80-83kgs now. Prostate still growing, but no mention of fatty liver past check ups. Had blood work done recently, all good except my usual high range blood sugar. Due for an ultrasound though, as not done in couple yrs. Actually think the prostrate is shrinking, or at least same size. GET the ULTRASOUND, full abdominal. It will find sh!t you want to find early, and I'd add it to your yearly check ups.

For all that money, not impressive at all. I'm sure, hope anyway, fit & finish is very nice, more comforts & options. Must be using all the energy & power for options, because it isn't going toward performance. Liking our ZS even more, for less than 1/3 the price. Might have to top up more often on the highway, and a bit slower, but that 2 mill in pocket, pays for the house & solar system. 2 stats questionable, but close enough, match or better on different sites.

Happen to see my first one today, very nice. Impression fuel economy. Our very thirsty ZS got 11 kp/L on the highway. 10 or less around town ????

That's your comeback .. thank you for confirming what I stated. all things being equal, of course one would assume more is breathed in directly from the nose & mouth but it certainly did NOT state, it won't come in through the eyes. quite the opposite. " whereas infectious particles that enter through our eyes have to take a more roundabout route" Take the expressway or the scenic route, you still end up at the same destination.

Does anyone need a credible source for that. Basic human biology. Do I need a source to confirm the sun comes up in the east & sets in the west. Eyes, tears, tear duct nasal cavity ... did you not pay attention in class. Here's a visual:

Since your eyes drain down into you nostril cavity, any covid infected droplets in your eyes, then simply bypass the mask, and are breathed in. Again, making mask without eye protection...useless.

Don't mind watering the plants, fruits/veggies, lawn & pretty flowers ... .... but the freakin 'dead' compost ????

Good, if you didn't notice. Park the car in the garage, running, close the door have seat and crack open a beer .... ENJOY.

Yes, I know. I wish people would stop trying to explain common sense things to me. It's the weather and the el nino & la nina are part of the ever change weather. Comes in waves, some long, some not so long. Just as there was a steady rise in NOAA data, and now leveling off. What's next ???? NOBDOY KNOW But the doom & gloom crowd always stop and quote the negative, forget to add, since 2014....2015 temps have leveled. And the extreme negative forecast is: ... 3.4mm ... that is so scary, don't build surfside if you plan on living more than 100 years more ... 1.5C next 100 yrs... maybe ... I don't even need to buy sunscreen for that one

???????????? OK, not really funny, as some are there from unexpected circumstance beyond their control. But with some of the rents my brother has quoted back at that foreign land I used to live, USA, it is mind boggling how some can afford to rent. Use to be 25% of income for rent, now it seems 50-75% is needed, with the rest toward utilities & petrol to get to your rut. Don't want to be on that hamster wheel. If returning to states, think I'd go upscale on the RV instead of buying a house & paying RE Taxes, and simply live in National Parks or park close by, since free for us ol' folks. Not sure what charges would be for plugging in. All solar'd up, even a nice van conversion would work. Use free showers.

I found the tent folks offer the insured value, maybe. Then compare that to what they are asking on FB Marketplace for your area, and you have a ballpark of H/L price.

If haven't already, could ring up or msg Boy Blues Bar and ask. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063491892947

And people go to CM and say they didn't notice any smog ... ... also didn't notice any hills in the distance ???? So you are one of those ... nuff said

That's what it was worth to the person buying/selling. All that matters. Every gold shop posts the daily buy/sell rate.

I'd call that old dated news, as from 2015 onward, temps have leveled off, on average. actually dipped, though not enough worth mentioning. Leveling off, on average is though. NOAA data, and we'll see what the future holds. Stay tuned, if you really care, and plan on living another 1 or 200 yrs. That 1.5 ish C seems to be on hold for now.
