Which I was replying to - EV's, and your posts on the subject.

Many people do just that - buy the cheapest car or pickup as possible. While remaining blissfully ignorant (there's that word again !) of what will happen down the road with their purchase. Believe all the hype, adverts published by the - Wait for it ... Manufacturers of what a rosy future YOU will have if you buy our product. Think VW diesel claims ... But it has always been so - fanatics of any stripe will not even consider any other possibility or even listen to arguments against their 'Chosen' one. Balance not in their repertoire - only zealous adherence to a creed or dogma. Fuel economy is one of the last - if not the last - consideration in my buying a vehicle of any type - 2,4,10 wheels, prop, etc

I quoted what you posted and which I wanted to reply too. Did you post that or not ? No Forum rule says I must answer all of the 'points' you raised.

So ... Those who do not find themselves as EV adopters - due to may different circumstances, are labeled as 'skeptical' or 'ignorant ? As well as those who choose a car based on different factors than the EV faithful ? Nice, well balanced, considerate opinion you have expressed. Congrats !

The RC church is poison from the top down. I posted in the Movies and TV thread of the appalling way they treated Mother Teresa - and this decision came from the very top. So if you are going to "Blame the people" and not the organization, this will not fly when the corruption permeates the place. It is all about the $$$ - look how they 'worship' with gold vessels and robes while asking illiterate peasants to give them money. Sickening.

What a bunch of Hogwash ! Want a tattoo - get one. Don't want one - don't get one.

Ha Ha Sad - and the way of the world 1. "Believe none of what you hear." More precisely, believe none of what you hear without verifying the accuracy. 2. " ... and believe half of what you see." More precisely, believe a portion of what you see and verify the rest. Use your best judgment to determine which portion to believe and which portion to verify.

Thanks

I can understand your position. Big difference between a Chinese made car and a car with Chinese made parts. Supply chain issues with MG. People been waiting 3 months for spares. Watching developments in China with regard to the real estate and housing markets make me very wary, and expect the fallout from such to effect all sectors of all the manufacturing industries as time goes on.

3 cylinder turbo - 3 to 4 million THB - no thanks

Yes I did. Unless you are very close in temperament, income or pension, life experiences - how can your experience duplicate mine ? Like all the morons who live in Pattaya or anywhere else and tell people what it is like to live in LOS. They can only tell what it is like for them in Pattaya - the rest they are clueless about

All these articles are a giant waste of time. Unless you are very like the one posting, with the same life experiences, goals, etc. And what are the chances of that ? Why would I believe someone yahoo I have never met, who just decided one day to tell the rest of the world how much he knows about a place he barely knows ? You know what they say about opinions ...

A young man asked his grandfather, "Grandpa, how did you live in the past without technology . . . without computers, without Internet connection, without TVs, without air conditioners, without cars, no cell phones?" Grandpa answered: "As your generation lives today . . . there are no prayers, there is no compassion, there is no respect, no real education, there is no personality, there is no shame at all, there is no modesty, there is no honesty. We, the people born between the years 1940-1980, were the blessed ones. Our lives are a living proof." * While playing and riding a bike, we have never worn a helmet. * Before school then we played and again after school until dusk and hardly ever watched television. * We played with real friends, not virtual friends. * If we were thirsty, we would drink tap water, or water from the hose, not mineral water. * We never worried even as we shared the same cup of juice with four friends. * We never gained weight by eating plates of pasta every day. * Nothing happened to our feet despite roaming barefoot. * We never used food supplements to stay healthy. * We used to make our own toys and play with them. * Our parents were not rich. They gave love, not stuff. * We never had a cell phone, DVD, game console, Xbox, video game, PC, internet, chat . . . but we had true friends. * We visited our friends without being invited and shared and enjoyed the food with them. Parents lived nearby to take advantage of family time. * We may have had black and white photos, but you can find colorful memories in these photos. * We are a unique and the most understanding generation, because we are the last generation that listened to their parents. And we are also the first ones who were forced to listen to their children. * We are a limited edition! Take advantage of us. Learn from us. We are a treasure destined to disappear soon.

Thanks

If people would abandon their fixation with online purchases, the brick and mortor stores will remain. Sad day when they are gone, along with the expertise the owners and staff have from their years in the business. OP asked for a "store in CM"
