@bade302b You live in a country with a really good mass transit system (I think), not the US. How has this car ever been anything but a liability? (Not meaning to push you on this, really, I just keep wondering) Why do you need two cars? My love and I have happily shared one car ever since I retired (before she did) and we Do live in the US.
@bade302b so sorry this seems to keep escalating. This was hubby's impulse purchase car, right? Maybe the mechanic could sell it for you, take it his fee, and give you the rest.
Another question of foreign relations: with Putin cozying up to Kim, doesn't that piss off Xi Jumping? Like, after all the years Xi has kept NK going with food aid etc, now Kim gets uppity. Think China could feel threatened by Kim getting modern rocket tech from Russia? China would never want to annex NK, they don't want the responsibility, but they could depose Kim and set up a nice Chinese communist puppet government, and relieve a lot of pressure on S. Korea and Japan. @randahl thoughts?
