The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

We were considering buying a used LEAF after Scotty the youtube car guy said they were a fun car and pretty cheap. But the best price we could find was $10,000 for a 2017.
That was too much for a toy runabout.
Also, 4 owners in 4 years. Huh? Why?

For us, shopping is 32 miles south or 34 miles east. Round trip 64-68 miles. Plus whatever miles from store to store in town. 70 mile range wouldn't cut it. Even 90 mile range would be nail-biting.

I wonder how much range would get cut with running the AC or heat. AC is the big one, it regularly gets to 90-100 degrees in the summer.

We could get a used Mini for $12,000-$13,000. That's another fun toy runabout.
