My Earth Day Celebration -- maybe not.
Yesterday, April 21, 2022 The day before Earth Day, like so many people out there I filled my car up with regular grade gas. It cost an astounding $90.23—I have never seen those numbers at the pump. Now of course in New Hampshire the prices aren’t nutty like in California. But I mean. Wow. But that was OK because my long awaited is coming today April 22, 2022—on Earth Day. A Tesla Model S which I ordered last July. Just like gas prices my Tesla went up in value $18,000 with a $100 order fee. Fortunately my negotiated price did not go up like the price at the pump. You see I am in Real Estate. I drive everywhere. I easily put on 30,000-40,000 miles on my cars in a year. With a focus on waterfront homes I criss cross the state’s 1300 lakes. I collect lakes living vicariously through my buyers and sellers. Fortunately I am from Michigan, where cars are a life. I love cars and driving. And every mile I enjoy in a good car. Now the only reason I need to go to the gas station is to pick up a snack or two, maybe 3. I have nothing but old cars A 2004 Silverado that cost me what I paid for it in repairs every year—but eventually be a new truck with all new parts. I sold my 2012 Honda Cross Tour with 200,000 miles on it. Then a 1994 Miata which became an “antique” the same year I officially became an “antique” in the eye of all those stores who give “senior discounts”
