Patricia, I had no idea you were a crazy cat lady. I thought you were just a crazy Honda girl.

Ford & EV Sales – They are scaling back a lithium battery plant project under development just a ½ hour from us by $1B and the state is cutting back its assistance. Ford is believed to have lost $3B on last year’s EV sales and sales for the first quarter fell by 15% from a year earlier. Whom ever wins this year’s Presidential election will also be a huge factor going forward. Meanwhile the approach Toyota and Honda have taken to go slow with any transition is really paying off compared to Detroit.

Has any tried to buy a timing light recently? It seems they are all crap these days with 10% or so failing within a few uses. I need one and its frustrating.

Even brand name ones like Snap On? Yeah look what I’m asking most new tools now aren’t what they used to be. Dave I would check out swap meets or flea markets things of that nature and try to find an old Sun or Craftsman timing light. You could probably find one on E-bay but personally I would want to check a tool like a timing light out in person rather than buying it on good faith.

I've got an old school one that seems to work well and I used it for years. I'd send it to you Dave if I can dig it up from my garage.

VW is investing billions in a battery plant by my home , I can't see it doing all that well either. The EV VW assembly plants in Germany have been scaling back big time as sales have been slower than expected in Europe.
I won an EV for free and I didn't even want to keep it. Things were pushed way to fast IMO

I can't remember the number but Ford was losing a huge amount for each EV sold, like $40,000 ? Whatever the number was just sounded like a bad investment plant.
