Well friends, I probably won't be on as much anymore here shortly. Luckily, thank God, thank Wife, I got hired on at Goodyear here in the town I live. I will be a tire builder. They tell me with my college degree it won't be long before I move into management. Let's hope. I don't really care one way or the other. I'm just pumped to be getting into such a great job.

The pay is 28 an hour, time and a half for OT and triple pay for holidays and a man can have as much OT as he wants.

Some of you know I work for the family business currently. With the wars, we've been negatively affected and it's been a strain. I started hunting around and have been trying to get on at Goodyear for 7 months. They finally called and I passed all the tests and background.

I just wanted to share my excitement with the people I've spent years with. Thanks for everything guys. I'll check in from time to time but I start on the 2nd so my posting won't be during shift obviously.

Goodyear Racing. :D:)

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
