I am supposed to pick something fun to do in the Charlotte area, he is coming up hear from SC..........problem is I am not in Charlotte enough to know much about the clubs, restaurants, or fun places to go........any suggestions, nice restaurants, etc.

I have not got a clue how to "date" anymore been married for so long, LOL

Thanks In Advance

went on my first date in 20 years a few years ago. Its no biggie. Go to dinner someplace. Lots of places to choose from, depending on which side of town you're on.

Depends on how much $$ he is willing to spend...

you don't wanna pick a nice restaurant and have him be a cheap ass.

Also, I am not a very expensive date, so maybe Im not the best to give advice to, but a dinner at Brixx or Harper's and then a comedy show/putt putt/karaoke bar or somewhere equally interesting will do it for meh!

As long as there is beer involved.

Why don't you tell HIM to pick where to go for dinner and you can do the rest? You guys going out during the day or at night? Is he picking YOU up or are you meeting somewhere?

I don't like the really expensive type dates either, it will be a late evening night time date. I am meeting him at Carolina Place Mall, and we will go somewhere from there.........he said he wished there was a home game this weekend since he was going to be in town and I love the Panthers. He would take me to the game but he is a Falcons fan :( I know strike one already LOL.............

Just going to roll with it I guess.............

its a damn good thing there isn't a game....don't wanna be seen at the game with a Falcants fan. He better have a damn good personality/sense of humor!

Late night? Go somewhere swanky and laid back....like a Basil type place where you can go have some cocktails and apps and just talk for a while without anyone bothering you.

Anyone know a place like that out near CPlace? I would imagine you don't want to be driving all the way into dt Charlotte. Sounds like it should be a pretty good "get to know you" sort of thing.

If he's smart, he will go wherever you want.

Only question is where he will be staying that night;).....woooooooooooooo!

      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.
