Interesting; > Not only is space an issue in dealer lots, but so is the value of a used and formerly leased vehicle. Currently, the wholesale value of a used car is the lowest it has been in years. If a customer returns a vehicle now, the dealer—or automaker—will likely take a bigger loss than expected since the value of used vehicles is down. Yet, if the customer holds onto the lease for longer, the value could rise again, and losses could lessen. > **[Some Dealers Aren’t Letting Customers Return Leased Vehicles](https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a32289818/car-lease-returns-problems/)** > > As customers have vehicle leases expire, some are having trouble returning the cars to dealers during the pandemic, USA Today reported. ---

In case of paywall; > Despite the fall in traffic—as much as 90% in San Francisco, for example—officials of the California Highway Patrol say they issued 2,493 citations statewide for driving more than 100 miles an hour between March 19 when the state’s stay-at-home order began and April 19—or 1,158 more than the number issued over the same period last year. > > One offender was clocked going more than 150 miles an hour, said Officer John Fransen, a CHP spokesman in Vallejo, Calif. “Maybe they feel like the road is more open, but we’re out there,” he said. > > Near-deserted roadways have become an enticing racing attraction.

You know what I really don’t like? When I’m out, wearing a mask because Cuomo, and people star at me like I’m the worst person ever because I’m not just buying “essentials” during my super duper risky “outting.” Like, I went to Target for dog food and treats but while I’m there I’m going to look at hot wheels cars…oh my god the looks that I recieved…you’d think I was a black face nazi. I hate this “guilt” about trying to live somewhat of a normal existence during this whole fucking bullshit. My dad’s bday was yesterday so I dropped off a smoker that we all bought for him and wouldn’t you know, a few Karen cunts that he was friends with from his old job comment, “your son went to Lowes to get this?” “He should’ve just had it shipped and not risked going out” Fucking cunts. ---
