There have been regular signs of getting rid of their gas car. Their cras have shown up between her first car which she had painted all kinds of things all over and I think someone bought it for that. At one point I think they had two cars and one was a hybrid but they got the electric used and I think the subaru was the family thing but they don’t need all the things they did with a baby and toddler as opposed to I think one coming out of toddlerhood and the other going to young adult. I guess the big question is will they go for a used electric like before or a new one or just stop having two cars. I think were they live does not need a car as much so its possible they can go univehicle. I mean the comic suggests they use it so little the battery got to low.

    Yes, it will try to find a satellite that doesn’t exist every 60 seconds, draining the battery. My mom has one of the affected models and got two battery replacements in one year before they “figured it out” and disabled the modem

    I think it was related to OnStar or something. Whatever service it was for, she wasn’t even subscribed
