Are you allowed to see the alien technology that we've incorporated into future aeronautics? When are we going to develop that faster-than-light capability?Just a fan.
Edit: That answer isn't fair. Without going to far into it. My job lends itself to knowing about past, current and future aircraft particularly in the military arena. That's all I can tell you.
It only takes 4 letters, oops I’ve already been replaced on the Nashville trip by joe. Does he even know that there’s gas station snacks involved? Don’t tell me you’ve given him privileges to the radio dial.Am I supposed to say that just in case we're being monitored by one of those alphabet groups? They don't scare me.

I hope one of us gets a visit from the government over this post.
I bought an XT5 through Carvana. Test drove it at delivery and had the option of declining purchase at that point. Carvana also gives you a couple weeks to return it if you aren't happy with your purchase. Best car buying experience I've ever had.The proliferation of buy-a-car-online-and-have-it-delivered services says something about this generation of 20-somethings. They’re so encounter averse that they’ll spend $30k+ on a vehicle sight unseen - no test drive, no inspection until it’s time to sign for it. “It looked good on the Internet…”
Allrighty then.
In 2019, I went to a dealership to examine and test drive the new Toyota RAV4 hybrid, then got serious about shopping for one with the features that I wanted. Delivery of these to any and all retailers was delayed due to production priorities and supply logistics. As it turned out, a dealership within 30 miles of my location was first to have a vehicle in inventory. Their price was right, but the buying experience wasn’t as favorable as you described. Despite my paying cash, I was forced to sit down with the finance guy and endure and deflect his extended warranty et al sales pitches.I bought an XT5 through Carvana.

A month later I sold my Sorento to them and got $5k more than I expected. Overall, great experience for us.
