I'm considering buy a hail-damaged car that may have a salvage title or, in Wisconsin, there's a specific Hail Damaged title which I think does not require inspection.
However one important piece is access to OnStar / GM / SuperCruise.
Does anyone have experience with what GM does to salvage title cars regarding their connected services like OnStar / SuperCruise? Do they disable it?
From what I understand GM leased many many equinoxes in maybe 2024 or 2025. I’m guessing many of those are two or three years. Since most seemed to have a high residual on them, nobody is going to buy them and they’ll just turn them in.
So when do we think this large number of lease returns is going to happen pushing the price down even further for used off lease?
I realize I sound like a crazy Boomer (am not) recounting some non-existent time of glory so this is sort of a rant.
But why is it that recently (10-20 years) the finer the dining, the rarer the meat?
Regardless, it seems, of how we order our meat, we get somewhere between blue and rare.
It's gotten to the point where I don't order grilled / pan cooked red meat anymore.
I used to like duck breast (arguably red meat) and swear that I used to get it cooked. Now every time I have ordered it, it's almost inedibly rare. Medium steak? Rare. Pork? Rare.
If I wanted uncooked meat, I could just grab a steak from the grocery cooler, throw some salt on it and gnaw.
Is this a style? Are kitchens overworked? Are cooks just unable to correctly cook meat?
