Things that make you smile :)

Blue Cruise in my '25 Expedition was cool, but turned it off and let the trial subscription expire. $50/month and really can't get much use around here. Adaptive Cruise Control is sufficient.
I see my wife using about 25% of the tech that's available in the new car. Retirement plus a new car with one big screen will turn reality upside down.
 
19 years, with only oil changes, brakes, tires, batteries (and a roll of duct tape holding half the car together.) Never even had to replace a light bulb. Less than $3000 in repair bills and sold for $450. Bonus payment of $2000 when someone sideswiped it last year and their insurance company sent us a check. The only wasted money was the extended warranty we never used.

How many miles?

I'll have to check with my son. Not a lot. It was my wife's when she commuted into the city so it just sat in the driveway, then my son has had it in Pittsburgh and he works remotel. Most of his use is just around town so short drives. I'm guessing about 120k. He's inheriting my wife's 2017 X3 that just hit 53k. It looks like new, but that is about to change due to where he parks.
 
never heard of wang ho zi the monkey king, only hanuman the monkey king.
Funny, wonder how many monkey kings there are?

Oh cool. Wonder if they have some common origin.

Monkey King and his companions are credited with traveling to India and bringing Buddhism to China. He’s a hugely popular character in Chinese culture.

Look up Journey to the West movies there are many. The Stephen Chow versions are pretty popular but my favorite is with Donny Yen. The literary historians think the Chinese novel originated from the Hindu monkey king.
