The thing about the fires is that it seems like the firefighters are not really putting them out. They're just supervising and suppressing them a bit while they burn themselves out. That's why I mentioned above about a large battery facility catching fire. That would burn for a very long time.

As for the Hummer tail lights, that reminds me of when I had my wifes Boxster in for service once and I was looking at the $445.000 Porsche GT in the showroom. The salesman was telling me how great the brakes were. I think they have ceramic rotors. Anyway, he said a brake job on the car cost $40,000!!! LOL.

If you can afford a 150K Hummer EV fully equipped, a 6K taillight is no big deal. Your insurance company will be paying for it in an accident and the warranty will cover it for 3 years, I guess. People just pay for this stuff and don't really seem to care. I put $4500.00 worth of 4 shocks on a Lexus LS460 F Sport AWD. Only available from the dealer for AWD and the customer didn't say a thing. Put a $1600.00 HID headlight module in a 5 series BMW. Again, no big deal to these high rollers. Needed to replace a drivers door handle on a BMW X5 last winter. By the time I had the handle painted and the parts bought it was a 1300.00 repair. I drive a $500.00 Dodge Neon as a daily driver. It's a pile of crap that gets me everywhere I need to go. Most people have other ideas of what they NEED!

You have the best Neon to ever go down a production line. I am pretty sure its the last one running in the state of Ohio.
