You got jokes.
Love like a river
unwatered goes dry
Un-nourished too long
and it’s left to die
No later rain
that soaks the earth
can truly replace
what once had worth
Love unlike a river is formed from sentient feelings, as such it comes with memories that cannot be dried up. True love is forever, it does not need a presence to be renewed. The newness is in the awakening of the memories. Of course, time has a way of allowing one to move on in the event of death or irreconocible circumstances, but if that is not your case, then have faith in the power of true love.
Ha! Love laughed in my face, turned her back and moved on

What is bad about Tesla cars?
I sold my Model S after driving it for 15 months. I loved the car. It was by far my favorite car I’d ever owned, and, truth be told, there are a lot of things I miss about it.
But some things weren’t great:
The interior was a bit too spartan for my taste. The technology was great but for a car that cost as much as it did, I felt that the interior should have been more upscale.
The self-presenting door handles didn’t always work smoothly. This would have been fine if there had been an easy way to access the door handle. But when the car is suppose to sense your key fob and present its door handles to you, it becomes annoying if you find yourself fumbling with the door every time you want to get in.
“Full Self Driving” is false advertising. I hope there’s a class action lawsuit. The car can do a lot of things autonomously (it’s nice to have your car drive itself during a traffic jam, for instance), but it’s not fully self-driving, not by a long shot.
I lived 100 miles from the nearest service center. It didn’t seem like a big deal at the time of the purchase, since I got the car on the understanding that transportation to the service center would be covered if needed. But when it turned out that a design flaw lead to a commonly-experienced radiator leak, I was told that the issue was not warrantable. I had to pay $1,000 to have the car towed to a service center. I was not amused.
Dreaded coolant leak from debris
Well it finally happened to me. Hit some debris at night on the highway. Didn’t even see what I hit. 25 miles from home. About 10 miles from home car went…

That was a deal-breaker for me. I paid to fix the car and immediately sold it on Shift. Because we live in crazy times, I actually sold it for a profit, even accounting for the cost of towing and fixing the car.
I sat on the sidelines for several months. The car I really wanted was the Lucid Air, but it would have given me the same problem as the Tesla except worse, since the nearest service center would be about 300 miles away. So I ended up going with the Mercedes EQS. The interior is much, much nicer than the Tesla, but I’m not nearly as in love with the technology. Oh well, you can’t have everything. This is the firstest of first world problems.
Or somebody’s reason to frown.
