The Call (Part 5)

The Call (part 1)

The Call (Part 2)

The Call (Part 3)

The Call (Part 4)

Richard watched out the window as New York faded into the darkness. He looked down at your sleeping form nestled against him. He grinned and played with your hair. He was tired, but not enough to sleep. He knew this flight was going to be a short one, so he pulled out his phone and flagged down a stewardess. “Could you grab my bag out from under the seat? I don’t want to wake this one up.” he said quietly indicating to you asleep against him.

She smiled and nodded. She pulled out his bag and handed it to him. He dug his headphones out of the front pocket and then asked if she would put it back under the seat for him. She nodded and did so. “Anything else for you, Sir?” she asked. He ordered a drink and paid her for it and she came back a few minutes later with it in her hand. She lowered the tray for him and set it in the drink holder. He smiled and nodded his thanks as he listened to an audio book.

Richard sipped on his drink while he watched you sleep and listened to the audio book. It was poetry he was listening to and he grinned at how appropriate one of the poems was for how he felt about you. He made a mental note to write it down later.

Soon enough the pilot announced that you’d be landing in Minneapolis soon. He mentioned the time and Richard woke you up and pulled his watch off his wrist to re-set the time on it so it was for this timezone. Then he put it back on his wrist and chuckled as you sat there all bleary eyed and yawned. You looked at him sleepily and he thought you just looked adorable. Messy hair and all. He reached out and smoothed one of your braids that had been resting against his shoulder.

You rubbed your eyes and asked, “What time is it?” Richard grinned. “It’s around 9:30pm, Love. Come on, lets get ready to de-board and then we can go find our hotel rooms and you can go back to sleep.” he tells you.

You yawn again and he chuckles. Once the plane stopped in the terminal and you were given the go ahead to depart, the two of you quickly grabbed your bags and left the plane. You carried both yours and Richard’s backpacks, and he pulled both yours and his carry on suitcases behind him.

“What hotel are we at?” you ask him as he moves off to one side of the terminal. He texts his assistant and she sends him the hotel info with a smiley face afterward. “Element Bloomington Mall of America- room 701 - studio: 1 room, 2 queen beds. figured you both were adult enough to handle it. Have fun! ;) “

He chuckles and shows you what she sent. You rubbed your face and groaned. “Well, at least there’s beds to sleep in.” you say with a yawn. “Lead on, oh chivalrous knight...” you tease him. He laughs and raises an eyebrow at you. You just grin and follow him as he heads over to a desk to ask about getting a shuttle to the hotel.

Soon enough the shuttle arrives and takes you two and your luggage to the hotel. You are given the keys and head up to the room. You get in the room and look around. “Which one do you want?” Rich asks you. You look and grab the one furthest from the window and plop your backpack on it. You plop his on the other bed. He grins and hands you your suitcase. You lift it up onto the bed and unzip it. You dig around and find a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt and dig out your toothbrush and toothpaste from your toiletries bag. You take your stuff and head for the bathroom to change and get ready for bed.

Richard plops down on the sofa and takes out his phone. He texts the director letting him know you two made it to Minneapolis and are heading out in the morning to fly to Duluth then drive to meet her lawyer in some small town near the cabin.

The director calls and they talk for a little bit. He fills Richard in on how things are going for filming and the plans for getting him caught up with the scenes. He asks how you’re doing and tells Richard how many of the cast and crew are planning to attend the funeral once the date is set. Richard makes a note of it in his phone and then thanks the director for calling. You come out of the bathroom right as he was hanging up. Rich looks up at you and grins.

He comes up to you and grins. “Everyone on set says to tell you “HI” and i’m supposed to give you a hug from them.” he tells you. You grin and he gives you a big hug. Then you look up at him and he chuckles. “What?” You ask. “You got a little something on your lip...” he says as he wipes off some toothpaste you missed. “...there. That’s better.” he says grinning at your beet red face. He chuckles and says he’s going to go get ready for bed too. Then goes to rinse off the toothpaste from his finger and comes back out to get his toothbrush and toothpaste as well as his pyjamas. He heads into the bathroom and you plop down on the bed and immediately fall asleep.

Richard comes back out and finds you passed out on top of the bed and sheets. He laughs and goes to turn back the sheets on his bed. He picks you up and you snuggle into his neck. He lays you down in his bed so he can pull back the covers on yours.

Once he gets your bed turned down, he turns to pick you up and you’re curled up snuggling his pillow. He chuckles and picks you up and puts you in your bed, pillow and all. He covers you up and kisses your forehead good night and snags a pillow from your bed since you snuggled one of his.

He heads to bed and sets the alarm on his phone for 6am. Your flight to Duluth was for 10:40am and he wanted to be sure you two had time for a decent breakfast.

He fell asleep listening to your breathing and had a smile on his face.

*********

The next morning you two took turns showering and getting ready in the bathroom. He still is amazed at how well you clean up and how pretty you look when you make an effort to dress up. You were in a dark skirt with a black camisole and hunter green light weight sweater. You wore silver jewelry and a pretty necklace with an emerald hanging down off a dainty chain.

He suddenly realized you usually just wore jeans and a t-shirt or sweatshirt with messy hair bun or ponytail and no makeup or jewelry when you were on set. Then he remembered what you had said about not trying to attract men after being hurt and raped. He wondered if you were dressing up for him or if it was for another reason. He pondered the thought throughout the morning.

The two of you packed your stuff back into your suitcases and headed down to breakfast. Then the shuttle van took you both back to the airport and the two of you were off to Duluth.

You arrived in Duluth at around 11:30am. You two quickly found the rental company where Richard’s assistant had reserved an AWD SUV for you to use while there. Richard paid for the rental and they directed you to where to go to pick it up. You two loaded your luggage and he tosses you the keys since you know where to go.

You get in and head out. Richard asks you what the plans are for the day and you tell him that you are to meet with the lawyer, Allen, for a late lunch. You tell Richard it will take about an hour and 40 minutes to get to Deer River.

He looks out at the spring landscape as you drive. The trees were just starting to bud and there were a few spring flowers in bloom. You drove through several small towns and he was surprised at the landscape and the numerous lakes and ponds you drove past. You tell him that Minnesota is known as the land of 10,000 lakes and that most of them were formed from receding glaciers melting and dropping off huge chunks of ice that melted and formed the lakes he is seeing.

He asks you how you’re holding up. You glance at him and then back to the highway. You sigh and say, “I’m not sure. I guess it will hit me when we have to go id the bodies...” you frown, “to be honest, I’m not looking forward to these next few days. But I’m glad you came with me.” you tell him.

He holds your right hand as you steer with your left. You spot some deer along the side of the road and slow down. “Look!” you tell him and point to the deer. They look up and start heading for the road. You really slow down and they keep coming and make a mad dash across.”

Richard watches in amazement. “Good thing you spotted them and slowed down!” he said. You nodded. “Oh, I’ve had my fair share of run-ins with them. They only have three thought processes... ‘Forage, forage, forage...chew, chew, chew.... or buddy? (when they’re running),” you tell him. He laughs.

“It sounds funny now, but not when you hit one standing in the middle of the road or trying to run across it when you’re going 55 miles per hour. It can total a car in a second, and if the hooves hit the windshield, it can kill whoever is in the front seats!” Richard looks at you and stops laughing. “Oh, Wow!’ he says.

Richard helps you keep an eye out for deer after that. You even see a Moose and her calf and slow down to let them cross the highway. You both laugh at the calf as it appears to never have crossed a road before and doesn’t seem to like the feel of it on its hooves as it walks funny as it crosses.

Soon enough you pull into Deer River and head for the ‘Outpost Bar and Grill’. You enter and Richard is looking around at the interior decorated like a hunting lodge with wooden log furniture and taxidermied animals. You find Allen, your family’s lawyer and he greets you and gives you a big hug. You introduce him to Richard and he grins.

“You played John Thornton in North and South, did you not?” he asks. Richard grins and nods, “Yes sir, I did.” Allen chuckles. “My wife loves that show. Made me buy it for her on DVD for Christmas last year.” he says with a grin. “Don’t worry, though, I won’t tell her you’re around.” he teases. Richard just chuckles and looks around admiring the interior of the bar.

“Can I get you anything?” The waitress asks as you three sit down at one of the larger tables. “Just some water for me, Masey.” Allen says. You look at the menu and order a Coke and cheese burger with fries. Richard orders a pot of Coffee and a BLT. “Masey, I’ll take coffee too.” Allen says.

You three spend the next hour and a half going through the estate and funeral arrangements. You agree to go id the bodies tomorrow and meet with the funeral home your parents chose to use when that time came. He gave you the paperwork and letters stating you were the executive and heir of the estate and all finances were now yours.

He provided you with a list of all the banking and financial accounts, insurance policies, mortgage policies, and other such info and told you to contact them as soon as you get copies of the death certificates. He reminded you to get at least a dozen copies as most places require certified copies and not photocopies or faxes of them. He reminded you to contact the credit bureaus to notify them of your parents’ deaths to prevent identity theft and to request copies of their credit report.

Next he hands you a list of service providers to contact and see if your parents had any accounts with them. And he handed you a paper reminding you to contact government agencies like the Social Security Administration and the Department of Veteran’s Affairs since your father was a Vietnam Veteran.

Your head is spinning with stuff to do by the time you get done. Allen hands you and Richard each one of his business cards and tells you both to contact him if you have any questions or need any help. You nod and Allen flags down Masey and tells her that he’d like his tab please.

She brings it over and he pays her for his coffee and water. He gives you a hug and tells you he is sorry for your loss. You thank him and then sit back down. He shakes Richard’s hand and thanks him for coming with you to help you handle all this. Richard nods and thanks him for the info.

Richard sits back down and rubs your back after Allen leaves. “You ok, Sweetheart?” he asks quietly. “No, Rich, I’m totally feeling overwhelmed.” you say quietly. He hums, “How bout we head to the cabin and you can relax for a while. We can’t do much until the bodies are identified and we have death certificates from the coroner’s office. So how bout we just go relax for a while.” He says as he tips your head to look at him.

“Is there someplace we can get stuff for supper and some wine and whiskey? he asks. You giggle and nod. You stand and pick up all the papers and Allen’s business card. Masie gives Richard the bill and he thanks her.

She looks at him for a minute then grins, she asks quietly, “Did you play Thorin?” he grins and nods but puts his finger to his lips. “Can you keep me being here a secret? I’m here to help my girlfriend deal with estate matters since her parents were killed in a car accident recently. We’d rather not have attention drawn to us being here.” he asks her. She nods and looks at you and takes your hand. Were your parents Mr. & Mrs. (your last name)?” she asks. You nod.

“They were regulars here! We will miss them very much. The food drinks are on us today, and whenever you two want some food, it will be on us as well. We’re so sorry for your loss!” she tells you. “Would you mind meeting my parents? They own this place and would like to meet you. They were good friends with your parents.” she tells you. You look up at Richard and he puts his hand on your low back, smiles and nods.

“Come with me then.” Masie tells you both. You follow her with Richard right behind you. She leads you into the back office and calls for her parents. They come out of the office and kitchen and she introduces you and Richard to them. They give you a hug and tell you they are SO sorry about the accident and your loss.

They thank Richard for coming with you and ask if he would mind having a picture taken with you so they can keep it for the restarurant’s scrap book. They explain they like having photos taken with the regulars and families and that your parents talked about you all the time. Masie’s mom showed you the pictures of your parents that they had and she said she would like to put one of you and Richard with these so they had the whole family.

You agreed and looked up at Richard. “Do you mind?” you ask. “If you don’t want to do the pic, it’s ok, I’ll understand.” you tell him. He chuckles. “I don’t mind, Sweetheart.” he turns to Masie’s parents. “All that I ask is that you don’t post it to social media and don’t tell anyone I am here with y/n. I am here to support and help her with this hard time and would rather not have the focus on me.” he tells them. They agree and the two of you pose for the picture. Richard stands behind you with his arms around your waist obviously in love with you.

As you talk with Masie and her dad, Richard pulls Masie’s mom aside and asks her if he could get copies of the pictures of your parents and the one she took of the two of you just now. She happily agrees and goes to print them off for him. He rejoins you and the three of you talk for a few minutes. Masie’s mom comes back and hands Richard a small manilla envelope with the pictures in it. He thanks her and tucks it into his jacket. Then the two of you take your leave after Richard gives Masie a nice tip for her service. The two of you thank them for everything and then head out.

As the two of you walk to the SUV, you ask Rich what was in the manilla envelope that Masie’s mom handed him. He just grins and says, you’ll see in a few days. You look at him and give him the stink eye. He just laughs and kisses your head.

“What do you want for supper?” Richard asks you. You think for a minute then say, “How about something simple like spaghetti. I’m sure mom has plenty of food in the fridge and freezer. Let’s just stop and get the whiskey and wine and head to the cabin.’ you suggest. He grins and nods.

You drive over to a liquor store and the two of you head inside. Rich pulls his collar up and hopes his hat and jacket hide him enough to not be recognized. He didn’t think about being recognized in this small town community. The two of you find the Jameson Irish Whiskey and you’re pondering what size bottle to get.

You laugh when Richard comes walking over with the wine in his hand and reaches around you and grabs the biggest bottle of the whiskey. You look at him surprised and then laugh. “You really think I’m gonna drink ALL of that before we leave?” he just grins. “Never know when we may have company who might want some.” he smirks.

You shake your head laughing and the two of you head to the Cashier. Richard insists on paying for the drinks and the two of you head to the SUV. You both hop in and buckle up. You pull out of the parking lot and head for the cabin. 45 minutes later you arrive and park in the circle driveway.

Richard looks out the window and gives a low whistle. “This is your parent’s ‘cabin’?” he asks. You giggle and nod. Yup. He designed it and had it built here. It’s literally a log cabin...with amenities.” you giggle.

He chuckles and the two of you get out. You walk over to the door and reach up on tip toes looking for the hidden key. Richard looks at you for a minute then asks,” Would you like some help with that?” he asks. You turn and look at him and nod. “Yes, please.”

He grins and walks over to you and, to your surprise, picks you up by the waist and hoists you up onto his shoulders. You squeal and he laughs. He walks up to the door and you can easily see where your dad tucked the spare key. You grab it and tell Richard, “Ok. got it, you can set me down now.” he grins and tells you to hand him the key. You do and he unlocks the door, then hands you the key again. You tuck it back in its hiding spot and he opens the door. Then tells you to duck, which you do, and he walks through the doorway and looks around. You squirm to be put down and he obliges.

You flip on the lights and look around. You turn to look back at him and you crumple to the floor in tears. He rushes over and holds you. You both sit there for a few minutes as you cry...hard...He just holds you and rubs your back and pets your head while murmuring that it’s ok.

Finally you stop crying. “It’s so hard to be in here and not see them. Not hearing Mom holler out, “Y/n...is that you?” when we came in...” you say. “I know, sweetheart. I still expect to hear my mom say something along the same lines when I go to their home to visit.” Richard tells you.

He helps you up. “Come on. Let’s get unpacked, make some dinner and then go sit in the hot tub with a glass of wine and a glass of Jameson.” he suggests.

You nod and the two of you head out to the SUV. You get it unloaded and lock the doors, then haul everything into the entry way and you close and lock the cabin door.

You show Richard around the cabin and then up to the bedrooms. You show him the guest bedroom and then where yours is. You let him come in and admire your room while you unpack. He looks at all your certificates and awards from school and your artwork and your bookcase. He grins when he sees you have a queen size bed. “So do you have satin sheets on this one too?” he teases.

You look at him surprised. “How do you know about my satin sheets?” you ask. He grins...”The first night at your apartment when you fell asleep on me while we watched ‘Guys and Dolls’ I carried you to your room and put you in your bed, remember? You had silver satin sheets on it.” he smirked.

You face palmed and groaned. “Ugh! I totally forgot about that! Too much alcohol that night!” you say and he laughs. Richard smirks and goes to peek to see what’s under the comforter. You watch in amusement when he just finds regular cotton sheets. He looks up at you and pouts, “And here I thought you’d have satin ones here too.” he teases.

You groan. He stands and wraps you in a bear hug. “I’m just teasing you, Love.” he says as he gives your forehead a kiss. “Come on and lets go see what we can make for supper.”

You grin and follow him down stairs. Him holding your hand as you walk through the cabin. You lead him to the kitchen and the two of you dig through the fridge and freezer. You come across some defrosted steaks. You unwrap them and they look and smell ok. “Do we risk it? I have no idea when they put these in the fridge to defrost.” Richard thinks for a minute, “Well, they’ve only been gone for what, three days? So if they took them out the morning of the accident or even the day before, they should still be safe to eat. Let me see them.” Richard says.

You hand them to him and he looks at them and smells them. “I think they’re fine.” he says with a shrug. Is there a grill around here somewhere that we can cook these on? You nod and show him over to the door on the kitchen wall that opens onto a deck overlooking the lake. The sun is setting and is painting the sky and lake with beautiful pinks, purples, oranges and blues. You both stand there stunned by the beautiful colors. Once the colors fade you show Richard how to work the grill. He grins and the two of you head back inside while the grill heats up.

Richard digs around in the cabinets until he finds the spices he wants and he seasons the steaks. “How do you like your steak cooked?” he asks you. You tell him Medium well. He groans. “So charcoal.” he teases. You swat him and say, “Just cook it so there’s no pink in the middle. I prefer my cows cooked, and not mooing.” You tease back. He laughs again and heads out with the steaks on a plate. He comes back in a few minutes later with the plate and washes it in the sink then sets it in the drying rack.

You’re busy making a garden salad and found a package of crescent rolls that you’re rolling out and placing on a cookie sheet. He comes up behind you and wraps his arms around your waist and watches you as you work.

You smile and ask him to turn the oven on to 325 degrees F. He turns and flips on the oven and sets the temp then turns back and holds your waist again. He peppers your neck with soft kisses and tells you that you looked beautiful today. You blush bright red and giggle.

“How come you didn’t dress like this when you were on set?” he asks you as you mixed the veggies into the salad.

You pause and think. “I guess cuz i felt worthless and thought that no one would want me after what I have been through. I just wanted to hide and do my job and be invisible to most people. But Shannon and Stacie somehow slipped through my chinks in the wall I hid behind for so long, and weaseled their way into my life.They wouldn’t let me be ‘Miss invisible’ anymore. I guess they started to bring me out of my shell and got me back into the real world.” you tell Richard.

“I never expected to make the friends i have on this job. I miss them, but am glad i have you here to keep me going and to be with me.” you tell him as he gives your waist a squeeze and peppers your neck with more kisses.

“I’m glad I’m here too, Y/n. You’re such a treasure to have in my life. I’m so much happier when you’re around me. Even when your just leaning against me sleeping or across the room from me re-doing the set after each take. Everyone on set says you brightened their days with your kindness and your smile and your happy-go-lucky attitude.” he tells you.

Just then the timer on Richard’s phone goes off and he grins. “Time to go flip the cows on the grill. Where’s the tongs?” he asks as you bust out laughing.

You dig around in the drawers and find the tongs for the grill. You hand them to him and the meat thermometer. He thanks you and he heads out to the grill.

You think about what Richard just told you. How did you fail so miserably at being invisible with this job? How is it that all those people you work with each day on set were able to see through the walls you had spent so long hiding behind? You looked over to the windows and watched Richard through the window. He was smiling and his eyes twinkled. He made you feel loved and safe and wanted. You sighed and went back to working on the salad lost in thought, you didn’t hear Richard come back in.

“Sweetheart, do you want anything with the steaks besides the salad and crescent rolls?” he asks you. When you don’t answer, he looks at you and sees you’re lost in thought. He comes up to you and takes the knife out of your hand and you startle.

“I didn’t want you to cut yourself.” he tells you as he holds your hands. “Oh!” you say as you look up at him. “I’m sorry, I guess I was lost in my thoughts.” you apologize. “Did you say something to me?” you ask.

Richard chuckles and says, “I thought so. I asked if you wanted anything with the cows besides rabbit food and crescent rolls.” he says with a tilted head and smirk.

You chuckle and go to dig around in the fridge again. Richard comes up behind you and holds your waist and nibbles on your neck and shoulder. You giggle, “Richard, how am I going to get supper on the table if you keep nibbling on my neck and distracting me?” you ask.

He just chuckles and says, “Well, I guess I will just have to nibble on you for the appetizer and that will have to last me till supper is ready.” he teases and gives you a little nip on your neck then soothes it with a kiss. You laugh and look up at him. He grins at you with the same grin he used when filming Guy of Gisborne. You grin and chuckle, then go back to digging in the fridge to see what your mother had in there.

“What was that look for?” he whispers once you start digging in the fridge again. You chuckle. “That grin you were giving me reminded me of the one you used for Guy of Gisborne when he would deal with Marian.” you inform him as you find an expired container of potato salad and toss it onto the counter above the garbage.

He laughs and squeezes your waist. “Are you going to be my Marian?” he asks. “No, I’ll be your y/n.” you tell him. Besides, Guy killed Marian at the end of the show, and she ended up as a ghost with Robin anyway. I’d rather be alive and yours and not have to have to deal with a love triangle.” you inform him looking over your shoulder from the fridge with a wicked grin. He growls and wraps you in a huge hug and whispers into your ear...”MINE!” and then kisses you silly. Making you laugh so hard you have tears running down your face.

Coronavirus and Car Buying: What You Should Know??

While there remains a lot that we don’t know about how the COVID-19 coronavirus will play out, U.S. health officials still say there will be many more cases here and elsewhere in the world before the situation gets better. As a result, U.S. auto production is essentially shut down through April, though car repair facilities generally remain open, as does some level of sales and leasing operations in most states. There will definitely be a shortage of new vehicles. Rebuilding a salvage vehicle may be one of the only way to purchase affordable transportation. Prices on the used car market will sky rocket because of the demand and shortage of vehicles. The virus pandemic is global, and few industries are as interconnected around the globe as the auto industry. While China was the first country affected and South Korea followed, the situation has improved in those countries. Europe and the U.S. now are world centers of new cases. Buying a car might not be your major concern right now. However, we will eventually get back to normal life and work, so you might have questions if you need a vehicle now — or at any point in 2020 or even 2021. This includes replacing a vehicle coming off of a lease , if you need reliable/affordable transportation for a young adult going to college or a cheap commuter car to go to work. We are continually surveying the available information and will periodically post updates on the BidGoDrive blog. Buying a repairable vehicle is an excellent way to lower your monthly expenses and get rid of that car payment.

Are car dealers still open?

The situation is changing daily, but car dealers are not being ordered to close, even in most states and localities with the strictest rules. The federal Department of Homeland Security included vehicle service and parts businesses as well as vehicle leasing and rentals on its list of essential infrastructure exempt from closure orders, but it did not address sales. Some jurisdictions have set specific rules for conducting sales to stop in person transactions and to conduct all business remotely when possible. Click here to read how Bid Go Drive will handle all vehicles sales until things go back to normal.

What if I have a vehicle coming off a lease soon?

Most makers’ finance units are creating coronavirus plans with flexibility on leases — typically up to a six-month extension on expirations. Contact your dealer or finance company to learn more.

Will there be shortages of vehicles from domestic and foreign automakers that are built in North America?

Currently NO, but there will be end of 2020 and most of 2021, particularly for popular vehicles. Production in the U.S. is mostly shut down, with prospects for a restart uncertain. Here at Bidgodrive.com we have plenty of domestic made vehicles for sale. Honda was the first to announce a company-wide shutdown of all North American plants and that’s been extended, cutting output across much of its Honda and Acura lineups. GM, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles initially shut down production in North America through at least end of April 2020, but Ford and GM already have announced that the closures will extend indefinitely. For others, the situation also is fluid. Toyota, Tesla, Nissan, Volvo, Subaru, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz have shut down in North America with varying hoped-for dates to restart.

Will there be shortages of imported vehicles?

So far, no — but it’s likely down the road, at least for European vehicles. Here at Bidgodrive.com we have plenty of imported vehicles for sale. Production problems vary by country, and it also remains to be seen how much the pandemic will affect the shipping and delivery to dealers. The only China-built vehicle currently sold in significant volume is the Buick Envision compact SUV. Th U.S. gets lots of vehicles from South Korea and Japan, where automakers have mostly only had brief disruptions due to the virus. But some production in Japan — including by Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru and Mitsubishi — now is being curtailed due to parts problems and uncertainty about future demand. In hard-hit Europe the entire auto industry has ground to a halt. The effects on U.S.-sold models vary from every Porsche or Land Rover to just the Arteon for Volkswagen.

Will there be delays of new models for the 2021 model year?

Yes. Factory disruptions also could slow retooling and arrival of new models. Delays already are being reported, such as for the redesigned full-size SUVs from GM that were supposed to begin production in April. Several unveilings of new models have also been postponed — including an event for the all-new Ford Bronco — or are being streamed online. And look for more delays in all-new and updated vehicles due to dealers this year and beyond, such as Ford’s Mustang Mach-E electric SUV and Jeep’s coming Wagoneer. Michigan’s shelter rules have shut down construction at a plant for that Jeep as well as one that would build a redesigned Grand Cherokee. Automaker financial stress also could result in delay or cancellation of development projects: FCA let go 2,000 contract workers supporting projects that are now on hold, and GM has told suppliers that development of several new and refreshed vehicles has been suspended to save money to weather the storm.

Should I avoid cars built elsewhere with major parts from outside the U.S.?

That wouldn’t be easy because of global supply chains. Then again, none poses a significant risk: An official of the Centers for Disease Control reports that the life of the virus on various materials can range from hours to days, but not as long as it would take even most U.S.-built cars to show up at dealers.

Can I take precautions with a new car — or any car — if I am worried about exposure?

Coronaviruses are relatively easy to render harmless with common household disinfectants, such as Lysol, that also would be easy on your car. You can find a list of COVID-19-fighting products here.

Does the virus mean there will be deals?

Not yet, however New Car Manufacturers have brought down costs for payment buyers to almost 0% interest. And several makers have announced plans for initial payment flexibility for buying new cars. Hyundai and Genesis also have plans to help existing owners with payments should their jobs be affected. While production cuts will limit supply for the next year or two, automakers and dealers are likely to increase incentives down the road to clear the lots and to support ramping factories back up. The shortage of vehicles in the new car market will only cause a spike in used car market and increase the demand for used cars. BidGoDrive.com encourages you to consider purchasing a repairable vehicle for a fraction of a used car's retail value. We will continue to monitor the global pandemic and post updates on our blog. We encourage all our customers to continue practicing social distancing, stay home when ever possible, disinfect your home as often as possible, where a mask in areas where social distancing is not possible and wash your hands regularly. We hope you and your family are safe! Thanks BGD Management Read the full article

When winter falls in America, a lot of people like to get out and go somewhere warmer. I’m one of the guys who flies in. Why? If you live somewhere like Seattle where the locals are completely crippled by even a single snowflake, being a Canadian is just like being a superhero.

I first got the idea when I saw an ad on TV for the Canadian Foreign Legion. These intrepid soldiers will be flown into any American city currently crippled by under an inch of snow. There, embedded with whatever city management can walk to work, they perform heroic duties such as operating ambulances and replacing batteries in stranded cars. Looked rewarding, but I felt like it was a waste of the bounty they had been provided.

It’s an interesting question: if you were suddenly given super speed, what would you do with it? Turns out what I’d do with the ability to go 70 km/h in blowing snow while the police department can’t even get out of their parking lot is rob a lot of banks. And you have to rob a lot of banks these days, because banks don’t carry any actual cash anymore.

To my critics, I have only this to say in my defence: it gets me out of the house. No matter what penalty-box shitbarge on bald all-seasons the dumbass at the rental desk gives me, it’s still better than the Hyundai Excel I learned to drive in on the mean streets of Outremont. Compared to that almost-Pony, a ‘10 Corolla with no rear bumper and a set of Costco Tiger Paws is a WRC rally car, one I beat to within an inch of its life sliding gleefully around abandoned SUVs and rolled gasoline tankers.

So why not join me down south? In case you need one further incentive: the money I steal is American dollars.

Canadian Snowbirds Head South As US Land Borders Reopen

Canadians Ian and Heather Stewart are savoring the idea of leaving behind this winter’s subzero temperatures when the U.S. reopens its borders to nonessential land travel next week and they launch a long-delayed drive to their seasonal home in Fort Myers, Florida. Restrictions imposed by both countries during the coronavirus pandemic and their own concerns kept the retired couple and millions of other Canadians from driving south to warmer climes like Florida, Arizona and Mexico during last year’s freezing winter months. Now, the Biden administration’s decision to allow vaccinated people to enter the U.S. by land for any reason starting Nov. 8 has many Canadians packing up their campers and making reservations at their favorite vacation condominiums and mobile home parks. Some are already in the U.S., arriving on flights that never stopped and have required just a negative COVID-19 test. But many have waited to drive, preferring the convenience of having a vehicle to get around in with rental cars scarce and expensive. Vacasa, a management company for over 30,000 vacation homes in North America, Belize and Costa Rica, said it saw a major rise in traffic on its online platform after the new rules were announced. Canadian users’ views at rentals in snowbird-popular destinations jumped by 120%. The Stewarts will board their SUV with two dogs and a cat Nov. 10 for the four-day trek from Ottawa, Ontario, to spend six months on Florida’s Gulf Coast. “We love it there,” said Ian Stewart, 81, a retired air traffic controller with the Royal Canadian Air Force. “There’s such a nice feel with the good weather that lets you get out and walk and talk to your neighbors. And you don’t have to worry about slipping on the ice and breaking your bones!” Like the Stewarts, many Canadian snowbirds stay at mobile home parks and luxury RV resorts — with swimming pools, pickleball and sometimes golf courses — for people 55 and over. The Stewarts have owned a manufactured home at their Florida park since 2007. Arizona is also popular for its mild winters. The Arizona Office of Tourism expects an immediate economic impact in a state where people from Canada and Mexico traditionally make up the largest number of overnight visitors, said Becky Blaine, the office’s deputy director. “The phones have been ringing off the hook since they announced the border will be reopened,” said Kate Ebert, manager of the Sundance 1 RV Resort in Casa Grande, halfway between Phoenix and Tucson. Renée Louzon-Benn, executive director of the Greater Casa Grande Chamber of Commerce, said the desert community last year felt the absence of visitors from Canada and U.S. Midwestern states like Wisconsin and Michigan, with far fewer people spending money locally. Casa Grande Mayor Craig McFarland said the city of about 62,000 people usually swells by another 25,000 each winter. Wendy Caban of Lake Country, British Columbia, is thrilled she and her husband, Geoffrey, can soon drive to their resort home in the Phoenix suburb of Mesa. “I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of friends that we made over the last dozen years,” Wendy Caban said. “I’m looking forward to the warmth.” But the couple, both 73, are still mulling when to leave. “I think it’s going to be insane on Nov. 8,” Caban said. “So, we’ll wait a few days and monitor the lineups and the weather.” Arizona’s Office of Tourism says close to 1 million Canadian tourists accounted for $1 billion in spending in 2019. That plunged to 257,000 Canadians who spent $325 million last year. R. Glenn Williamson, Canada’s Arizona honorary consul and founder and CEO of the Canada Arizona Business Council, said the numbers for tourists don’t consider longer term stays by part-time resident Canadians who spend months at a time in homes they own in Arizona — as many as 200,000 additional people spending another $1.5 billion locally each year. With some 500 Canadian companies operating in Arizona, a new wave of younger, wealthier Canadian snowbirds work part-time in the state, where they buy upscale homes and play golf, among Canada’s most popular sports, Williamson said. Barbara and Brian Fox of Toronto, both in their 60s, plan to keep working for their strategic communications firm when they return to the Naples area on Florida’s Gulf Coast in March and April. It will be the longest Florida stay so far for the couple, who have canceled at least five planned trips south during the course of the pandemic over restrictions and concerns about possible infection. Plenty of retirees are planning to head south again as well. They include Wilf and Lynne Burnett, who haven’t made annual trek south from their hometown in Vancouver, British Columbia, to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, since the coronavirus emerged. They typically tow a 15-foot (4.5-meter) boat so they can fish and visit restaurants with docks on the bay. Now that land border restrictions are being eliminated, the Burnetts have a three-month reservation at a Puerto Vallarta condominium starting Jan. 6. “We’ll keep an eye on the virus and if things continue to improve, we’ll go,” Wilf Burnett said. Those who decide to travel at the last minute will likely find it hard to book a condominium, RV park or campground. Amid concern restrictions might keep changing, some snowbirds are making reservations for earlier in the season than usual, starting from November through early next year, said Bruce Hoban, co-founder of the 2,000-member Vacation Rental Owners and Neighbors of Palm Springs. Hoban said peak visitor times for snowbirds, who comprise about 15% of vacation rentals, are generally between February and April. Those who come can also expect prices as much as 20% to 30% higher because of increased demand, he said. Bobby Cornwell, executive director of the Florida and Alabama RV Parks & Campground Association, said many sites in those states were booked solid from January through March even before the new travel rules were announced. That’s because Americans have embraced RV travel during the pandemic, filling spots Canadian campers normally would. Still, it’s “wonderful news” Canadians can return, Cornwell said. “We encourage all snowbirds to plan to come to Florida and make your reservations as soon as possible,” he said. from Blogger https://ift.tt/3w83Trd via IFTTT
