Re: Let's talk about cars
It's handy but we only bothered to sign up for one reason. 
Before we got Prime we used to order frequently from Amazon (and still do), but we never paid a penny for shipping. But for the one thing, I think we would probably drop it again. I guess Amazon has three years to prove to me that Prime is indispensable. 
Of course I might get overruled by Mrs P.

You're right about the shipping not being a huge deal though, my own Amazon account isn't upgraded to Prime and I never pay for shipping, always going for the free option when offered. Free two day shipping still comes in handy, though.
On balance, I think it's worth it, though.
Even with a DVR full of shows to catch up on, we're on the Fire Stick most of the time. I think I might want to add Hulu Plus as well, because they have Father Ted (among other things) ...

Ok 2 reasons I love ordering something Sunday morning, and getting that afternoon!

Re: Let's talk about cars
We have three subscription streaming services - Netflix, Hulu and Prime, althought the latter is/was a bonus added to the 2-day shipping and other features.
Quite frankly, if it wasn't for the Footy, F1 and football, we'd drop DirecTV like hot bricks as we spend most of the time streaming, especially since I got an upgrade to our internet from 12 Mb/s to 50, with a reduction in price!

Re: Let's talk about cars
There must be a new law in California that I'm unaware of. It seems that owners of high end Mercs and BMWs are exempt from displaying front license plates. I'm sure that if I removed the front plate from my humble Honda Accord I'd be pulled over and issued a fix it ticket soon after

Re: Let's talk about cars
Which is OK until someone decides to get awkward. In the eighties only one plate was required in CT, but since then they are issued in twos and both are supposed to be used.
