I drove all over the United States, central Europe and elsewhere in APCs, jeeps, trucks, Hummers, and have had my fill of the road boats. I'm happy to be in something lower and more refined.

I've done the DC to Detroit drive in my family truckster (minivan and SUVs) and it sucks. I do it in my current car and its not a problem at all. The value of having a good car that handles the road seems to have been lost on the consumer who loves the SUV.

well now Very cool if true

Butterfield?

These guys are not good

So, instead of paying for all 162 games with your MLB subscription and your Directv. You have to pay for another service to watch a weekend game. FUCK ROB MANFRED!

is ever thus. It appears that the street fighting favors Ukraine but the Russians have ways of making streets into rubble.

Oh, we already played like shit in New York Shitty today?

When Speaker MTG impeaches President Biden and Manchin and Sinema are part of the 60 voting to remove: —President Harris chooses who for VP? — How long does she have before all that happens to her after the revocation of the 19th Amendment and her Administration is ruled unconstitutional on the grounds of her gender? Which Oddly does not impact MTG because it is revealed that the Supreme court rules she is an honorary male because she supports gun rights.

I wish the Volt were still on the market. My friend has one. Its a good size for passengers (could be a tad bigger), but has very good power and range. The gas engine gets him across country when necessary and he mostly uses the battery when he commutes.

YES

I have a friend who works for VW here in northern Virginia. He's really opposed to EVs. I think he's really into the emotions of the internal combustion engine. I asked him about the plan for the market to be dominated by EVs and he said: plans can change. I don't know how many engineers and designers who work in the Detroit Metro, Tokyo, Seoul, Munich, etc. might share those opinions but it is a bit dispiriting. When I bought my last vehicle it was the lack of available options and the range consideration that kept me from committing. I ended up with a car that made me happy 5 days a week and miserable when it came the day to fill the tank.

Yeah, this is the sort of game that the commissioner wanted

Baez cost a lot of money for this level of production.

Looks on the broadcast like we are a small town mouse being played with by the big city cat

this was worth anything i gave them

Where is the state of Chicago on this chart?

No AR-15 has ever been marketed for self-defense purposes. Its a fact. You can only use them to shoot animals and pieces of paper and some lighter cardboard.

They don't want to stop it. The Steve Bannon types are trying to cause chaos in pursuit of Leninist objectives of gaining power. People who follow along nodding as all their racial antagonisms are pushed (e.g., the people who think Kyle Rittenhouse should be made a congressman) are merely enabling these would be autocrats.

Flint man arrested at U.S. Capitol with fake badge, high-capacity magazines (detroitnews.com) Seems like he was just trying to express his freedom

The authoritarian personality disorder on display.

I was thinking if the Freep headline about sudden hiring of temp workers by Ford was subtle dig at king of the cuckoo birds who has the other EV company who tried to play in the right wing ecosphere for a while but then learned that destroying your stock's value comes at a cost and decided he had to lay a bunch of workers off. Ford promotes 3K temp UAW workers to permanent ahead of schedule (freep.com) Oh and look. She's african american so Tesla wouldn't hire her.

she might be worried that this is coming out when the hearings start.

I wouldn't place a bet either way. The Russians are hammering the Ukrainians in the East but they are stretched thin in the South. The bridge that exists to Crimea could be destroyed. if Ukraine were to cut the land bridge (mariopol) and cut that, they would severely hamper Russia's efforts in the extreme South West near Kherson.

A lot of sacred cows are threatened here. Sometimes the smart administrator tries to avoid offending local gods. In this case the local god is the cult of the firearm. That said: murdered kids.
