Ruf Gives China A Stretched Porsche Panamera

Yeah, my mom probably found it on sale.  My parents liked Sears, Sears Surplus, and BeST (A chain that is nearly impossible to google).  It's funny in my family that you can tell who bought something by where it was bought.  My grandmother who just passed last year was a Bloomingdales and Strawbridge & Clothier lady.  My great grandparents on the other side were Wannamakers. Other grandmother was JC Penny and Sears.  Albert's family was all Kaufmann's and Horn's.

I have always liked this Mercedes. Its predecessor too.  @smk4565's ride.     Hey @smk4565.  Still got your Mercedes?  I love your car!!!  I also liked the 190E back in the day. 

I never liked that 280ZX. I still dont like it to this day. Although I do likje the interior. Especially the digital dash version.   I was just listening to music and watching the videos...youtube and all...when I had the itch to listen to Borderline.  Then I saw the 280 long forgotten it was in the video and I said to myself "hmmmmm...maybe I post picture of 280. Sounds good."     Bradlees?   Never heard of them. I just googled and saw what they were.  We had Miracle Mart, Woolco and Zellers.  My mommy had bought me many Hot Wheels cars from Miracle Mart.  All our, or most, electronic purchases were made from a department store called Eatons.  I miss Eatons.  They had a wide selection of entry level electronics to the premium ones.  They had a substantial toy department too. Plastic model kits to fancy electric train sets.  Video game consoles and their games too.  Appliances and furniture. With those too, Eatons carried entry level stuff to high end stuff.  At least with the Downtown location. We lived 10 minutes away from downtown so my parents shopped at that location all the time.  It was great because as a kid, I got to see how poor we were, but also what the rich people buy as compared to what my family bought.  How poor we were...I never felt ashamed. Just made me motivated to succeed in life. And I also learned that entry level stuff (at least back then) was built to last just as much as the high end stuff. But some quality elements suffered, be it a lack of chrome on a button or maybe a speaker was a little bit weaker than the higher end stuff.  No biggie in the grand scheme of things.  Wow...thanks Drew for making me reminisce about my childhood.  LOL.  

Stephen Miller 10/6/2025: “A district court judge has no conceivable authority whatsoever to restrict the President…” Hitler, Reichstag speech (1933): “The German nation will no longer tolerate that its will be nullified by judges of a corrupt system.” Miller: “The President has undisputed authority under both statute and the Constitution to deploy troops… to defend a federal facility.” Hitler Speech, Berlin 1934: “The Führer alone is the bearer of the will of the nation; his authority is the highest law.” Miller: “This large-scale political violence is domestic terrorism.” Hitler, Munich 1923: “Whoever resists us is not a political opponent but an enemy of the nation, deserving no mercy.” Miller: “The Portland Police have refused to render aid and assistance to ICE officers… The attacks on ICE are violent armed resistance designed to incapacitate the federal government.” Goebbels, 1934: “Whoever obstructs the work of the state, whoever aids its enemies, commits treason against the nation.” Miller: “We’re going to liberate this city from the criminal element that has plagued it for generations.” Hitler, Reichstag speech, 1933: “We will liberate Germany from the poison that has corroded it from within for generations.”   Stephen miller, Memphis speech to LEOs: “I see the guns and badges in this room. You are unleashed. The handcuffs you’re carrying—they’re not on you anymore, they’re on the criminals.” Hitler, Speech to SA and SS, 1934: “You are the soldiers of a new Germany. You are released from the weakness of the past—your duty is to act, not to hesitate.”   They're not even hiding the plagiarism. 

And???       (not directed at you @A Horse With No Name)  Some of you god damned pathetic American losers will suffer economic losses?  Cry about it to someone who gives a phoque... Maybe this guy...   But apparently, Canadian sales of US liquor is but a drop in a bucket in the whole US liquor sales scheme of things....is what was said by these US liquor entities.  The leader of the free fascist world that is the USA said that Canada has nothing that the US needs. That the US subsidizes Canada... Phoque the US!!!
