In both cases its the cycle that humans let run for decades. Neither party is innocent, go back to the year I was born Americans were bombing kids in Vietnam and the Chinese were enslaving children and adults in the cultural revolution and the Marxist garbage in China. The thing that disgusts me is that I think we have more economic and political liberty to change the situation and it persists, so, in my calculus having more ability to change and not changing is worse. One of my favorite philosophers is Simone Weil. She was highly skeptical of both Capitalism and Marxism, and doubted that humans were in many cases capable of grand change or collective action. I am kind of with her on this. Thank you for being sane and reasoned, and putting up with the bitching on the left from all of us here. We now return you to this forum, where our love of dashboard plastic matches the love JD Vance feels for living room furniture. In Sport mode, the Camry will move, and the Turbo 4 in the Ranger has not disappointed me. 131,000 miles on that beast, has run well so far...knock on wood. They were damn fine vehicles. The last of them are rotting to oblivion and running their final miles here in Ohio. Sad to see them go. The Big Buicks were the best of the lot IMHO. The Camry and Ranger are both easy for me to park in the city, even parallel park. A dually pickup truck would not be so easy though.

335hp and a 10spd auto. It's only turning like 2000-2500 rpm at 70 cruising on flat terrain. And has AFM, so sometimes running on 4 cyl only. I have to watch myself passing...pull out to around a truck, stomp on the gas and I'm doing 85-90 pretty quickly. I try and use the cruise control a lot.

Fun people know how to laugh at themselves. Italians are funny people, they are great to poke fun at, and they can usually laugh at themselves. I forgot how funny this scene was. This whole movie was one of those timeless gems from happier times.

I love that movie, it Rocks!!!

Very cool tech to see what the actual condition is of ones vehicle. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/ownership/this-ai-scanner-in-california-can-see-every-nut-and-bolt-under-your-car-and-it-s-changing-the-dealership-game/ar-AA1YzlUO?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=69b9548379774192922d9e06fa6c4966&ei=15

This should sell pretty well. Even a Rav4 can hit $50k now, a well equipped Bronco Sport is over $40k. So $50k for one of these seems like a pretty good deal.

Great. At 65 under perfect conditions, I could see it getting 31 or 32. For me, it's a game I sometimes entertain myself with. I'm guessing this is at least 300 horsepower worth of V6. I'm still trying to figure out how mid-2000s Impala and Monte Carlos with 3.4 and 3.5 V6s easily got their 33 and 34 mpg ... and they did.

This is going to be Rivian's killer app. A CR-V sized crossover with better than CR-V sized interior room. Enough range to combat range anxiety, decent towing capacity for its size, and fast acceleration. All for the roughly the same price as an X3 or GLC. It's what will save Rivian.

I certainly think that is debatable. It is horrific that an elementary school was bombed. I also think it is worse to have millions of children in slave-like-labor factories for decades, therefore effecting many many more than the hundreds that were unjustly killed.

The Jeep is very easy to park... shorter wheelbase (114.8 in) and overall length than the Caddy (16 inches shorter)...and it's shorter than a typical late model Accord or Camry. The big mirrors and back up camera help overcome the thick pillars and small windows. My old GC was even easier, it was 8 inches shorter w/ larger side windows.. The Caddy averages about 27-30 mpg on flat roads w/ cruise control set around 70...though lower on I-77 through WV and VA with lot of mountains and passing of slow moving trucks.. loads of power for passing in the mountains.
