Except Jon...NOBODY is fighting for this constitution republic. Lots of words talking about fighting for this constitution republic. But NO actual action... Crickets... Oh wait...clown suits... THIS is how its actually done in countries that are NOT afraid... And look...no guns are used if gun violence is frowned upon... The clown suits have done nothing...and if it was mildly successful...the clown suits have...stopped. Like I keep on saying... CRICKETS...

Im not so sure about that. fox "news" and trump propaganda has played a huuuuge role in deceiving these people. And that level of deception ONLY deceives the weak, stupid and racist. Not in denial. Most of these maga filth are enablers, BECAUSE trump promises acceptance of racism, these vile uneducated human beings are ok in getting phoqued by the oligarchs of the usa BECAUSE the non-white population of the usa is getting phoqued WORSE than they are. Any trump supporter is an ignorant soul. Some trump supporters are racist and enable the corruption BECAUSE trump promises bad things to happen to non-whites. These people are smart enough to understand the 'wink wink' language of trump. But racism is bred by ignorance... They enable the corruption but are too stupid to understand ALL the consequences that pertain to trump's corruption. Jim Beam is closing down its main distillery in Kentucky factory for a year. https://robbreport.com/food-drink/spirits/jim-beam-shutting-down-one-of-its-distilleries-in-1237417543/ https://apnews.com/article/jim-beam-bourbon-distillery-shutdown-kentucky-a8303cd04005a9108ff43690faad421b Tariffs are a beautiful thing... And the idiot americans bought into it. CANADIANS (not Canada...and if you are smart, you will KNOW the difference and the meaning as to why I present it this way...) has boycotted american liquor. Not realizing the consequences of tariffs and ESPECIALLY the insulting 51st state rhetoric. The american idiots BELIEVE the excuses that its not the Canadian boycott that is causing a small down in kentucky booze sales but millennials not drinking because millennials believe drinking=bad... jim beam... 55 million gallons of booze less in sales. Didnt know that millennials NEEDED to drink THAT much of alcohol. SHYTE!!! Boomers and Gen Xers are phoquing alcoholics... Here is another... The CEO of jack daniels said that boycotting Canadians are not a problem because Canadian sales are ONLY 1% of jack daniels sales... Well... https://www.kentucky.com/lexgoeat/bourbon/article313389656.html "Jack Daniel’s parent says profits down 14% for quarter. $59M in losses this year" "Fiscal 2026 outlook is expected to remain challenging, the company said, “with low visibility due to macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility as we face headwinds from consumer uncertainty,” among other factors. Organic net sales and organic operating income are expected to continue to decline for the full year, the company said." Read more at: https://www.kentucky.com/lexgoeat/bourbon/article313389656.html#storylink=cpy 1. The jack daniels ceo laughed and scoffed at Candians boycotting them. A CEO of a big business like the whiskey business and a big company like jack daniels should NEVER laugh at 1% sales losses... 2. Morons believed the LIE that Canada is ONLY 1% of jack daniels sales... 3. The ceo is a MORON himself following trump as he should have known better of the consequences of pissing off an ENTIRE nation... 4. MORE lay offs in the kentucky area in the whisky business... ALL of them maga a$$hol3$!!! Not a sinlge brain cell between ALL of them NOT realizing the consequences and believing the deception of fox "news" and trump's words... YES!!! Do NOT be surprised. THAAAAT many americans are THAAAAAQAQT phoquing stupid. 1. Since the 1960s or at least the 1970s...education has been defunded in your country. 2. Since at least the 1970s, ignorance has been worshipped in your country. And ESPECIALLY the last 15 years. Nah...just their vile bitterness and racism and as long as the non-white folk suffer more than them. The hatred of these uneducated filth is truly a sickening site. So much so, that whatever trump tells them, they will believe it. Canada became an enemy of the usa somehow, and these phoquers licked all that shyte up. Canada has stayed away from visiting your loser country and all the touristy areas in your country are begging Canadians to come back. So much ignorance involved as they do not understand why Canadians are not visiting and will not visit for a very long time. But they did vote for trump knowing he was hell bent on destroying Canada. And in these touristy places KNOW that Canada is what pays there dreams and wishes... But these touristy places ALSO lay blame to Canadians as to why we are NOT visiting and blame us for their financial downfalls... Not too bright as people if you ask me... It does not look like it... This mess you guys have put yourselves in is going to last a while longer. A LOT while longer. Why? There is NO phoquing push back from ANYBODY in your useless country... In Bangladesh...the people are revolting... https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/12/1166642 In Greece...the Greeks revolted when there was a train crash in 2023 that killed many and didnt like the authority's explanations as to why it happened...but as recent as this month... https://freedomnews.org.uk/2025/12/15/farmers-revolt-in-greece/ farmers are revolting... The authorities are threating farmers with criminal intent...yet Greek farmers are revolting... Why? FREEDOMS AND DEMOCRACY AND ALL OF THAT CRAP!!! After more than ten days of nationwide mobilisation, farmers’ protests last week escalated into open confrontation and clashes with riot police. Protesters have faced arrests and upgraded charges, while in Crete authorities are threatening to prosecute farmers under accusations of forming a “criminal organisation.” From the mountains of Macedonia and Epirus to the plains of Thessaly and Aitoloakarnania, and from olive-growing Messinia to tourist-heavy Crete, thousands of low- and lower-middle-income farmers have taken to the roads. National highways have been shut down, cutting key transport routes and effectively splitting the country into parts. Tractor convoys are marching through major towns and cities, border crossings, ports and airports have been occupied for hours, and state institutions have been targeted with militant interventions. The farmers’ movement has moved decisively beyond symbolic protest. In the usa...crickets... There are MANY times where americans could have avoided this mess they find themselves in. We COULD start in January of 2020. crickets.... We could start with the 34 or so felonies he was convicted of but NO sentencing... crickets... We could start with the mar-a-lago court case when trump hoarded all those classified files and the case was not even addressed in court because trump bought himself out of that... crickets... Epstein files... crickets... Yeah...the whole lot of you are stupid and ignorant if you ask me... COWARDS more than anything else as well!!!

Its a beautiful picture. A general and random thought it may be, but the picture itself should be immortalised in here. Thanks for sharing it with us. @trinacriabob

Awesome specimen. Sadly though, it is no longer available for sale. Did the seller find a buyer? At $48 000, it is relatively cheap to buy. Does that mean muscle cars are going down in price? Maybe its not a "numbers matching" 455. Perhaps an aftermarket "upgrade". It does have an Edelbrock stamp on the block which explains the "low" price of 48 thousand. Either way, Id buy it. Well...not now. Owning a "vintage" muscle car would be #2 of my dreams and wishes. Im on my way of realizing my #1 of dreams and wishes. Owning a home (condo) on a Greek island. My financials are almost there for that. If #1 is not fullfilled, then #2 would happen. But #1 looks to be right on track. Only thing I will whine about is: Although I LOOOOVE Cragar SS wheels, ESPECIALLY on muscle cars, I somehow disapprove of them on a 442. The rich that support him are making even MORE money with him there so no...they will NOT listen. They do not care. The others are racist bastards that as long as the ones they hate are in worse shape than they are, then they will allow trump to destroy the country. It WILL take the rest of you to fight for your country. To remove him FORCIBLY and all those other cancerous shyteholes that have infected your country.

YES!!!

Do not forget that he also reignited his racist "why do we get immigrants from non-white countries and not from white countries" rhetoric. Oh...then there is the constant talk about war on his own citizens. Also, the constant attacks on Canada, the usa's most reliable and friedliest neighbour. Not to mention the grifting and the corruption that allows his friends and family to gain billions of dollars financially from government coffers. I have become NON-TOLERANT to ANY american entity. I DESPISE maga, trailer trash and anything remotely connected to trump and/or the republican party. I HATE anything american that ALLOWS trump to continue on this path and I do NOT respect americans that allow this shyte to exist. And many many MANY Canadians feel the same way. It is NOT just me... It is, in the grand scheme of things, ALL of Canada that has this hatred for the usa. And its not ONLY because of trump... I as a Canadian, we Canadians DO have a dog in this fight as trump has THREATENED OUR nation politically, economically. His words ARE words of war and add insult to injury, some americans to this day do NOT understand the severity of it all. Phoque trump Phoque the usa

phoque trump phoque the u.s.a.

Sure. if I remember correctly with the story of those scoops is that when the Hurst/Oldsmobile collaboration was made and the decision to utilise the 455 for the Hurst editions (the regular 1969 442 had a 400 c.u.), Hurst wanted to change it up and use Ram Air ducts from on top and was a quick job to those scoops. The 1969 442 ram air set up draws air from the bottom. When 1970 came around, Oldsmobile wanted to use that 455 outright and not weasel it through Hurst collabs and also had the time to finesse elegant hood scoops. The 1969 hood scoops are fibreglass if I remember correctly but the entirety of the 1970 hood is fibreglass. But yeah...goofy looking. I dont mind them either way. And becomes a bigger part of the muscle car appeal for me.

The wing is just dumb. The hood scoops are functional. Ram air. Yes. The normal RS6 is a better choice. I sometimes prefer the more 'look at me' versions when it comes to muscle cars. The Volvo you posted is another great looker!!! If there was an optional visual enhancing package/trim on it, Id probably prefer that. Like this one over the standard Volvo 850 station wagon. (just talking about exterior looks. Not engine choices. Obviously the more powerful engines are preferred for me) Functional hood scoops!!!

Yeah...it has funky designs on it. I like the designs on it because I like muscle cars. Classic or modern muscle cars have got all kinds of boy racer features on them. Racing stripes. Decals in forms of hockey sticks or stripes going alongside the sides of the car. Fender flares. Wings and/or spoilers and 'aerodynamic' extended body panels... An Audi A6 is kinda like a muscle car. This particular one plays the part with the V8 engine under the hood of its mid-sized body. And...its a homologation trimmed car. With the aforementioned spoilers and wings and its homologation racing stripes and colours schemes on its lower body panel 'aerodynamic' bits. Its childish and immature and I LOVE it!!! Its kinda spiritual torch bearer to these: Obviously the Audi is a wagon... but you get the idea.

Perhaps Central Cadillac is part of a bigger automotive ownership group that owns multiple brands, including an Infiniti dealership, and on cost cutting measures, just uses one generic 'thank-you' card with just one picture on it, that Infiniti coupe, and distributes this one generic 'thank-you' card to all of its customers regardless what vehicle they happen to drive?

Except on the Mercury Sable, it ACTUALLY looked good. Imagine that light bar with LEDs... I also like the Pontiac Grand Prix too. But modern cars though, I think Lucid does it best. Because you cannot tell its there. The stainless trim camouflages it. But its there alright!!! And even at night, its subtle. And I like how LUCID lights up But its overplayed, I agree.

I like the fact that the G90 Wingback has a loooooong ass wheelbase. And this is why it has that loooooong ass wheelbase: Which is fantastic. But Im not ready to be chauffeured just yet. Maybe when I hit my 60s. But...looooooong ass wheelbase cars do ride much smoother though. And I like that too. But my heart belongs to the German...for now.

I like this one even more than the CTS V wagon With that colour scheme of this year 2025. The 2026 I believe has a refreshed face. Keeps its V8. But is a hybrid? Anyway, I love this wagon and I will probably love it still for 2026.

1 minute 30 in and I was swearing at the guy...and I cut it short. Didnt wanna listen to his stupidity any longer than that. 1. Who the phoque does mechanics work on MODERN cars at home in 2025? 2. I get the "right to repair" outrage for Zeke's Auto Shop somewhere in hickville, alabama or bumpkin pumpkin south carolina... but there is a reason why most people do not attempt to work on modern cars in 2025. 3. its to avoid killing one's self and others as cars today are actually sophisticated. Do they have to be that sophisticated? Well that is what this moron youtuber is trying to sell his idea on. 4. But at around the 1 minute mark is where his argument all went south (pun intended as it seems the folk down south in them there united states are really phoquing dumb individuals). He goes on to say that one could fix the brakes on a car by themselves. Its not that hard he says. But even if putting the brakes on backwards he says, you would hear a noise that something is wrong and you would just change the brakes up again to put them right. Like he does not see the problem with what he just said? ALL KINDS of error in thinking in that... Zeke in his business auto shop down the street should be able to hire auto mechanics students straight from an auto mechanics school to fix modern GM cars, Ford cars, KIAs, Toyotas and all the other OEMs out there WITHOUT having to buy special proprietary equipment and computers to unlock the proprietary car's computer to be able to read the software language to be able to repair... I will agree with that. But Bobby Joe with his two good teeth and his blood cousin/brother-n-law Waylon who married his sister Country Sunshine shouldnt be able to... 6. There is a reason to why computers are locked though. Everything phoquing Bluetooth in cars today and outside hackers might and will be able to take control of the cars. Not that would stop any hacker, but it is more difficult to do so. 7. AND....cars today ARE sophisticated. You cant just bang on a car part today with a hammer to get it to fit or to hillybilly a solution for it. Yeah...put a brake part on backwards he says... Fix it later and better he says when you hear weird noise he says.... Phoque me!!! If you are serious in doing your own car work...make the phoque sure you aint putting on nothing backwards... I thought changing brakes are easy. THAT is what he says too. But that is the thing, if putting on brakes is such an easy and trivial thing , why would you put it on backwards, but if you do put it on backwards, what else do you phoque up on the car today in 2025? And that is with brakes... Cars today are not just mechanical.... Does this youtuber or Zeke or Bobby Joe, Waylon and Country Sunshine know electronics and computers? Are they willing to learn? They probably all flunked out and dropped out of school, so no...they have no will to learn anything new... Any other Joe Blow...who some knowledge and its a difficult thing... Why would you attempt to fix it yourself voiding a warranty or phoquing up another part and being in a worse position than before? The folk that are able to work on today's cars OUTSIDE of a dealership KNOW what to do. They often HOTROD their cars and TUNE their engines different from the factory settings. These guys ALREADY know what to do. Joe from accounting in your office has not the time, nor the patience to do such things. Billy Bob in appalachia might be able to do it because Billy Bob is a car guy, but Bobby Joe with his 2 good teeth, most probably not. Fake phoquing outrage...

Yes. Primer. Good description.

I am saddened. Loved him as an actor. There was also a crime thriller movie with Wesley Snipes and Sean Connery that he did. Rising Sun.

For sure. 100% I have a personal anecdotal story involving insurances. Although my aunt's and uncle's insurance story from Boston didnt affect me personally, its a story that makes me very indifferent regardless what kind of monster Luigi Mangione could really be. If the story is that the CEO that got murdered was truly a sweet man, then I will have empathy for him. If not...indifference it will be for me. I have lost a lot of my humanity these last few years I must admit. And you would be correct, indifference is almost always NOT the correct emotion to wield no matter what the circumstances. Most probably was. I am curious to know Luigi's motives. Although I am not too fond of Luigi either. I dont like murderers. But...innocent until proven guilty. And Luigi's Miranda Rights allegedly were not given to him. And...a search warrant was not present when the officers went through his backpack. I will hate it if Luigi does not stand trial because of incompetency. Justice needs to be served. For the deceased as well for the charged as well for society. Any murder is creepy, I will agree. We discussed my indifference so I wont get into that again. This would be a second time I would be indifferent to horrific public murders in a year's time. My indifference to both murders does not negate that I also sense and feel the creepiness of it all. Good guy or bad guy, indifference to his murder or not, and we will add Charlie Kirk to this...NOBODY should be murdered. I agree with your assessments: indifference is not the right answer and vigilantism is a very dangerous road to follow. human beings are strange creatures. Psychology has proven that human beings are more lenient and more favorable towards pleasant physical human attributes than to humans that are less lucky to be blessed with beautiful genetics. Reality is though... that ALL human beings are capable of murder. THAT is the scary part.

I never understood the matte paint job on a car. It kinda looks okay on a certain type of restored classic hot rod/muscle car of some sort representing some sort of theme. I could buy into that. But on a brand new sports car, exotic hyper car, it looks stupid. These kinds of cars NEED to be presented with pride because these types of cars SCREAM look at me. And metallic bright shiny paint jobs is the ONLY way. I could accept a matte paint job on sedan luxury barges. It might present itself gracefully if low key is the message. But really...how can a matte paint job on a $300 000 Bentley or Rolls Royce be a low key and humble message? A luxury barge costing that much is not humble nor is it low key... And doing a matte paint job on an entry level vehicle just looks even more cheap and pathetic for your image.... I dont get matte paint jobs...
