Not so much as "class act" for an American First Lady because all in all, American First ladies have proven to be class acts over all. Regardless of what shenanigans, real or imagined spewed by politically biased morons tell the world... Humans are flawed... nobody is perfect. He who has not sinned may cast the first stone type deal here... Anyhoo... But...what I want to say...many religious politcally biased morons have chastized witchy witch Hillary Clinton when she said she "stands by her man" when her man was caught smoking in the boys room so to speak... But those same religious political extremist morons do NOT return the favour when it comes to Mrs Donald J. Trump. Good ole Arkansas boy Slick Willie has MAJOR philanderer competition with bad boy from New York City Donnie. But the hypocrisy of that subset of the religious right repubs just baffles my mind. Again...not so much judgement on my part for the First Ladies of America, but extreme hatred for the hypocrisy of political morons in your country ESPECIALLY those that dare call themselves "Christians". I dont know what they could call themselves, but believers and followers of Jesus Christ and His "teachens" they are not! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! Thoughts and prayers to EVERYone!!!

I missed this... Im sorry that I did. I am happy for you both! A girl!!! PS: Im going to be expecting my cyber "Its a Girl" cigar...

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a45825905/porsche-turbo-models-get-exclusive-badge/ Article states about what kind of shytty branding of a logo that Porsche Turbos will get. But Im not whining about Porsche's decision here. Im gonna bitch about rag tag mags getting it wrong. Automakers love to separate out model lines and trim levels as their own sub-brands. Take a look at the next Corvette you see, or the next Bronco. You won't see any Chevrolet bowties or Ford ovals shouting about who actually builds the iconic vehicles. Now, Porsche is gearing up to do something similar with the capital-T Turbo models in its lineup. The fiction author of this article gets it wrong about Corvette. ALL Corvettes, including the current gen C8 and the Chevrolet bowtie is INDEED showcased. And it so happens to be a tad more prevalent than other generations to boot. Hey rag tag mag CarandDriver: Leave the Corvette name and logo out of YOUR mouth!!!

LOL Customer service is a buzz phrase that is 40 years old already. But corporate businesses that peddle customer service to be their #1 priority almost always have THE worst customer service practices but almost ALWAYS have the most ELABORATE customer survey surveys and almost always are at the forefront of customer survey deployment technology. Im too, am sick...SICK and tired of all the customer service buzzword buzz buzz and their shytty surveys. If they truly cared about customer service, they would PAY their staff decent wages, they would not only hire the proper amlount of staff, but would have REAL fulltime staff that are PROPERLY trained to do their tasks at hand and not ONLY would they would PAY for that training, but would CONSTANTLY keep their FULLTIME staff up to date with their knowledge of whatever knowledge their staff would need to accomplish their tasks. Not only that, they would offer their staff all kinds of benefits like healthcare and pension plans. But alas...someitime in America and in Canada, both of our countries declared war on the worker and although we ALL hate the corporate fat cat, we have allowed the corporate fat cat to rule us. I bet that XMAS jingles are playing in EVERY major US and Canadian retail stores as of last Monday...and I bet every single ONE of those retail stores preaches customer service...

Robert Hall: "Im going to a Depeche Mode concert. Yeah...I am enjoying a youthful renaissance lately since I got my Mustang five point oh in order. Really feels good since today's cars are just appliances you know. Yup!!! Im feeling REAL good!!! Life is awwwwwright Ill tell ya!" Oldshurst442": "ENJOY THE SILENCE!!!" Robert Hall: "Oh! So you like Depeche Mode too?" Oldshurst442": "Nah! Nah! Im just telling YOU... to enjoy the silence. Shytty band then. Shytty band now. I mean, who else is going to that BO-ring concert anyway other than yourself. So... Enjoy thee. Sigh-lence." Robert Hall: "You'll need to be your own personal Jesus when Im through with you!" Oldshurst442: "People are people, man! Why should it be? You and I dont NEEEED to get along so awfully! Different people have different likes and neeeeeeds, man. So...I made a wittle joke about your precious band, man! Its obviuos you HATE me, man! Though Ive done NOTHING wrong. Robert Hall: "Save it for someone who cares. Someone to HEAR your prayers!"

Does this qualify as mid-life crisis? Even though the Mustang is yours since 40 years ago?

Happy 45th @Drew Dowdell

I wonder if those two quipsters rode their bikes today. Jack did tell me that they are wild.

Bootleggin' beer across Provincial lines is illegal in these parts here. He probably should have had a friend drive a speedy blocker, eh? Chérie...chut! https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/opp-charge-driver-caught-with-326-cases-of-beer-from-quebec-1.7016702 Officers found 326 cases of beer in a van pulled over Wednesday on Highway 401 near Belleville, Ont. (Supplied by OPP) Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged the driver of a rental van with unlawfully possessing 326 cases of beer purchased in Quebec and brought into Ontario. "Liquor purchased from Quebec and transported to another province must be for personal use only. [The] driver admitted it was not for his personal use," an OPP spokesperson clarified in an email.

Because its a thread that is 10 years old. I brought it back from the dead a month ago... Sorry? or maybe its... your welcome?

LOL Im honest in that too. Grouchy is grouchy but wont admit to the reasons of his grouchiness.

Thanx for the laughs CCAP.

Absoluuuuuutely. About price hikes and all. Inflations suck. At least though, it wasnt a case of shrinkflation though, right? also, at LEAST admit there IS a Bolt and Bolt EUV on the way before crucifying David on his stance and GM for this particular price hike, non?

You think that was a me tryna get you on a gotcha moment? lol nah. that was me explaining that some of us dont admit when we are wrong. May or may NOT include you. But. Seems strange to me that NONE youse saw that the ev range IMPROVED. Seems even stranger that ya’ll jumped on @David but failed to realize the marketing dilemna that GM may or may NOT have concerning 2 EVs in that 30 thousand threshold. ONLY @smk4565 SAW it coming but here you are, virtue signaling on David, me trying to prop up SMK about a shyttty stanced opinion you and Grouchy have about a misdirected price hike drama oriented posts. Hence me calling you and grouchy on trolling. Am I trolling? Damn right I am!!! Grouchy went all phoquey on me for calling him out on his hypocrital Toyota stance. Irony of him trying to call out David for hypocrisy… Enjoy the first day of November. Love from a Montreal Greek boy who may or may NOT think he is French and living rent free in Grouchy’s head in Canada somewheres…

yes he is!!! And I was wrong... Bet you that NONE of you are able to admit when you are wrong though. Ive done that several times. Most of you like to troll around though...

If that ALSO comes with a battery bump and range, like that last 5K increase, what is the problem? ESPECIALLY when a Bolt and Bolt EUV are on the way? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/28/business/tesla-model-3.html By Neal E. Boudette Feb. 28, 2019 Tesla is finally ready to offer a version of its Model 3 sedan with a starting price of $35,000. The company on Thursday began accepting orders for the lower-priced version, with delivery in two to four weeks. It said the base Model 3 would have a range of 220 miles before needing a charge, and would come with a different interior than pricier versions of the car. The new offering is a milestone for Tesla, whose chief executive, Elon Musk, has long promised a $35,000 model. But the company has struggled to reduce costs enough to be able to sell such a car. “This has been something we’ve been working toward since the beginning of the company,” Mr. Musk said in a conference call with reporters. “It has been insanely difficult.” The automaker also began selling a Model 3 version with a range of 240 miles and a starting price of $37,000. Previously, the cheapest Model 3 sold for about $43,000 before tax incentives.

Grouchy grouch (no name dropping, right?) got one thing right... UNTIL GM states CLEARLY otherwise, ALL else is just speculation. The advert I posted above SUGGESTS that the base is to start at 35K, but BECAUSE no trim is mentioned, one could assume that the base model will have a range of 319 miles. But its ambiguous. Shytty marketing execs have a way to change things up. But at worst, 15% jump in price ALSO means a 15% jump in range AT a MINIMUM over what was first told to us. But at best...250 mile range now is 319 miles. TESLA has promised at 30 000 dollar EV but has YET to offer ANYTHING remotely to that. Tesla discounts the Model 3 and Y but STILL the MSRPs of those dont touch the 30 000 dollar threshold even if it were something stupid like $39 995. They offer something like that, for about 24 hours and sporadically in that 24 hours and domne that maybe twice in the Model 3's 6 year existence. And supposedly, Tesla makes mucho profit on the Model 3 so one would think that Tesla could afford a small hit on offering a 35 thousand Model 3 or Y to upset the EV apple cart even further. But nope. GM promised us that too. BUT...They ALWAYS had the Bolt. The BOLT is coming back. AND...its not as IF the Equinox at AROUND 30K is NIXED. Just got a slight bump in price WITH something EXTRA and the MSRP is still in the 30 thousands. With the PROMISE of a SECOND 30 thousand EV in GM's line-up. PERSPECTIVE. But somehow Im thinking grouchy grouch's (no name dropping allowed) viewpoint is less about GM's decision and moreso about your stance on things. But your stance is justified as compared to what you think about Tesla's business practices-es.
