  1. Give credit where credit is due. That’s a lot juice for such a small motor.
  2. The pinball game rocked! Haven’t played it in ages though.
  3. Lol. Not watching that dumpster fire either.
  4. Hope you didn’t get your knees dirty.
  5. Nice cherry picking there. Want to try that with their CUVs now? Actually, I’ll take care of it. Here’s the explanation straight from Mercedes themselves. https://www.mbhuntington.com/mercedes-benz-model-names-explained/ just sayin’, glass houses man. Glass houses.
  6. What do you mean? Cadillac and the lack of names or Mercedes never having names?
  7. Big talk about naming schemes when your favorite brand has used a hodgepodge of different lettering schemes for decades now. Not disagreeing about Cadillac dumping names for letters but let’s keep things in perspective here.
  8. ...... Thanks for playing. And 1000HP in a car on American roads is just dumb.
  9. And seriously? 1000HP is what you need? To each there own but that makes zero sense in this country unless you own a race track with two mile straightaways.
  10. Not under any circumstance. I will never let skynet drive for me lol.
  11. I know I pull no punches on the subject matter but I think once folks start talking about glorified concentration camps and a police state, that’s where it starts to cross the line. I was just thinking about that very thing. I would be up $h! creek if I still had my old Talon TSI (or any of the seven other manual cars I’ve owned over the years). Bought one of those steering knobs to make it easier but the green turtle (my old RAV4) is pretty easy to drive without it. Just playing the safe route for now because I still have two more weeks in this sling and several months of physical therapy.
  12. That goes both ways. Just because YOU say it doesn’t make it so and I got news for you on this. The facts, the law, and the constitution are not on your side here. Go ahead and send the military to shoot unarmed “foreign invaders” (they are not, no matter how many times you spit that BS) and lay out some land mines. See how that works out. (That was full on sarcasm btw) It has been very clearly laid out by others and myself why your suggestions are utter BS. You are not as educated as you think you are and your last few posts have proven that hand over fist. We shouldn’t and he doesn’t. His words are almost straight lifted from far right wing extremist websites and their supported propaganda. Like yesterday, I’d up vote this a thousand times but alas, I’m out lol. Im thinking this conversation has probably run its course but that’s just my opinion. Back to some pool therapy for me. Peace.
  13. It’s amazing how you keep repeating the same thing with different words yet the result of all three points remain the same. The constitution and federal and international laws prohibit everything you have mentioned. It’s just that simple. Your changing of the words does not change these facts.
  14. Tell that to Dwight above. And while the market hasn’t taken a nosedive, it has effectively remained flat for the last year and a half. Not one trade deal has been ratified, no N. Korea deal (despite his promises that there was one), still no infrastructure deal (even though there have been several bills put up by democrats), more arms sold to our “friends” Saudi Arabia, no Iran deal with the threat of war (that’s what he gets for being Jon Bolton), etc. He is lucky the economy is holding up right now because everything else has been a $h! show.
  15. As far as employers of illegals go, the solution is far simpler. E-Verify. Make it federal law that all employers use this. No stupid raids necessary.
  16. Again @dwightlooi, all are against several international laws all run affront of the US constitution. Maybe your K-12 education didn’t cover those basic facts but they are in fact, facts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act Regarding the idiotic use of land mines (and I honestly can’t believe that this even has to be explained) https://www.un.org/disarmament/convarms/landmines/ https://www.hrw.org/news/2014/10/03/united-states-landmine-policy-questions-and-answers
  17. Thanks. I still have four months or so before I’m totally recovered (according to my doctor today anyway) but not being to drive the past month has literally been driving me insane. This is at least a step in the right direction. On a side note, on way home from the doctor I spotted a dark gray CTS-V wagon with the tag that read “1 BD WAGON”. I have to say I agreed with that tag 100%. That is a bucket list car for me.
  18. All three are 100% unconstitutional and to even suggest such things is agreeing to becoming a police state under military rule. Baffling how that simple concept escapes the extremist mindset.
  19. No. The point also, according to Trump, was to get those jobs back to the US. This does not hurt Mexico as much as it will hurt us. Fun fact. Migrant detentions in Mexico increased over the last two months, long before Trumps empty threat.
  20. One month after shoulder surgery and I’ve finally been cleared to drive. I have never been so happy about something so small in my entire life.
  21. It’s funny how a nation that prides itself on free markets and capitalism has people wanting to set the exact opposite policies and laws, forgetting that it’s a world economy now.
  22. That’s a fair point but maybe someone can confirm the profit margin on the Envision. Bear in mind that Buick sells far more in China than here so the margins probably aren’t the issue as much as it just makes sense to have them made where they are in the highest demand.
  23. It was trolling and I’m not going to argue with you over it. Moving on. And these tariffs will will not bring back jobs for reasons dfelt already covered. Besides Trumps reasoning for the Mexico tariffs was because of immigration. His jobs remark was secondary and useless since if you take jobs away from Mexico, then logic would dictate that more of their people will try to come here, directly contradicting the point of the tariff in the first place.
  24. Oh that’s right. Clothing gets spared tariffs even though our textile industry, an industry I worked for four year during the 90s, took the biggest hit from cheap China made goods after the implementation of NAFTA. Guess who gets all of their clothing made there? Hint* it rhymes with Itanka and Ronald. https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5b42a597e4b09e4a8b2e72c3/amp Funny. You are the only other person to bring up the horror show that was the 1930s. I wish some other folks would open their eyes to the parallels of today and that era and see what a disaster truly looks like.
