Americans have been coached by the other side using that same premise for decades. Why does Big Oil think they know better than the public? See how that works or do you live in a world where one side is always right and the other side is always wrong? Maybe you should take some notes.

The other persons sarcasm sensor works just fine. Yours however, seems to be on the fritz as evidenced by your above response. Again, so “cerebral” lol. That’s sarcasm btw.

Then no one owes you squat, hence the hypocrisy of you having a tantrum over the downvotes you’ve received. And please don’t flatter yourself. You are a lot of things but cerebral is not one of them. Oh and next time, be a man and quote the entire statement and not just select words to conflate whatever “cerebral” argument you are trying to make. It’s as boring as the BMW.

lol! Okay. I live in Graham, which is a small town off I-85/40 between Greensboro and Raleigh. Some really good local breweries here though, ones that are surviving the COVID madness, that is. And Hendersonville is way out there (3-4 hours west of me). Had to tow a car three hours to a place right outside of town there. Very quiet and peaceful out there though. (Elon Musk hands joint to Ford Execs and says "F it! Just randomly change the engine on them when they pick a certain color!")

I do have something custom in mind for one wall (where my desk is) but reclaimed wood is a possibility for some of that as well. Thats where my woodworking guru cousin comes in lol. He comes into that stuff all the time and repurposes them. And insulation will go in as well since I'll be running separate heat and A/C when necessary.

True which is why I've never been been registered as a Democrat or a Republican. Just two different peas of the same pod. Don't live in Arizona anymore. Moved back to NC the end of last year. Hiding in the cave now since mother nature is being a little soggy today. Flash flood warning for the next five hours.

(Recalls your LONG history of downvotes without explanation and thinks maybe you need to pick better battles to fight, where you don't look like a hypocrite.) About the BMW, that exterior is absolutely hideous nonsense. Design wise, they jumped the shark years ago though.

Thanks Mr. Horse lol. Have looked at some local sources here (screw the big box stores on lumber right now) but its been slim pickings and the general cost is still high IMO. I do occasionally check the Habitat for Humanity Store near me and I check with my cousin constantly (he is a lifelong woodworker and carpenter). In the meantime, I had to add more outlets because the space only had one. I added two and will eventually add at least one more once I get everything in its final place. I am way more confident in my electrical skills than I am my woodworking skills anyway ?. This is pretty much my "Control Room" lol. Very nice. Wish I had that kind of skill when it comes to cutting and assembly. I'm pretty handy with the staining and such but the actual cutting has never been my strong suit though lol. Need to get the proper tools for sure.

Sorry for my part there. Just couldn't resist myself after certain folks just softballed it in like that lol. Been keeping myself busy too since I moved last month. My workshop/office/pseudo man cave has been getting a lot of attention over the last few weeks. Have to get some more plywood to finish the front wall. A shame the cost of wood right now makes it damn near a commodity.

Or how tens of thousands of folks, in a handful of deep red states, signed petitions to secede from the union in 2008 and 2012 when a black democrat became president and was then re-elected. We definitely saw how that worked out.

You misspelled looney “right”. It is also not mine to lend out, mostly because I’m not a snowflake nor do I associate with them.

So one might say that you’re looking for a “safe space”?

This is a sample of the photoshop fun I had with tree picture taking over the last few weeks.

The past week here, weather wise, has been damn near perfect. Today, a high of 79 and a light autumn breeze knocking around those leaves a bit. Tomorrow, crap. I will take today please. Edit: For the record, nights have been pretty awesome as well.

Yes, its been around 100 years yet infrastructure has only been around a few decades, with widespread adoption taking place only in there last decade. BIG difference there. $80K ICE Pick ups (like every loaded up HD out there), in general, aren't for everyday pick up owners. Meanwhile, all pre-orders for the 2021 Hummer EV are spoken for. Now we will see if GM can actually deliver on the promise.

What’s really nice is that you can fill up the Raptor at your home while you sleep, get 1000HP and go 0-60 in 3 seconds. Oh wait. That’s the Hummer EV. Just skip the part where that same company, Ford, is getting ready to release an EV F-150. Yeah, real ahead on the tech there, I tell you what.

It’s really not that hard to remember if you don’t have a certain blindness towards one kind of car. And as David pointed out, its not that hard to see hwy they did it in the first place and it has jack to do with “goodwill” or demand. It’s called being ahead of the competition when it comes to pricing. Besides, the initial prices on those were not committed numbers anyway.

So instead of saying “Hey. Wrong car. That’s a Buick”, you basically make it personal and insult him? I guess being a passive aggressive dyck just comes natural. Phoenix

Yeah, its a good thing Ford doesn’t offer massive discounts on their best selling models like the F-Series. Oh wait. It should be noted that they did not change the price of the GT model and most trims only dropped $1000. I’m sure those little facts don’t help your narrative that all EVs suck but there you have it.

Saw one of these at the dealership while the Flex was being serviced. Vanderhall Carmel (Autocycle). It’s like an Aerial Atom had a drunken baby with a Polaris Slingshot.

Dems didn’t have them but however, my a/c was not working at the time so big ass air bag size window shades were mandatory.

My old nimble MR2. Basically Drove like a Go Kart with a roof on it.

I’m certain for some folks, there is but honestly new cars are a terrible investment. There’s a reason why used car sales have taken off over the last decade or so. To each their own though. If someone wants to splurge $100K on a new car, more power to them. You only live once, after all.

*yawn* yourself hypocrite. Again, refer to your very first statement and admit that you were wrong. There is competition but you don’t want your mommy to pay slightly more for more power and more room. That’s really all you have to say instead of dancing around your mistake and making up endless excuses for it. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to go put an American flag on a Toyota Tundra. Hope that’s okay with you.

Not that this part matters (only what I posted at the bottom here), but so damn what? The Hyundai dealership nearest me has ONE base model Venue and it is cheap looking on every front. You talk about apples to oranges? The TB, while priced higher, looks better in every trim level (as opposed to the base model Venue I saw with its wheel covers, no wonder its “cheaper”). Like I said though, none of what you just pointed out matters because of the following below. For the last time, I quote, 22 hours ago, ocnblu said: Link please. To a domestic 2020/2021 competitor to the Venue. Yes it is, whether you want to admit it or not. Your sorry attempt at bar moving does not change this fact. Go ahead though. Go ahead and get one of the cheap ones here. I think I’d pay a little more for one that doesn’t look so “cheap”.
