I’m sure if anyone clicks NP, it’s only because their screen was covered in coffee from the spit take they did when they saw that price 😂

Totally…propane tanks are the one item that has a solid value of $30-40 regardless of age or condition.

Intel’s plant in Albuquerque/Rio Rancho helps prop up the local economy, so there’s precedent for them not being totally awful when it comes to jobs and hiring practices. Though I agree that it’s good to be skeptical about whether or not Columbus will be all that is planned right now. 

Motor Authority posted a photo of the white one at the press event that looks like it’s wearing 18” wheels (it’s a little hard to read that tire size but it’s def not the 20” that’s shown on the silver car). So it’s possible although still not ideal.

The Lexus LX actually has off-roading capabilities. No one is going to use it for that within the next 20 years, but it does have its place. 

Time for LS swap? 😉

I totally agree man. We talked about this before during the Oppo days, because I was 97% ready to buy a GX470. Ended up with a LR4.  I still have a soft spot for the GX but it was hard to find a good one for sale, since everyone wants to keep them :P

I’m not defending austerity! Spend the money! I’d love to pull 98% of the military’s budget away and spend it on programs that work. But I work for the government and know that’s not realistic. You’ve got to exist within the playbook you’re given and, within the playbook that we’ve been given to battle Covid, four…

Oh it’s totally stupid. I shouldn’t have to stalk Walmart’s website for the ten minutes once every few weeks that covid tests become available. But they just don’t exist so…🤷🏻‍♂️

I hear ya on that. It’s hard to get excited or offended or really feel anything about anything anymore. I was more annoyed at someone complaining with no real alternative; of course what’s happening isn’t good enough, but there’s nothing our government can do that would ever be good enough. 

Soooo….what’s your plan? Have White House interns hand deliver tests to people? Get the Army Corps employees to start manufacturing tests in-house? Arrest and force vaccinate the people who refuse to get the shot or forcibly remove them to remote locations?

I’m thinking about the physics of this, so everything being under tension probably makes things harder. Could you cut through the bolt and bushing (allowing the leaf & collar to be removed) and then notch into the remaining part of the bolt to, along with lube and heat, remove it?  Or worst case scenario: cut through…

Hotel doesn’t have to be the destination, but they’re often more ubiquitous along the road than restaurants or truck stops AND are usually deserted during the day. Customers paying $20 or whatever for some electricity is still more income than they’d have made otherwise. The fixed costs are the big ones for hotels;…

The hotel idea really is a good one that the article didn’t quite flush out clearly enough.

While accurate, I also had a full on panic attack and nervous breakdown in my car after my son was born 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nah, seeing a stuck part move imbibes excitement and a sense of success, not abject terror and anxiety about the upcoming 18 years. 

Except with New Orleans, the chance of it having been submerged under salt water is infinitely higher than (most) parts of Michigan.

That’s akin to selling grandpa’s old watch that he had since the 40s for $50, cause who’d want some old junk called “omega”. Must have been some cheap imported thing he got in the war. 

I’m helping a friend shop for a vehicle (a lady who really doesn’t care about cars other than wanting it to be a cute color) and was playing with a configurator. Got the car to come out to $32k, a lot but not bad all things considered.
