Jesus dude what did pocket-tees ever do to you.

Denial of resources played huge role, and yea, Russian winter is a bitch haha. Didn’t help that the supply lines were overextended once winter hit.

You’re writing as if I am denying that fact that America was “largely responsible,” and I’m not. The administration did everything possible for as long as possible to aid the Allies while not running headlong into public opposition, and once it turned, that war would be won, one way or another. But to say it was just…

Yea when you have that many people it’s not the worst strategy, I guess.

Lend-Lease played a role, certainly, but the Reds were the ones ultimately doing the dirty work on the ground. The West wasn’t too keen on providing Stalin with all the materiel they could muster, but just enough to keep the Soviets and Nazis killing each other for some time.

Oh, absolutely, but that’s wider-scale than what we were discussing here.

We were discussing the Normandy landings, sorry if it was unclear.

Does it matter that the Americans were the most numerous individual nationality? I’m sure part of the issue is when people think of D-Day they think Omaha and that was the American sector. The fact that the vast majority of the transport and air cover was British is oft-overlooked though.

It is a double-whammy of inaccuracy, considering the British and Canadians together landed more soldiers than the Americans (although the Americans more than the British or Canadians individually) and the Red Army was pressuring Germany by 1943.

I mean, yes, but that was Nazi Germany haha

They were sold on certain aspects of the car, and when the car doesn’t meet those expectations, of course the buyers were going to be pissed. In any case, not like these cars are as easy to work on as they once were.

I never said advantage, specifically, but they are required to spend a certain % of the funds in those communities, which was my comment on providing a public service the state won’t pay for.

I get that what VW did was wrong, but why should they be responsible for specifically aiding disadvantaged communities? It’s basically asking them to provide a public service the state wants but won’t pay for.

Yep actually, swung by but a long time ago. I guess because I think Texas and Massachusetts are super different but still both part of the U.S., I still group Sicily with Italy.

It would be good in the future to not spend about 75% of your article discussing how you are actually Italian then misspell the Italian verb for driving.

Jeep Grand Wagoneer, one of the later models. They’re great, the seats are comfortable, you can fit a good amount of material/people in the back, and you generally look awesome.

Motherfucker I know this offramp; it often backs up more 1mile+. Tons of people cut that line routinely.

I think there’s a a difference between a “classic” and a collectible. Few people think it’s cool to own a vehicle notorious for combusting.

Black Audi in China usually indicates government official of some type. Probably just didn’t feel like moving his car and figured he wouldn’t get in trouble.

Ok, that’s enough, I can no longer stand Marchionne. He can get away with all the absurd stuff he says, basically because oil prices and the resulting Jeep/truck surge are buoyed FCA’s sales figures, while the rest of it relatively flounders. That being said, I don’t know if electrification is the answer, but then…
