The answer is that most Americans are piss-poor with their money. That’s why you see people like contractors or construction crew guys blowing 70k on a truck and probably another 100k on “toys” only to lose their jobs immediately during a recession, having saved nothing, only to unload all of it for pennies on the…

always wondered how it’s possible that I see so many brand new trucks and SUVs driving around. Most aren’t below $50k brand new and many are more like $70k.

Hope they have some ideas on improving this.

You could just have written about the confrontation but at the end you took things further and peppered in some practical advice on how to modify the vehicle to prevent this. The extra effort you put in is noticed and appreciated.

Finally somebody put some effort into a Chevy interior.

I mean...not gonna lie I’d totally love to see a President or candidate do some silly stuff with a car or motorcycle like this. I wanna hear a candidate say “I ran the Isle of Man TT” one day. :D

America’s flaming “gateway to hell” is called Phoenix
