A bit off-track. Some overwatch groups already use a fee-based system. And it only means that they are paying to run the lab, not own or control the lab.

Beautiful. Sarcastic, and 100% true.

Interesting take, but since you love to bash anything related to the new Government, nothing new.

Well, to me, they’ve gone from boring to downright ugly. Heinously ugly. But that seems to be the new front end ‘thing’ these days. Fake grille, huge air dam.

Only part-way tongue-in-cheek. There’s no conceivable reason for me to have a third row of seats in my life. But real reason to put a dishwasher in there, or floor paneling. 

Pass... First, what’s the LOWEST price on one? First thing is I would rip out the third row, cause, make it like an SUV. Second, I am not rich by any means, and all that electronic distraction trash just adds to the price. Basically, you just reviewed everything I don’t want, don’t like, and won’t pay for.

Seriously, the Focus is NOT a sports car.

The part that got me about that poster was the simple fact that Carrie showed a lot more leg than she ever did in the film. I notice things like that. I like legs.

I’ve been interested in this, um, car, sort-of, since I first saw one. But how can they lose 52 million if they aren’t making anything? Don’t you have to actually be doing something to lose that much cash? Like making cars, maybe.

Video game hookup?

I agree, even though I’m a Chevy fan.

I don’t know... if they made a World of Tanks edition, I’d seriously look.

With FCA’s issues right now, the owner of that dealership is probably dancing and laughing. Instead of giving them away with thousands in incentives, he gets to write off the insurance for the entire price. I think he’ll make more money than selling them.

1st... For me, I’m just waiting to see what all is going to come down from on high this next year or so. A new President with a completely different attitude from anyone we’ve ever had. Upheavals in industry, the economy, and the war. How is everything going to shake out? Then I might look at that new Chevy.

While your whole statement is true, simple advances in tech, coupled with cheap overseas labor, is responsible for our attitude. I worked on computers when they were the size of a Buick. I worked on PCs when they cost $14,000. Then, it was worth fixing them. Techs today don’t even know what a chip-puller or a…

And yet, they quit making them, to replace it with an overpriced, bloated squishy tank full of gizmos.

In a perfect world, that wouldn’t happen... but our world is far from perfect. We have gotten so lenient, and willing to make such deals, that in some states, the “life” sentence for first-degree murder is down to seven years.

Sounds complicated, but sounds like you figured it out. Here in western NC, you just have one plan... pay or they cut it off. We’ve looked into solar, but our electric bill is around $35 a month, and the ROI is almost infinite.

While I think lethal injection is okay, my big question is always; “Why are we being so nice?”. There are people on death row for raping and butchering teenage girls. I could really give a crap if they suffer.

Where is this? We don’t have ‘off-peak’ rates... just rates.
