I’ll get this part out of the way first. Yes, I work for a oil company. Yes, I believe in climate change. Yes, I believe that we need to take action.

1st Gear:  That’s a bummer.  I’m waiting on a Camry Hybrid that should have been built on 5/19.  I should call and check on it.  The real bitch is, we’ve been waiting on a RAV4 Hybrid for the wife for what feels like forever.  Sounds like we’ll be waiting even longer.

Glad you are enjoying it.  They’re good little trucks.  Some people complain about the seat height.  I’m 6'5" and have a ‘13 Reg Cab 4x4 Tacoma.  I have to shoehorn my tall fat ass into it, but once I’m in, there’s plenty of space.  I used to be a fan of small car’s, too.  Hell, from the time my kids were born, up…

Netflix always lets me down.  I get into one of their shows, then they cancel the damn thing!

Dude, for real!!!  I live in an oil town and also work in the fields.  The Bro-Dozer mindset is nuts!

Why? Don’t hate

I think ‘25-’27 is a bit optimistic. I also think that this high demand that we’re seeing is going to fizzle out quickly. The people that want them are very loud about it. I don’t think that the vast majority of people are ready for one, or even want one. So many automakers are setting these goals of being all…

Damn, that’s ugly!!! It’s the automotive equivalent of a butterface. Strangely enough, I want one.

As a fan of funky cars that daily drives a C-HR, NP all day!

Neutral:

One article said it was an accident. How do we know all the other articles you found weren’t just coming up with their own narrative? It’s not like the media only recently became dishonest. I want to hear more about the shitty situation of climbing into a septic tank. Did he at least wash the dentures, before putting…

Take her, she’d love it!

Yeah, I’m on a weird 5-5-4 12hr schedule.  All my shifts are either 5 or 4 days long, same with my days off.  It’s just a little reg cab Tacoma that I’ve been putting way too much time and money into.  Kids are all out of the house and my wife doesn’t like wheeling or camping, so I sold the trail whale of a Tundra…

I tried, it’s not working.  Let’s see yours! 

I tried, it’s not working :(

Friday?! This is my Monday.  That’s ok, I’ll be taking Monday and Tuesday off and won’t have to go back to work until Monday, the 18th.  During that time off I get to pick my pup up.  He’s been in a board and train program for a couple of weeks.  The rest of the time off, him and I are going to go on a few hikes and…

It kills me inside to read/hear stories like this. I was born and raised in the SF Bay Area, by very open minded parents. Some of my friends were gay, trans, or just plain confused and hadn’t figured it out yet. Just as many of my friends had brothers, sisters, or even parents that were the same. None of us in our…

Oh, by all means, there’s some BS involved! Between stock buybacks and making sure investors get a bigger piece of the profits. The majors are screwing with us peons, too, that actually get it out of the ground and process the oil/gas and put it down the pipeline. The majors have not been too kind with this round of…

Exxon lost over $20B, in 2020, so your funny story is fake news. A big part of most oil companies making record profits in 2021 and 2022 is because of lack of capitol expenditures. Shit got real in 2020, companies went under and people lost their jobs. So, yeah, when demand picked back up, they weren’t in a hurry to…
