Well I did pay 32k out the door (more like finances) for a 2004 F-150 FX4 SuperCab with the V8 back in 2004. Nowadays it’s more like 50k with a similar configuration, before potential dealer discounts.  Lasted me 11 years and 211,000 miles. Lack of maintenance outside of oil changes killed it. I did replace spark…

How are you logging in?  

I haven’t watched any of them since the original one back in the 90's.  Now there’s only three Rangers?

I’ve seen it on the NFL Network.  I don’t know your local lineup, but in Houston it’s channel 600.

I have a Chevron card and that’s all I ever use.  It also works at Texaco.  They want to steal it, ok.  Where are you going to go?  Walmart?  Nope.  

It was ok. Overhyped for sure.

Haha, Musk.

Good morning all.  Hope your day is good and trouble free. 

I think we’re all in agreement that first year models aren’t for everyone. Some get good ones, some get the ones that were made on a Friday at 6 pm when someone wanted to go home. So is it ok to buy a first year model in 2019? Sort of. Reliability is up and some models that come stateside as new year model may…

Depends where you live.  Here in Houston, you won’t find low mileage 2-3 year cars.  Maybe the Carvana tower has some, but not used car dealers.  

Agreed.  I get nervous around construction zones because I don’t want the automatic braking to trigger and the car behind me being too close for comfort.  

Maybe it’s just me, but all cars I’ve driven that have automatic braking don’t seem to have a gradual braking feature. It’s brake hard and that’s it.  I know with my 2018 Accord with Honda Sense(less), I have to be more cautious when I drive construction zones with faded lane markers and construction lane markers.…

My wife can squirt. She squirts on me. Love it. But yeah, it smells like pee. 

Jeez, Jones doesn’t quit. Must be hard to spew the crap he does and and actually believe it. He was here in Houston not too long ago and was caught on tape yelling at a literal piece of shit. Apparently he was talking to it as if it was Beto O’Rourke. Weird. But you know what? The man makes money. Sad really.

My co-worker. We both work in IT. Now I do let this person do most of the phone work, but their attitude sucks. Hangs up at the end of calls....get the fuck off my line. Stupid questions, bunch of babies wanting their hand held. No one wants this person moving them or touching their computer. If I’m in the field …

Billionaires being cheap. They’re still asking the fans to pay a lot for the games and make us pay for their stadiums. On the other side, the days of overpaying superstar players is over.  Tearing down and rebuilding using analytics is in the now.  However I do think that a team like Seattle who almost had 90 wins…

2nd Gear. I guess I’m not looking hard enough, but what makes the cars unreliable?  Are the engines failing?  Transmissions?  Is the infotainment system crashing?  Backup cameras failing?  Rust?  To me, if the major issue is infotainment or TPMS, that’s not as severe as a transmission failing at 40,000 miles.  

I haven’t seen the first one all the way through, just bits and pieces, but I know that it was a massive hit and Elsa and Anna were everywhere you went for a year or so.  This movie has a lot to live up to.  

Masters of the Universe eh?  Hopefully it’s better than the one with Dolph Lundgren.  Also, younger audiences today most likely don’t know who He-Man is.  I loved it as a kid in the 80's.  That and Voltron.  

4th gear.  It’s not that his advisors don’t know what they’re doing, it’s that he doesn’t care.  It could be that they aren’t the best advisors of course, but even if they were top tier, he still wouldn’t care.
