Sticking with my ‘01 Blazer with the Hanukkah* 4.3l Vortec. I don’t have the ability to work on it much myself, but the body-on-frame S-10 base means parts and knowledge are easy to find.

3rd Gear:

A V-12 with an exhaust manifold problem?  Gee, who would have guessed.

There were a lot of big loads being slammed into open beds....

China is going to find out what the US & EU already learned via their IMF & World Bank experiences: Africa is a money pit.

A picture of a pair of twats that have no friends and do not hono(u)r contracts answers your question quite definitively.

“Too big to fail” has become “Justice is too expensive”

In financial dealings, I’d rather have a contract than a friend.

Perhaps she hasn’t talked to her marketing and fuel standards people about the giant craters that used to be the entertainment, travel & fracking industries (among others). Huge segments of the economy that took decades to mature evaporated in a matter of weeks.  That doesn’t return quickly, especially when you are…

The notion that two parties can represent >300 million people is ridiculous. Each of the existing parties could easily split, and there would still be room for a 5th party. Very little of how Congress currently works is in the Constitution (like Senate Majority Leader), so there is a lot of room for a coalition…

IIRC, a sitting POTUS isn’t allowed to drive. I learned this from the “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” episode with Obama.

Don’t take delivery of a Celestiq if you are allergic to shitty cars.

There is a hidden cost to owning an EV: wiring up the garage in your house to handle the hi-speed charging station. (No, it’s not absolutely required, but do you want to be dependent on the availability of public charging stations?) Now, who has the house and money for that? The average Chevy buyer or Cadillac buyer?

That was also the same time the tax code was inverted, giving a strong preference to investment income over wages. Thereafter, “playing the market” become the smarter way to make money than actually working.

Meh.  His tax returns are full of lies, like everything else he produces.  His perpetual audits are really just a negotiation with the IRS about which lies they’ll accept.

Facebook is a great way for people to out themselves as gullible idiots and/or heartless assholes. It’s not a great way to establish brand integrity.

People don’t buy a 75k luxury SUV to not drive it, even if that ‘driving’ is just sitting in gridlock.  They were already scared of public transit before the shutdown, and things haven’t gotten any prettier.

It’ll be an incriminating selfie.

Shouldn’t your tenure here be measured in search engine hours?

I like the “dragging his kid” part.  The 27 year ‘kid’ was probably the one who came up with the whole instrument case smuggling scheme, and posed as one of the band members.
