johnnydoom We got good money trading in the Jeep. I wanted to sell it myself, wife was afraid to. Truck we got was a bit more than I wanted to spend but the extra trade money and the fact that it’s a CPO vehicle sealed it. Being CPO it required new Brembo brakes all around and brand new Pirelli Scorpion tires. Almost $5000 right there.

    I guess it's back to stealing cars for a good joyride.......not as much fun though....

      Kamala Harris Says Buses Are Made “So People Can Get Where They Need To Go!”

      There was a news report on TV last week that said a local school district bought 4 new electric school buses for $400k each. A new diesel bus costs $150k.

          azgreg Do the battery factories run on air? Are the batteries made from air?

              Bravopilot Batteries alone are an issue for the earth

              Yep. So are vehicles. 🤔

                Bravopilot my issue is the flat out hypocrisy of those who are promoting electric vehicles. They claim the vehicles are better for the planet, yet they completely ignore the fact they the mines pulling the materials out of the ground in some 3rd world country are using worn out internal combustion engines. They ignore the fact that there are very few battery recycling plants for those batteries, or that when they catch fire, the fumes from those fires are polluting more than the standard gas or diesel truck.
                Let alone that California is trying to mandate electric vehicles all the while not having the infrastructure to support the charging of said vehicles.

                    Walterjn while not having the infrastructure to support the charging of said vehicles.

                    They will have. After they initiate the tax on electric consumption for electric vehicles. I mean, after all........🤔, it's California.

                      No. Are there any more stupid ass questions you'd like to ask?

                          azgreg so, where do they get the materials for said batteries? How do they get them? Where does the electricity to charge them come from?? We sure don't have that many nuclear power plants.

                          Now if they can perfect small nuclear power plants and we can all use those to power vehicles, I'm all for that. I just don't see that happening any time soon, or in my lifetime.

                              The batteries are dirty, no denying that. Both in production and in disposal. With that being said vehicles that run on fossil fuels have a bigger carbon footprint than electric vehicles over the life of the vehicle and it's not even close.

                                  Walterjn We got 8” of rain the other day and on the news they showed a parking lot in town at a restaurant. The only 3 cars stranded were all electric. Rivian, Hummer, Lightning.

                                      Typhoon my next door neighbor loves to mess with tesla owners. He says he'll race them and win. They say ok, he says, finish line is Oregon border. They look disgusted and walk away.

                                        Well, after millions of complaints, PayDay candy bars are getting a name change because it's offensive to those that do not work.

                                        Usually leave the house at 7:15, get to my first stop around 8:40. Today I left at 8 and got to my first stop at 8:35.

                                          Not sure why, but this thought just popped into my head.

                                          Gal Gadot is stunning, but she does not pack as much jiggle as Kate Upton.

                                            johnnydoom Gal Gadot is stunning, but she does not pack as much jiggle as Kate Upton.

                                            IIRC when she was announced to play WW some were upset that she did not pack as much jiggle as Lynda Carter either. I think they're all easy on the eyes 😁

                                              johnnydoom but she does not pack as much jiggle as Kate Upton.

                                              Problem with her is that she jiggles in a lot of places. 😝

                                              With Gal, you gotta shake that ass to jiggle it!! 👍

                                                I suppose it was a long study, but today's headlines state that..... 'Breathing Oxygen Linked to Staying Alive'.

                                                Study was done by the same group of brilliant minds that has discovered that bridges were built to cross rivers.
