They aren’t “cooled”, just ventilated. So they are only as cool as the cabin. GM got rid of the real A/C seats after 2015.

Not much at 15k except oil change and tire rotation...usually runs me $60-80 depending upon what promotions they run. Wiper blades are the only other thing listed, if you need them. But I would buy better ones on Amazon instead. GM has downgraded the blades from the beam blade on the last generation to the cheesy looking spring arm design. No longer worth buying them from GM.

Some people just aren’t ready to hear anything like that. May never be. And why would they when their political agenda is being fulfilled? Still funny how every “coincidence” lately benefits one party.

Yeah, I think I’m finished leading these horses to water. They only turn around and piss in it. Look forward to seeing the responses shortly after the election when hydroxychloroquine magically becomes a widely accepted therapeutic for COVID-19. Maybe some folks will chose to stand in solidarity with Fauci and decline being treated with it. After all, he’s never led anyone astray before. ?

“Who has disagreed with him are those who don't even understand the science but who have political or monetary skin in the game. Forum experts and allot of scared people.“ Those are your words. I took it as you attempting argue everyone who disagrees with Fauci falls into one of those groups and there’s no other reason to question him. So I presented someone VERY well respected and of great credentials who disagrees with Fauci. Dr. Risch does NOT have apparent political or financial motivations, does have an understanding of science (325~ scientific journals), and is not a forum expert. He doesn’t fit into your box and makes a very good case for hydroxychloroquine. It’s unfortunate but we can’t have the conversation without getting political. Fauci is being used as a political tool. He’s high profile and well respected, but also remember where he comes from. The swamp. People in Washington are not retained or promoted based on their knowledge or capabilities. If you don’t believe that, look no further than Biden getting the Dem nom. I’m not saying he’s a know-nothing, but Fauci is being placed on a higher pedestal than the results of his efforts should allow. And the only reason this is happening is because he publicly butts heads with Trump. In the meantime, a potential cure is getting pushed aside in the name of this political theatre.

Really? So this guy here, you’re claiming he’s a right winger? A professor from Yale? Really? Or are you claiming he has money to be made from promoting a treatment that costs like a buck per dose? Or are you claiming he’s not a scientist even though he’s actually more accredited than Fauci (both an MD and PHD). https://medicine.yale.edu/profile/harvey_risch/ https://www.newsweek.com/key-defeating-covid-19-already-exists-we-need-start-using-it-opinion-1519535 This article has gotten no traction at all. And it’s not because of the credibility of the info or the sources. I wonder who has actually been propped up and used as a political tool? Fauci, because he’s at odds with Trump. And is it entirely unbelievable that saint Fauci might also be in the back pocket of pharmaceutical companies too? That he might have a reason for brushing off a treatment that’s almost free in favor of a big bucks vaccine?

Other doctors made a presentation with their experiences about treating COVID-19. The video was viewed 20 million times before YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Vimeo pulled it down. This is not the first instance of this happening. Now no, Fauci didn’t remove it himself, but at points the doctors in the video disagreed with Fauci, and low and behold, the powers that be removed it. Is that the definition of science and medicine now? Only allowing one point of view (his) as it pertains to a fairly new virus? And having every other hand selected “expert” going through the mouthpiece of ONE PERSON rather than attempting their own research? That sound smart to you?!? Scientific??? To me it sounds lazy. Sounds like a single point of failure and a quick way to get absolutely nothing done. Fauci for all of his credentials is not infallible and should not be the only person allowed to weigh-in on life changing policy and health decisions. I cannot believe the complete lack of curiosity coming from people I know to be intelligent.

We are in conditions for which half the country is afraid to speak their minds. When they do, they either get censored, fired, or they get a mob at their doorstep. There’s even a chance of being killed at this point. Nobody wants to honestly answer a pollster about who they approve/ disapprove of, whether it be Fauci, Trump or anyone else. They didn’t in 2016 and thus the polls were wrong. Well, the environment is only harsher today than it was then. I don’t know what you’re bitching about anyway. Save for whatever Trump says, Fauci has been operating with impunity. And he continues to influence every single public policy created for this virus. He’s basically king. Unelected, unaccountable and any dissent from his point of view gets deleted from the internet. ?

Couple more.

1966 442, 2 door hardtop. Repainted in the original ocean mist metallic with pearl white interior. Not a numbers matching car so I am taking plenty of liberties to do it how it want. Engine is a 1965 olds 400. (65-67 are the 400s to have, short stroke, forged cranks. In 68, olds moved to a smaller bore and longer stroke in order share cast cranks with the 455.) Engine is .060 over with a lumpy Engle cam, roller rockers, MSD billet distributor, quick fuel 750 carb, mini starter, 1 wire alternator. Period correct Offy 360* intake and offy valve covers. Running later model olds “C” heads which flow the best. Currently have late model exhaust manifolds due to clearance issues I had with headers. At some point I will have to find some that will work because I know the manifolds are a slight bottleneck. Trans is Muncie M22 with Centerforce clutch and McLeod hydraulics, no more Z bar. Rear end is just a ten bolt with 3.73 posi. I suspect it will not survive very long with the drag radials but I am way over budget as it is. 67+ dual master cylinder with Baer C4 Corvette disc brake front conversion. Interior has been restored basically stock with Autometer gauges and a tilt column. I have re-wired every single inch of the car with a harness adapted from 64-67 Chevelle, including a modern blade fuse box. Think that’s the gist of it. All that’s left is some interior trim/ back seat, bleeding the brakes, installing the front clip, cooling system and the forward lighting harness. Once it’s close to curb weight I will need to measure for a driveshaft and hopefully be on my way.

Yup, 3800 was the best. We had the first iterations of it in three Toronados (1988, 1990, 1992) and a 1990 Bonneville. The 92 was my first car. Only thing we ever had any problems with were the ICMs that sat under the coil packs...failing without warning. Stranded me once and my dad once. Easy n cheap part to replace at least. The mechanicals of the engine would absolutely never die, nor would the 4T60 trans. Not rocket ships but very torquey engines. Knew some guys who got some really good power out of the L67s with smaller pulleys, headers and a tune.

Thanks, if there’s any bright side to all this it’s that I’ve been able to get a ton of stuff done on it. Decent chance it’ll be cruising in the fall.

YouTube, Google, Facebook and Twitter canned the “frontline doctor presentation” yesterday, so I give that guy’s video even less time to live on the internet. Unless there’s some kind of Biden endorsement buried in it. ?

Another thing that has been going on for two model years now.

I’ve seen a few people go to the hardware store and grab plastic hole plugs to snap into the antenna hole in the trim piece. Looked good. Amazon also has kits with various sizes that will likely work. I just run the shorty cuz I do need some AM reception at times.

The cameras are in different locations for each style of mirror. Towing mirrors have them in the base on the door. Normal mirrors have them out further under the mirror itself. When the mirror styles are swapped, the image stitching gets screwed up and distorted. Truck would need to be re-flashed to make it work correctly and dealers are unwilling/ unable to do that.

You know I like giving you a hard time. But you can round the numbers for children way up or way down. A 0.00% mortality rate won’t change much no matter what you do. Ironically, your own idiom about not hiding bodies would also apply here. If we can’t hide em...well, I don’t see ‘em, you don’t see ‘em, safe to say they don’t exist? What serious person can look at all of the evidence/ studies/ stats for schools and school aged children and conclude we need to close for a year? It would be as bad as me saying the virus didn’t exist at this point. Maybe I’m way off base here but it just makes no sense at all and I’m left to think it’s simply political. Because it sure ain’t rational.

Okay genius...the numbers generally have only gotten fudged in one direction, up. You and I both know that. The reason the stats are compelling and likely very accurate with children is easy. Since very few kids die of any causes, (let alone COVID), there’s no bodies to hide and no numbers for anyone to fudge in this case. Obviously kids aren’t dying of heart attacks or getting into motorcycle wrecks while infected with COVID-19 and being counted as a COVID death. What we see is what we get. Here’s some reading material from sources you have quoted as gospel in the past but now reject when it doesn’t match YOUR motives. It all indicates your beliefs on schools, kids, teachers (and your analogies) are stupid and wrong. And no, I’m not cherry picking articles or stats here. These are from every imaginable source and I could have posted at least three times more. Including some opinion articles from the WAPO and NYT of all places. In other words, everyone knows the obvious here. Except you apparently. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/schools-childcare/reopening-schools.html https://www.healthychildren.org/English/health-issues/conditions/COVID-19/Pages/Return-to-School-During-COVID-19.aspx https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.20.20108126v1 https://services.aap.org/en/news-room/news-releases/aap/2020/pediatricians-educators-and-superintendents-urge-a-safe-return-to-school-this-fall/ https://www.pasteur.fr/en/press-area/press-documents/covid-19-primary-schools-no-significant-transmission-among-children-students-teachers https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/07/200710100934.htm https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-06-schools-evidence-kids-coronavirus.html

Because they disagree with you, I know you’re doing your best to ignore the same sources you’ve been pounding the table with for 3 months. But you should really read the studies on school-aged children and child to adult transmission. If you did, you’d see that the IED analogy is the only thing that should be in the dictionary as a gross exaggeration. That is, unless this particular IED only gave the bus driver a head cold and none of the children were harmed at all. Then you’re close to the Covid-19 reality.

I don’t think the MLB season survives the week. Just on logistics alone, no time to make up these postponed games in a shortened season without dumping double-headers on said teams.

I totally reject the premise, so no, life isn’t a reason to keep schools closed. It’s actually a reason to open them. All this talk of common sense and yet you want to throw millions of healthy kids under the bus to protect a number I could count on one hand. Even if it were necessary, why not make special accommodations for only those who need additional protection instead? Oh yeah. Forgot. Doing that wouldn’t inflict misery on everyone for the benefit of Joe Biden.

If you don’t use it, you lose it. That’s why I’m not asked to help with homework. ? What’s worse is forcing kids to “lose it” for no reason whatsoever. Period. Even Mayo Clinic would have to acknowledge that. As I said, pick whatever study you want, none of them suggest leaving kids out of school for any length of time is the right thing to do. None of them even suggest there’s a moderate risk to teachers, let alone the kids. This is why people’s frustration is palpable.

And this one actually negatively affected children. Still no widespread or long term school closures. Interesting, no?

You’re right, the liberal justification for keeping the schools closed is not about the kids. Or the teachers for that matter. If it was, there wouldn’t even be a question to open them. Myself and everyone else in the world knows that’s the right thing to do. The studies aren’t ambiguous, read one. Any one of them. And stop calling them cases. They are positive test results, nothing more. A case to me would at least imply having symptoms, and maybe even requiring medical care. The people who feel just fine but visit the drive thru test out of curiosity (or to get off of work for two weeks) are NOT cases in my view. And there’s a LOT of these people. It may be splitting hairs but I see it as deliberate fear mongering nonetheless.

I dunno, my ‘19 still does it all the time. When I lock it, when I unlock it, even when I open the tailgate. I guess if I were you, I wouldn’t worry about it if the truck is starting and running fine. It certainly wouldn’t with a dead fuel pump.
