Was it also Yamamoto who shortly after Pearl Harbor said "I fear we have awakened a sleeping giant."?

 

I thought he said Dragon.

You're calling me an idiot because I can think straight?

People with your attitude plus a gun is what worries me.

 

And to the "federal officer". No he did not start a gun argument thread.

You guys did.

 

so long

You fired up an argument in my thread....

 

And you not liking firearms doesn't equal superior thinking. I don't see why you need to insult us. Is this not just a discussion...

Hopefully just enough to avoid discouraging everyone from having and voicing differing opinions. This forum has always brought out good debates and they usually don't get too ugly. Don't fix it if ain't broke!

As gun owners we need to be aware who has access to our weapons. We need to teach our children weapon safety, and how important it is to respect weapons. Gun owners that have teens that are trouble makers, or that have mental health issues need to open their eyes and make sure their weapons, and ammunition are secure. A lot of parents are in denial about what their children are capable of until it is too late.

 

My mom's friend is a perfect example. This lady is a gun owner that lives in a bad area. The problem was she did not have her firearms secured, and her teenage son has been known to get into trouble. Well he made the fatal mistake of showing off the gun and shot himself in the head just a few weeks ago. This could have been prevented. It sucks that a few people who can't maintain positive control of their fire arms makes it tough on the rest of us.

I agree guns should be stored securely. And if your gun isn't and is stolen, you should be held accountable. Trigger locks and not on display. I know the trigger locks are easily broken. But it would stop children and easily preventable accidents.

How many last warnings will there be in this thread?

Why so quick to want to get rid of topics all of a sudden? If you don't see it, it's the same person that goes nuts when a firearm or anything hinting a firearm is mentioned.

Nothing really wrong here since MikeNH gave a warning.

I don't want to lock it I'm just wondering why everyone keeps saying last warning over and over.. Don't be so quick to jump people over your own assumptions all the time.

I missed the earlier warning post as I was just skimming the thread. Regardless folks have managed to have a civil discussion since then so it seemed to work. Clearly my Cartman avatar commands respect. Of my authoritiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. :lol:

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.

      Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.

      Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:

      The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
