Font Rectangle Circle Electric blue

 

Remember the saying one man’s trash is another man’s treasure? Same with jokes, especially now. People are just waiting to be insulted. Just like one man’s riot is another man’s protest. A protest is an insurrection. I remember one gathering with my mother in law and family. She was a democrat. The rest including her son  very wealthy business owner were not. She pulled out an article from people mag I believe. Saying all republicans were stupid. We were rolling on the floor. She was serious. She was embarrassed. Now just imagine if that was reversed. All the additives the republican would endure. There’s your difference.

You make a good point then go off on the political party crap.  There was a time in US where our culture, our politics, our religion was left aside to join together as citizens, where the constitution was for all. We never talked politics in USN when fighting the Iranians and trying to get the hostages out. We were just brothers who fought the enemy, each other, and had major differences but that didn't matter. Being American FIGHTING MEN was our bond. Later as an Army Pilot we displayed same Citizen and Country first, everything else second.  

 

Here's an ETC example that gets to the nitty gritty. Listen up if you want to hear what real americans do for each other.

Gesture Font Rectangle Stonemason's hammer Art

 

In 1993 my sister had jacket made that  had a beaver on the front chewing a log. On the back it said our name and treeeater service on the back. She gave to us a Christmas presents. I was in the airport coming home from a clearing job in Florida for the weekend. I hauled my equipment up. So it was the first time I was was wearing it in public. Being oblivious as usual I didn’t have a clue my jacket would be a trigger. I was tired from the quick turnaround not in a good mood. I suddenly realized I was drawing attention. A little hard of hearing I realized I’m being called a tree killer. I called the group a bunch of hypocritical MFers before I could catch myself. They were stunned as was I. Then I proceeded to say I perform a service where needed. And I’ll bet you all live a house built of wood. On property that’s clear cut. And you get electricity and fill your car with gas. That comes down a right of way that’s probably been cleared by me. Not to mention I’m down in your town removing trees on the side of your highway so your speed limits can increase. By the way those nice snickers your wearing came from China. Like I said before you are hypocrites. Some people actually clapped. The jacket now hangs in my closet next to a sweatshirt she had made the next year.

    • And how the Panthers platform is holding up on used cars, long after we die potentially 😜
    • Bro, you still got that truck? I'm not seeing any m rust or flaking, which rusted metal flakes. Everyone thinks the wax "is rusty" but it absorbs its surrounding environment, creating a hard, natural shell that you can literally shoot with a bullet and won't flake off. It'll last 50 years like that as long as the barrier isn't compromised by getting in a wreck or meets a chemical that disolves wax. My 09's frame is even duller looking than that, and is holding up better than my rockers or 3rd set of painted shocks. 
    • No.   That would be an LT and higher trim.  Passive entry.  There would be a little button on the door handle and you can program it to proximity lock or unlock.     WT and Custom do not get this feature.  
    • Mediocre, how much did they lose on the poorly conceived EV strategy?   I wonder how much the stock price is being 'inflated' by all the buy-backs?   Cadillac literally looks like a brand without a rudder, no clear goals or product direction - performance or luxury? I guess performance because we can throw a small block in whatever we can and call it a day. Certainly not luxury when a Denali or High Country is reasonably cross shoppable. The Celestiq - no way - no vehicle can command quarter million prices when something wearing the same badge is on the buy here pay here lot across town.   Notice the 'base' Escalade doesn't even come with the 'leather-appointed' seating surfaces.   Hummer EV - fail Silverado EV - fail Sierra EV - fail Bolt/Volt EV (The most successful EV cancelled, restarted, cancelled, whatever its current status it)   Hybrids - none Sedans - none Medium duty - not anymore Minivan - none Coupe - none Convertible - none CUVs - 20+/-   6.2 Recall that landed squarely on the GMs highest seller - and specifically the fattest margin higher trims of the Yukon, Escalade, et. al. The most critical product line they fumbled big time. In the Escalade segment, are those buyers forgiving GM for a bad engine and patiently waiting for the fixes and dealing with the headaches? Nope, they dump them and go straight to the other premium brands.   In the ENTIRE GM portfolio how many aspirational vehicles are there? Corvette, Escalade (quickly being superseded by the obvious better value Denali)...   I posted somewhere else... what if Cadillac left the luxury game and became a performance brand similar to AMG or (gasp) Ferrari? Cut all the entry-level and base models from their line up and focus on the V-series or Blackwing or whatever they call it now. Of course, those would have the pre-requisite luxury and technology as standard equipment. This opens the floor for Buick to step in/up as the luxury brand (like they are in China), no 'performance pretenses' get rid of the 'entry-level' models with equally 'entry-level' power trains and become the Maybach to Cadillacs AMG. With those two brands effectively out of the way Chevrolet, the 'entry-level' brand has the floor to itself and GMC can take over as 'professional grade'.    Now each brand has a focus, no in-fighting, clear direction, and customer targets.   Just need to sneakily slide Corvette into the Cadillac brand and dump the vestigial script writing.
    • I can't get enthusiastic about the 1.5T (or the 1.3 or the 1.2), I won't drive a CVT. But the stupid things sell in volume.
