  1. Geos were horrible attempts at economy vehicles. I'm all for economy vehicles but not by using slap dick efforts with low engineering input resulting in POS vehicles that look like a Homer Simpson design.
  2. I can agree with the bulk of your take, but I'm grateful for any and every option that focuses on affordability, function, and isn't part of the technology infusion size increasing space race to stupidity and cost.
  3. Hah! Get off my lawn!!! I'm with you, and while they're adding all this bullshit the sizes are growing exponentially. Remember when a Suburban seemed like a fucking behemoth of a fucking vehicle in the 80s and early 90s?
  4. Good article in broad strokes, but for a real comparison it should have included the Mazda B series trucks. Remember when Mazda made affordable small trucks, admittedly with Mitsubishi engines for the majority of the time? I do too.
  5. It was and Ford did a good job imo. (Sans call backs) Consumer demand fucked it up, ironically. Supply couldn't meet demand, and the new Ranger decreased Ford's interest in it. But did Japan, Korea or other US manufacturers enter that market? Sadly, no. I think in large part because the truck market started shrinking, iirc.
  6. Ive been wondering for year wtf they haven't. Fucking Aussies get all the cool cars we don't. And really, Toyota could go back to making a basic god damn Taco. Stereo, AC, roll down windows, extended bed, 2 seater use an existing great engine. But no, because its not electric, dammit.
  7. Older Ford Ranger. Things run forever and re-manufactured, warrantied crate engines run about 4k from AutoZone. Ranger Crate Engine This is a quick search first thing I found in a Nashville "suburb". Lots of examples like this. Tacos are spendy cause market demand for an off roader exists still. or in many states you can just get a $5-10k SxS not have to worry about charging it and actually be able to drive it off road and use in on your land UTV
  8. Yeah, living in Chicago for 10 years you run into a ton of Packers fans. The broadcaster in that video is pretty much on par with a Packer fan personality. In limited exposure the hard core, dedicated Fandom of Packer folks is interesting and only midly annoying. Extended exposure to multiple Packers becomes very frustrating pretty damn quick. I'm happy for Golden. If he performs well he will be truly adored and loved, which is cool as a player. Still don't care for those fans in broad spectrum.
  9. Part of me is curious for the aggie lulz and the other part of me doesn't want to know what he said because stupidity rage.
  10. Still wood Britney for the record...
  11. But Anthony was standing on the ground, so "Stand Your ground" should absolutely apply in this case. -Chainsaw probably
  12. Well, it probably belongs in game nerd thread but completely disagree.
  13. They know surrender means a lot of ongoing torture and death for a long time.
  14. Fixed amigo. I'd put the weekday 3 am folks from a Waffle House against the North Koreans if paired with the Ukrainian military all day, every day.
  15. Well, another big other factor is location and what the person who is shot was doing prior. Inside a home, in Texas all bets are off. Breaking into that person's car, all bets are off. Attempting to rape a woman, and she pulls a gun, self defense. Group of people that aggressively approach an individual(s) trying to start a fight, could qualify as self defense. Two jackasses getting into it in a bar then one pulls a gun.... almost never self defense.
  16. Or the protestor who gets right in someone's face, swats their phone from their hand and then when that person pushes them away, starts yelling assault at the top of their lungs. Way to many examples of entitlement stupidity, sadly.
  17. Its a silly distraction to take a breath before returning to the world burning down.
  18. Sure, he's a dick. The ongoing Johansson hate is the wtf that I was trying to amusingly "logic" out.
  19. Tractor Supply Co and Lowes/Home Depot for anyone in the south outside a major city. Walmart/Costco would be the main stays for all the major cities across the US for toilet paper and sodas.
  20. He owns a football club, big foodie, super fit and has a sense of humor. Who fucking wouldn't?!?! (Aside from ScoJo of course)
  21. The actor is much more petite and less muscular than the game character which is contrary to the character's intense fight training as well which I find annoying. Game nerd spoilers:
  22. Whoa... I see the parallel you're drawing but the Wire had one of the broadest, most interesting cast of character and actor arches of any show, ever. "It's in the game!" "You come at the king you best not miss." "Sheeeeiiiit!" "You play in the dirt. You get dirty." "A man must have a code." "How's my hair look."
  23. Well, based on all the information that has come out regarding Blake in recent months, I'm sure behind the scenes she's an absolute pleasure to share a life with day to day. Most of us have had a wife, and if not there is a wives thread on Surly for examples. Perhaps Ryan inaccurately holds Scarlett accountable for the predicament he has found himself in, compounded by the fact that he's married to a vindictive control freak. I'm in no way defending him, just trying to find logic as to why Scarlett Johansson sticks in his craw so bad and that quite possibly rubs off on Ryan's lovely wife as well. Based on my limited knowledge Scarlett Johansson is apparently a fairly decent human. If I were forced to pick between them, which is fairly likely given my celebrity status and amazing looks/intelligence/charm/money I know who I'm choosing.
