  1. Looks like the base Maverick hybrid is under $30k? That's not a bad deal at all.
  2. And you can use deadly force to protect yourself from home invaders. Hey, all of you "the 2nd Amendment is our last line of defense against an authoritarian government" types.....where are you these days? This is your fucking moment, this is what you've been waiting for. How come you aren't all over the internet and airwaves, advising people on the proper weaponry to acquire to protect themselves and their homes from a lawless authoritarian regime? Wait....what's that? Your whole schtick presumed that all of the homes being invaded belonged to lily-white "real" Americans, brown people need not apply? Huh. I must have missed that footnote. What font size was it in?
  3. I know you wrote that ironically. But it's not ironic. Yech. Also, what we REALLY need is a nationwide fleet of these BAMFs:
  4. Problem: those countries will follow our lead, and not be particularly receptive to people coming from "shithole countries." Such as the US.
  5. Agree. Hell, I'm urban and a good example of that. 95% of my driving is commuting and/or other driving within a city. But for that 5%....I have to go to court in far-flung counties, I go hunting and fishing in the sticks, etc. In other words....driving where I am uncomfortable relying on an electric charge alone. Being able to run on gasoline is necessary. Maybe someday it won't be (when there is adequate charging network/infrastructure, even in West Possum Dick, Texas).
  6. You don't get to opt into that system without being at material risk of things unfolding exactly as they will in such systems. TLDR: FAFO.
  7. That's really the question. It really only works in an urban or dense suburban area (read: not long distances). It has a real place in that environment, but in the US, is that enough to support an entire vehicle platform? Because you won't sell a single one to anyone living in Elgin, or Marble Falls, etc. And certainly not any place in the real hinterlands. Shit, Houston might be too big for it.
  8. I said it before, I'll say it now, because we all KNOW that a conviction, even a prison sentence, is no bar to destiny: Y'ALL NEED TO WATCH WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT ONE OF OUR FUTURE PRESIDENTS. Tell me how he is LESS suitable for the office than the current occupant?
  9. Yeah. Just skip ahead to the last page. Lots of preliminaries, lots of "will it or won't it." But just cheat, and read the last page. That's what it says. Everything else is delay and pointless exposition.
  10. So...did she bolt because of the "boning Blake Lively" part, or the "filming the Green Lantern" part? Because both moves were ultra-shitty.
  11. A pear half? Or an old-maid aunt?
  12. It's one of the Lada models, the Niva. I actually saw them tooling around in Armenia, and I gotta tell ya.....kinda wanted one. They are SUPER old-school, as in, "can be fixed with duct tape and baling wire," which is the kinda vehicle I grew up on.
  13. Don't really see this as a "heavy cargo hauler." This. I think of the vehicles I see driving around dense urban areas -- think NYC or Chicago, or any number of cities overseas (London, Frankfurt, Berlin, Paris). They need small, nimble light haulers and delivery vehicles. Adapt it into a small panel van, and it's delivering bread, flowers, restaurant supplies, etc. all over town. For cheap (electric, not gas), following local regs and not adding to emissions, and has plenty of range for the day's work (those vehicles drive 50 miles a day, not 150). Definitely a similar function. But you get the EV advantage (fuel savings) and the upside of a new, warrantied vehicle with a lot less stuff that can go wrong (EV maintenance is cheap and super-easy). If I was running a restaurant supply delivery business in NY, or hell, even a pool cleaning business in Austin, I'd consider a bare-bones, low-maintenance, low-cost-to-operate vehicle like this. But . . . that's a niche space. Hard to see Joe Commuter buying one of these as his daily driver unless he also needs the utility of what that package offers.
  14. Our Pustule In Chief literally said that he would do so: Because he has the IQ of a hollowed-out rotted pumpkin.
  15. Guilty. As. Charged. No shame, no ragrets.
  16. "I agree with what Elon and Trump are doing, it's the way they are doing it." Yeah, cultist. So, that sentence means that you DON'T agree with what they are doing. That's how that works. Like if a dude violently rapes his wife, you don't get to say "I agree with what he's doing (having sex with his wife), I just don't like the way he's doing it (via violent rape)." No, dude. See, the ACT here is not "having sex." The act is "violent rape." The act being committed by Elon and Trump is not "systematically reducing actual fraud, waste, and abuse." The act is "taking a flamethrower to a staggering number of good and important functions the government performs." I hate how stupid these people are, and I wish there was some way to use the same propaganda outlets to convince them that the ultimate way to own tha libz, and thus their patriotic duty, is to drink a fucking quart of hemlock.
  17. That’s not the Genesis he meant. There must be some misunderstanding.
  18. "They won't explain why." Dudes. Here's the cheat code, and it applies to literally everything happening right now: is it a fucking dickish, totally assholish thing to do? Yes? Well then, THAT'S WHY THEY'RE DOING IT. The operating principle of our government is "be randomly mean assholes.
  19. "Atomheart, STOP! Why won't Hayley Atwell and Elizabeth Hurley just make a deal???!!!"
  20. "Brisketexan stopping at merely marrying and occasionally pleasing his wife before he seduced Sela Ward, Hayley Atwell, Elizabeth Hurley, and Susanna Hoffs is a pretty big concession by Brisketexan."
  21. Is he? Our president is a fucking low-IQ toddler. The bar is so, so, so low.
  22. I have an old friend who works in the Pentagon. She literally has to check her phone in on the way in every morning, leave it in a box, and retrieve it on her way out. And while her clearance is high....the SecDef's is way higher. If you sat a bunch of knowledgeable folks down on January 19th, and told them "create for me the most clownshow administration imaginable"....they still would have fallen far short of the reality we now live in.
