Mobile homes, the Golden Corral buffet, and lifted Dodge Rams are sky rocketing in price. Sooners just can’t afford to jump into the open ticket market. It’s a matter of preserving the lifestyle.
I swear people are getting seasonal affective disorder from the persistent heat. We’re the opposite weather of Portland and Seattle with the same mental results and our women with hairy armpits stink a lot worse.
There is not one sane person making decisions about this on either side. One side doubling down on keeping people mortified and the other acting like it never happened. The rest of us are ready for some common sense. We could, like a lot of the rest of medicine, do some risk stratification strategies with actual data we have after 3+ years of this shitfest.
It’s fine for a daily driver. Not quiet. Handles so much better than a Wrangler but still a tall boxy vehicle. Taking the top or panels off when it’s not 105 degrees is a lot of fun. I grew up with windows rolled down driving so blowing air and noise doesn’t bother me. I would definitely recommend having a primary road trip car other than the Bronco unless you are headed to coast, Big Bend, etc. My wife’s Mazda6 is a lot more peaceful to drive on I35, 290, etc.
Yeah, this thread got derailed. I'll swing it back around to wonder how much unionization might drive more auto manufacturing out of the country. If US quality is on par with Mexico production (ahem, looking at you Ford) or inferior to Japanese and S. Korea, then we are asking the average American consumer to purchase a much more expensive car without any other advantages of the expense other than big fat union contracts and high CEO pay for our fellow American workers. The fit and finish on a 2008 Lexus GX and a 2019 Kia is much better than my 2023 Ford Bronco. And I think the Bronco kicks ass from the look and capability department.
The average middle class non union worker in this country is going to look at this deal and look at their own 3% cost of living adjustment and support for the UAW is going to publically tank. Especially when their new and used car prices sky rocket again. Yes, the corporate greed is alive and present but so is union greed. Holy crap this country's economy is FUBAR'd if the only people at the table are greedy, amoralistic adults.
They have some old school football fullback type player (Pendergrass) who played well against sisters of the poor. He's a smart between or off the tackles player. Takes good angles and actually has some speed. Texas needs to mind the gaps. I say this because of some of the Alabama and Wyoming issues Texas would have off tackle. Wyoming Oline was very good early at being two yards down field about a half second after the ball was snapped. I don't think Baylor's o-line will be as good as Wyoming's. However, Richardson out isn't as big of a deficit as it appears.
So you get to use the representativeness heuristic to throw all the Christians under the bus with the bigots? You said "many" but you pretty much included all in your statements prior. You weaken your arguments when you use hyperbole.
I'm done with all of that and glad that we moved my kid out the weekends before all the apartments dumped the students out for two weeks at the end of July. Feel sorry for the parents and students moving in during 105 degrees. Protip for parents - find a condo/apartment your student likes and hope the rent stays reasonable until they graduate.
Narrator: They don't.
When Jesus is asked, “What is the greatest commandment?” He doesn’t hesitate to answer, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. And love your neighbor as yourself” Mark 12:30-31.
The "christians" some of you reference think that bejeweled crosses on a canvas hat and some Jesusy stickers are all you need to be a faithful follower.
