This got me thinking and I thought I would list what I've owned and what my wife has owned by brand.

Me: Ford and Chevy

Wife: Toyota, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Chevy, Mercedes Benz, Jeep, Ford, BMW, Dodge, Acura, Cadillac, Pontiac, Lincoln, and maybe a couple others I can't remember.

One of us has a problem!! 

My wife has had 2 MB's and both were totaled. Both times she was not at fault, the other cars pulled out in front of her. But she walked away from both incidents with no injuries. I do believe they are very safe cars in a collision. (she also does new cars every 2 yrs on average)

That was an insane day of racing!

Bummer about Barcia and Webb!

I hope Tomac can get at least another win this series...he doesn't really need to win, but it would be cool if he did.

Congrats to Hunter Lawrence!

 

I think Tomac will ride hard for the win in Denver being it's his home and he will have tons of family & friends present to watch him win.

In my opinion the big social media platforms have caused so much harm to our society and AI will just take it to another level which will just speed up the decline of our country as well as other western countries.

I sometimes think these leftist just try to one up their fellow woke leftist which is why these laws/ordinances get more insane over time.

Portland now is proposing banning fossil fuel delivery trucks in a 16 block area downtown. What effen good would that accomplish? They would have to unload the goods from fossil fuel trucks into zero emission trucks or vans to get them to their destination in that 16 block area! And they are using a $2M grant from the feds to implement this. And they boast they are the first to do this!

So, am I reading that right? a 2.75% swing between what each is paying in fees? 

They REALLY don't like people being responsible do they. I hate credit scores and how our lives revolve around them. They are such bull sheet, when paying off a loan makes your score go down you know it is rigged against you.

I have no debt, a clean financial record, and use my rewards cards to pay for everything I can and pay them off every month, yet I can't break a 800 credit score. I understand why, but it makes no sense.

This reminds me of how I purchased my last turbo S. I was going to pay cash but figured out a way to get a bit of a discount. I put the maximum the dealer allowed on my cc, $5k. I got a loan for the remaining balance. Then I would make the maximum payment the lender would allow on my cc, and they had no limit on the number of payments allowed during the month. I made the maximum payments every couple of days until the loan was paid off in the first month. My rewards were several hundred $$'s. Just a tip to save some $.

Hopefully he will tell his side and be truthful about it. Stifled/pushed out by Fox for the J6 tapes, running for office 2024, part of the settlement with Dominion. The left will claim victory regardless of the actual reason or reasons. 

I agree, would love to hear Tucker's take, but I bet there was an NDA signed with a lot of $$$ involved.

So Tucker is out as of this morning, Bongino and a few others were canned last week. What's the over / under on Hannity hanging on ?

I would be surprised if they canned Hannity. If I remember correctly, Hannity and Carlson were Fox's top 2 shows in prime time and it would kill their ratings to dump both so close together. They will keep him in my opinion. Carlson was easier to dump due to his views on other things such as the Ukrainian war. He took positions different from most of the other personalities which I liked even though I did not agree with everything he said. 

I would bet Levin will be next if they are still cleaning house.

I'm surprised how many Trump interviews lately on Fox. I read a year or two ago that the Murdoch's gave orders to distance the network from Trump.

I thought the racing was epic...it is all heart out there and just going for it!

Barcia was unstoppable, stoked for Eli to get 2nd considering his qualifying didn't go as planned and congrats to Roczen on 3rd.

As for the rest, they were probably just hoping it would end soon!

The East West shootout...holy cow RJ Hamshire...coming in hot!    and got stuck!

Brutal conditions.

 

The interview of both the Lawrence's after the race when they showed them video of Hampshire bombing into the last turn was hilarious. Both the Lawrence's were like, Holy chit! Funny as hell.

can you tell who was out front?

Amazing he stayed that clean after lapping most of the field!

People like this:

This is being heavily criticized by both the left and right.

Get used to these ridiculous policies, there will be more to come. 

Only 4 riders were on the lead lap at the end. 

I hate mud racing!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism

American Marxism by Mark Levin is a good read on what is happening in our country. He points out how Marxism infects society, how it creeps in and subtly indoctrinates whole societies in order to take absolute power. Then chit gets real.

It's happening to us now.

I was thinkin a '64 Impala. My parents had one when I was a kid. Not sure if this is a match though.

I'm a big fan. He's not the best actor, but he is a real good guy working in an industry full of douche bags.

Sued for Defamation which resulted financial harm to the voting companies.   The reason the others were not sured is they did not spout out the election fraud stories as if they were fact and try to ruin businesses.   There is a fine line in journalism and they crossed it, got caught, and are now paying for it.   

 

 

I understand that. My point is Fox isn't the only ones that have been caught and had to pay.

I'm not a fanboy of any one outlet, they all are biased and spin the news to fit their narrative. I've always wondered how many lawsuits are filed against media outlets that are settled and never made public? I would guess quite a few, but that is just speculation on my part.

Nick Sandman was the first to come to mind. Settled out of court by more than one outlet.

With the discovery that came out in public and the judge's ruling on the Motion for Summary Judgement, they had no choice but to settle.  Basically, Fox News was exposed as frauds under the guise of journalism. They knew it the stories they were running about the election were false but they decided to run with them anyway because it was good for business.

P.S. They think their viewers are suckers

This can be said of all major media, not just Fox. All media has become politicized and use their platforms to push their ideology. A lot of the garbage they churn out is nothing more than a manipulative way of increasing clicks and views.

That being said, I would trust some media over others based on my own political leanings. I do not know much about this case but am assuming the reason Fox is having to pay out is because a private company claimed it was injured. But to say they are frauds and not include all the other major outlets is disingenuous. In this case a private company claimed it was injured and Fox had to open their wallet. But let's not forget that the other liberal outlets have made payouts to individuals for the same thing with the only difference being a company vs and individual. Either way, a lie is a lie no matter who was injured and they all participate in it.

In some big cities the animals do violent things inside the city limits.

Saw this on the news and thought it was wild.

I'm not one to feed into to all the conspiracy theories but...

I don't care what is said here, I don't care the outcome.  Until the US requires voter ID for all elections, I'll consider ALL elections illegitimate.  

I totally agree, not requiring ID is the most corrupt thing anyone can do to an accurate election system.

I think vote by mail is the second worse thing. I'm sorry, if you can't get off your ass and go to the polls, you should not have a say on who is elected. I'd be all for a requirement to pass a civics test to be eligible to vote too.

BTW....we vote by mail and my signature drastically changed since last year due to a neurological issue and I fully expected my vote to be rejected. But nope, got a notice that my vote was excepted and counted. 

If politics were dogs, the social activist would be Chihuahuas.
