re: Car warranty question

Posted by tigeraddict on 8/21/26 at 5:52 am to
Wife wanted an outback (2025 model) we found one in Lafayette a year ago that didn’t have the tariff adder

The only thing I paid additional for was gap insurance. Last time I bought as car new was 2010. Would have been much cheaper from my car insurance company but wasn’t thinking ahead of time.

Their sales pitch on the extended warranty was the UI on the dashboard. And how much it would cost to replace.
Have $500k. Would have gone more but cancer 20 years ago made it too costly.

Plus have another $50k work pays for on my behalf.

Edit:

I just renewed last year (age 51) on 20 yr term

My previous 10 yr term expired and a did a couple of year to year trying got a lower rate.

Yes. Wife has family in Franklinton.

Also, parents had good friends in Columbia, MS and we used to drive the back way through Bogalusa in the 80’s
LSU lost to Florida 58-3 in 1993. i was there

that is 55 point loss, worse then the 54 point loss in 1914
September and November will we tough runs.

We all know the 1st game can be up or down. Weeks 3/4 OM A&M

Will know a lot about the team by then. Trial by fire for sure.
D establishment is spending a lot of money to defeat DSA candidates and losing. The DNCe have to be livid.

DSA candidate has taken any shot to upset in Florida and how they are at risk for getting upset in Michigan.
And just wait for insurance companies to raise rates in cali since the LRR tires by design have less traction and thus less handling, less braking capacity, and less all weather gripping.

Will mean more accidents.
effects interstate commerce.....federal, not state authority......

Why not, they are attacking him. Their weapons factories are fair game. So are assassinations since Nato has been doing them.


This is no different then Russia and China helping Iran target us positions in the ME


This is no different than what Russia did in Korea and Vietnam. And no different then what we did to them in Afghanistan


And Russia will not attack NATO. This is just saber rattling on Russias side. And fear lingering on the NATO side.
gonna be a AOC/Kamala ticket. only question is who is on top of the ticket.....

Single shot black powder rifles are not modern LMGs. 1800 British with M4s or 240s would have absolutely shredded a bunch of dudes with spears.


British used the Martini-Henry Breach loaded single shot rifle in Zulu war

AI search:

quote:

A trained military soldier could fire the single-shot Martini-Henry rifle at a sustained rate of about 10 to 12 rounds per minute under combat conditions. Exceptionally skilled or practiced shooters could push past this benchmark to reach up to 15 or 20 rounds per minute for short bursts if they had loose cartridges ready in their hand.

1800 troops at a conservative 10 rounds per minute = 18,000 rounds a minute. and they lost to 20,000 with shields and spears. and could see and attach at all angles if needed

1 man with a M4 (not counting reloading and weapon overheating) can put down at best 900 rounds per minute in only one direction at a time.

if 1878 British with 1800 men in open fields of Southern Africa cant beat an ancient army, then no way a single guy with an M4 could do the same against an ancient army of x2 the size, with horses....
simple answer - NO. History proves it as well

just need to look at the British vs Zulu's.

AI search:

quote:

Major Battles

Battle of Isandlwana (January 22, 1879): Roughly 20,000 Zulu warriors attacked and overwhelmed an invading British column, inflicting one of the worst defeats in British colonial history.

Defense of Rorke's Drift (January 22–23, 1879): A small garrison of about 150 British soldiers successfully held off a fierce assault by thousands of Zulu warriors.

Battle of Ulundi (July 4, 1879): Armed with heavy reinforcements and massed firepower, the British decisively defeated the main Zulu army, burning the capital and ending Zulu sovereignty.



20,000 Zulu defeated 1,800 british (1300 dead) in the Battle of Isandlwana. i would say 1800 solders >> firepower of 1 M4 and 1 man and 40,000 of Alexander >>> 20,000 Zulu




look at the poverty rates in those state..... correlation????


hoping to have genes from my grandfathers side. He is 102 and 2 of his siblings lived past 95

All born and lived their whole lives in Louisiana

Germany and Russia were huge trading partners in 1940…….
If you are against the WWII memorial, you are a Nazi by transitive properties.

What JD did by himself against Florida that year was insane.

In JDs defense, had he had just an average defense things would have been different.
