Considering getting something smaller and cheaper to ride it out as a bridge vehicle hoping Trump's changes save us eventually from this world of crappy powertrains.


I looked into buying something used with cash that would run for 3-5 years and buy time but just nothing out there that made sense. Either overpriced used up garbage or newer pre-owned with prices semi-comparable to brand new. Just no middle ground decent metal for a fair price.

If they drop Hilux into the American market for a reasonable price I'm buying one immediately and only using the new truck only when absolutely necessary.

Reality is unless the manufacturers quickly revert back to pre CAFE power rains (V8s rather than turbos, non ) I’ll have to accept buying an overpriced lemon within the next 12-24 months because there are currently no alternatives on the market for full size SUVs and trucks.


I had to hold my nose and buy back in April. Old truck wasn't going to pass emissions last year and too expensive to fix. Used car market is fricked. Bought new and had to overpay otherwise the light truck inventory leaves the lot within 48 hours.

Well, NYC for one, the day after they brought Maduro there. According to The Guardian, there were also protests in Chicago, Dallas, Philly, Pittsburgh, San Fran, and Seattle.


Good old Norcross, GA too. Posted on this very board yesterday in another thread. There's been thread after thread showing pro-Maduro protests in the US since shite went down.

Protests in the streets? Where did this happen?


fricking really? This has to be a troll otherwise best sit this one out. Google or any other search engine is your friend.

Is it just me or have a lot of these protests gotten smaller and smaller?



USAID money just ain't going as far as it used to.

Every Venezuelan person I see on social media is celebrating this.


Neighbor across the street is native born in Venezuela. She moved her mother and brother up here a couple of years ago after her father passed. Whenever her father was here before he died he was always wearing an American flag jacket. We'll just say none of them were upset about the events of a few days ago.
I played organized baseball for the first time directly behind the shopping center across the street and went to HS 1/2 a mile from this. I miss the days when Norcross was conservative white trash. Now Gwinnett County is a cesspool of dumbfrick seals like the people this guy is showing and calling out.

Actually drove through that spot yesterday, didn't see any of these frickers out with their little signs. You'd think for such an important issue they'd have kept it up for more than a day.
As a now longtime lapsed Catholic, I agree with him. The church lost it's way a long time ago.

That's putting it mildly. The dude is the living embodiment of the pedophile groomer and he doesn't even try to hide it.

His answer to this question was fricking embarrassing but he knows the rest of the seals in the room will take care of it before he actually has to put anything on the record.

How in the frick is your bill the same price all year round? Do you not have air conditioning? My bill is about $250-$300 a month in the summer and about $180 in the winter. All because of how much my AC runs.


Georgia Power and I believe all of the Southern Company affiliates have budget billing as an option where you pay the same price all year long based on average monthly usage over the previous year.

Outside of some bursts we had a very mild summer in ATL this year and my usage was down. He has likely overpaid the expected usage and is getting some of that money back in the form of a lower budget bill.
shite, they'll film from a distance while some poor bastard is beheaded in Central Park then talk about how the poor Muslim was so oppressed they had no other option. Until they're on the receiving end of the knife or truck bumper they can't be reached and by then it's too late.
Meanwhile I have a six year old phone held together by spit, mud and duct tape while I use my own money when I go to the store. Apparently I'm doing this wrong.

Nice to know that the thousands of dollars siphoned off from my check twice a month is going to such a noble cause. /sarc

LOL not sure the downvoters understand the reference.

The poor old Vatican ambassador to Venezuela has to be unhappy at the possibility.
Great, can't wait to see a bunch of those awful yellow license plates here around Atlanta in a few weeks. Because they haven't already fricked this state up enough since 2020.

Didn't Thune remove the philbuster to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill?


No. It was passed via reconciliation that only requires a simple majority and not a f-i-l-i-b-u-s-t-e-r-proof majority.

A record-breaking wave of “No Kings” liberals are applying for UK citizenship — you can’t make this up.


Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait just a damn minute. Are these no borders frickwits actually going through the immigration process to move to another country while highly likely encouraging mass illegal immigration to ours?

If this is really happening then the amazing lack of self-awareness exhibited by your run of the mill extremist liberal is even worse than I thought. The fact that the UK has a real actual king is just icing on the cake.
LOL like any of these dumb hood rat motherfrickers are gonna be dragging their asses out of bed at 6am.

For the ones that do show up, let them in and while they're loading up their carts just lock the doors until the cops show up. Problem solved.

Shiloh being one of the worst schools would’ve been unthinkable 25 years ago


I think Ghettocreek, Berkmar, Central and South Gwinnett still have it beat but it's rough down there in Snellville. I went to Norcross and it's a shell of what it was 25 years ago.

The schools in northern Gwinnett are still hanging in there pretty strongly but their days are numbered as the trash slowly migrates this way and local city councils turn more blue bringing throngs of multi-family housing with them.

This reminds me of my high school chemistry teacher. He lasted two weeks.


I have a friend who had wanted to get into teaching HS science for years. He hired on with Gwinnett County a couple of years ago, they stuck him at one of the worst high schools in the county (Shiloh) as they do for newbies and he lasted maybe 1.5 months. Said you couldn't educate in that environment, administrators didn't act on anything, and parents were non-existent.
quote:

What we do today hardly resembles what education was like when I began my career.


The damage done to your profession over the last 10 years and especially the last 6 may never be undone. It's sad too because it's very likely all of us have a story about that one teacher that went above and beyond to actually educate and drive us to step outside of ourselves.

I'll never forgive what the unions and administrators did to the kids during COVID and what has been foisted on the kids after they returned. The lack of real discipline is fricking atrocious.
I'd rather clean up a chicken house in the middle of the day in July without any form of PPE than clean up after these feral humans. The stench alone has to be horrendous.
