Agreed. Hopefully the pedgulum to swing the other way one day and get back to its roots.

Places where public education is not supported/valued suffer. People will cackle and laugh here but it's true. Look at surrounding states with strong public education in comparison.

Sadly, Arkansas has decided to go the same route with vouchers and will look more like Lousiana soon.

It's a better than expected watch. Lots of twists and turns.

Reminds of listening/reading to God Is Disapointed In You. Fantastic book. Convets the bible in plaing English/story telling narrative. One hilarious read.

hated the 5.3 V8 I had in a Silverado. Mileage was decent but the AFM was horrible. Nothing worse than pressing the accelerator to merge onto the MRB and feel the engine lag while it goes from 4 cyl to 8cyl.

I realize thats all part of unattainable CAFE standards. But it sucks plain and simple. I'm paying for a v8 engine to be a v8 engine all the time. Not a parttime 4 cylinder

I hear ya but better it goes than it just locking up on a whim.

Avoid the 6.2

Get the 5.3

Starting a family is like adding rocket fuel. Gives insane motivation.

Same thing was said under JB when rates hit 8%

It's different today.

The vast majority of people had really low rates. A lot still do.

Foreclosures were low. They are picking up the pace.

In what I'm generally looking for, I've seen reductions here and there... Normally 6-8% from a handful.

Was hoping to get a re-sale in a new build community from someone jumping for work and having to compete with new builds, but the builders offering low 5 interest rates makes it a wash now.

No sense in hoop jumping with better rates on new.
