.....and it is still more politically viable for GOP congressfolks to support him (or modestly chastise him without any concrete follow up) than to actually try to stop him.



You protesting with your kids in Helsinki or what?

The kids have made a gazillion signs, train tickets are in my phone but...

Kaarin keeps crying every five minutes, L is a mess, the boys don't like me much right now and they ran off to the cabin. An epic timing as usual.

He's going full Trump on the Thai cave rescue/rescuers.

Not only that, he was revealed to be one of the biggest donors to GOP Pac. Now normally I wouldn't say anything about it since... GOP = wealthy white people (The whole we are for the common guys is also full of crap) now a days but considering GOP has been going the complete opposite direction of what Musk has been "preaching" about with Tesla, I just find it hilarious.

Anyway. Don't want to wake up thinking that. How has your GT350 been? Any more engine issues? I might have a friend that is looking into a Mustang and I told her I have no experience with domestic brands.

Knock on wood this one had been good and I'm almost to 10,000 miles. It does use about a quart of oil every 1000-2000 miles depending on how I drive it.

But, there is an entire "blown engine" thread going on in the main Mustang forum with a spreadsheet and everything. It is over 40 and growing, plus I know of quite few that aren't on there that used to be active on the forum roughly a couple of years ago. So yah...........

AFAIK the regular 5.0 and Ecoboost (as long as you don't overly tune the Eco) motors are fine. Build quality is still Ford........

Yeah I'm not too into engines yet as that... wasn't what I studied but I read around enough and saw the VooDoo engine issue is the design w/ the flat plane crank V8... which would kind of make sense as Ferrari's aren't known to be hyper reliable either but again I don't know my engineering things lol.

Yeah, she wants to buy the car outright but I'm a bit on the fence with Mustangs still. This is the reason why I more or less checked off the Charger SRT 392 from my list.

For reliability, will definitely be the mustang over anything made by Dodge.
I have a friend who works with several police departments, they all think the Dodges are dogs

I love the car and the engine. I also give Ford a lot of credit for doing something different engine wise that most car manufacturers aren't doing, but the execution and support is suspect.

After having two GT350s for going on 3 driving seasons now (MN lingo), I wouldn't recommend the car to anybody that just wants to put gas in it and that's it. The Voodoo needs a bit of attention with checking oil and other fluids that most engines don't. But the reward is still worth it for me. I don't know if that'll change or not, but we'll see in the future.

I was at a Dodge dealership near me and saw a Charger SRT Hellcat on the floor and it looked... MASSIVE. I didn't realize how big the car was until seeing next to me.

I know I am very slim but the car looked very big. A BMW 5 series or the G01 X3 is honestly the biggest I am willing to go with cars and the Charger looked too big. The windows annoyed me too being at neck level.

Anyway got to send my father to LAX... traffic... ugh.

P.S. She is afraid that the Mustang is too long/big for her but she is slightly shorter than me, I guess 5'5" or 5'6" but as skinny as I am under 110 lbs. I think Mustang size would be fine. I don't like her other choice, which is the Fusion.

Why is she stuck on Ford, cost/price conscious?

Price yes I would say that's is the biggest factor but she might not be into German cars.

Something like a Civic would, funny enough, be too cheap. Do you know how AWFUL the base Civics are? Ugh

I get it, but if I was to look at a new Fusion type of car (decent sedan) it would be Accord, Camry or whatever is from Hyundai even Kia for me.

Weird hair and talks in full sentences! A trustworthy person would glue a horses tail to cover that up, and speak like Trump.

He just tweeted that he is super smart, and that's why he's letting bygones be bygones.

Good luck with that, shall I fix the guest room r ady for you?

Your congress won't do a thing, again but now there might be a chance the next time they might. Corker blew a fuse already.

Well yesterday seemed to go precisely as expected.

Anyone wanna bet that other than feigned outrage it won't make an iota of difference to the GOP and Donnie?

I'll take any bet on that.
