    I do my research on the candidates and vote. That's it. I won't throw a fit whether party B or party A wins. Just because I don't let it bother me, doesn't mean I don't "participate". I'll let you do that for me, because I don't want to.

    It's a MUCH better way to spend time than worrying about politics.

    It's simply because I don't care. I don't care about politics. It is a complete waste of energy to get riled up about politics. It does me no good to worry about them. I live a happier life not worrying about something I have no control over.
  4. That's awesome! I thoroughly believe Boston screwed up in firing him. They had a little cold streak and fired a very good coach. Monty was actually a Blues assistant for two years after STL won the Cup and Dallas fired him, so he knows the organization and a good chunk of the players already. As for F1, how do you feel about your current Canadian driver, Lance Stroll? 🤣 There are soooo many more qualified and deserving drivers than Lance, but daddy owns the team...

    When have you ever heard me complain about one politician in particular and not them as a whole? You don't have to worry about me complaining about one without calling them all out. If I were so "pro-trump", where was my complaining the last four years?
  6. I am so freakin' excited for this! Ford and GM will be in F1 in 2026.

    It wasn't defending anyone, at all. It was a generalized question about all past presidents. I've never heard people asking about college transcripts for any president since I've been of voting age and @trinacriabob's comment seemed odd to me. That was all. No need to try and place me in one of the two buckets. I'm just not going into politics here. I hate them all. They're all trash. None of them have the betterment of the whole on their mind.

    Is it common for presidents to have their college transcripts publicized? That seems really odd, if so. So, he's just like every other politician in DC? 🤣

    Heal up quickly! What'd you have surgery for?

    My guess would be they're only like 4-6 months apart, maybe less. That 2026 could turn into model year which could turn into middle of next year. I would never guess sooner but Kia/Hyundai seem to be on a roll. The Bolt needs to look better. Period. It could be for sale before or after the EV3, but if it still looks like a Bolt, it won't do well again.

    I feel this way about every single politician. They're all corrupt and they're so far away from the common person, they have zero conception of a middle class family. Trump, Kamala, neither one gives a crap about us. They both just say things to get votes. I'm sure you've heard sound clips of either side flippy flopping on a topic to appease the crowd they're in front of. I wish I could say it's a truly unique idea, but it isn't. There has been quite a few Chevy Berettas turned into race cars(drag cars) and they're all RWD. There's even a model kit of a drag Beretta. I mostly was RWD, just because. A FWD V8 with ~350HP/tq just doesn't sound as fun. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-85-7168-chevy-beretta-pro-street--1025592

    I knew I recognized those Mounds and the name "Cahokia"!

    I don't follow politics much, because both parties are complete trash, but weren't those tariffs left in place since the last time he was in office? I'll always wish for my first car again, 1995 Chevy Beretta Z26. If I ever fell into a bunch of money I would absolutely find one and have it freshened up along with paying a shop to put an LS under the hood and making it RWD. I wouldn't need some 4, 5, or 600hp car. I'd be perfectly fine with a bone stock 5.3 making like 350hp or so.
  14. It's not the best looking truck but, damn, that range is fantastic. I do love the overall package of this, outside of the lack of CarPlay.

    She's an assistant, not their head coach. She is still the first to have that position as a woman, but it's not their head coaching position. Dan Bylsma is their head coach.

    Any fan with half a brain knew they were a worse team than last year. I think they should be better than they are, but they're worse than last year before the season started. Now they're riddled with injuries, too.
  17. I guess I don't understand why it matters if it is a retail customer or a fleet customer. They've sold ~10,000 of them this year.
  18. Notice how they say "stall" and not "cancel" ? Just because they're delaying things, doesn't mean they're not committed to them. Just because they won't have 10 out by 2030, doesn't mean they're not committed. They still have multiple EV manufacturing plants going up. One in Michigan, one in Tennessee, and two battery plants in Kentucky. Yes, they've been delayed, but they didn't stop construction and just abandon the plans all together. They're spending billions on these plants yet somehow you and David don't think they're committed.
  19. Yes, but I was trying to stay brand to brand, because those are what are competing with each other. Also, you missed Cadillac and Genesis, if you're trying to group them all into one. The other reason I didn't group them all together is because those brands are badge-engineering the same vehicle with a different brand's logo. EV6 and Ioniq5? Blazer and Lyriq? But, yes, General Motors and Hyundai Motor Company has more EVs than Ford Motor Company.
  20. Why does that matter? That doesn't make the EV less of an EV. You're trying to dismiss it because it isn't for families and therefore it's less of an EV offering and effort by Ford?
  21. As far as I know, anybody can order an E-Transit. It's silly and petty to not include it as a Ford vehicle. I'm not finding anything saying you or I cannot purchase one and they have to be "fleet only". Ford has the Electric Explorer still coming out in Europe so that'd be a 4th offering in the EU. Also, it's the Capri(that isn't out yet), Mach-e, E-Transit, and also upcoming Explorer. https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/feu/en/products.html
  22. Ford "isn't committed" but they have the exact same number of available EVs for sale right now as Hyundai, Kia, and Chevy. 3.
  23. Per your link, "What we've learned is that customers want choice, and so we're providing that choice, with a full lineup of EVs, hybrid, electric, gas and diesel products," said Lawler." Just because they're scaling back on the speed to getting more EVs out there, doesn't mean they're not serious or committed to them. They pushed back "several" EVs? Name 3. Heck, name one that isn't the 3-row one that was supposed to arrive next year or so.
  24. Not committed to the EV game? They made an EV version of their two most recognized nameplates, F150 and Mustang, and are both very respectable entries in the segment. Neither is a bad product by any means. They also have an E-Transit that accounts for roughly 10% of all Transit sales. Genuinely asking, What do you need to see to convince you they are "committed to the EV game"?
  25. My guess would be the 2nd gen of this and the F150 Lightning.
