Point out where I said there was something wrong with Mercedes or GMC.

 

[NEVolFan]

Just like Coarse Ground PepperJack I own a Benz (E450) Soft Top, and a GMC 1500 Truck. Both are great vehicles, and I never carry a loan... cash or I don't buy.

I don't know if it's "dead" but I do believe this condo collapse is a game changer.

The Dream of Florida Is Dead

This is what the longer-term story here is. You know, it’s not just about one building collapse and the tragedy, although of course it is. But this is going to force a wholesale reevaluation of how these things are handled, at least in the state of Florida.

Think of condo associations as like small-scale socialism. You all have ownership stock in this thing. You make decisions about it. You have the board, which is kind of like the Politburo. No, really, it is socialism. And the thing about socialism is that when you collectively own something, you collectively make a decision about it. Well, some of those decisions are going to be very hard.

It really does seem like something out of a Carl Hiassen novel.

Unfortunately, most foreign vehicles cost a lot to work on.

I work on my own vehicles and they all are built about the same now not sure why they would cost more unless it's a BMW or Mercedes or the other high-end cars.

I wouldn't trust you to work on my weed eater...and especially not my car! Domestic or foreign!

 

[rocytop2624]

We get a lot more cars than I would've thought at the shop with the air quitting.

I thought you did something else. What do you do?

I buy American cars because I care about this country and our factory workers' jobs.

There is people in our country that work at the Toyota plant in Texas the Hyundai plant in Alabama and VW plant in Nooga and the Honda plant .

 

[rocytop2624]

Nice! A Camry?

We’re looking for something with some cargo capability and lightweight towing capacity.

I wish Toyota would make a crossover wagon like the Outback. That market needs more competition. I like the ride better than that of regular SUVs.

The original Toyota Highlander (not a crossover, of course) was the perfect size, but it got all swolled up. The current RAV4 has about the same amount of cargo space as the original Highlander.

4Runners are nice heck even the new Hyundai SUV is nice my advice would be to try and stay away from turbos on little motors in a heavy vehicle.

 

[rocytop2624]

that's my next vehicle an F150. But first I have to get my kid out of high school and get my wife's new CRV paid off

Get a Tundra with the 5.7 V8 you treat it right it will last forever. And the double cab the hole back glass roles down.

Yeah, I’m definitely concerned about the turbo. Although they’re awfully fun.

Our problem is access. So for instance, with the Accord, my mom would have to sort of fall in to the car (which was good), and then climb out when she got out. Most SUVs would require that she climb up in, and then fall out, neither of which is good. And on bad leg days for me, the same would be true for me getting in and out of the passenger side.

It’s a stupid problem to have, but a real one.

Get one that sits a little lower and has steps that come out when you open the door. Have you looked at a Honda Ridgeline?

My dream truck is a 2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro. I just love the looks and the lines on that model.

 

[Souce]

Am I the only one that had no idea this was happening????

But pretty cool to now have a UT campus in Middle Tennessee...

University of Tennessee adds new campus to create UT Southern

Prices for certain things cost double on a Toyota vs a Chevy or Ford. Depends on what model, but stuff like starters, alternators, radiator, etc cost more.

I thought you did something else. What do you do?

I work full time at a textile factory, and part time at a shop
