No. 2 SUV's and a 72 Challenger.

Hybrids get a bad rap. Some dude owed me 3k and settled up with a 2001 Prius. The kid drove that thing 4 years of undergrad, 2 masters, 2 doctoral, and 3 years after graduating until some fuckwad stole the catalytic outside her apartment one night. Replacing it the right way, they’ve got a weird O2 bypass converter, to get the emissions light to shut off would’ve been twice the valve of the whole car so she finally let it go and got a new Camry. Dunno about the newer models, but I’d absolutely buy another 1st gen Prius if one ever came along that wasn’t rusted to fuck. Great little car to beat around in that gets 45mpg.

To stay on topic: One tank of gas in a Prius would get you from Pittsburgh to a political rally in Washington at least twice.

Bought a 24 Maverick Hybrid, loved it so much, I sold it on Carvana, best offer by far, and ordered a 25 as AWD hybrids are available this year, the 24, 44MPG average in summer, high of 51.5 using pure gas, 90 octane.

It gets me to 3 political rallies in Washington.

Most of the Obama Jan6 political prisoners will be freed, sentences commuted and or pardoned, next week.

America becoming Great Again. Thank you so much President Trump and the People.

It's always been great. That you lost faith is a you thing. Not an America thing

Under Biden, nearly everyone was losing faith. That made it an America thing.

From a 2022 poll:

[HDGristle]

Wrong track doesn't mean it isn't great.

Could mean some want less DEI. Some want more. Some want Trump held accountable. Some want Biden held accountable. We spend too much. We spend too little.

The Jan 6th riot was seen by many as wrong track. Not you. But many, many others.

Most Con politicians, actually. Until they realized they weren't going to pay as bad of a political price with thier base as they thought at first and they drank heavy from the pool of cognitive dissonance

JV Couch Fucker gave a somewhat reasonable answer

??? So you think heading in the wrong direction will make us great?

85% of Americans don't follow your logic.

[HDGristle]

Strawman. Those aren't the same question and that specific one isn't addressing whether America is great or not. Context matters and, as usual you're trying to twist a poll to say something it isn't.

Appreciate your implicit approval of the rest.

[lustylad]

You're nitpicking... and over-reaching in your eagerness to reject an overwhelming poll result.

It's a close proxy question. Few people will call a country great if they think it's on the wrong track.

[HDGristle]

Close matters in horseshoes and hand grenades... not polls like this. I can also tell apples from oranges.

Not sure why you seem you start from a place where America isn't great but I'll pray that one day you get your groove back. Jan 6th, as despicable as it was, didn't dent American greatness. Neither did 4 years of Trump. Nor will 4 more.
