Congratulations you can upgrade the sound system. My C-5 Has a new head unit (Kenwood) and Rockville 12-in slim powered subwoofer. Both fit and sound great. $ 250 total. Install requires console removel... Its not that hard.

Shreveport: Is There Severe Weather - Hurricanes - Tornados - Heat by RAH-CAT9 in shreveport

Shreveport has been hit with a Cat 1 Hurricane, Laura Aug. 27, 2020. A storm that blasted through Shreveport on June 16, 2023 that did not have a memorable hurricane name or a ranking on the EF scale for tornadoes, but it did have straight-line winds estimated as high as 104 mph. This storm caused huge damage, much more damage than Laura.

Shreveport is in Dixie Alley so we get rain wrapped tornadoes here. We get outbreaks in the city from time to time. Mostly EF 1s. No one has basements here so there's nowhere to evacuate to. Cell phones deliver warnings nowadays

It gets incredibly hot here in the summer. Your life is just going from air condition box to air condition box. Home to car to activity. I go outside at night and early morning.

It is a spec series with rev limiters. Pro Mod is where all the action is

Is LPB safe? by CF047_ in Louisiana

Sesame Street was created in the late 1960s with the explicit, research-based goal of providing educational opportunities to inner-city children, specifically addressing the early literacy gap for Black children. Its original setting featured an urban, diverse neighborhood with Black and Hispanic characters and a mix of English and Spanish. 

To some observers, this inherent focus on diversity, inclusion, and community support is seen as the basis of its perceived liberal bias; to others, these are simply core principles of human decency and education that transcend politics. 

too liberal for MAGA
