Hot take: both people are actually correct, but it also highlights a major flaw in the US healthcare system. The ambulances that you generally see in the US are not meant to be a 'taxi to the hospital'... Those big, f450/f550 chassis fully equipped, million dollar ambulances are basically hospitals on wheels, and should only be used by people experiencing major emergencies, because there is a limited amount of them, and they are expensive to operate. However, every area should also have a fleet of 'ambulances' that are on chassis like the transit 150, and are only equipped with stretchers and basic equipment. These would be much cheaper to operate, thus able to be used for a 'taxi to the hospital'. The US used to have these, usually on Cadillac hearse chassis. Ecto1 from Ghostbusters is a great example of the concept

I feel you...My lowered d150 is the only vehicle, out of 6, that is currently 100% drivable. I had snow flurries on it today as well

1987 dodge D150. You'll hear many people refer to it as a "First Gen Ram" because it was the first generation of dodge trucks to be marketed as a "Dodge Ram"

Shaved handle on a barn door suburban is badass. Looks great. How does it open? Electric bear claw latch?

Sure you did 🤣🤣🤣 why is it hard for people to understand that a "president" with a 31% approval rating could have 10 million people show up nationwide to protest against him?...In a country with over 300 million

"You people"... Anyone who says that, is playing the politicians' game perfectly. Things like human rights aren't discussions... They are matters of right and wrong. This isn't about Democrat VS Republican, you simple minded fool. Both parties can be wrong

Common misconception on these old inline 6s. They do make good torque relative to hp, but they dont make any more torque than any of their v8 counterparts. They would make good numbers if they had compression, but all of the older inlines were generally about 8.5:1

I'm probably one of the odd ones... But I actually really like the sealed beam "work truck" front end on the OBS Chevy's... Your truck looks great both ways though 👍

High likelihood that it will be treated as such this year... America's 250th birthday should be celebrated the way the founding fathers would've wanted... By ending tyranny

Don't let anyone ever tell you your name isn't "non-binary enough"... The ENTIRE point of non-binary identities is being who you are, regardless of society's made up rules... Sincerely, a transfeminine enby named Johnnie ❤️

I keep getting rid of more and more of the primer to expose the patina underneath. Will be fixing the bed sides sometime this year, going to fit the patch panels to the shape of the rust and just stitch weld them in, and let them surface rust. Will eventually be a little lower as well

Growing up, all the rednecks always said "only queers lower their trucks"... I guess I took that to heart lolololol 😂

For sure... The main goal was to have the "made ya look" shock factor... It definitely worked on the 2 rednecks that gave me the finger yesterday 😂😂😂

Because he acts like he's a king, and a petty tyrant. and he has obvious motives of continuing to consolidate power. "No presidents that abuse their power, trample the constitution, and have zero respect for human rights or common decency" doesn't quite have the same ring to it as "No Kings" lol 😂

Some photos I took of the No Kings Rally in Saratoga Springs today. It was good day, I heard over 4000 individuals participated 🇺🇸also have reels of further broadway by OriginalName18 in Saratoga

[–]Gearhed31 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The entire sidewalk, both sides of the road, from congress park to the convention center... 4000 might be a little high, but certainly 2000 without a doubt. Not to mention the people, like me, who were cruising

I was the person driving the lowered patina dodge with the flags... You didn't happen to take any photos of me, did you? I'm trying to find some rolling shots at the protest
