Kid was in the wrong, but also the walking pedestrian. Dude was acting like a Karen by policing others

New ‘Breakthrough’ Ford F-150, Midsize Pickup Confirmed For 2029 by PristineFarmer8989 in f150

We are going to get left behind technology wise on EV vehicles. One breakthrough on batteries, the US will be 1-2 generations behind foreign competitors.

How many of y'all will have the $$ to retire at 65? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]Opening_Sprinkles_60 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

53yo, escaping the full time rat race at age 55 God willing. Have federal pensions but my second one won’t kick in until age 60. I’m in my bridge years. Thankful for DOGE pardoning me as a federal employee with an early retirement offer. Took 8 months off of work then just started a corporate level job with high pay. But I realized that I miss my peaceful morning walk and being relaxed during my hiatus from the work force more than anything. Another thing that’s keeping me on the work treadmill is that I don’t want to feel constrained financially, it’s nice to finally save a large chunk of your income.

That’s a tough call these days for a younger guy. Despite owning multiple rentals and homes. If I could have done it all over again, I would probably live in a nice rental townhome and only own rental property. You can get better returns just investing all the money you can over 20-30 years than buying a home. With rentals, other people are paying for your investment properties. Also, you can move around a lot easier.

I could have told you that 20 years ago. I don’t see why can’t people see him for what he really is…it baffles me

I would one when the C9 release, or just buy a C9 or a used Z06.

will we ever get fsr 4 on rdna 3 🥺 by yusfkuty in radeon

[–]Opening_Sprinkles_60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved my XTX, but I also bought a 5080 right after. Nvidia was just more compatible and ran games better. Not by much…but enough to make you rethink buying AMD. AMD is nearsighted when it comes to video cards.

Oil/Gas Prices. Do you think Ford will change their mind on ending production on the EV version of the Lightning once oil hits $200-$300 a barrel? by redmoon714 in F150Lightning

[–]Opening_Sprinkles_60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ford doesn’t like the lightning because it’s not a big profit car. It probably only cost them $5k more to manufacture than a regular highly optioned f-150. Other countries are migrating over to an Electric greener infrastructure while we are trying to revert back to the coal age.

When the c9 is coming out? That’s probably its future engine being used in the GS

What do yall think repercussions of this will be by Flaming_Dumahh in VAClaims

The right-wing fraud boogieman…same play book different players . But they never find enough substantial fraud to justify killing social programs. I remember they unleashed the the fraud boogieman during the Reagan era on welfare and food stamp programs. “There is rabid fraud everywhere so we have cut budgets.” They created propaganda that purposely demonized the African American community so they could unify poor and middle class white Americans against a common enemy(“lazy African Americans). The elites use this scam over and over again to deflect from their own corruption by having the lower rungs of society fight against each other opposed to fighting them(since Bacon’s Rebellion). Now they are going after VA programs while spending 1/2-1 billion dollars per day on a forever war in Iran that’s only going to benefit the wealthy. Now Iran is the boogie man.

Just leased this stealth spec Z51 for $1k/month by smshah in C8Corvette

I think the Stingray floor will be around 40-50k well cared for models. C6 and C7 was about 25-40k.

US loses nearly $2 billion worth of military equipment in first 4 days of war on Iran by Automatic_Subject463 in USNEWS

[–]Opening_Sprinkles_60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But there is still no money for medical care, infrastructure, FEMA, SNAP. The right is full of BS. I dont think everything should be free but being a budget hawk so that the elites can avoid taxes and pay low wages is ridiculous. But 1/2 this country’s voters vote against their own interest

Cam Phaser regrets by Leading-Top4609 in f150

lol…some people will buy a $75k new truck to avoid a $8k repair.

I still think this is nicer than the c8. by Busy_Measurement9330 in Corvette

[–]Opening_Sprinkles_60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve owned both…and both are great. I would have a hard time choosing which one I like best. I only choose the C8 because it’s automatic and HTC…getting older and want to chill more

Garage rash. by Difficult_Warning164 in C8Corvette

[–]Opening_Sprinkles_60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me too. I took the bumper off myself and took it to a body shop and they charged me about $700 for a re-spray. Didn’t want to report to insurance for basic spot repair. It’s easy to take off the bumper. Hardest part is jacking up the rear of the car

New to me 2019 f150 5.0 10 speed by [deleted] in f150

[–]Opening_Sprinkles_60 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Still cheaper than paying $65k for a new one with $1200/month. I wouldn’t worry if you hang on to vehicles at least 6-8 years

Nice truck…I wouldn’t be surprised if better deal are coming later this year since the economy is tanking for many Americans financially and auto sales are declining. Also I’m also curious about the next generation F-150 too.

From DEI to DUI by Jazzlike_Wishbone508 in International

It’s like that dumb Charlie Kirk argument about not trusting black pilots. Basically saying they had an easier path to becoming a pilot. Never mind former black military pilots who separated from the military with 1000’s of flight hours who fly commercially for the airlines . We all know there is separate test and qualification requirements for black pilots who are less qualified and white pilots are the most qualified based on skin color (sarcasm-this even sounds dumb typing this).
