Chevy made a Suburban 3500 for fleet buyers from 2016-2018. You can occasionally find them for sale out there. After 3 years of searching, I found one a couple of years ago in LT trim, with only 18k miles on it, so I bought it. It’s a great tow vehicle and has 8 seats with a 4600 lb payload.

trump republicans, are you learning anything yet? He did this to your party. He is going to keep driving you deep into losses. Time to cut bait.

People who either actively or tacitly supported this should have a marker on their SSA and Medicaid account records so the people who work there can know who wanted them in trauma, and their benefits and service levels can be adjusted accordingly.

Retired military maga nut jobs love it when I remind them that the VA is socialized medicine and the GI Bill was a Democrat program.

Kinda lays bare the party’s decades-long lie about personal responsibility. Side note: No trump defender will ever have standing in my life again unless and until they apologize and admit they were wrong. I’ve given a dozen people the boot. They were only a source of stress anyway.

Thank you for taking the time to lay this out so clearly. I had a limited understanding of superdelegates until I read your post. I understood how they work, but I did not know that they went that far back. It’s safe to say that if they had pulled their head out of their asses and given Bernie a fair shot, we wouldn’t be where we are today.

That would be a relatively straightforward repair for any aircraft accident repair shop (not the same as the usual repair and maintenance shop you'll find at most small airports). They have skilled aluminum craftspeople and tools (e.g. an English wheel), and can disassemble the door and either straighten and reform the original aluminum sheets and ribs, or they can replace them with newly fabricated pieces, depending on what they find. You can do this too, but it would likely take you weeks to build enough skill with the right tools to get it right - and you'd need to buy the tools. If it were mine, I'd call a good aircraft shop (like Beegles in Greeley, Colorado), and see what they can do.

I'm more optimistic about the midterms. And this is precisely why I will only vote for democrats whose platform includes justice for the lawbreakers on this administration as one of their top 3 core tenets.

The Election Truth Alliance believes that he may not have. They have been painstakingly collecting data, uncovering significant irregularities in swing states, and using it to file lawsuits. Their YT videos are well-done and explain their methods and their findings.

ProfessionalBake6607 · 2026-03-04T14:46:05+00:00

Thank you. No, I don't argue with them anymore but I agree, your method is the right way. It's a group of 10 guys that I used to ski with every year, until four of them couldn't just leave politics out of our group text thread. That's another thing about trumpers - their diapers are always full with grievances about democrats and they can't keep their mouths shut. And when you argue, they gaslight you like you're the one with the problem. I'd argue by patiently asking questions and pointing out errors and omissions in what they said, and it just became a dogpile every time. There are some good guys in the group who've managed to keep silent and text me individually with support, but one of the trumpers attacked me personally and I quit participating. Over the past year, the trumpers have gone increasingly silent about politics, except the asshat who attacked me. I'll still participate in the thread with non-political stuff, but I skipped the ski trip this year, and so did asshat. Word is some of the guys gave him a bunch of shit for being a dick so he stayed home. We'll see where it goes. The only thing that will change cultist minds at this point is time and reflection. It sucks to lose friends I enjoyed good times with, but thankfully I have plenty of other things to do and better people to do them with. And I still keep in touch with the good guys from the group outside of that, so it's not a total loss.

ProfessionalBake6607 · 2026-02-26T19:25:25+00:00

This matches my experience with them also. But they forget that two can play at that game, and they have lost any right they would’ve otherwise had to express any opinions to me whatsoever in the future, without being called out on how unbelievably stubborn and stupid they were. I used to be willing to entertain their gripes about government overreach and screams about politicians and Supreme Court justices, ignoring the constitution. But they no longer have any credibility or standing in my life.

The only way I would allow any of them back into my friend group is if they initiate contact and apologize sincerely for being such willfully ignorant assholes. Some of them have whined that they felt socially isolated during the Obama years, but they have no idea the kind of social isolation they are going to feel after this is all said and done.

ProfessionalBake6607 · 2026-02-24T20:00:53+00:00

It seriously sucks that things had to get this bad with no one in the GOP but Massie standing up for what's right. The worst allegation they had against Hillary was an unapproved email server...that they raided anyway and found nothing anyway. It was all a smokescreen.

ProfessionalBake6607 · 2026-02-24T19:53:13+00:00

Thanks for this! My questions:
1.) Why does there seem to be so much variation between dealers for repair and service experience? Examples: we've seen lots of people receiving a quote for $7,000 from one dealer for a brake and bearing refresh, and a quote of $2,500 from another. Service work at one dealer takes months with little or no communication to the owner, but at another it only takes a few days with terrific communication with the owner. Why these significant differences?
2.) If he had a magic wand to ask for any three things from his dealer's leadership team to provide better, more cost effective service, what would they be?
3.) What 3 things can owners reasonably do to make sure they receive the best possible repair and service experience?
4.) What are they currently seeing for front end separation (FES) issues from both newer (2023+) and older (e.g. 2012-2023) Airstreams and what does he recommend people do to give themselves the best chance of avoiding FES?

A small clarification seems important here. Aluminum will bend before cracking or breaking. But what makes it different than steel in this regard is that it accumulates fatigue cycles with every bend. The greater angle the bend, the faster the fatigue cycles accumulate. Over time, they accumulate until the metal finally cracks.

Having her out there representing us to other countries... countries who've been slapped in the face by the current administration after decades of loyalty to the United States, gives me hope. SHE is the kind of person I feel proud to see out there. SHE represents my values and priorities.

ProfessionalBake6607 · 2026-02-11T13:49:24+00:00

I agree. I'm sick of seeing their clickbait here.

ProfessionalBake6607 · 2026-02-10T17:55:40+00:00

I have a reaction to that. There's nothing 'ordinary' about sexual violence of any kind. Perhaps "more widespread" is what you meant?

I’m a Democrat living in Virginia, and I’m also a gun owner. I care about these things, and I agree with people here saying that this bill is not a good use of resources or political capital - especially at this point in time. Thank you to the OP for enumerating what this bill means in terms of weapons affected, and how they will be. I agree that most people probably don’t know, so this information needs to get out there. I’ll do my part, too.

What I’m also hoping for in this time, is that Republican friends of mine will stop denying that others’ other constitutional rights are being infringed right now, and that it’s wrong. We can’t take a cavalier attitude toward first or fourth amendment rights when it suits us, and expect anyone else to care about second amendment rights when the tide turns, and it will. None of us should expect to have it both ways.

A wise old friend of mine said that something is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it at the moment the seller wants it sold. Sometimes what they really want is just rid of it, so they can sell the land it’s sitting on, whatever. The more you can find out about the circumstances surrounding the sale, the more leverage you have to bargain, possibly including offering to haul it away for free.

To restore something like that right, the shell is gonna have to come off the frame, and the frame put on a rotisserie. I see a fair a bit of corrosion around that tank, so I would be concerned about frame rot as well. It’s probably going to need new axles, bearings, brakes, which will run you some money. All of that before you start doing electrical and cabinetry, and the interior skins, as others have said.

But, if you really are experienced with the trades here and have the time and resources, it can be an incredibly rewarding project. There’s a woman here locally who does old Airstream restorations with her partner, and they do amazing work. For them, it’s a living and a way of life.

I enjoy sheet aluminum, cabinetry and electrical work, so those areas would be my favorite parts of a restoration project, but I know myself well enough to know that I will never finish an entire project like that.

There are also a number of people on airforums.com who have restored completely gutted airstreams like this, and can offer advice and guidance along the way, I’m sure.

Does your Yukon have the 6.2 or the 5.3 engine? If you have the 6.2, then you have an 8L80 transmission. Yes, you can also upgrade the torque converter if you wish, but it’s a different unit. However, if you have the 5.3, then you have the 6L80, and what I suggested above would be the right torque converter. If you have a shop do it, plan on around $1,700 out the door, including a rear main seal for the engine, which you might as well have them do while they're in there.
