With the imports we are addicted to and the strong dollar in regards to foreign currencies, we are holding on a recession. I was listening to a market report the other day and there are actually concerns that the Federal Reserve is raising rates a bit TOO much to curb inflation. The American...

When I was younger, I did some rally racing. Both as a driver and a navigator. I never did desert rally racing though. The handle bars for the navigator is a nice touch. However, you really WANT gloves. It's at the 20 second mark. It made me wince just watching it.

I saw this nature picture and immediately thought of this group.

I'm just south of the rust belt. 50 miles north, cars dissolve. 50 miles south they just get weathered. I felt sorry for the kid. My friend who did the oil change said he was a "Special needs" kid from a local high school. He was stuttering and a little off but he had just plowed into a utility...

I recently picked up a little convertible and was working on the electrical issues it has in my driveway. I heard a noise that sounded like jet back blast and then one heck of a BOOM! I stood up trying to see what happened. I walked around my car and then my pickup and a car had run off the...

While this is for FCA trucks (I do have an older Ram 1500) I also have a Mazda CX-5. Earlier this year I was at the dealer for service, a little cheaper than most oil change places, and while I was waiting, I looked at their two new cars. They only had about 10 or 12 used ones too. The one CX-5...

I wonder if FCA (Dodge/Ram) will do like Ford is getting ready to do. In the next few years, Ford is going to a three tiered sales set up. I don't have the details at hand, but I think the top tier will be Ford-E. These will be selling the electric Ford vehicles. Prices will be locked into the...

Since I posted that, I've seen where Ukraine has launched an offensive to regain territory and is going through the Russian forces like grass through a Goose. Communism always has had an issue with propaganda but when it comes down to brass tacks, they fall short.

I was talking to a former associate today. He mentioned that in a little over 6 months, the Russian Military has had more casualties than the United States did in 15 years in Vietnam.

I see Toyota has recalled their Bz4x models because the wheels might fall off.

Probably not. There is a downward trend due to demand degradation. However, everyone has been cutting back on their driving and with lower prices will start to drive more. Current prices are based on market pricing over the last 15-20 years. The energy industry has flexed it's muscle and doesn't...

Old people like when the youngsters give them technical things.

How far can you kick a football with C4? Evidently you can kick it to smithereens.

Within about 2 hours. There are a lot of stations along the highway going into Kentucky. When one raises prices, the rest will often follow.

Yesterday, gas over in Kentucky jumped from $2.89 to $3.49. Sheesh, it's not any cheaper than here.

Went to Wally Wurld today. The GF wants to go camping so I was going to grab some supplies. I had that Walmart card with a little left on it so I figured I'd use it up. First off, each time I use it, there's a $2.00 charge. This is after $4.95 processing to buy the silly thing in the first...

I'm not a cat person. I won't abuse one, and there have been some through the years that actually were pleasant companions. Others,.....not so much.
