Aren’t a bunch of them deeply closeted though? They’ll say they aren’t but in their hearts, they’ll have to ban it.

There have been years where a lower class is the overall winner in some endurance Motorsport races though. So your analogy is wrong. If a GT3 Porsche happens to be more efficient or if it’s a year with poor LMP teams, a lower class car can certainly win the overall victory.

There will still be class victories, but that’s separate from an overall.

Also classic car (historic racing) is totally awesome, the Goodwood Revival especially has done a really good job making racing exciting again. Their YouTube channel is really well done too.

Those are polling numbers within the country.

I’m asking about the poll in the post. Which is confident about decisions abroad. I could imagine Bush Jr fairing worse since he started 2 wars.

I can’t imagine Nixon would fair as worse, even with Vietnam in the mix, he at least helped China and the environment.

I’m for EVs, but solid state batteries are more promising for mobile applications. Sodium is a pretty big risk in water too.

Sails or onboard generation (wind and solar) are also an interesting solution on these huge ships. But the main problem is producing goods unnecessarily far from consumers so save a few dollars (subsidized by the environment).

And 2/3 of the senate to I think.

Just curious, are there any US presidents or any other actually democratically elected non- dictator leaders who rate lower than Trump?

There’s no way the convertible Sebring from that era isn’t worse.

The battery is under the left front headlight and requires removing the wheel and fender liner to change

And actually the OG K cars were pretty bad too. My grandma gave her Reliant to my younger brother when it was 15? Years old, but had less than 20,000 miles on it.

On the drive home all the paint peeled off the roof and the first big rain storm the ECU module melted down.

Children’s teeth. I got an $800 bill for pulling one of my adult teeth. But it was way cheaper than the $3k for a root canal.

Maybe that’s where she gets her money.

I read this in cheery/ high pitched version of Liam Neeson’s voice and it was great.

Thanks for sharing some of your story and acknowledging an important aspect of your success.

Do you have any plans to use your position to help change the system (political, educational or otherwise)?

If the point of the embargo is to pressure affected parties to enact change on the governments policies, offering the reward after sanctions are lifted would be an added incentive.

It should be allowed or even encouraged to help the power of the sanctions.

Same for sugar, it’s really annoying that so many things have switched to plastic. Gram crackers, Ritz and Saltines all used to be in waxed paper when I was a kid and were fine.

Now they switch to plastic, but make sure it’s tinted to mimic the old paper versions.
