    Don’t need one for a bit, and will stick with Ford if I can. My dad and grandfather worked for them and I can still use my dad’s discount on new vehicles purchase/lease. 


    Ford just teased a “green” (actual) Mustang for their 2025 MY unveil. Likely the non-plug-in electric hybrid 4.0L v8 AWD version they were supposed to put out a couple years back but held off on as they didn’t want to cannibalize MachE sales. Their goal was 30-35mpg avg with “at minimum, the same or better performance than the current* GT” (*they stated this with the 2018 GT that did a 3.8 0-60 and an 11.8 1/4 mile)

    Won’t ever drive a car again, if I can do so. Been rear ended so many times in my Escapes, and one had me ready to testify against the woman that hit in my first incident. I swear if I weren’t in my bigger SUV type vehicle I could have been really hurt in that first one. So until an affordable electric SUV is available, I’ll be sadly feeding Dino juice to whatever I drive next. Although affordable Hybrid would also interest me as well


    Time to go to Colorado:

    I still don't understand why Israel needs an aid package.  That money would be better spent in Ukraine. 


    IIRC, Israeli military aid packages have a lot of strings attached that essentially make it a back door subsidy to US weapons manufacturers. It also stops Israel from buying weapons elsewhere, and even more importantly, gives US some semblance of “control” in how far they go in military responses/actions; if Israel wasn’t getting military aid from the US, knowing what I know of Israel and the IDF, I fully believe they’d be hitting any/all potential threats with preemptive strikes like an unchained rabid dog. Without the aid packages, without Biden at the US’ helm, that response to Iran would have been absolutely terrifying, IMO. The aid packages to Israel are more of a leash above anything else.

    Iranian state media is reporting that the explosions heard in the vicinity of Isfahan were air defense units engaging "mini-drones" which indicates to me that Iranians could be attempting to downplay/de-escalate the situation.


    Considering that Iranian state media was showing footage of wildfires in Chile after their failed attack on Israel and claiming “mission accomplished”, I’d say that we absolutely need to take anything coming from them with huge grains of salt.
