Holy shit.
It went from committee to the floor the same day!!
We passed the Senate with 100 percent yes votes this afternoon.
We are otw to the governor now!
We fucking did it.
So after the engine blew in my fusion at 80k miles I just didn't trust it anymore with the replacement engine. I traded it in on a new (to me) truck that is so unpractical, but I fucking love it... So oh well. It only gets 13mpg and I can't park it at my job because the garage is too short there; I have to park it a half mile away and pay an extra $30 to use the garage between the stadiums downtown lol. Garages above 6'8" are rare here, or so I found out recently.
It's a 2015 F150 with a 5.0. At least she's pretty. Got tired of my father-in-law bitching about scratches on his truck when we take it out to the desert to go shooting. So I got my own lol. His truck is a Platinum edition so he acts like it's too nice to get dirty. This one is a Lariat and seems to have all the same shit as his. Not sure what the difference even is, but this one is gonna get dirty lol.
Woot!
We passed out of committee today with 100 percent yes votes. Next we go to the rules committee. That is when we will get back to work and bug them to put it on the floor for a full Senate vote.
Well done gang, we are almost there.
I am not particularly brand loyal, but there are some I avoid.
I think the reliability and performance of the actual model means more than the brand itself.
It's all I ever own, if I can help it. I've had way more good than bad. I blame the size of the engine in the fusion more than the brand. It's too hot here and I have too heavy of a foot to drive a 1.5L 200ish hp turbo 4 banger; I really think I just ran it down. The 5.0 NA motor is much better and I don't have to run it to redline to merge onto the freeways lol
The only day I would have been able to go was Saturday, but...wait for it...
I'll be driving to Detroit to sign the paperwork on another motorcycle I just bought. I told myself I'd never have more than 2 in the garage again, but I caved, so here we are.
BTW, the Vulcan is for sale. I keep trying to like cruisers (mostly for the passenger accommodations) but I just don't.
