Wunt moar vids.
Also, is that Sean with the beard? I was so used to him with the baby face.

Regardless of your politics, I feel there is some good data in here to look at, as well as some perspective I can't disagree with.

my opinion, we should have brought things back state side many years ago. Hopefully this is the wakeup call that we need.

I wanted to buy 20 shares of Boeing when it was at $95. Was going to unload some Ford and Medical stocks to help, but needed some money from savings.
Wife freaked out that I wanted to pull the money, I said whatever not worth the fight.
Boeing was trading at $180 a day ago, and I still don't have my Ferrari.
I hope you showed that to your wife...

Death rate v confirmed cases is going to be way off with a ton of people not even being tested.

My wife had an unproductive horrible cough back around Jan for like a month. She said she doesn't recall if she had fever or body aches but it felt like her chest was being constrained, like someone sitting on it. It was pretty bad. The kids got it too but for a much shorter duration. The weird thing is, I did not, and I usually catch everything and it's usually pretty bad when I get sick. The common cold really takes me out.

Some more good info in this interview.

Fortunately all my outdoor activity is just me and my hawk, with any other people that happen to be out and about, well over ft away.

Yeah, the GS cars are nice too. Later models have the same engine as the base engine but they still perform well.
Found 3 Verano turbos in a country wide search, all 500 miles or more. Good luck with your search.
Yeah, manual Veranos are needle in a haystack.
I like the Gen of Regal GS prior to the current generation. Whatever Gen this is. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/554264812103441/
Though if it's going to be automatic, it needs to be AWD.

I’d recommend a Mazdaspeed3. Should be able to find one in Texas without the dreaded rust that eats those things inside out.
MazdaSpeed 6 looks awesome, but rare and pricey.

This, Veranos are basically a Cruze with the Regals 2.0T in them which are a DP and tune away from a very reliable 300whp. There aren't many 2.0T Veranos out there with a 6peed manual, but finding one would be worth it.
Yeah, I looked. Striking out.
I was also looking at the Regal GS for sh*ts and giggles (which is out of my price range and also hard to find in the configuration I like) and those look like neat cars too.

I run amsoil signature which he had in a series of videos comparing like 20 oils and amsoil came out on top.

Go drive an ST. It will change your mind....
The ones around here have also been 2-3x more than I am trying to spend anyway.

What frequency generator app are you using?
Frequency Generator - Audio Tools & Ultrasound (I have an android phone)

That guy makes a LOT of helpful videos. I've been watching him for a while now. He's helped guide me in a lot of purchases, and confirmed my decisions on purchases I've made before watching his video(s) that address said items.

Maybe look at Ford Fiesta ST and Focus STs
Ford can EAD. I'd rather not buy another one.

I think it mistranslated when I was typing it out. I was just trying to say by your own standard you would have "deserved" to have your property damaged and I think that's ridiculous since nobody deserves property damage.
I am not saying it's ok for people to have the reaction to damage property in response, I am just saying don't be surprised that it is the reaction.
The government has run audio based psy-ops for decades (remember Noriega?) with the express purpose of getting a reaction: either surrender or violent attack. They prepare for both, but the point of those audio assaults is to break up any stale mate or status quo.
I wasn't surprised by the reaction.
Their response was weak, and eventually surrendered. So again, mission accomplished.
I'll get em on camera next time they want to try damaging stuff, and then they're going to have real problems.

You both need photive speakers to blast at each other. Lulz.

"Don't want anything with constant issues" is enough of a reason to not buy one. Especially with that sort of mileage on it. We get our customers to dump them around 80K.
I have a customer with 5 mini cooper S's. His average bill at the shop is around $650 per visit and he never makes it 6 months between oil changes. We frequently have 2 of them at the same time.
They suck
Nail. In. Coffin.
Fk em. Ha ha.
Appreciate the input from everyone.

Wife and I looked at the Mini 6mt several times as a car for her and could never pull the trigger. from what research we have done, the only Mini's to have are the MK1 2001-2006 cars (esp the 06 cars), and most of those are old with high miles.
that said, might I suggest an alternative: the MK5-MK6 Audi A3 (2006-2013) 6mt.

not easy to find in a manual, but basically they are a re-badged VW GTI. We have had an 06 since 2011 and put 130K miles on ours and the car has been relatively low cost to maintain. Timing belt is the big one - costs about $1000 to have a shop do it and is a punch in the dick to do yourself, and has to be done every 70k miles.
Other trouble points are the thermostat which is also a pain to get to, and that the engine uses a thousand little plastic hose connectors that break. Seriously I break one like every time I open the hood, but they are often $6.
2006 models have an FSI engine with a fuel pump that eats cam followers, but this was fixed on 2007 and later models. It's a $30 and half hour fix every 30k miles.
for some reason ours eats wheel bearings every 40k miles but it's literally an hour job to do in your driveway (if you have the special 23mm triple square bit). This may be because the car sits on H&R superlow coil overs, even though the alignment is spot on.
car gets high 20's gas mileage in mixed mostly city driving around cbus. It's quick, nimble, comfy, accommodates tall people well, and is in your price range. Best of all it doesn't carry the GTI premium, even though its mostly the same car (the a3 is slightly longer). I have yet to find a mechanical part that didn't have a VW GTI equivalent. Insurance is cheaper than the GTI too.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into them.
Shivs, Shanks, and Such

So, in the falconry world, one of our jobs is to dispatch prey that our raptor catches as quickly as possible to reduce suffering. That being said, many falconers utilize an ice pick. Most of us use a $5 made in china ice pick off ebay or amazon, which works perfectly fine. But, being a hillbilly, (or would it be redneck now? My roots are from Appalachia, but I have lived in TX for 9yrs...) with a taste for the finer things in life, I decided to start handcrafting some of my own shivs, shanks, picks, spikes, whatever you want to call them. Attached are some pics of what I've made. I don't have a lathe, drill press, or band saw, so these are all made with hand tools, and a few power tools I have that are being used in ways they were never meant to be used.
I was also wondering, does anyone ever use picks to chip ice for their drinks anymore, or is that a thing of the past? Because these could be used for something like that too i'd imagine if you have a fancy bar setup and enjoy entertaining.
