impartialobserver Posted July 8, 2024 Report Posted July 8, 2024 20 hours ago, WestCanMan said: My wife got a F-150 Lightning in December and it's back at the dealership for the second time already. The first time the battery wouldn't charge and the remaining power on the vehicle was down to 50% of what it was supposed to be, this time it just wouldn't start. Apparently it has a 12-V battery that starts it, opens and closes the windows, locks the doors, etc, and for some reason that wasn't charging. We have a tonneau cover on the back, and seeing as the battery was dead, we couldn't even unlock the tailgate to get our stuff out of the box before we took it in. Even with the charger on the battery we still couldn't get the tailgate to unlock. If I had a 1974 F-150 none of that would have happened, and any mechanic in Canada could have fixed it within hours. We could have bought a fleet of old pickups with the money we paid for that Lightning. Interesting stuff. I have started to considering upgrading my vehicle. An EV seems a solid choice considering my long daily commute but I keep reading stories like this and it gives me pause Quote

An EV seems a solid choice considering my long daily commute but I keep reading stories like this and it gives me pause Honestly, get a Toyota hybrid if you have the choice. Don't settle for less. They've been making them for 20 years now and you get the best of both worlds: your vehicle recovers the energy used in braking by converting it to potential energy instead of just dissipating heat into the atmosphere, so city fuel economy is excellent you get the quick refuelling times and unlimited range of a gas vehicle (stations are everywhere and it takes 1 minute to refuel) Additionally, they're cheap, they last for hundreds of thousands of Km, and their resale value is unbelievable. There may be a wait-list for a Highlander hybrid, but that's one that they've made for 20 years and like I said, the resale is incomparable with other vehicles. 2 Quote If CNN gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

They settled the day before Tucker and his fellow liars were scheduled to testify. Murdoch even admitted it. That meme described you to a T. Quote

And you post things like you did above under the air that you are better.

Trump lies all the time, aside from Biden's performance at the debate, Trumps was just a non stop string of lies. Fox repeatedly accused Dominion of rigging voting machines with zero evidence. That's defamation. Who did Scarborough defame? Quote

My point wasnt that Trump is truthful. I didn't even bring him up. My point wasn't that Fox is a paragon of truth. My point was that you are a hypocrite for turning a blind eye to lies. In this case, maybe the biggest lie in the history of our political system. As to why Scarborough hasnt been sued, who would do that? Who has the standing to say they have been harmed by his lie? 1 Quote The Rules for Liberal tactics: If they can't refute the content, attack the source.

That's nice. NBC paid unspecified millions to settle out of court because they doctored footage to frame a bunch of children for something they didn't do. And it wasn't the first time. Thanks for playing Quote

Scarborough expressed an opinion, although a biased one. He didn't accuse someone of committing a crime with no evidence to back it up. Quote
