    Heh heh. Cynical me expects DOGE to be soon forgotten and dismantled so DC business as usual can move forward, but in the meantime maybe some good can come out of it.

    Indeed. I absolutely HATE vehicles that shut off at every stop regardless of how short the stop may be as I was forced to have when renting a vehicle on a trip. On another trip I ended up with a vehicle that had lane correction and almost had a sideswipe collision. I was in the second lane on a four lane section of highway when the person on my right started encroaching on my lane so being clear I just started to move to my left to avoid collision - the damn car "grabbed" the steering wheel and tried to force me to the right back into the lane. Scary piece of Schiff!!! At least I was able to override the computer and force the car to the left anyway. I was later told if I put on my left signal the computer wouldn't have taken over - yeah, right, I'm about to get smacked and I have to worry about an effing signal to appease a computer.

    Way too many busy body control freaks allowed to run lose in government. I hope DOGE fires them all!!!

    The more I see of newer vehicles the more I like our 1992 D250 with the Cummins Engine. Best small-truck engine ever made.

    So one day at Walmart a guy says to me, "I had one of those and like an idiot I sold it. You want to sell me that one?" I replied, "Do I look like an idiot?"

    My brothers once had a '57 Chevy station wagon. The good ones on eBay look like they are going between $30,000 and $180,000. Had we but known!
