• Steve Biro I have news for everybody: I don't blame any of you for worrying about the "gummint" monitoring you... but you should be far more concerned about private industry doing the same thing.
  • MaintenanceCosts “Democrat” is a noun, not an adjective. The adjectival form is “Democratic.”
  • 3-On-The-Tree Alan I agree as well. I’m 100% permanent a total disabled and get VA disability and retirement pay. In all honesty I wanted to pull the pin multiple times because of how hard it was on the family but like you said the retirement was well worth it. And your other point was also spot on about our police and EMS personnel being honorable occupations. My son is in pre nursing at the University of Az, and in my other life I was a firefighter EMT, Army Reserve Medic enlisted.
  • SaulTigh I put about 3500 miles a year on a '95 Sable, and spent just under $700 on it last year (half of that being tires), but I wouldn't drive it to California (though I think there's an 70-80% chance it would make it).On the other hand, my Benz is going to run me $2000 just for tires next month, but rides and drives better than any other car I've ever owned and I would and have driven it all over hell and gone. Yes, there are cheaper cars to own and buy out there, but I've never enjoyed one this much. Worth it to me.
