87 years since Kristallnacht, we remember the victims and impact of these horrific antisemitic attacks, and we are reminded of the consequences when hate goes unchecked.
May the memory of the Kristallnacht victims be a blessing. Never forget, and never again.

Met this dude today. A 4-horn sheep is like a 6-wheel G-Wagen. Both bizarre and cool at the same time.

We’ve been talking about this for a while. With high interest rates, average monthly payment of $750, average loan length approaching 70 months, with some loans at 96 mos, most buyers will be upside down for a very long time. This is going to be bad.
WSJ: “.. the portion of subprime auto loans that are 60 days or more overdue on their payments hit a record of more than 6% ..”

You can be a “car guy” and not like car dependency. You can be a “car guy” and get that too many cars in cities is bad for everyone, including drivers. You can be a “car guy” and be tired of lies & manipulations like “the war on cars.” You can be a “car guy” and know more choice means more freedom.

I've been to the Grand Canyon a couple of times. The last time I was there I picked up a book titled: "Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon." You would be surprised at how many people have driven off the edge.

As the weather begins to cool, and thoughts turn to...driveway plowing, who wouldn't love a Smart with a plow? Just needs some proper wheels and winter tires.
