Doesn't US have a reserve of oil? Can we not run on that? If how long can we go?

I'm sure this will turn into a shit show, just like everything does when it comes to brand discussions ... but here goes.  I'm in the market for a new truck, and originally had planned on picking up a new 2021 F150 with the 5.0 in it (I currently own a 2015 with the 3.5 eco).  If Ford had new trucks available, and my local dealer was able to get the truck I want, this thread wouldn't even exist.  However, Ford's slow to deliver so it's got me looking elsewhere.  Before anyone says it .... I want nothing to do with a RAM, so don't even bother.  The other truck I'm looking at is the GMC with the 6.2 in it.  I know every brand has their flaws, and the haters will tear down the other brands but I'm just curious on guys who've owned the 6.2 GMC.  Horror stories?  Good feedback?  Looking for personal experience vs. articles on the web.

I was in same boat, Ford wouldn't even deal, chevy same thing. My brother bought a RAM and loves it. So I test drove one. That's all I'm gonna say. Hope you can find what your looking for. Hard these days due to this chip shortage. Not a lot of trucks on lots here. Slim pickens!

Is that pipe being trenched the whole way, shot with a mole/gopher or pipe bursting?? 24 inch pipe that gotta take a few minutes to fuse together...lol 

Almost all the way, we will have about 1000 ft we have to dig, connect the 2 pieces together and add more to tie in on both ends. Its a bore rig that makes the hole....yes takes a bit of time!!

Each pipe comes in what, 50' lengths?  Damn that pipe looks expensive as hell.

How are they conjoined?  Melt together or some kind of fitting?

Yes we bring in a big hydraulic machine that has a heat plate. The ends of the pipe are preped then hydraulically moved to the 2 sided heat plate. Once hot, heat plate is removed and pipes are pushed together. They are help while the "weld" to cool and take effect.  We did a 900 foot run on the other side of the job under a freeway. Once all pipe runs are in, we will dig in between the pipes and join them all together, making 1 long pipe.

Russian President Vladimir Putin would not have invaded Ukraine had President Trump still been in office, a majority of Americans said according to the results of a new poll. The survey released Friday from the Harvard Center for American Political Studies (CAPS)-Harris Poll found that 62% of Americans believed Putin would not have pulled the trigger if Trump were still president, The Hill reported.

He was hoping poopie pants Joe would just go hide in his basement!

Oh I thought by the title it was about mainecat spouting off again!

Well we will start off nice and easy, I like to show my dad's leather work off. Lost art here! For Browning fans, look close you will see the logo. Again all hand formed, sewn, dyed...This is my Browning Challenger II. Gun is in great condition, fun and cheap to shoot....Enjoy, just a tease, more to come.....

Quick story behind the holster, I live in Ohio dad in Florida, so most designs are done over the phone or via email. This one was kind of a surprise from him. I gave him the basic idea I was looking for and let him work it from there. I got the call, holster is on the way, few days later package at my house....Dad called that night said well how do ya like it? Told him dad I love it but it's worthless to me! He said what!!! Said dad you have known me my whole life....Uhhh I'm left handed you made it right!!! He felt so bad, week later my lefty showed up and I love it!!! So many comments on it when I'm out.....

Well boys n girls..show your toys, I'll get some up after work today.

They retired and/or died...I’m just glad that people with money have stepped up to own teams. Why do MJ, Emmitt and Pit Bull bother you so much? 
Hendrick, Penske, Childress, Roush, Wood Brothers, Petty are still there....but not for long.

Buy a football team! I also like the guys with the money stepping up, However I prefer the guys who were brought up in the sport. MJ admits he was "racist" hated white people, come on.....So it's OK to support that?
