  1. On most of those wilderness living shows they always seem to riding some completely clapped out baling wire repaired sled of some sort then once the TV money kicks in after a season or two they suddenly have brand new machines sitting in the yard.
  2. Those one way shopping isles were awesome. Awesomely funny that is. The riots that ensued when someone would go down one the wrong way was hilarious. These fuckheads just will not admit they were wrong and deserve to be treated as such. There should be an unmatched in history demand for the truth and justice by all Americans that have been effected by this and instead there is fucking nothing happening.
  3. That's nothing. Previous company I worked for used Twitter as a marketing tool. If you were in a thought leadership role you were expected to Tweet as part of your job. But I can see how so many dumbocrat fucknutted sheeple think it was invented for sole use of one person to offend their fine sensibilities.
  4. Verified blue accounts were already paying five bucks a month for the privilege so this is not some new practice. What he is doing is making the fee significant enough so that it makes it more expensive to have a bot account that appears to be legit because of verification. Again, MC is so fucking stupid he likely had no clue a ton of users were already paying $60 a year to have a verified account that also limits the amount of ads displayed. Musk has been clear that he wants to crack down on bots. These are first steps by someone that knows how to run a company vs the dipshits that have been in charge there for far too long. But again, dipshits like MC have no fucking clue, just like the anti-American fuck heads that inhabited that place.
  5. Last time I made it for chicken there was in 2004 when we stayed at a place on Pelican. Is there even snow South of Antigo most years anymore? Over the last decade it seems like we are lucky to even make it on decent snow to Post Lake, Pickerel, Pearson area. Those are some excellent trails but the snow has been really hit and miss to the South. Definitely an area that we like to ride when the snow is good just seems like we can't count on it anymore.
  6. Don't understand any of those organized group rides at all. Don't have enough good riding days in the winter as it is let alone wasting an entire weekend doing that shit. Our group grows to 7 on days when everyone is there and that becomes too many.
  7. I got on the Z06 list three years ago and am #4 at my dealer. He expects at least 2 cars next year and 2 the year after. That puts me at late 24' or 25' for sure.
  8. Elon fought the acquisition at first, then realized all of the butthurt shrieks and wails alone would be worth spending a few billion.....
  9. Sold my C7 last May for $10K more than I paid for it 4 years ago (thanks covid) as I had no time to drive it last summer. Had been on the list for a Z06 for quite some time but knew that was going to be a long wait yet so went on the list for the stingray after I sold the C7. Ordered it in August and received the VIN today. Would be nice if the snow will hold off for a week or two so I can drive it home on decent roads. If production on the Z06 ramps as it should next year I am hoping for an allocation in 24' or 25' unless dumbocrats somehow manage to ban all ICE cars by then.
  10. Kanye sounds like he's smoked too much of something. He really has a hard time putting a coherent sentence together. I had no idea Adidas was the shoe of choice for the nazi's. No wonder we kicked their asses - Nike > Adidas.
  11. All of that growth was driven by exports of oil, gas and weapons to ukraine. The number is real but the average American will have no fucking clue as to what the actual reason for the uptick in growth was and that it is ZERO reason to celebrate. This thread is a perfect example.
  12. Exactly. The attitude of the left is just so far out there. Was watching the news out of Rinelander, WI this morning and caught a story about the student loan forgiveness plan. Interviewing some stupid fuck about how important it is the he receives "this money." About how, by paying off his student debt, he could then use "this money" to invest in himself. These fucking clueless shit for brains with no concept or idea at all that "this money" belongs to the American taxpayer. Being grateful that the American taxpayer was nice enough to loan them this money to better themselves in life is somehow not enough now. Now they think they deserve more and it should just be given to them.
  13. dumbocrats think she's a real american hero that deserves some special treatment. Our laws do not apply. So for those that think they singled her out perhaps SHE/He should have had just a speck of self awareness and that maybe when you are not in your native country you may have to act just a bit differently. Athletes, actors - they all think they are entitled to do and say whatever the fuck they want to and get away with zero punishment or maybe just a slap on the wrist. Why anyone would be happy this situation occurred is because of the fact that it rarely, if ever occurs..
  14. She went to russia with an illegal substance in her possession. She deserves 9 years just for being that fucking dumb.
  15. No, no, no, you heard us incorrectly, we did not say it would prevent covid it just helps you fight it off - until it doesn't and you still die of covid or it actually does help you survive and then you have all of the exact same long term side effects they warn you about that covid can cause and you could eventually die from so that hopefully if you are scared enough about those long covid side effects you will go out and get another shot of the vax.
  16. Their just reporting this now? Who is going to gamble in the market when your cash can earn a guaranteed 5% return? Most everyone I know has been moving to cash for months now. The market bloodbath has not even started yet.
  17. Elon just does not give a shit. And that's awesome. Please don't. In more important matters. Elon just does not give a shit and that's fun to watch.
  18. Don't sell Heidi short. I think she really knows what her customers want. Something not too intimidating. Krom definitely would have done a better job on that podcast. Hell, any sledder older than 15 could have come up with a better release plan for that new chassis. The diehards have already waited this long, they could have waited another year or two for a proper launch with an 850 or 860 or anything but a reworked run of the mill 600 in it.
  19. There is very little to no fucking data on side effects from the vax because nobody that I know of is even tracking it or worse yet acknowledging there could be issues.
  20. How exactly is Textron planning on shipping 24's before doo or poo ship their 23's? Besides holding onto this chassis forever they are now using a 600 only approach at launch to insure they only get a small number of orders - that is, once it can actually be ordered. I'm sure hardcore mountain mashers are on pins and needles waiting for a 600cc deep snow sled. Aside from Heidi's astute observation that cat's core does not want high performance this is my guess.... 1. Time from these 3D printed display models to full production for 24' is going to be a tough hurdle to get over in this sourcing environment. It will be a massive feat if they launch this with a modern gauge package. Something that is now considered standard equipment. 2. Current 800cc and 998T motors will not fit in the chassis so either clean sheet engine designs or significant chassis mods will be needed. Neither of which will be simple for textron as the current "new" 800cc motor is now how old? This also makes more sense as to why Yammi is likely no longer a partner. Where is the new 4 stroke turbo coming from? The 850 or 900 smoker? A smoker turbo? Textron is so far behind the curve at the moment it is going to take years to simply catch up to what other sledders already ordered last Spring.
  21. Both of my parents are still struggling with nasty side effects from the first round of shots. Neither has had covid but both continue to have terrible joint pains that move around and come and go, my mom now has had a total of 4 confirmed stroke events with no history prior. My dad woke up one morning and could not talk. Took him to the ER said maybe a slight stroke but could not tell. My mom still has blood pressure that swings from 110/70 to a high of 230/130. At one point in the ER her BP was too high for the monitor to read. Doctors have no explanation and just keep scratching their heads. Will not admit it could be an issue with the vax. Yet, none of this shit is being discussed and or studied or if it is nobody is talking. They just keep pushing the vax.... This is a fucked up world we live in.
  22. It's great cat finally decided to compete again after all of these years of floundering in the market. Even if it's only a 600 and you cannot have one in your trailer for a year or more. Competition is better for everyone that is an enthusiast of the sport. Once the new platform is proven I may dust off my 90's cat gear and own one again but they are going to have to bring a lot more than a chassis. They really do have a shit ton of work to do but it seems for now Textron is willing to infuse some cash and see if the division can revive itself. I hope they can and do.
  23. I've seen the mockup and as the cat fans have said all along, you can't patent a triangle and it looks exactly like a rev or a matryx from any angle. Were the cat engineers that dumb that it took them this long to come up with something that is nearly exactly the same combination of triangles and geometry or were they just waiting for the patent to run out while selling 1 out of every 10 new sleds sold every year. I have to believe it was the latter. As for the lawsuit. cat did not win. They just spent millions defending their ability to sell the procross chassis for really long time. Again, at a rate of 1 to 10 or less. That was not a win by any metric you use in business to measure success. So again, were the cat engineers just that dumb or was the threat of another lawsuit for something that would clearly lose in court enough to screw over loyal fans of the brand and make them wait for at least a decade?
