It’s Bloomberg, fuck off. 

I’m not reading the article but I would imagine it’s policy not to allow employees to give interviews, unless authorized.  No matter what the topic.

I'm through episode 4 of Season 1.  I'd gotten most of the way through S1 a few years ago but it kinda lost me.  I'm starting over from the top.

Thing that bugs me the most about the show is the mismatched sounds of the boat engines from reality.  Malibus and Sea Rays don't sound like that.  lol

That’s drives me nuts all of the time, happens often. 4 stroke bikes that sound like 2 strokes, Civics with V8’s. 
 

But are you sure the Sea Ray doesn’t have Captains Choice exhaust? It’s been known to happen.

One of my buds had his life turned upside down after getting bit by a tick at Kentucky lake. His body has been attacking itself ever since. He is a shell of his former self. 

Good friend from high school died from it a while back. Crazy.

Perfect.  Ill let you know the total and then you can paypal me later!  Probably get it out tomorrow.  I have a grocery story getting 18 cases tomorrow so that is when it will go out.

When you’re ready to go to market I’ll buy some. I go through quite a bit of Meat Church and Dizzy Pig, getting pretty low.

He got arrested. I don't recall the outcome after court..  Good old days at HCS.

Over 17 years of this forum thing, there have been some doozies.

Haha. I remember that. He is on the TV now. 

Didn’t he end up in jail, or am I thinking of someone else?

Lots of Chinks coming in for GM & Ford

Haha nice, you know it’s 2020 and we can’t say that shit anymore.

Theres all kinds of automotive around here as I’m sure you know. Apart from the big 3, there are quite a few other manufactures with a decent work force. VW, Audi, etc etc have thousands alone. Then you have hundreds of tier 1, 2, and 3 suppliers. They’re all back and forth  to Asia and Europe frequently, stuck in airports and planes full of sick people.

Hell I was just in Toronto stuck in meetings for 3 days with guys that just got back from China and Italy. Easy to see how it spreads so quickly.

The city of Detroit and Wayne County is lower income and big portion of the population in Detroit has underlying medical issues. Oakland County is affluent and I would think generally more healthy so not sure the issue there.

I was wondering about this and though it may have a lot to do with the auto industry, the amount of overseas travel is pretty significant for a relatively dense area. And I’m sure the unhealthy population certainly contributes.

New RR for me is around 13,500

renegade XRS is over 19 if not 20

plus the sales tax on the difference in the extra price 

no thanks 

Sure, but you’re on the opposite end of normal with pretty much everything.

Flat out better deal than the Cat.   Anyone with half a brain can understand this.  

I’m sure the Cat is a fine sled, makes zero sense to consider one over the other two however. I’m amazed how many dealers AC has lost.

Brandon never called me back with a price.   The best quote I’ve had was from Nelson’s. And I like those guys.

 

It took some effort. Try email, brandon@us27motorsports.com

It really is but for few hundred more I would rather buy closer to home. I'm really leaning towards an Indy XC 650...Extreme gave me a good price which I can't exactly recall right now...I have everything written down at the shop. 

I’d always take the dealer I like if the difference is minimal. Always liked Extreme though, they took good care of me a couple times.

With the fancy gauge?

Yep

Just now, Jimmy Snacks said:

Only a year and I realize that factors in. Extreme in Gaylord had good prices on both Poo and Doo snowchecks. 

Yeah there’s the big difference, the Poo and Doo are 4 year. But that’s a good deal for the Cat.

What dealer?

US27 Motorsports. Loaded up XRS Gade 850 was 15K.

I was quoted 12,400 OTD for a 2021 800RR

Warranty?

$14k OTD for a 800RR.  $16k OTD for a 850 VR1 or 850 XRS.

Incorrect on both the poo and doo.

I got a quote for 14,800 on the VR1 with the options I picked (129 1.5 track, 850 and ES) The cat RR was 13,700.

14,800 OTD for the one I snowchecked. 137 with the 1.5 Storm.

I’ll give you the shocks (RR) and slightly better handling. The etec is a way better motor, performance and gas and oil, no way on the belts, fit and finish way better, I put the track on I like.

I think the VR1 is going to be the best sled on the trail next season. And the cat will continue to fall further behind.

Doo also improved the handling and suspension again in 21, while AC remains the same.

I can only get through a couple episodes at a time, it’s just hard to comprehend. 

Would be as ridiculous as buying a GM pick up. Both are woefully behind the competition, given up on R&D, and will likely be out of business soon. 

One of the best TV characters of all time.

I learned a lot from early driving incidents, you never know what happens at the limit until you reach the limit.

You’re 100% right Vince. I learned what to do and not to do on sleds, quads, and dirt bikes...before driving.  This one refused any and all lessons. Buy him a nice bike, implore him to take care of it so it turns into a dirt bike. Nope, leave it muddy in the rain, drop it behind parked cars....so it’s run over. 

Life is tough sometimes.

Which vehicle, and how much damage?

2016 Focus, I was against buying him a decent car. I was right, but you know who will never admit that.

One rear end, one side swipe, one backing into parked car, and one where his buddy kicked the car after a scuffle. If my daughter wasn’t fantastic, I’d have thunk I’d failed as a parent.

Despite your best efforts...some kids pay attention..and some do not. We have the latter.

There was a reason I took snowmobiles away from him at an early age. 

Our 16 year old had more incidents in 4 months, than I’ve had in 30 years. Guess who hasn’t driven in 6 months.
