Who knows how many failures the 6.2 had? 39 disgruntled gm 6.2 owners made reports to the NHSTA but there could be many many more that didn’t report their engine failures to the NHSTA. had a 6.2 ford blow up after the ford dealer didn’t put oil in it on an oil change. I didn’t report it to the NHSTA cause it didn’t cost me anything to get the vehicle on road. Probably hundreds if not 1000’s of gm small blocks 6.2’s blew up but owners didn’t report the problems to the NHTSA cause they were taken care of like the 39 that likely weren’t. One of the poasters here had a new 6.6 gm gasser blow up on him and I don’t think he filed a report withthe NHSTA

Owners that have reported the failures to the NHSTA…. Many haven’t reported the failures to that government agency. Gm will have to let them know how many total now that they are being investigated

Being investigated for being prone to catastrophic failures https://tfltruck.com/2025/01/gm-l87-v8-engine-investigation-news/

Refiners are taking gut punches as well at the current prices at pump. US is losing 3% of its refining capacity this year as well Yet, the EIA expects falling refining capacity in America to slow the decline of U.S. refining margins. U.S. refining capacity is set to drop by 3% this year, the EIA says, with LyondellBasell’s Houston oil refinery closing, and the Los Angeles refinery of Phillips 66 scheduled for closure by the end of 2025. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/US-Refiners-Face-New-Challenges-in-2025.html

Oil majors are borrowing money to pay dividends and buy stock. Also have no plans to increase production in the US in the foreseeable future do to lack of profits producing oil https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/Big-Oils-Profit-Warnings-Bode-Ill-For-Trumps-Drilling-Bonanza.html

You must have me confused for somebody else.

Got rid of a bunch of shit to make room to get a new/old 3rd vehicle in the garage.

State rights. Lots of states have banned them.

Powerlines are not a green energy crusade…. They need those powerlines from even coal plants. My statement has nothing to do with green energy dumb dumb

Tesla to score billions in 2025 from rivals like Ford, Toyota, Stellantis etc…. Just in Europe. https://www.motor1.com/news/746625/tesla-get-billion-rivals-eu-regs/

Why? LAWPD would invest huge amounts in fixing the messed up fire starting powergrid like PG&E has been. They are putting huge money into the grid and the buckets of cash are pretty large going into workers pockets.

We renamed a bunch of military bases and likely spent 10’s of millions if not more doing it. Renaming the Gulf of Mexico probably wouldn’t cost anything.

Chinese are partner with most of those that we spent trillions blowing to shit. Taliban/Afghanistan is seeing a lot of Chinese investment as they have started some rather large mining projects as a team. US is kind of screwed as we are stuck in our old ways which use to be successful but no longer works in a modern world.

Hope it’s powerlines that started this. $$$$$ fuck ya!

Turo is where individuals rent their own vehicles. Like vrbo but for cars

Elon with this Optimus robots are probably less then a decade away from replacing the fruit and vegetable pickers that will work around the clock and don’t need porta potties and hand wash stations in the fields.

The acceleration when that lightning took a right and punched it down Bourbon street was impressive. He had to have it in Sport mode

Voter registration could reveal who is behind it. If you have a clever pet name for either of those people you are a likely suspect which is millions of people in the US currently. Turo rentals are going to have a good looking at is my guess with the way the start of 2025 is going. 2 incidents today that are being investigated as terrorist incidents and with Turo rentals behind each. 😂 “According to a law enforcement official, the truck was rented via the Turo app and appeared to have a load of fireworks. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.”

One of Elon’s trucks at a Trump property loaded with a bunch of firework mortars…. 🤔 who in the US doesn’t like Trump and and Elon?

US needs to improve its Air defenses for our carrier groups. US Navy are a dismal 50% success rate on taking down US f18’s the past few days. We would probably have more like 10% chance or less taking down modern fighters from an adversary.

Why couldn’t they just tie on debt or use general funds to shore up SS?

Try about 8+ years. Russia Dossier was Clinton fiction story.

Watching American’s fighter progress is like watching Custer’s last stand. Asia is going to swallow up the big 3 except for maybe Tesla and Rivian. All the big domestics have been at Mar a Lago asking trump not to reverse course as our domestics are getting their ass collectively thumped globally

Tesla semi has 3 motors and each are 100 lbs motors by themselves. Same motors are used in the Tesla plaid models.

This doesn’t concern your energy. Trump wants to Tariff Europe into buy massive amounts of our oil and gas. If they don’t buy it then we get tariffs on EU goods.
