Before I got permabanned from Threads for impersonating myself, I used to follow an account that used to do this aaaaalllll of the time.😏

Oof! That first year had them all sounding( and running) like lawn mowers. The coupe of any of the divisions would likely yield the fewest of disappointments.
I feel bad for the Cimarron owners, and the money that they parted with.

I recall Carroll Shelby saying that it was his favourite modified production car… don’t know if he changed his mind in his last years.

And that would be the first of them, since they’ll likely treat it even worse than a human. They’ll get mad that it’s falling apart under their abuse, buy one or two β€œimproved” models, and then go back to sulking.

Age verification? Playing in the back yard as a child, I could regularly hear tests of the air raid siren.

Mum keeps handing me recently-excavated ones, saying, β€œCan you fix this?”
There are about a dozen LED flashlights in the house that dwarf whatever the broken ones did.

Grade school technicalities. Regularly speaking = not a single word( because it was a multitude of words).

The rationale would be to prevent them from suddenly naming victims like they had sex-offender tourette’s, but as all have said, it’s just to control the narrative.

My aunt had one of these in sky blue. There was a theme to the era.
( And it was a terrible car to drive: massive blind spots all around, vague steering, and unassisted brakes on a surprisingly heavy car.)

All of the rights belong to Republicans. Only their speech, only their guns, only their laws for their own protection.

We had two go that way. I don’t know if it’s connected, but both had Persistent Puppy Membrane.
I can tell you, you don’t want to be standing in front of a Pyrenees when they get death in their eyes.😬

That one was a tragic case. The separation anxiety resulted in not just the doors, but any laundry that fell within his reach.
There’s a Pyrenees-thing that around two-years old, they can get hostile, and he turned right at that age.

Canada had an elite military force called The Canadian Airborne Regiment. Best of the best.
They tortured and killed a young Somali who had snuck into their compound to steal food and whatever.
The regiment was disbanded in disgrace.
One stolen life was one too many, and ICE’s body count?

I had a cat that figured out that my going to bed created a warm spot, which after he would β€œcoax”( annoy) me into giving up for his own self.

That is, until it cooled off and I had created a *new* warm spotβ€¦πŸ˜‚

We did that with our Pyrenees. One had separation anxiety, and dug through three doors and removed a significant chunk of doorframe.
When my parents got their Polish Lowland Sheepdog, he was crated. There was no worrying about his high energy throughout the night, or when they were away.

A certain Teutonic government started annexing surrounding countries in order to help cover their devastatingly bad economic policies.
Without the invasions, they would have made their fatherland go broke long before their military destruction.
The more things change…

Liz Oyer( former pardon attorney for the DOJ) has some caveats to that idiot’s statement. He’ll get more people killed, and the perpetrators potentially jail time.
