    I didn’t need a ‘real’ (full sized) truck, tacos have gotten stupid expensive. I did need a vehicle with good mileage as the new place will be 33+ miles from the office…and 2000+ miles from my elk hunting.

    The Maverick is now 3 months old. Avg 40.1mpg.

    Yes, the first year or two the hybrid was problematic. Hopefully the bugs are all resolved now.

    I only wish they had a long bed option.

    They make a gate add on that goes over the tailgate when it's down. It gives a bit more space.

    40 mpg is awesome!!

    The Department of Justice dropped the hammer on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, charging Jian and Liu with conspiracy, smuggling, false statements, and visa fraud.

    Musk is upset because of some EV tax credit BS that is in the Bill, Paul is upset 'cause he is Rand Paul ....there will NEVER be a perfect Bill , of any kind ... not with all the misfits in congress ... same as there will NEVER be a perfect POTUS/Politician, Trump has been the best so far ...
    there are around 160 times mostly left wing TDS Judges have put a halt to Trumps objectives ... THAT right there is slowing the progress that should have been made in many areas ....
    continue your whining, its fun to watch, you remind me of that ding bat lib on "The Five", always wrong with her lib thinking/ and on the wrong side of history .. ...

    I think they are upset it will add to the deficit. It’s more spending. Less taxes. Please tell me where the money to cover it comes from? That’s right they print it. Oh what happens when they print money? Inflation.

    We don’t need a spending bill we need to cut spending and balance the budget. They need line item bills. These big ugly bills like this and the forced Obama care you have to pass to see what’s in it are BULLSHIT!!

    Well it's my understanding it's suppose to come from the standard 10% Tariffs. That and, well I thought from the lower spending caused by DOGE. Now for the life of me I can't see how CONGRESS IS NOT SETTING THOSE REDUCTIONS IN CONGRETE as it were. It seems as if they are going against what the public at large wants. Once again they are dragging feet. Republicans pulling out their shot gun again and pointing it at their own feet.

    All the above stated, I can not help having the thought " Is this kubuki Theater between Trump and Elon?" If so, it's a raw narrative and to what end as to the Democrats reaction.., hhhmmm
