    If she is walking a mile a day and meeting with a personal trainer, how about she walks into work to do her job?

    100% need to get a pair of ice cleats if you're working outside in the winter. I have like 4 or 5 pair I use for ice fishing. Can get the cheap rubber ones for like $10 a pair and they last an entire season of fishing.

    The hysteria about the magnetic north pole moving, it always has moved and obviously there is nothing that can be done about it except adapt and evolve, oh wait could that apply to the climate too? In all seriousness the magnetic north pole moving is not a navigation danger or challenge navigation is now satellite based, I don't thing a ship captain or pilot is breaking out a compass.

    Sota here you go, charging stations at Meijer here in Ann Arbor. I see quite a few Tesla's here even though we do not have any dealerships in Mi due to a funky state law.

    "A change to the law in 2014 prohibits direct sales from automakers, which is blocking Tesla from obtaining a dealership license and sell cars in the state."

    I looked it up and my friend confirmed
    "An annual service inspection is the recommended service that is performed on a vehicle every 12 months or 12,500 miles "

    Also my rant is GM, I really don't think they want to sell cars anymore.

    We ended up with a Ford Edge ST, wife ordered it last night. Ford had 60 month 0 APR and once you ordered it the deal was locked in. If a better deal comes along before the car comes in, you get that also.

    GM does NONE of this, once you order the deal you get is when it comes in 5 weeks later at that time. I asked the guy at GM what's my incentive to buy this Chevy then compared to the Ford ? He did not have a good answer

    Ford is more desperate to sell vehicles Germ, this is consumer logic companies do not give out great deals out of the kindness in their heart.

    I think you'll like the Edge. My wife bought one in 16 and it's very sporty. Lots of room, comfortable on long trips. Good in the winter. Decent mileage even. I imagine that ST is even more ballsy.

    I wonder how the Edge ST compares to the new Blazer, which is pretty cool looking at least.
    One area where GM usually kills Ford on price- pickups. Ford rarely offers 0% on trucks. Not never but more rarely than GM, and usually when GM offers it it's for 72mos vs. Ford's usual 0% for 60.

    I've seen similar articles all over the web last night and today; but I did notice that "mainstream" media isn't mentioning lack of pictures but does quote an awful lot of people saying how "amazing" she looks. Sorry, I ain't buying it. For one thing she's looked like the crypt keeper for over a decade. No amount of surgery is going to turn back that clock. She looks "better than I expected" maybe, but no way did she look "amazing."

    I drove them both, I loved the blazer FYI. If GM would have did the 0% like ford we would have bought that car, but GM is not desperate enough for me to buy a 50,000 automobile I guess.
