minus the salvage value of the vehicle


People don’t realize what a huge part of this is especially on a newish vehicle. Wrecked cars that can be repaired bring good $ at copart. Insurance starts looking at what they can get compared to storage fees, repairs and rental car fees and just total the car. Especially when parts supplies are tight.

They will eventually need to raise the income limit that is taxed. It sits at $184k.
Are they going to raise the benefit? That's a 12+ percent increase on someone like a self employed doctor's salary above the limit. Will that help job numbers or healthcare prices?

I’ll ask them this weekend at TX2K. The event owner just got a ZR1X so I’m sure he’ll be high on the list to get it done. He mentioned he thinks he can get an 8.8 out of it.

Just saw they got an 8.7 out of it today off the trailer during TX2K testing. I don’t know if it was Peter driving or not. Probably Brooks driving.

Is the ZR1X awd?

Yes. Electric motors to the front wheels. 1000 HP to the rears.

Try Costco Travel for Bora Bora. We used them for the St Regis in 2024. Can't say that it will hit your number but we saved a good bit by buying their package.

Your point about checking the shock maintenance makes more sense now. My first thought was that most raptors probably don’t need that but you proved me wrong.
They still probably don't but that is the recommended service interval for normal street use. Shorter mileage for more off road involved.

I get spoiled and have to remind myself when driving a sports car in the city that I need to slow the F down before I tear something up.

Raptors are Bro trucks meant for showing off. They serve no purpose
They drive like sports cars but ride like Cadillacs. Great for bombing the mean streets of New Orleans. I slow down for absolutely 0 potholes/huge bumps/pavement shifts and upheavals. Have you ever driven one? I've owned a couple I really don't think there is a better all around vehicle for the money.
Theoretically, shocks are supposed to be rebuilt at every 50k on Raptors.

Did you make a promise…for better or worse?


Of course I did and most of the time it's very good. Just saying people change. The person you marry as you say (choose better) is sometimes not the same 20+ years down the line. But I forgot your life is perfect. Carry on sir.

Make better decisions on who you marry, or be a better husband.
Is your wife in menopause yet? If not STFU. I love my wife to death but some days I swear she is not the woman I've been married to for almost 26 years. I shut my mouth, shake my head and move on with my day.

The kind of people who are gonna buy this already have Ferraris and Lambo’s.


Or at least could afford them if they wanted. I know 2 people that got these. One is in Covington/Folsom area and is a certified Ford nut. Has both modern generations of the Ford GT and many special ford models from the 40's to the GT. That is the #1 type of buyer for this car. Has FU money and loves Ford.

Are people in Livingston parish doing the same? Riding dirt bikes and 4 wheelers and golf carts on the road.

Yes or No

Your answer is the answer you seek.

LOL they should stop them too. In some neighborhoods golf carts are legal. Many of those ATVs in New Orleans are stolen. Keep reaching.

I'm a 50 something year old white dude and if I started poppin the wheelies up and down my street the sheriff's office would be over here in minutes.

Yeah repairing not building something new. Nice try


Notice I said "new"

It is part of the billion $ river city project and they will start on the new 1000 room Omni Convention Center hotel pretty soon. But ok.

Get the TC5
Don’t get a TR

The TC is the old school turn knob (not digital) and it has a legit agitator.

Get that, and you will be happy!

Yes it will wash your comforter
Aren't these rough on clothes? Not exactly washing horse blankets over here lol.

Our 3 year old TR7 set has been great.
Level flooring (showroom in W covington) installed our engineered wood and did all of ort tile work, building shower pans etc. Would recommend. Had one small problem I noticed down the road and they came right out. This was almost 6 years ago at this point, all good. I have also heard good things about Krause flooring

How big of an erection would it have to be to satisfy you? There is a crane on the new Shell building by the convention center.
JD power 90 day initial quality is a huge thing in the auto industry and has been for decades.
built our "realistic dream home" in 2020. 3.25% jumbo. Not planning to ever move. BUT if we did it would be to a much smaller place/placeS and would likely pay cash at that point.
