Welcome back!

Isn't your alleged pending LX600 an SUV?

Still waiting for the pictures, or did you have a change of heart based on your comment above? Oh yes, did you fly to Florida?

If I wanted to be punished ie. have no freedom, I'd move to Cuba, Venezuela, Russia or China. May I suggest you and your kind do so and leave we Hummer lovers alone. There's not a reason in the world to not have as big a gas guzzling SUV as one can afford.

I'm going to be so happy when gas pickup truck and SUV sales are banned in the coming years, as Trudeau has committed to. Your hysterical shrieking will be sooo amazing.

$2L will be politically interesting for the Liberal gov. A lot of people have no choice but to use gasoline.

Check out my LC. Like my license plate?

/deplorable

Is that the new GT3 with the Mercury 9.9 package? Or a Landcruiser with the 50:1 option?

LOL. That boat launch looks familiar. Is it north of Kingston?

What do you guys think of the new Tundra? I hope it looks better in person.

Right now I am very happy with my 2018 Ram Longhorn - buying when the lease comes up this April.

The premise of this thread is that gas prices are too high. Obviously incorrect

Higher gas prices similar to most price increases such as interest rates typically hurt the middle class...

I embrace inflation inequality as its effects are disproportionately greater on the poor.

It's the economy's way of ensuring the poor pay their fair share.

Poor JT, it's out of his control but he'll ultimately own it...

What is unclear is how much real growth we got out of the pandemic stimulus and rebound in the last 6 months. I’m not about to call it as zero until 2021 Q4 stats come in.

Banning pretty much anything folks want is a distant fantasy of lunatics. The higher gas prices go, the more poor people can't afford to drive, giving we wealthy much clearer roads for our pleasure drives. Speaking of hysterical shrieking, are you posting from a rubber room?

Amen, getting them off the roads would be a godsend for the wealthy.

I suspect the real reason the milquetoasts from the left are shrieking is the simple reality that ever since JT took over the rich have gotten immensely richer while the poor are paying for it.

You can't make this sh*t up...

300km north of Kingston as the crow flies.

Trudeau has already stated that ICE vehicles will not be able to be sold new past a certain point. That's part of the reason that auto makers are planning to stop producing in the coming years. You're going to lose this war, bro.
