Nah, Chicagos a great town with excellent food, culture, museums and events. Lots of festivals in the summer, it runs along a beatuiful lake with nice beaches, it has great people, all in all I love Chicago. Full disclosure, there are neighborhoods with high crime, it is unfortunately super segregated, and cold as hell in the winter.

I mean I very much want an electric truck just not for $70,000+, I need a a vehicle that can do the following:

• Carry a 4 person family
• Is reliable/newer/won’t break down
• Can do trips to the hardware store/hold lumber/drywall/etc on occasion
• Can move furniture/appliances on occasion
• Can move hay/straw on a semi regular basis
• Bonus points if I can take off road/on mountain trails

If there was an affordable electric truck that could do this I would buy it, but I bought my (used) Tacoma for about $25k 4 years ago and I really can’t justify anything more expensive then that.

So if they can bring electric trucks down in price, I will buy one, and I want it to look like a truck, I would never consider a cyber truck, thats beyond ugly.

Ford lays off 700 who were building electric version of F-150 | CNN Business::Ford is laying off about 700 workers who build the F-150 Lightning, the electric version of its best-selling pickup truck, and unlike other recent layoffs this one has nothing to do with the ongoing strike by the United Auto Workers union.

Ugh, no I don’t want to throw a bunch of hay and straw inside a van, you’ll have straw stuck in the crevices of the dashboard forever.

Code documentation is like sex, when it’s good it’s great, and when it’s not good…it’s still better then no documentation.

If a flag is on the right side of your body (or in this case car) then it’s reversed otherwise it’s normal.

The U.S. flag appears backward on military uniforms when worn on the right side, so the canton is assaulting forward. This reflects the image of the American flag flying in the wind, the blue union field always moving forward to symbolize the bravery and commitment of military service members.

One or two well behaved dogs and it’s awesome.
