Cristina Laila from The Gateway Pundit reports, North Korea on Sunday said that Joe Biden made a “big blunder” after he insulted Pyongyang’s nuclear program during his joint address to Congress and threatened “corresponding actions.”


Poster Comment:

Trump has already ended the Korean War. When Kim stepped across the DMZ and embraced the peacenik Moon, that action brought North Korea into the fold. North Korea was one of three not to have a Rothschild Central Bank. The remaining two are Iran and Cuba.

LOL, it took me a couple, three months fighting with the goob to get enough proof together to prove who I am for the new Hoosierhickistan driver's license last April. No food stamp, welfare, disability papers available. My B/C didn't have my gender on it, my SS card disappeared somewhere between Cairo and Petrograd and I'm white.

The big problem with the Pintos was the stupid gas filler neck behind the license plate. A lot of cars had that back then, but most other cars on the road weighed twice what a Pinto did. Wasn't a problem with the wagons with the filler on the side. The old P/Us with the fuel tank in the cab behind the seat were pretty cool.

Exploding Chevy Pickups And NBC Coverup

NBC rigged Chevy trucks to explode in certain tests for its weekly Dateline expose show back in November 1992. It wanted to prove that under certain conditions Chevy pickup gas tanks would blow up spontaneously. The segment was titled “Waiting To Explode.” Yeah, a lot of viewers tuned in to see if exploding Chevy pickups could kill them.

The problem was NBC didn’t tell its viewers or General Motors it set up explosives inside of the trucks to trigger the explosions to capture on film in a most dramatic way. This is not to say these trucks weren’t known for this to happen in certain collisions. These pickups built from 1973 to 1987 had gas tanks that were placed outside of the frame rails

if exploding Chevy pickups could kill them

When we drove trucks to Florida for Vestal, after our delivery we had some time to kill. We were in this titty bar. The boss's son got a call that his kid got killed in the fiery crash on the County Road. He drove all night to get home. He had a co-driver with him so they switched at the usual places.

My co driver got a lap dance. The bitch stuck her pussy in his face and he licked it. ROTFLMAO!

Oh, man. My old buddy Kip had a new one of those. It was silver with red, orange and yellow (I think) factory stripes on the side. I've always liked two-door wagons. I used to have a 78 or 79 Pontiac Sunbird wagon with a horribly underpowered 3.8l V6 and 5 speed. Some drunk kid rear- ended me before I even had a chance to desmog it and get it running right. Probably had less than 10k on the clock. I've got polaroids of that one. Those Kammbacks were a good looking car.

If I remember right, the early Crosley transmissions were purchased from Massey-Ferguson because the bolt pattern was similar, only one new hole and a couple of spacers were needed.

too small to sleep in

When I worked for Illinois Highways one winter they called me in three hours early for an 18 hour shift on weekend.

I had to stop and nap a couple of times toward the end of that one.

You just pull over and put out the lights on truck. You swing your legs across with your feet on the passenger seat. The plow controls were between your legs. We had hard hats with thermal liner and you just stuck your head in the corner of the cab and nodded off.

When you wake up and the windshield is covered with snow you know you've been sleeping. ;)

About 1995 or so I bought a 1977 GMC pickup truck. Not a bad truck for $1600: 350 cid, ran pretty good, but must have come from up North because it was pretty rusted out. (I bought the GMC to replace my 1975 F-100 because the Ford had only a lap seat belt, and I wanted a shoulder belt, which the newer GMC had.)

Before I sold the GMC in 2004, General Motors sent me a coupon for $200 off (or maybe it was $300?) any new GM vehicle, in consideration of the fire and explosion hazard that my truck's outside-the-frame-rails dual fuel tanks posed. I declined their kind offer.

#45. To: StraitGate, Esso (#43)

Before I sold the GMC in 2004, General Motors sent me a coupon for $200 off (or maybe it was $300?) any new GM vehicle, in consideration of the fire and explosion hazard that my truck's outside-the-frame-rails dual fuel tanks posed. I declined their kind offer.

In retrospect, you should have asked them to trade for a 1980 Chevy Citation. Those rarely get mentioned in Worst Car lists, but would spin like crazy once the rear brake drum locked up, passenger side if IIRC, which was like a 96% inevitability in the first 1.3 million units produced.

Quite a surprise for the unsuspecting driver. My first car was a 1974 Mercury Comet, the Maverick clone. Rear drums would lock under hard stomp, pretty much like any other car built since 1935 (ok, Ford shunned hydraulics far too long, 1938 I think), but it was controllable. I knew when they were going to lock. Was able to avoid an accident once by skidding, getting car sideways a little, correcting path, and moving forward. And it was a hoot on gravel roads.

The GM X-Cars, on the other hand, would just spin out of control under even mild maneuvers due to design flaw. And the electronics were junk too.

“I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs
