Currently happening at World Ford/ Group 1 Ford in Pensacola. Thinking maybe having a Ram pull up with your product on a trailer and that sign attached to it might mean you wanna escalate his warranty claims

I'm watching the new Grand Tour series on Amazon Prime, with the new guys, and it's good. They've done some interesting new things, and shown a few things that I'd never heard of... like, cutting cars in half in Kaula Lumpur for tax purposes, making their parts affordable

How to avoid the Chicago railyards... put the trains on ferrys and take them across the lake, and the SS Badger is the last of the coal fired steam engine powered ships that were built to do that, which makes it part of US Highway 10, and M-90, and a National Historic Landmark (thank you Brad!)
