It might be a selling point if you are a person that transports lots of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

Meaning when Dems don’t have control there will be more terrorist attacks like New Orleans a Las Vegas? At least these two terrorists are dead. New Orleans straight anti-American. Las Vegas more just anti-Trump. Edit…. or it may have been a pro-Trump loony! What a way to show your admiration…. Blow up a car outside his hotel! |

It's a selling point because obviously the truck is solidly built it doesn't even fall apart even when exploded. Which would you feel safer riding in, a truck that's built like a tank or something that can be crushed like a tin can. Of course it's a selling point. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I'd say it's a great selling point. I just wish the truck wasn't so damned ugly... |

Truck is still totaled. Crumple zones saves lives. Odds of me being in any impact equaling that explosion is extremely low, and probably still be killed inside an intact truck. You’d need a real tank. Should we become Afghanistan, maybe I’ll start considering one. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

Or an old Volvo. I've owned and driven them for decades: closest thing to "a real tank." Our 740 Turbo was rear-ended by a small Japanese sedan while we were stopped at a light; the only damage to the Volvo was a bent bumper, but the other car was totalled. My daily driver, an '82 Volvo Turbo, is close to being built like the proverbial "tank:" love that thick Swedish steel and the large, functional, stout bumpers. Have you noticed how "real" bumpers seem to be going the way of the dodo bird on modern cars? My wife's newer CX-5 Turbo has what seems to be decorative plastic where real bumpers used to be: is this real progress? |

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 160 Posts: 5503 | But yeah, the cybertruck is one UGLY mo-fo. Oh, this just in...the guy in the truck who blew himself up? He was a big fan and supporter of Trump. Go figure... |

| DoubleGold Member since: Jan 26, 2023 Threads: 34 Posts: 4246 | It seems like world holdouts are converting to MAGA. For example, META is now a free-speech advocate. But of course, some will never make the conversion until having extreme pain, like Biden, Trudeau, & Macron. |

I put up a post that FB is known to censor a few hours ago, still up so maybe they are serious. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

FB should be forced to give the FB_I the cash back they received from taxpayers for censoring conservatives without our knowledge so they could steal the previous election. Imagine accepting taxpayer money from conservatives and then using that same money to censor conservatives. |
