If this is true please explain how all cars going thru the dyno test have a vin number displayed on the big screen the drivers are watching. This is at the end of the assembly line but before the water bath and exit from the plant ot the lot.

Your service, my service, my father's, my wife's, and my stepson's service all went to protect Ken's right to think anything he wants about the current occupant of the White House. I hold similar opinions about him.

I agree with mdfoster regarding Ken.
Political virulence should not be injected in this forum. And for others to not come out strong in support of mdfoster is shocking. Ken should stop making political statement and concentrate on providing us good information which he has been doing for a while.

Or PR&C.

I didn't serve in the military to support censorship. If you don't like someone's avatar ignore it, don't get butthurt and demand the forum be changed just for you.

Well, after serving in the Navy for 21 yrs and working Navy Trident systems for 17 yrs after, I can say that I’ve NEVER heard a career officer or senior enlisted say anything nice about the Peanut Farmer Carter, Slick Willie Klinton or the current Dear Leader. They’ve all really disliked those three. Why? They always considered the military political pawns and expendable for achieving their goals.

Ken’s avatars bring smiles to my face. Don

I'm offended by your suggestion that his avatar is offensive. But the most dangerous part is your suggestion that his expression be removed.
Too many have given so much, so that people can express their opinion. If you love Obama then change your avatar to reflect your fondness of him!

Is it safe to say that once you reach 3000 you are safe from constraints?

Wow, a thread of mine started in Jan 2014, now resurrected. Never thought it would have this sort of life.

Do I like my car?? Absolutely, love it. My only regret is that it took nearly 6 mo to get it, 4 of the months being blown off by a local dealer. Yes, over time, I’ve heard tons about the big dealers. Will be a consideration in the future but I intend to keep this beast for a long time. Don
