Latest Mis-Leading Tundra Commercial

Has anyone notice the snap shot in the new Tundra Commercial?  In the
commercial a contractor talks about when he started out  7 years ago he
needed a dependable truck and bought a Tundra (this in itself is
misleading – I doubt if 1 in a 100 contractor considered a Tunda in 2002).
He shows a snap shot of his "first" Tundra. The snap shot is of a current
body style Tundra, not the version from 7 years ago.  Was this a deliberate
attempt to mislead people, or just another bad choice by the clueless idiots
that do Tundra commercials? I don’t think any vehicle has ever been promoted
with so many obviously misleading ads. No matter how good or bad the current
Tundra may be, the ads suck.

(OT) Denver does it again..!

I must say I don’t understand why everyone says their uniforms are
ugly. These are the ONLY  uni’s they’ve had that I actually like. And
I’m a die hard raiders fan.  They’ve really got a good team. Although
they got a gift from the refs when they played the raiders..

{OT} China car output 'breaks record'

Is this on topic or off?  I think it’s on topic but not enough on topic
to be labeled on topic so I labeled it off topic.
  "Chinese annual car production has topped 10 million for the first
time as carmakers boost output to meet growing demand, state media has said.
  The 10 millionth car produced this year rolled off the First
Automobile Works Group assembly line in Changchun, the official Xinhua
News Agency reported.
  Despite the downturn and falling sales at most global carmakers,
demand for cars in China is booming.
  State incentives, such as tax cuts on small cars, have boosted sales.
  Like many other governments around the world, China has also
introduced subsidies to trade in older vehicles.
  Previously, only the US and Japan had produced 10 million cars in a
single year.
  Domestic Chinese car sales overtook those in the US for the first time
in December of last year, and this trend has continued.
  Global carmakers are now increasingly targeting China as a key growth
market.

John Kerry bravely served in combat.  You did not, and that’s why
you’re jealous of him.

(OT) George Bush brought us Shock and Awe.

Barack Obama has given us shucks and naw.

The only thing he has done of note is to buy a car company, and most of us
realize that such a purchase by the government is not a good thing.

Gitmo? Still there. Gay rights? Still aren’t any. Jobs? Lost ‘em.

Even Saturday Night Live has skewered him two weeks in a row, and they like
him.

The whole 'snowbird' thing

Heading back to Fla next week. It’s supposed to snow here tomorrow and
the next day so I’m hanging around for that. I haven’t seen snow in 8
or 9 years. Monday – Wed. when I leave will be warm enough to melt any
if it accumulates. It’d be nice to see a light coating of it.

Not sure about this snowbird thing. But once you get into it you’re
kind of trapped because you get to where  can’t take the extremes in
heat or the cold anymore..Good thing both homes are paid off.

But the down side is EVERYONE hates me. LOL.. Everyone in Pa is pissed
’cause it’s getting cold early.  I can’t even drive down the street
with my Fla tag up here with out getting road raged on, especially the
last few weeks.

And everyone I’m talking to in Fla is pissed ’cause it’s been a long,
hot, humid summer.  I try not to even mention where I am anymore when
I call (unless they ask) and my ooma phone allows me to do that .

But I didn’t anticipate how isolating it can be.. Geez. I now feel
sorry for the snowbirds who come to Florida with their out of state
tags. A lot of people rag on them and run them off of the road. It’s
not even like you have to be rich to do it, just flexable. (just
needed to vent not very many people care to listen to this ‘as a
problem’)…All I get is I wish we had your problems.. Sometimes I
wonder if they really would.

They don’t want his kind.

""It has become clear that his (Limbaugh’s) involvement in our group has
become a complication and a distraction to our intentions," said SPC
Worldwide Chairman Dave Checketts, who is leading the bid to buy the
National Football League team and keep it in St. Louis."
