Indeed kind of what I am reading. Thats at least part of the reason deaths are not spiking as hard, plus we are getting better at treatment protocols. The only problem is, those young people expose us, at risk population .

 

Its amazing the conversations I have at work, sadly usually with people that share my political views. 

I was told today that cases were not up, that they just reported them all at once. Uhh no baby that's not how statistically trends work. Then I was told its all a govt lie. My favorite is, how many people do you know personally that have died of the virus. I asked, how many people do you know that died of aids, but yet 7000 have died .

Sometimes I feel like I am in the Matrix, and no one knows it

I'm with you.  I don't even want to talk to people anymore.  I start work on Wednesday and I am scared.  Had a training today and we had masks on but my boss was right up in my face without a mask!  I know it typically doesn't affect young healthy people too badly.  But like you said, these people give it to those of us who are at risk.

We had over 2k new cases today. Sunday is usually a little bit lighter due to reporting trends. We are spreading much more rapidly than the trens that led to a quarantine.

You are spot on. People in the biz have no respect for most European brands. Mercedes and BMW especially.  Terrible resell. Shody quality and crazy expensive to work on. We see a lot of people trying to trade when the warranty runs out.

Pilot and Highlander both good choices. Off the top off my head I think the Aviator is bigger? I hope you have better luck with Lincoln. I agree new year model in a domestic is a bit off a dice toss, but I am married also. Also agree on land rover, its not a solid vehicle. 

 

 

On a side not I drove my first Land Cruiser the other day. They are not a lot out there. I had to gake it for window tinting.  That thing was a tank and rode like nothing I had ever driven. Really nice. But that darn was almost 90k. Ouch.

I'll say that some of the new Mercedes interiors are fantastic.  My wife's car is a 2016 C-300 and it is really nice inside.  I have a patient that is a retired Mercedes mechanic and he says "they are nice cars, but you do NOT want to own one out of warranty"  

 

Interior in the new Lincoln Aviator is pretty darn nice too.  Rivals the Euro luxury brands.  Just hope they have all the bugs worked out by now.  Never owned a Ford product before, but did get to drive my father's Pinto wagon back in the late 70's.  I trust they are doing a little better now.

If I was going to own a domestic it would probably be a Ford Product.

I have been looking at the new Yukon AT4s. They will do everything I need and then some. But I might just wait until 2022 before I buy one. 

 

Oh btw they are putting diesels in the 2021 Suburbans and Yukon XLs

The places that should've stayed shut down if any of this idiocy behind shutdowns were sensible (and based on health rather than political/religious targeting) from the start.

Yeah, going to a noisy bar and trying to have a conversation while maintaining a six foot distance or while wearing a mask is kind of difficult.

Yeah, it is the same engine they introduced in the light duty pickup in 2019/2020.  I think it is the straight six, not the big V8.

It's always about respecting space. If we all did that and took enough care for each other to practice good hygiene, less polluting, and eating right we'd likely be a less sicker population.

I was once engaged to a Greek so I know all about that.

No, the AT4 has the V8. You must be thinking of the Rams because they have a V6 HD Diesel truck
