But I see a lot of people buying things they can't afford these days.

Your eye sight should be a personal issue and not to be a direcive toward others and their choices.

Yesterday, on about a 6 mile round trip, my wife noticed and commented about SUVs made by Porsche, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Volvo, Mazada, Toyota, Nissan, Kia, Lexus, Acura, Integra, Honda, Suburu (the new real one), Volkswagen and of course basically every American made car line including Cadillac and Lincoln.
These Volvo's ain't for liberals:

We love ours!....

That would be a simple way to cut down on the problem. Apparently they are so averse to getting into any contact with immigration authorities that they have instructed the Police to look the other way to a great extent. I don't know how far it extends. I'm sure they take them in for DWI, but I fear they might just impound the car and cut them loose when they sober up.

There is an immigration attorney named GORDON QUAN on the city council who has been up to all kinds of shenanigans.

And as the large house is downsized, there too goes the need for a wheeled dinosaur to haul lumber, furniture, plumbing. The day of the dinosaurs is done
"The large house is downsized"? What no growth/slow growth town do you live in?...

No need to haul lumber, plumbing? Tell that to all the new Home Depots Etc. sprouting up (we have 3 Home Depots + one to be soon completed, Lowes, and too many lumber/hardware stores to count within 30 minutes of my house)

Sorry, I guess that wasn't clear. I was compressing demographic changes over time into the purported experiences and decisions of one representative family. When the kids, move out, there's no need for a large house.

Cheers!

Oh, you bet, they are cute. We have a pet friendly B&B, and I've had all sorts of breeds, but afraid not one of those yet. Standard poodles are a wonderful breed also. Used to have a black one.

Why should we wait and let the politicians sell out this country to the illegal immigrants and labor unions. We (the Baby Boomers) have the financial wherewithal and soon, the time to make any issue our own.

I say find the politicians that dance to our tune and we can go back to our glory days of muscle cars, woodstock, free-love (ugh, may have to temper that a bit), you name it.

This country is being sold down the river, I think we should go out in glory. If we play our cards right we can amass enough wealth to let our kids carry on. Let all those new arivals do the jobs American's won't do.

Our 2003 has a T6... (twin turbo inline 6 268 HP). But now you can get them with a V8.

If keeping the grandkids safe is a liberal thing, count me in.

When I ever I read stuff like this, it just makes me want to go out and buy a Hummer to tick people like you off. Two dollar and poor milegae or not I don't care. You sound just like Arrianna Huffington.

Thanks for posting that picture.

It appears the 8 passenger Suburban isn't new fad for current evil conservatives.

We need some good police work at the local and state levels besides better border control.

There's a reason SUVs are marketed to the lizard-brained.

Careful, your ignorant bigotry is showing. Now try to stop being a jerk.
