    Especially about a major event that may not have gone how you wanted it to.
    --- Post updated ---
    I'm thinking of ways to change the subject, even though no one will listen.

    I have an idea, even though it calls to mention Trump one more time (at least by me anyway).

    Apparently, when Ford announced that production of several of its cars were being transferred Mexico, with Trump being not so happy about that, it was mentioned by a Ford official that the Ranger and the Bronco was coming to the Michigan Assembly.

    How about we talk about the Ranger and the Bronco? I think it would be awesome to see them come back. Well, over in different areas, the Ranger is still going, but the Bronco has yet to face a comeback.

    it's already been confirmed that ford is bringing the ranger to the US (the new version in other countries, not the old compact pickup) http://www.caranddriver.com/features/2019-ford-ranger-25-cars-worth-waiting-for-feature

    the bronco has also been confirmed to be coming back, allbeit based on this new ranger and not the f-150: http://www.autoblog.com/2016/10/03/ford-bronco-coming-back-michigan-america-official/ and in the car and driver feature above "The Ranger will also spawn a new Ford Bronco SUV, which will offer some competition to the Jeep Wrangler. Broncos should arrive in 2020 with a starting price of $30,000."

    Yeah, the newer Ranger was what I was talking about. I honestly think it's a pretty good looking truck.
    I think it favors the Chevrolet Colorado in some aspects. So, could we see some competition between the Colorado and the Ranger?

    Who else agrees that they look similar?

    they do indeed look kind of similar, which is probably the point as once ford starts selling the new ranger, it's going to be competing with the colorado as they are both in the same segment: compact trucks (although TBH they aren't all that compact, they're actually similar sizes to older full-size pickup trucks)

    Possibly worth mentioning that Donald Trump does owe the NSA and FBI a thank you at this point and unless he is getting his kids in the whitehouse to "cyber" I doubt he will have any idea whatsoever when it comes to the implications of tech related policies. Not that the alternative was better informed, just that they had a personal reason to give the middle finger to the NSA and FBI :p

    I am however looking forward to seeing what decisions he will make once he gets into power. Its always far more interesting to follow the news when there are several wild cards at play so it should make for some decent reading.

    no they brought the bronco back, this new ranger is much bigger then the old one, in fact if we compared it to a full-sized truck of the time the original pickup came from, it's going to be of similar size

    also they're, not the're

    The new Ranger just looks like another mushy "midsize" truck. Not a fan. Putting the ranger badge on it doesn't make it any more appealing.
    Stop trying to steer the subject around. The topic will go where it does.

    You know with Ford selling the Mustang overseas why hasn't Chevrolet or Dodge done the same with their muscle cars?

    Who knows?

    By muscle cars you're talking about the modern Camaro and Challenger right? Usually, when I think muscle car, I think about the older ones we all recognize like the Mopars.

    Yup. I would like to see our government replacing the Commodores in our fleet with Chargers that would be awesome, but then our government don't think that way.

    I know here in the US there are several that use Chargers as police units. Well, modern ones that is.

    I think the Holden Commodore is a good looking car. However, I heard about its American variant, the Chevrolet SS first, and I heard of it because NASCAR has used the SS.

    Thing is, I don't think I've ever seen an actual Chevrolet SS before. Whenever I thought I saw one, I had mistaken another Chevrolet, for example a Malibu for one.

    Speaking of Charger police cruisers, in a few years, they'll all be pretty cheap...

    Crown Victoria but even better

    Went to RoR forum and had a look today. Still wondering why there are more RoR modders than BNG does

    Apparently they do?

    The last time I checked they only sold this sort of thing so obviously a slight change in heart to only selling sports cars.
