Green Bay ain't no slouch. 1887-1888 they recorded 147" for the season: http://goldensnowglobe.com/cities-highest-seasonal-snow-totals/ To date, 2018-2019 = ~53"

2017 we had 26" for season. 2018 we had 36" 2019 = 41" so far. Been a very snowy year. https://www.weather.gov/lot/Chicago_seasonal_snow Snowiest winters ever... 1978 & 1979 with 82.3" & 89.7" 2014 = 82.0" Looks like Buffalo is winning this year @ 100" 1/50. http://goldensnowglobe.com/all-snowiest-us-cities/ Chicago in at 17/50. Green Bay @ 7/50.

I always debate it. When putting the logos side by side. Should Bisons be head butting or should they charge out? The Sabres/Bills logo goes in opposite directions. Bills charge right, Sabres left. I prefer them charging out! Sabres first, Bills to right.

That's the Liberal stereotypes Chicago gets. Very much MAGA country all around here. There is no buffer zone like on the Coasts.

For $3million? Not going to get much! LoL... You know how far $3million goes these days?

Same here... I figured it would be total reversal of general population. The official number is around 18% of the general population. I cited it somewhere in this thread. 7% is the amount of manual transmissions sold. I had #s backwards. Anyway... There are still two people who screwed up their votes. Total yes & no votes should equal yes or no in the next two age related questions. Just saying.

Poser.

Because the is sorta some common ground on this kind of BS.

9 passengers baby! LoL... Figure the Brady Bunch "took a trip to the Grand Canyon" in one those bad boys! LMAO... Of course I jest. But rolling death if it ever left the road... Let alone if middle front passenger accidentally hit the accelerator and caused mass confusion... But I suppose modern full size pick-ups have folding front bench... Like when @BringBackFergy brings his boyfriends along riding in his full size Manly Toyota Tundra. They draw straws to sit in middle no doubt. Not that there is anything wrong with that! LoL... ^^^ Sorry... I just had to add that edit ^^^ Anyway... Average cars are heavier now. More stocky and wider axle spread... But built compact... Not floating land yachts. Think how small the old Bugs were. Early Civics. 13" wheels... Vehicles on road today are generally bigger, heavier... But bigger means higher, wider axle... But compact body. Oh... I learned on the '77 Caprice... But took road test in '83 Dodge POS Gran Turismo. I gamed the test... Just to be safe... In small compact.

Because: 1. People are absurd. 2. [NOT a conspiracy nut]...But if someone, entity really wanted to foul things up... Just create the absurd and have it drop on someone, something. I mean... Everything is very asymmetrical now... Who knows WTF to believe anymore. Create a clustereff... Anarchy. I lean #1... But #2 is possible.

LoL... No. But, I think the Caprice was MotorTrend car of the Year or was that award 1978?? I know, I know... But this almost exact: No different than your run of the mill family truckster SUV now??? Not sure if the thing had posi rear end... But it was after the ice storm in 1976 and he still got stuck under the viaduct on Union and Broadway during Blizzard and had to stay almost a week at Fork's... He claims he would have made it home... But a lady stopped under viaduct and blocked his out! LMAO... But a limited slip rear diff would have helped. He did run snows.

How much resources, $$$ wasted on this Shi...Show? Bill them the hours. /smh

God knows what else is on that phone! Is he living a deviant life? Check out 8/10 Americans phones... Probably an utter mess. /smh...

Considering... My father in 1977 bought his first brand new ordered vehicle, fully loaded for: Just under $6,000.00. A 1977 Caprice Classic Wagon. Order from the factory with the Olds 350 in it. Again... Every option available. That's... 1/10. Say a car like similar today, $45k? $50k. 1/10 is $450,000. Sure... Mercedes were going $24k Used back in 1979...LoL... 6 year old Caddy... $6,000... If the movie is accurate, which it kinda is... LMAO How much does a stockcar go today?

Exactly. As I just stated. Why are guys like @bbb having such a hard time. Sure things aren't out in open... The racism is underground, incideous. Funny anecdote: Literally... My supervisor at work (I am Fed) had Trump's picture in hand on Inauguration Day and the second Trump's hand went on Bible, he ordered Obama's picture to be taken down. Now I have been around Federal offices for 30 years. Replaced 4 Presidents on the wall... I have never seen that much venom towards a President. Of course as Fed workers, we are not the fastest... But why the change now with picture? LMAO... Why? Because there was a Black Man on the wall above the chain of of command. In past, it took some time to get the photos out. This time, the transition team had it all done and ready... LoL... I mean... It's not a big deal... But really? Tell us how you really feel? The head Birther is now POTUS. Yes... When one is purposely evicerating a legacy... Tell us how you really feel?

The Birther Movement. Obstruct and just say: "No." Basically undoing by Executive Order things he did... Okay, even if that was by Executive Order also. Anything else?

No. I figured you'd misread what I wrote. It's easy to do. ? Oh, there is something, it's just not easily exposed the way you want it to be. The right paralyzed his presidency and impeded a more broad racial agenda. What was accomplished, then was promptly undone after 2016.

It's more subtle than that. I know you want straight up answers. You're not going to get those answers... Because they don't exist out in the open. It really isnt that easy to put your finger on in a de facto standard environment. Of course there was obstructionism, the victory of "no" in Congress... And the resetting the clock after 2016. From the BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38536668 An outsider's (the BBC) perspective @ the start (when this article was written) of the Trump years. "...His formative years were spent in Hawaii, America's most racially integrated state, and the whites he encountered, namely his mother and grandparents, were doting and loving. Obama was not the victim of discrimination in the same way as a black kid growing up in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, or even New York or Illinois. As a result, he may have underestimated the forces that would seek to paralyse his presidency and to impede racial advance more broadly..." "...For as we enter the final days of the Obama presidency, the more accurate descriptor of race relations is a fault-line - the most angry fault-line in US politics and American life, and one that continues to rumble away, threatening small explosions at any time. From Obama we expected seismic change of a more positive kind. And although it was a presidency that began atop a mountain, it ended in something of a valley..."

They were Hollywood idiots which tend to be overwhelmingly liberal idiots (sorry @Deranged Rhino you don't keep good company and no offense). My point is real Deplorables would have been less creative with the stupidity (noose, liquid in -20° weather) and better on the logistics: "Ah, wait till this gets warmer."

Socialist Fascists still make the trains run on time! Socialist Communists... Well let's just say they get rounded up by the biggest bully and taken to a secluded forest. So much for that power lunch cafe dream session.

Left is just a little more passionate. Cares. Cares about what, I don't know. But... They organize a little better than say your run of the mill standard whiney azz Snowflake TeaBagger. Yet, when push comes to shove, that organizing is all over the place with too many heads in the clouds. Chaos. Classic cafe society till the barrel of the tank comes smashing through window and command is given to all get in line... That's where the conservatives excel! Case in point... Just look at this wonderful story... Holy Moly... Is this the best they can do? Noose? Shout: "This is MAGA country!" and throw bleach during a Polar Vortex Event. A+ for creativity F for believability & logistics.

Exactly. As in 2008+ with race relations. The right went further right in response to Obama, just like left did in response to Trump & PCness. Funny how those things happen.

And yet... In last 3 years we became hyper-PC. I thought Political Correctness was suppose to be less. Ooops. Go figure, it's gotten worse.

Because when the jailhouse door shuts... It slams! ???? Johnny! Tell this lovely contestant Jussie what they just won! A 3 year all inclusive stay in "The Slammer."

Hill assist. I think VW or Subaru came up with it in the 70s or 80s. On the MINI/BMW... It gives you about 2 seconds to get from brake to accelerator before rolling. Back in late 1990s...We were coming back from the mountains in New Hampshire to Boston... I was driving my sister inlaw's 1990's Toyota Camry... Stick. We get to a red light that is way on top of hill and my SiL is like: "Oh, I just wait at bottom of hill for the light, this is a real scary light!!!" I said: "That's insane! That's like 200' feet away... Don't you piss off the drivers behind you?... We will wait at top of hill at light where you are supposed to!" A flatlander in New England teaching them how to drive manual... Go figure! On the column or floor? My father had a 1970s Chevy truck... Shifter was on column. MINI (BMW) is still offering classic manual.
