Not sure if anyone has posted but the scenes from the Queretaro-Atlas soccer match in Mexico are horrific. People being stripped naked and beaten. They’re saying 17 deaths as of now. The videos are all over Twitter.

I'm going to post a summary thread that I watched earlier. But before you click it, I'm telling you upfront, don't have kids around. It's not for the weak stomach. I've seen a lot of messed up stuff on Live Leaks and this is up there with the most disgusting acts of violence that I've seen. F all of those dudes.

Just watched some of those videos. Some of those people acted like animals. I'm not a huge soccer fan but this home team should be banned for at least a year, if not disbanded all together. And just think, the World Cup will be there in 2026. FIFA should put up the 2026 games for auction so the games can be held elsewhere.

These gas prices are getting ridiculous!

Where do you see the average price topping off at? 2008 it hit $5.08 nationally, which was the highest ever. At our current rate of increase we might see $5 within 2 weeks

I had mentioned in here back in December that I put an order in for a Ford Bronco. I'm now debating backing out of that and going with maybe the Kia EV6. :lol:

If I knew more about EV's I'd probably go that route. I'd need to know that it could confidently pull and maneuver my trailer. I think the only EV that would fit my need is the F150, if it's even out fully

We went test drive one last weekend for the wife, but she didn't like em.

Worst time ever for a 500 mile drive today to our Spring Break vacation pair, but ah well.

They don't look bad on the internet or in that commercial, but I have a feeling that if I saw it in person I wouldn't much care for it.

I liked to way more than I thought I would.

My wife is a short and doesn't like vehicles where the hood doesn't slow down and is just too high for her. So that's why she didn't care for it.

They only had 1 on the lot to test drive. It was a first edition that cost $93k. It was pretty sweet.

$93k? Are we talking about the EV or the Bronco? I thought we were talking about the EV :lol:

The dealer markups on the Broncos are absolutely ridiculous. I just received an update from Ford and have a VIN now for my order. It'll go in to production by the end of the month. If I was to buy what I've ordered off the lot (instead of the custom order) it would be at least 15k over MSRP.

Bronco, but apparently it was like a collectors edition one.

We were never going to buy that one, it was just the only one on the entire lot we could test drive to get a feel for it.

Looks like the punishment has been handed out.

Team will have no fans at home games for 1 year. They have some specific fan group called "Barras" that is banned for 3 years. Owners have to sell the team. Any individuals specifically cited get a lifetime ban.

Maybe not so weird because Mexico but weird that no official deaths have been reported.
