There is a Difference.

Armed Forces Day:
For those currently in the uniform.

Veteran's Day:
For those who used to wear the uniform.

Memorial Day:
For those who never made it out of the uniform.

Please offer a moment of silence today in remembrance those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the USA.

It seems that in NYC, they have a joint task force, NYSP, County Sheriff, and NYPD, at least a while back, cracking down on ghost cars.

No license plates, 5% tints, no registration, no insurance, toll and parking evaders, etc.

The new electric Chinese car seems interesting and might become a winner.
Or not, and end up like the 1980s Yugo from Yugoslavia. I was doing a Google search on the Yugo and came upon some interesting online comments on
the former Yugo car that I posted below:

This is the official POI Factory Joke thread.

Please read all the forum rules before posting, and keep in mind...

"POI Factory is not a forum for politically charged debate.
Let's avoid topics that already have a long list of Democrat or Republican talking points or that name specific politicians."

Perhaps you can post on a new book you're reading, a new hobby you're taking up or about random finds as you finally get around to cleaning out the..., or your most recent adventure?

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

Please keep comments polite.

Because of our experience of driving 3 weeks with a donut (Costco took for the 2nd time, 3 weeks to replace a tire under road hazard--leading me to believe just like car repair, warranty repair is a backseat to cash money repairs), I decided to build a full sized spare to have at home, not to carry on the vehicle, in case this happens in the future again.

I just logged in using another browser and was alerted this site does not offer HTTPS. I never caught it in the past but wondering why there is no port 443 option or certificate available. I'm not worried but it sparked my interest.

Thanks.
