And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Saw one of these here in Redding today. Drove ok in traffic, it seemed. Very expensive to buy.
Yes, there is one (only one) driving around our town. Nice looking but for the range, it is cheaper to get a gasoline truck. Ram seems to be the best value for money lately, just by counting how many are on the road here in SW Michigan, though Ford and GM are also out there. I do not own a truck, prefer diesel cars at 40+ MPG highway. ;-)

ReplyDeleteI've only seen one Rivian in GR area also, Terrapod, but many Ram trucks, one of which I own. It's my fourth Ram 1500. Real nice truck.
