THOMAS just wondering what I miss regarding your health or hospital visit? Just tough keeping up with what is happening these days, not that I am over worked just becoming lazier hanging around....
More flipping snow here overnight...current total for the season locally is 49.4 inches of snow and the norm for the season is an inch and a half more. I don't know where they measure the snowfall but out here I am sure we have had another foot in addition to 49.4 inches so far. 26 degrees, just took two of the cats out so they could enjoy the sun but they scampered back in. Sissies. Girlfriend has one of the grandkids here today...six year old girl and she wants nothing to do with TV, prefers to spend all her time on the Ipad. Is that normal? I am clueless here....
Bill, kids with Ipads have everything they need. They can watch shows, movies, play games, chat with friends, email, just about anything you can imagine.
The reason they are assembled down there, is that Texas is the biggest state for sales of Suburbans, and full size Trucks, and SUV's.
Irv, you are right, of course. Suburbans, Yukons, Tahoes, Silverados, and Sierras are everwhere. Ford pickups sell more throughout the U.S., but in Texas, it seems the GM pickups and SUVs reign supreme. Even Cadillac Escalades are common.Lots of police departments are buying Yukons and Tahoes. I suppose the shipping costs and delivery for fleet sales in N. Texas are minimum.
It was Texas guys who really created the Escalade. Don Massey, at the time the biggest Cadillac dealer in the country, was selling Suburbans and Tahoes down there, and watching the buyers taking the new vehicle to a custom shop to make it into a " Texas Cadillac " . He spent 10 years trying to convince GM to make a Escalade. They finally did it, just to shut him up. They only made a short run, and promptly sold out. After that, they saw the $$$$$ !!!!
