    That is what I was going to say. I like the way they use a real transmission. Flying through trails tapping paddle shifters on the steering wheel just seems way more fun than a CVT. Also I just feel like CVTs have too many issues.

    This 100%. F China. I wish the Fed Govt would come out and mandate that essential items, especially for the medical community have to be made domestically. Have we forgotten how much of a disaster it was getting basic supplies when China was shut down? We need to work towards removing all our manufacturing from China and either bringing it home or moving it to other friendly countries. China is not our friend, if we don't want to rely on them to make bullets for our military then why would we rely on them to make anything else essential???

    Do you think this next administration is going to be anti-China? They are all willing to look the other way when big business has new-markets to tap into and make MASSIVE fortunes. Big business has money and lobby power. Money and lobbyists in politics sways the decisions.

    Hell, nobody has even been talking about the origin of this virus and if there could be anything done to slow the worldwide transmissions down for the next one.

    I don't think the incoming administration has any desire to be tough on China or any other adversaries of ours. POTUS is the really the only one to call China out for creating this but even he didn't really do anything about it that I am aware of. China knows Biden is in their camp, as soon as he won China started putting restrictions on trade with Australia because they were pressing them for answers about the virus. Biden won, China immediately steps up their bullying.

    I have been personally working on moving a few Chinese suppliers back to American suppliers due to the Trump steel tariffs.

    It’s been hard but satisfying, BUT my fear is once Biden is in office, day 1 he will remove tariffs and the move back to the US will be off.

    I'm not sure which is worse... 78 year old guy with dementia that won't make 2 terms OR the 3 year old child pouting and throwing a temper tantrum in the white house currently.....

    it's a REAL sad state that of millions and millions of people in this country, these are the best 2 to represent us.....

    My theory is it’s not the two candidates, it’s the media and social media portrayals of both of them.

    The media and socials have ruined this country.

    There is something to bed said for that. Just watch that Netflix documentary about social media.
