    Mitsubishi in talks to buy Bombardier's Air division

    To those following Mitsubishi news generally...

    Apparently Mitsubishi is in talks to buy Bombardier's air division. For those not in the know, the Canadian company Bombardier built the first Snowmobiles. (Ski-doo's)

    Bombardier has been propped up by my tax dollars more than once, so it's great if Mitsubishi buys them and I don't have to subsidize private industry any more.

    Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the parent company of Mitsubishi Motors. Kind of like how Fuji is the parent company of Subaru cars.

    Still for Mitsubishi and their storied aircraft history, to be building planes with Canada's big aircraft company, that is interesting.

    If you haven't ever looked it up, you should see Mitsubishi's stealth fighter plane they're developing, the X2 Shin Shin. Small and nimble and stealth. Better than the F35 imo

    Ducar mowers have twice the features, half the cost...

    Love mine. $420, the equivalent Honda was $950. Moms Homda has 4 point height adjustment. Its 2019, it should be one lever.

    I have 1 lawnmower a non adjustable 165 cc I believe Briggs red push no power assist.

    Somehow I own a lot of yard so the house years ago came with a rider with carburetor issues, my friend from work took the mower free of charge, and yes it was the carburetor cleaner instant fix apparently

    I gave up repair on the rider myself that came with the house and spent the $169.99 Canadian on sale way marked down on a brand-new MTD brand mower simple thing. 6 years on MTD keeps on going, drinks more gas now though. Thick grass and lots of it with the rain we have had.
