Alfa Romeo Aims For 300,000 Sales By 2016

I've been listening to a lot of Led Zeppelin after seeing the Becoming Led Zeppelin documentary in IMAX on Super Bowl Sunday.    This is still my favorite LZ song..so heavy.     That is distinctive... the comment about the gas station reminds me of hearing Gloria Gaynor's 'I Will Survive' at a gas station in darkest rural New Mexico off of I-40 at about 3am when crossing the desert void in 2017... 

It was a sad remnant of a bygone era.   I'm amazed the Queen Mary is still afloat..stayed there several times in the last decade, took the tour...so much rust and decay. 

Jeep's forward direction in general seems muddled at this point...horrible quality and inflated prices have hurt them with many models.   The Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer hasn't done well against GM's big SUVs.  The WL Grand Cherokee is so bland (nice interior though).  The Wrangler remains a popular but pricey novelty.   And they don't have a replacement yet for the Cherokee..the last Cherokee was too close to the Compass in size..

II was sad to see this news, but it was to be expected.  The S.S. United States will not be having a traditional retirement home, as most beloved and historical ocean liners do. Instead, she will be moving to the Florida Panhandle, where they will sink her to create the world's largest underwater artificial reef.  There will be a visitor center and museum in Destin, from which she will be offshore. For being 990 feet long, she doesn't weigh as much as that length would suggest.  She has a very low profile, which accentuates her oversized and rounded funnels.  This might have also helped her capacity for speed.  Converted into miles per hour, the S.S. United States once sped across the Atlantic at about 41 mph to make the crossing in 3 days, 10 hours, and 40 minutes.  That is insanely fast, so, the ship is the very last to earn the Blue Riband, with no other ocean liner winning it since. I guess it's good that it isn't being scrapped.  However, this artificial reef solution is what penciled out.  She was the greatest of American ocean liners and had a designation as a historical place ... plus, I can't go visit a sunken ship. So, a sad Philadelphia turned out on the banks of the Delaware River to see the ship sail out after being moored there for about 30 years.
