Wood splitting for We3dnesday.

I hope the production of swasticars and the incel camino ends permanently.   The stupid cycle runs deep. I can't say that I didn't see this coming, i want to leave the United States of America forever. In the end it won't, as AI and Video games will interest the young more than actual racing.

Cool that Hyundai came in 1st and 2nd place at Daytona, but I wonder how long the sport will survive when I see so few people in the stands. Hyundai Wins at Daytona for the First Time in IMSA TCR History - Hyundai Newsroom

Its tastefully done visually on the outside.  My fear was all for nothing as I was envisioning aggressive spoilers and aero body kits.  Although the Lyriq V does have different  body work making it look like its slightly lower to the ground than the standard Lyriq and that extra body work is more sporty in nature, its not aggressive at all.  And the extra body work is very minimal. In fact, nobody would notice the design cues as a sport oriented model let alone a V model.  The V Lyriq just looks like a refreshed model for the new year.  And that is how I prefer the Lyriq V to be styled.   In my neighborhood, Chevrolet Equinox EVs and Lyriqs are ubiquitous.   The Blazer EV slightly less so.  Its too expensive.  The Equinox EV hits the spot at the cheaper end of the Ultium platfrom spectrum while the Lyriq hits the spot and the higher priced spectrum of this platform.   I saw up close and personal at the Montreal auto show, the Optiq, and the Optiq renders the Blazer EV uselessly obsolete. The Optiq has the same shape and silhouette as the Blazer, the interior is more luxurious as its a Cadillac all the while being slightly more expensive than the Blazer rendering the Blazer unneccesary.  I predict the Optiq will also be a sales success going forward while the Blazer not so much.
