As a person who normally does not spend much time on cars, I honestly do not remember the 22 out-going model. So, looking up to see what @Drew Dowdell is saying about the front end. Still blah to me, but Drew must be talking about the front-end square thing on the lower front grill of the touring model? 2022 Honda Accord 2022 Honda Accord Touring 2023 Honda Accord

I honestly do not know who they are, but the man reminds me of a modern Mafia man and the woman of a NJ Woman that is always saying Look at me, Look at me. Hard pass on both. Interesting observation is her waist is at the middle of his belly, and yet both there boobs are on the same level. Weird or what.

Cool News, seems the first prototype Solid State batteries for EVs have been delivered to BMW and VW. Solid Power and BMW Deepen Joint Development Partnership | Solid Power (solidpowerbattery.com) Newsroom | QuantumScape

This cracks me up, for all the badge snobs out there and folks that think Mercedes is the Best, this just says Trailor Park Trash. ?

Still not a fan of the name, I feel it is a cheap out of EVs and a way for RAM to say "See, told you there is no demand for EVs." if the truck fails to sell well enough.

No HOA, best part in many ways, but then you do get strange folks that like their cotton Candy Blue house color. Lol Another area that was hit here in Washington with freezing rain today. Down the hill and into the neighbors house. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cmkj9oNoQln/?igshid=OGQ2MjdiOTE= Another one of UPS trying to do delivery and pickups. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cmhzp9vJk3q/?igshid=OGQ2MjdiOTE=

This is too funny of a person walking around Seattle during the ice storm recording and even caught their own fall and slide sown a hill. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cmh_AHWIaJz/?igshid=OGQ2MjdiOTE=

Talk about crazy weather, we had flooding rains overnight and with King Tides, many hones and areas around the greater Seattle area are flooded. https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/heavy-rain-king-tides-flood-seattle-neighborhoods/ar-AA15I9rm?ocid=superappdhp

Here is the video of the idiot who jumps out of his car on the icy hills of Seattle. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CmiYpP3gWwW/?igshid=OGQ2MjdiOTE=

TikToks from Seattle's ice storm showing people crawling up icy streets on their hands and knees and cars crashing in slow-motion into each other (msn.com)

After 5 days Stevenspass/hwy2 has reopened at 8pm tonight. It took two passes over 80 miles of road to remove all the ice. This is the machine they used to remove the ice.

Go to YouTube and search for seattle ice storm 2022 to see some of the funniest recordings from a guy who jumps out of his Prius as it starts to slide back down a hill to a police officer who parks his car and then it starts to slide backwards causing a chain reaction.

Mountain passes here in Washington have been closed as we deal with wind and freezing rain. 6 inches of ice.

Yes, that is my driveway covered in about an inch of ice. US2 highway pass has been closed for most of last week, the weekend and the start of this week. They plan to open it tomorrow after using scrappers to break up the 6 inches of ice that covered the road. This year has been a crazy winter so far and it is just starting.

This is so perfect for today here in Washington State.

Crazy weather coast to coast. Washington after multiple snow storms is now covered in ice and no one going anywhere except idiots. Got up this morning to ice covered windows and yard. The fwd/rwd are crashing everywhere. My driveway @ 11am Sheet of ice.

I understand the Encore as there is the Encore GX just a smidge bigger. Always thought it was weird to compete with yourself.

@oldshurst442 @ccap41 Seems more cars are being killed off in 2023. What cars are being discontinued in 2023? Honda, Toyota and Chevrolet are all axing models (msn.com)

@surreal1272 Welcome to the 50 plus club! Hope you have a great Birthday.

Here I again disagree with you as in the PNW we have local bus routes and express bus routes and from what I can tell other states have it too. If Phoenix does not have express bus routes, then that is the failure of the politicians in that state. As I was writing this, I was curious and so did a search and am truly shocked at the Piss Poor Community transit bus system. Peoria to Phoenix - 6 ways to travel via bus, line 90 bus, and tram, and taxi (rome2rio.com) This shows the incompetence of the city, county and state politicians to not properly put in place local and express buses. I get your point. Yes, I could take the local bus and spend a 1 1/2 hrs. each way to get to work or I can drive to the local bus transfer station (5-minute drive from my house) and jump on an express bus that has me in Seattle in 25 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. Before the Pandemic, Seattle requires all companies to pay for employees who live outside of the city to have a bus pass. They also did give an option for companies to offer paid parking for those that do not live near buses. Dell Technology had 1,200 employees in the 7-story building at First and King St. We now only have 1 floor as 95% of the employees are now work from home. I rode the bus for 9 1/2 years into Seattle. So, I am familiar with mass transit. Taking a look, I now see the point you, @ccap41 and @Robert Hall have stated as I see in the areas of where you all live, a very poor community transit system. I get the point you all and including @oldshurst442 are saying about signage. Yes there are those basics that have been standardized the world over. Yet that also still does not take away from the point of people unable to read the signage causing problems on the roads by driving how they might be used to in their country rather than adjusting to or a better term would be to assimilate into the local society. The old phrase, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. I get it that as a tourist, it would be more of a challenge for a short period of time to change habits. Yet when one immigrates to a new country, why should they not assimilate into the local society, learn the language, understand how things are done there. I am just saying that immigrants that do assimilate into the local society/language succeed far more than those that fight change.

I appreciate you honest feedback. I agree to disagree. Maybe 25% of the road signs in Washington state are pictograph only. Everything else is numbers and English. When I am in other countries that are not English speaking, I take a taxi and do not drive. My choice I know. All Countries have various languages which I agree with you on, many require native language speaking to drive that I have seen. America does not do this and here in Washington state, taxpayers pay for interpreters and for that, I feel it is wrong. 88 different languages are allowed to have the driver's license test read to them and they can get a license. This to me is wrong. When I travel out of the U.S. I take that risk that if I am in an accident, I might not be able to communicate with the local Medical, Fire and or Police. Risks of international travel. Sadly, the politicians are the ones that have screwed us over, looking for votes in every language segment. I also disagree with you that it will cripple the economy. Plenty of public transportation to get around. This has been proven that people who want to work figure out a way to get to work. Many countries I have seen will allow foreign workers to come in and work, but if they cannot speak the local language, they do not drive. They have to learn and use the local public transport system. I have no problem with a multicultural society. Anyone that is wanting to come here to work and for a better life is great, but we do not need to support them by letting them have access to everything as if it were a right. I see nothing morally wrong with requiring people to pay their own way, learn the local language to earn the right to drive. I get that for those that are not staying in a major city with a major public transportation system, driving is the most efficient way to get around and for that reason we find plenty of websites to help you navigate driving outside of ones country. Example Driving in a Foreign Country: What You Need to Know - Road Affair I find many multi-cultural folks and I also put white people in this group that have lost the edge to drive in their senior years or are scared of driving, not comfortable, etc. and yet they got a license as family pushed them into it. Driving and testing should be on going all the time to ensure everyone is current on laws, skills and vision. Seeing the huge increase in drivers due to the growth of the Seattle area and so many more accidents where timid drivers ended up getting hurt due to a discomfort of driving, one has to wonder what it will take to stop the madness. Thank you for the discourse on this as it is a subject that needs to be discussed especially as we have more and more seniors on the road as well as transplants that have moved from one state to another, then especially if they are originally from out of the U.S. they bring in their parents to help with the family. All good, but what about the safety of those already here and on the road? Where do you draw the line about who should and shouldn't be driving?
