Seems a mega recall is here for GM. Stop sale on all C8 Corvettes plus more. https://www.thedrive.com/news/36751/gm-orders-stop-sale-on-c8-corvette-over-brake-by-wire-sensor-issue-report The recall will also apply to the Chevy Trailblazer, Buick Encore, as well as Cadillac's CT4, CT5 and XT4. Ford Raptor Bronco with 37" tires caught off-road testing. https://www.thedrive.com/news/36752/the-wild-ford-bronco-raptor-prototype-is-testing-with-37-inch-tires

2017 car with CarPlay, heated / cooled seats, adaptive cruise, huge sunroof, AWD Being carplay was not on everything in 2017 that gives us the following list of options to guess from: Audi A3, A4, A4 allroad, A5 BMW 2, 3, 4, 5,6 & 7 series sedans Buick LaCrosse and Regal Cadillac CTS & CT6 Chevrolet Impala, Malibu Chrysler 300 Dodge charger Ford Fusion & Taurus Genesis G80 Honda Accord Hyundai Sonata, Elantra, Ioniq Kia Cadenza Lincoln Continental Mercedes-Benz B, CLA, CLS, E Nissan Maxima Subaru Impreza Volkswagen Jetta, Passat Volvo S90 With AWD, this reduced the list to Audi A3, A4, A4 allroad, A5 BMW 2, 3, 4, 5,6 & 7 series sedans Buick Regal Cadillac CT6 Chrysler 300 Dodge charger Ford Fusion Mercedes-Benz CLA & E Subaru Impreza Volvo S90 Above features with Adaptive cruise control Audi A3, A4, A4 Allroad, A5 BMW 2, 3, 4, 5,6 & 7 series sedans Buick Regal Cadillac CT6 Ford Fusion Mercedes-Benz CLA & E Volvo S90 Interesting that the search engines do not have the cooled seats option listed or over all size of sunroof. Huge sunroof I think would reduce the list as follows: Audi A4 Allroad, A5 Cadillac CT6 - This is out as Drew has stated it can not handle his driveway. Ford Fusion Volvo S90 ???? Volvo S90?

Right Answer!

That is so Hideous! What the hell are the stylist thinking? Puff Puff Pass way too much if you ask me.

Induction

A Buick?

Wow, I do not see those details. So then what do you suspect it is?

Speedy Gonzales

WOW, crazy as I have to agree based on the picture that the dark interior does not say uber luxury. Questions: Is the crystal shifter like the one in Cadillac? Looks a bit like it. How is the comfort of the Drivers seat? Is the massage feature distracting while driving? Quality of the camera system? Interior size for large people, any draw backs observed? Does the bottom front section of the drivers seat pull out for longer legs like other autos has on some seats?

Poor Car, not fair, but then ICE does Burn well. Good eye, amazing that someone would burn a car, but then like now crazy times for sure.

Daffy

Amazing that some people can abuse an auto. Why have such a nice auto if you could not care less about taking care of it. Crazy.

The GM design division I think is trying to get customer feedback on a wide range of concept drawings. What are your thoughts? Have to say this is Sexy. One for those that loved the 70's Caprice.

Seems Canoo EV company out of LA California has gone into testing mode of their Skateboard concept which will have 4 auto body options on their lease only plan.

The Auto History does show some lovely options that I just do not get why GM cannot realize people would like options. Cadillac has done it recently in the Escalade. Even the XT5 did at the start have options and yet now back to black / grey it would seem for the most part. Had it in the past such as this 1976 Eldorado. CTS sedan of the past with their Red n Black interior with Carbon accents. Even the Buick Lacrosse was considered to have an outstanding interior of contrast for 2017. Buick Avista Concept was outstanding. Why can GM not realize that Black, Grey, Blah interiors we do not want. If they can show it in a concept, give it to us in production. Remember the crushed Velet 1976 Buick interiors? While not a White interior fan, I will say that the Buick Riviera Concept from 2016 was very tasteful in the blue/white with blue lighting accent.

I will say that right now the wife and I Love the lookes inside and out of the Rivian R1T and R1S. We are thinking of buying one of each, but the Hummer by GMC could also do that since there will be both the Truck and SUV for sale. I could enjoy having two auto's that give me 2,000 HP of Fun and Home charging as our next auto's if they are the Hummer package or 1,600 HP of fun if Rivian EVs.

Interesting read, Bill Gates says with a vaccine out in early 2021, summer of 2021 will return to a somewhat normal life but not totally as he says it will take till summer 2022 for the world to get inoculated and even then anti-vaccine folks will still have to deal with the virus. https://www.theladders.com/career-advice/bill-gates-has-a-predicted-date-for-the-end-of-the-pandemic?ltm=KB9FURKQLp5VtwA2ajtt%2BTsnx4WZ/UepWMorvSuxD1A%3D&subscriber_type=member&utm_term=dnl-9-23-20&utm_campaign=daily-newsletter&utm_source=member&utm_content=dnl-9-23-20&utm_medium=email

I have seen it on the Escalade and V edition of the cars at Cadillac.

That makes no freakin sense. I would for sure shop around. I pay only a couple hundred dollars for the insurance on my 1994 GMC Suburban SLE that has been parked all year and I honestly doubt it will get driven this year due to the pandemic. Just not going anywhere. I do have to laugh at the pandemic refund checks the insurance companies are sending out to their policy holders. Ameriprise sent me an $88.00 check for the year to help me out. Wow. ?

Real Estate

I so can relate as what the wife wants and what is available are two different things. Best of luck finding that warm mocha brown interior in the auto he wants.

Totally expect it to as we are scheduled to get 7 feet of snow in the mountains by Saturday. https://snowbrains.com/mount-baker-7-feet-fresh-snow/ Early Ski season I hope! Theaters here are all closed and not expected to open till after the new year. I am hoping they will do premium streaming as a James Bond Fan, I am excited to see Daniel Craig's final movie. I do wonder about Tom Hardy as his replacement. Seems we keep getting shorter and shorter James Bond's. Also, while the fan in me loves all the songs, I do think that some of the older songs are way over rated compared to some of the newer songs. Maybe a boomer rated them.

Considering that Charging stations and outlets are far cheaper to install than gas stations and pumps, I think with committed dollars, we will see the infrastructure expand greatly in the near future.
