R.I.P. Chadwick Boseman, you will be missed and were a gentle giant in our Multi-Cultural World. I will miss you not being in Black Panther II. I wonder ? how they will reboot it, who will play it or will BP II have his sister from BP1 take over as BP?

Hot August (2020) days or nights of car spotting
G. David Felt replied to trinacriabob's topic in The Lounge
Have my left hand carpal tunnel surgery this coming Thursday, so had to go to the Hospital today for a Covid-19 test. On the way there, I passed a lovely 2 door pontiac convertible in the Chevrolet sunburst orange paint. Looked like this, even the chrome. Wished I had been able to snap a pic, it was lovely. Senior driving and a 40's something man, maybe his son in the passenger seat. Was so cool to see. The color was like on this 1965 Riviera Which is a lovely car. On the way home, passed a Ford FOOSE pickup truck. Looked just like this 2008 Foose. Very clean, clearly garage kept, put down the window and you could hear a lite growl. Was nice to see. -

I have no Idea, but clearly it did not work out for the guy. Have to say, this one is actually not bad looking for the Chevy Front end that in Chrome is so Hideous. Storm Trooper Anyone?

Crazy that the cause was quick disconnect brake lines that melted due to improper placement. Guy had money, built a beast but did not think about the heat of 1,100 HP creates.

Crazy car and Video.

Seems the hot selling SUV's from Hyundai and Kia are smelling in heat 80 degrees and above. The Auto company is looking into it, but does not have a solution yet. https://jalopnik.com/the-hyundai-palisade-literally-stinks-owners-1844881275

Was Walla Walla Sweet Onion Harvest day. Grew and harvested all 76 onions. They are laid out to cure and then will enjoy them over the next 3 months. Sweet enough to eat like an Apple. Seems Ford is finding plenty of heat lately as a Law firm files a class action lawsuite over the 2017-2019 Fuel economy of the F-150 and Ranger. Seems those Turbo's DO NOT give you V6 fuel economy with V8 power unless you guzzle gas like a V8. Ford is also under Federal criminal investigation for emission and stated fuel economy standards for their auto fleet. https://fordauthority.com/2019/07/ford-class-action-lawsuit-filed-over-f-150-and-ranger/#:~:text=Ford Class Action Lawsuit Filed Over F-150 And,vehicles in the 2017 to 2019 model years.

Excellent read on how focused training allows Sales people on auto lots to sell 10 times more EV's. The focus of a sales person is to direct a potential buyer to an auto they understand and can sell quickly to get their commission and move onto the next sell. A study was done starting in 2017 to figure out how to better sell EV's. There are now kiosks that help explain the biggest question of buyers, EV charging and how the various different chargers work. Charge away kiosk helps potential buyers in more than just where chargers are located, by also answering basic questions to help educate the public about EVs. https://chargedevs.com/newswire/startup-chargeway-launches-kiosks-to-showcase-ev-charging-options/ This secret sauce allows people to plan and feel better about road trips, time to recharge an EV, etc. Breaking down the type of chargers and where they are greatly helps people decide. Green for Nissan Leaf, Red for Tesla and Blue for those that follow the CCS standard. This was especially helpful in that this software company and Charging infrastructure supplier realized the challenge for dealerships where turn over of 50% a year in sales is very common. The kiosk helps the sales folks get up to speed on selling EV's very fast. This became true as the company grew and started to put the Kiosks in dealerships that actually had inventory of EV's. Sales increased from 2 to 10 times greater turn over. Story for reading is here, the full report will be published in September. https://chargedevs.com/features/shoppers-buy-more-evs-if-they-understand-charging-and-now-theres-proof-exclusive-first-look/ Deliveries are starting for the VW ID.3 as the first 700 just got off loaded in Norway where they will launch the sales of VW ID.3 in Europe in what is currently one of the largest EV markets around. -

Interesting review, plenty positive but also plenty Negative about the Mercedes-Benz GLB. For a green car report, they clearly liked the Electric MB that was sold on the west coast and feel the GLB should have been pure electric from the start. With that said they did give a decent review on the auto and how it handled form City driving to a 900 mile trip. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1129420_2020-mercedes-benz-glb250-drive-review-price-specs-photos-info -
ALERT: GM moved their Corvette Engineering Team to the EV Team. This could signal the shift for a performance focused Electric Corvette. There is a much smaller team left on the ICE Corvette, but it seems that the future will focus on Electric. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1129406_chevy-corvette-engineers-moved-to-ev-team-at-gm

Better be one hell of an ExPeRiEnCe for that kind of Coin and Weak ass engine.

With Torque being so weak, how is the off the line pull? How is high speed passing in this car? Equal to the 2013, better or worse since your last review?

vw id4 $100 Deposit for VW ID.4 EV and Leaked images out of China

Agree that there does seem to be allot of plastic. I wonder how long before they become painted or if that is an option. I also think to get auto's to weigh less, that high strength plastic will become a much larger use in the auto's.
