  1. The web site Moneywise.com just published their list of things Millennials hate. Top of the list was the following: Chevrolet Volt Fiat iPods https://moneywise.com/a/ch-b/brands-you-love-that-may-disappear-forever_SAFE-ByeBrandsJun04-LGSB-DSK?t=Millennials Don’t Like These Brands Anymore And They’re Struggling&utm_campaign=4876020&utm_source=taboola&utm_medium=Desktop&utm_term=msn-anaheim-us&utm_content=2904316876&taboola_click_id=GiDd0-txHhCrrx1n_h0IVyb6LzUZjWijLUTdHhrHcdbSkyC_uEo&hero=2020060415185904001368186443
  2. We'll it would be awesome if they used high strength steel with balsawood like in the Corvette and carbon fiber in a proper full size luxury car. You would have lite weight with generous space and with an EV Power Train, torque and speed to move it quickly. 1995 Fleetwood Brougham - Had a 5.7L 260 hp V8, got 17 city / 25 highway. length 225", weight of 5691 lbs. I bet we could with a proper modern lite weight frame drop 2000 lbs.
  3. @oldshurst442 Who cares about Quebec when there are so many other awesome places to talk about like Seattle and the idiot protestors and city officials. Course the City and Officials might be on par with those in Quebec. I will say that the Buicks flow off the ships from China here in Seattle, onto train cars and get dispersed across this country. ? Wonder if that means I will see the first imported Buick EV here? ?
  4. Drinking Lobohills rose wine. Awesome end to a hot Saturday. https://www.lobohills.com/ Watching Hobbs and Shaw, great movie, love how many Toyota's they blow up! ?
  5. Watching Hobbs and Shaw after a long work day. Love the EV Triump motorcycle. They Rock! https://www.triumphmotorcycles.com/public-content/project-triumph-te-1
  6. Do not remember when exactly, but last year when I renewed my drivers license and I requested an Enhanced, it was part of the stuff they reviewed about changed in state law that they went over with me. Thought it was interesting, but I always hear the WSP talk about safe foot wear when Driving does not mean you wear flip flops. Seattle will ticket you if you have them on when on a Motorcycle or Bike as they remind everyone that they are illegal when riding. Last 2 years been allot of talk about safe footwear, head gear, etc.
  7. While I could not get into the back of a CT5, I could with the chair all the way back and all the way down on the floor get into the front. My head did touch the roof, but I could get in and there was plenty of leg room.
  8. The only auto's I have seen in the last 5 days that are not my own are the Amazon Prime Delivery vans. So much Grey with a little bit of blue.
  9. Honestly Robert, they will change your life. I was shocked at how comfy they are and how better my legs and back felt when I started wearing them in the house. During winter time, feet are never cold wearing them. Better posture, over all better Health I believe.
  10. I have inserts in all my shoes and was prescribed orthopedic flip flops to wear in the house so that I have something solid on my arch's at all times. A bit pricy, but when done via insurance, these are amazing to wear around the house and even outside. I have two pairs, one for outside wear and one for inside wear. If you have ever had Plantar Fasciitis, these are the sandals for you. Even if you have never had foot issues, these are worth the money. Molded to support your feet. https://www.hammacher.com/product/plantar-fasciitis-orthotic-sandal?source=PRODSEM&cm_ven=HS&cm_cat=ProductSEM&cm_pla=BingPLA&cm_ite=&zmam=zmas=1&zmac=28&zmap=76997&msclkid=2d25e9df105e189a8641b6e771eaa037&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=(ROI) High Margin - Shopping&utm_term=4580153131929575&utm_content=Plantar Fasciitis
  11. I will say if Hyundai delivers on their statements about concept auto's the fuel the passion of auto ownership, they will have homeruns that drive profits. I doubt I could fit in this, but I think those that want a sexy looking car would buy a Ioniq Prohecy 4 door sport sedan. It will also be interesting to see where Hyundai under the Ioniq brand takes their 45 concept CUV EV.
  12. Dogs are good for getting that salt we leave behind. Doggy Massage with the tongue. Here in Washington, you cannot wear flip flops while driving a car, motorcycle or bike. Must have secure footwear.
  13. Excited to see that Super Sonic flight is coming back with very modern motors that are no more noisy than todays commercial engines on a DreamLiner. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/boom-is-ready-to-roll-out-its-first-supersonic-jet/vi-BB1808Yg?ocid=msedgntp All carbon fiber, these new plans are way more cool than what has been done in the past. So why am I talking about Super Sonic plans in a auto forum? Simple, this makes me wonder how soon someone will build a new modern supersonic car to go after and beat the world record held by this amazing baby!
  14. Only problem I see with the no socks on sandals or shoes is the sweat from the feet make a very unpleasant smell. For me, the wife has stopped the crazy sock look by getting me booties. I have white, black and grey, so this way it tends to match my flip flops, sandals or shoes.
  15. No need to worry in the PNW, we are all a little weird and different. This is a very common style up here. There is no right or wrong, wear what is comfortable and you like.
  16. The first reviews of the Polestar 2 are out and while the reviewer says it clearly is aimed at Tesla, it still falls short. To me it is far nicer looking on the outside than a Tesla, the interior to me is better than the Tesla for a base version. Interior is true Scandinavian sparse, but nice. In black, I would have to say that many will just say it is another average car as it truly fits in and does not say EV till ya drive away in a very quiet car. You can read the guys full review at the link at the bottom. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1129250_first-drive-review-polestar-2-aims-at-tesla-and-comes-up-just-short
  17. New Bonneville speed record set by an EV. 218.2 MPH https://jalopnik.com/the-ev-west-electraliner-won-a-bonneville-electric-spee-1844719544
  18. @ocnblu You will like this, a story on how after 250,000 miles the Diesel Minivan sold in Europe still rocks. $600, 250,000 mile, diesel, manual, Chrysler Voyager minivan https://jalopnik.com/a03318c5-a506-45b6-850f-b7039234dffe https://jalopnik.com/the-quirks-that-make-my-european-250-000-mile-diesel-ma-1844719494
  19. Polestar the EV division of Volvo paid for this study and clearly state the testing methodology. Tesla 3 came in last according to this study. Funny read as it is so lop sided even with Audi being the best, most efficient depending on how one reads the data. https://jalopnik.com/tesla-model-3-ranked-last-for-highway-range-efficiency-1844728090
  20. The Drive posted a filing for trademark by GM on Hummer. Seems we might not have Hummer by GMC as everyone thought. The end result could just be Hummer H EV. Interesting times we live in for sure. https://www.thedrive.com/tech/35657/this-gm-trademark-might-preview-the-new-hummer-h-ev-logo
