  1. @Robert Hall My condolences on your loss Robert. Fur Kids are so lovable and give so much that we do not realize how much a part of the family they are till they are gone. Love em till they leave ya and then celebrate their life! What are your plans for the back deck expansion?
  2. Toyota, the Torque-less auto company!
  3. Cheetah As in the Chevrolet Cheetah.
  4. Senior run day of shopping and delivering to the senior parents. Out and about, saw a cherry silver 2nd gen CTS V coupe. So nice. Also saw a 1980's Z28 Camaro still running.
  5. Cadillac needs to first decide if they want to be a mass auto sales machine with everyone else or if they want to be a true luxury auto maker that people attain to want! I would rather they do the last one.
  6. I always loved these specific fighter planes:
  7. Always liked that specific BMW posted above. Is it the best compared to the Riviera, I think not, but then it is better than the garbage Audi and Mercedes put out then.
  8. Not everyone hears of everything. While I heard of the Alaskan earthquake, not everyone sees pictures or realizes that is from Alaska. Nothing is in the picture implies it is from Alaska. So a valid question asked. Clearly you like to follow fake news with a big helping of fake ASSumptions. Not everyone has seen this picture or seen things related to the 1964 Alaskan earthquake. Out of wondering, I asked my kids if they had ever heard of this specific earthquake. Nope they had not, not taught in school, not talked about and so you have made an Assumption with your statement. Stop being a lemming.
  9. Course custom Dreamliners such as the Saudi royal family has ordered are amazing. Wonder which BMW that is below. LOL
  10. Being in Boeing Country, I can say that the 757 was good for it's time, a senior that needs to stay retired. Very poor in efficiency and noise control. I agree with you that I hate Idiot45 since the 80's as he used Bankruptcy to steal others money and make himself rich. I have no respect as he has not built anything only stolen. Enough said about Idiot45. Boeing and Airbus make nice planes and their current planes are far superior excluding the software problems of the Max line than the plans of old. Once you are on a Dreamliner, you will wonder why all planes are not built that way with such big windows and so quiet. Boeing Dreamliners are what all planes really should be built to as a standard. First Class Business class Coach class
  11. CT sedans suck, Cadillac has FAILED MISERABLY in regards to their product lines. The cars are not Cadillac but European wanna be crap! XT series are piss poor badge jobs of Chevrolet CUVs. This is a pathetic reboot of the 80's/90's and honestly they clearly did not get any proper leadership yet to lead Cadillac in the right direction. They hire an Idiot European who attempts to remake Cadillac as a BMW/MB wanna be auto company and moves it's HQ to NY wasting millions if not Billions when they could have brought out a proper far better product line. 2020 Escalade while selling has even been fucked up by the new political ass kissing idiot they put in charge. Why do I say they fucked up the Escalade? Simple, while there is much to love about it and I have first hand experience driving a brand new 2020 Escalade for a week from my dealership as they serviced my auto this is what I came away with: As I posted in the April auto thread, I had this ESV to drive for the week. Pro's Lots of power, easy to get up over 100 before you know it. Interior layout is very nice, love the Mocha / Black accent interior Gobs of room to haul stuff. Used this to pick up supplies for all the senior parents and deliver them during this quarantine period. Style is spot on for this Escalade. Hidden external steps, gotta love having it pop out and then retrack in. Keeps a very nice clean side look. Presence, you could not have more. The king is here and others get out of the way as you drive it down the highway. Nav / radio system worked flawlessly and love the wireless charging phone pad HUD, this is a must have on any luxury auto, I love the HUD. Yes many other things to like about this Escalade And yet there are some glaring issues: Con's 2020 and no Android or Apple phone play, Yes we get it in the 2021 version but come on, this is 2020 and the tech has been out for years. Seats, while nice leather, they are flat, not supportive and on a 300 mile road trip I did in this one, it made my bum num. My 2006 has far superior seats. It is Cadillac and should be supportive, comfy seats that you do not get num or fatigued while riding in. Steering wheel, They totally went backwards and Cheap here. My 2006 has wood and the proper knobs on the back side that fits your fingers ensuring maximum grip while minimizing tension on road trips, this was a poorly stitched leather slick steering wheel. Something you would also find on a Chevrolet. Sad. Last and the biggest complaint of mine, NO MAGNA RIDE! Yup, This is a luxury brand that should be tight and yet absorb the road imperfections. I went off a curb to see how the new system was like and was shocked to have it plop down hard. Got out, looked underneath and confirmed when I returned it to the dealership, that the base Escalades DO NOT come with Magna Ride, it is an option. As such, this Escalade rides like a pickup truck when Empty. We are talking Cadillac and Cadillac DOES NOT have to cover what Buick and Chevrolet already sell nor GMC. These should be the maximum ultimate Luxury rides. Right now Cadillac is Failing us the customers with piss poor re-badges of Chevrolet products and if they do this with their EV line, they will truly fail. Cadillac should be building LUXURY auto's which will NOT be for EVERYONE. Take the CT current products and sell them at Chevrolet at a proper Chevrolet price and I bet they will move big time. Then using names, bring back full size luxury sedans that can via a nob or switch go from Touring, sport and performance mode and yet are roomy and spacious inside. Cadillac Cars and SUV/CUV should be a step apart from Buick, GMC and Chevrolet.
  12. Sink hole or did the water main break? Plane in the background makes me want to
  13. Pricing as they have always sold at a higher price point.
  14. You Crazy, that Ferrari is butt ugly, nothing special there, Corvette so beats that hands down. Nothing mad here, just shocked that anyone would find it attractive. Hell that makes the butt ugly Chevrolet Pickup trucks pretty. ?
  15. Ford Focus RS is officially dead in Europe as the auto cannot meet the current or future emission requirements. https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2020/04/european-emission-regulations-killed-the-ford-focus-rs/ Ford News gets worse, Ford is expected to have a $2 billion dollar loss for Q1 of 2020 after a terrible Q4 2019. China and Europe blinked off in mid January and as such, Ford SEC filing is stating a 16% drop for Q1 of 2020 and Q2 could get much worse. OUCH ? https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2020/04/gird-your-investor-loins-ford-predicts-2-billion-loss/ Awesome ride, asking price for this 1988 T-Top Buick LeSabre is $6,500 https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2020/04/rare-rides-the-1988-buick-lesabre-t-type-coupe/
