  1. For the 2022 model year seems a new updated 2.0 L Turbo 4 banger will come back to the Equinox and Terrain. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/10/02/chavy-equinox-2-liter-turbo-engine-returning/ Seems Ford CEO sees that Ford is missing a segment and is going to address something that many here have talked about. Low price affordable auto's. https://www.motor1.com/news/446865/ford-new-ceo-more-affordable-vehicles/
  2. It now seems based on reports coming out from unidentified sources that GM is looking to take an even bigger stake in Nikola and the building of the Nikola Badger Pickup Truck. It would seem that GM is looking for a way to recover costs from the R&D done on Hydrogen generators, storage and an EV platform that is what Nikola was planning for the Badger. Will be very interesting to see what comes of this as I can see value to be had in building a long range EV pickup using a Hydrogen generator. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-general-motors-nikola/gm-continuing-discussions-with-nikola-on-alliance-deal-idUSKBN26K2MF https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/gm-considers-boosting-stake-in-nikola-in-reworked-deal/ar-BB19CSv0?ocid=uxbndlbing https://www.autonews.com/automakers-suppliers/gm-considers-boosting-stake-nikola-reworked-deal-report-says New Tesla Crate motor for your V8 powered auto.
  3. Replaced the Charger with a New Charger?
  4. Seems the GM deal is now in Limbo, so the reveal event was scrapped till further notice. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1129807_nikola-badger-electric-pickup-debut-event-canceled-as-gm-deal-hangs https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/nikola-badger-electric-pickup-debut/
  5. Hauling
  6. Very cool, much appreciated. I see these guys prey on Mosquitoes, Flies, Caterpillars and Beetles. WOW Have to say I really like this car.
  7. Clearly some one is having fun and making sure folks that want a unique golf cart gets it. So many different options, posted a few that I thought you all would get a laugh out of. https://yeahmotor.com/moto/golf-carts/?v=2
  8. What a weird bug, what is it? Deformed Grasshopper?
  9. Nope as it stated, he worked in the mines for 17 years and black lung was rampant. He worked up into mgmt. left the mines and Gov started to move to put in places protection for the miners against Black Lung. He fought it, Ex-President Obama made the most stringent changes in the last couple decades to reduce the dust that causes Black Lung to a minimal effort requiring plenty of filtration, masks and fresh air and he still used everything he could to fight the new standards as they would cost more money reducing profits for the Coal company owners and share holders. History shows he could care less about the miners and yet now with the same Black Lung he is wanting companies to cover his medical. Hypocrite. IMHO
  10. Really, then how do you explain their First Edition being sold out as well as the first year of production?
  11. Platinum
  12. Here is the ultimate truck for the Diesel Lovers here: 12 Wheel, 42.4L V12 Turbo Diesel Engine, producing 1,500 HP with a 220 Ton carrying capacity, 105 ft long, 22 feet wide and 11 feet high. More details and pics here: https://www.thedrive.com/news/36839/the-soviets-built-a-12-wheeled-mega-truck-with-a-42-4l-engine-and-220-ton-carrying-capacity
  13. Seems Europe has done the first in depth review of assisted driving systems and Tesla has come up short compared to so many other auto companies. Many of the review writeups say the same thing as this one. https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2020/10/euro-ncap-develops-assisted-driving-assessment-bashes-autopilot/ The actual details of the testing and final scores are here: https://www.euroncap.com/en/vehicle-safety/safety-campaigns/2020-assisted-driving-tests/ https://www.euroncap.com/en/ratings-rewards/assisted-driving-gradings This does make me wonder how they would rate the Cadillac SuperCruise system. Very cool channel, Hydraulic Press Channel
  14. WOW, Talk about odd stuff at the Beijing Auto Show. All the History of the US auto Industry is up for Pirating I guess. Old Corvettes are the latest thing made new. Called the Dolphin SS and is a Hybrid with a 1.5 L Turbocharged motor and electric motor with 16 kWh battery pack for a 0 to 62 mph time under 5 seconds. Check out at the link for more interesting auto's that are clear rip offs of European auto's too. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/09/30/beijing-auto-show-strangest-vehicles/
  15. Talk about justice, a Man who went from being a coal miner to a CEO and fought every chance he could to remove all regulation, safety and environmental regulations on Coal is now Dying of Black Lung disease. He has since filed this week in his home state of West Virginia for Federal Black Lung Benefits. My wife says Karma is a Bitch you do not want to cross and I have to say that this man is getting what he deserves. https://www.wvpublic.org/energy-environment/2020-09-30/bob-murray-who-fought-against-black-lung-regulations-as-a-coal-operator-has-filed-for-black-lung-benefits
  16. Sad that they do not do an official announcement with details but instead bring it up during other verbal press releases. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/ford-mustang-shelby-gt350-production-end-discontinued/
  17. Considering I was on this site: https://www.supercars.net/blog/cars-of-the-1930s/ Saw the car and thought wow that is really cool for an old car. Love the style and design. I live moving forward into the Future and not living in the past. Your Post gets your the Ultimate next term in this thread. Douchebag
  18. Another reason for my dislike of the UAW. They leaders are screwing the union members. Former UAW president pleads guilty to embezzling union funds https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-autos-labor-corruption/former-uaw-president-pleads-guilty-to-embezzling-union-funds-idUSKBN26L3KY Time to face the Music Audi Ex-CEO, VWE expect more costs associated with Dieselgate. Ex-Audi chief arrives in German court to face dieselgate charges https://www.reuters.com/article/us-volkswagen-emissions-audi/ex-audi-chief-arrives-in-german-court-to-face-dieselgate-charges-idUSKBN26L1KG
  19. I would take this way before I would want to drive that BMW.
  20. Streamlined
  21. Juicy Fruit
  22. Except Tesla has already started to drop prices on Tesla Y CUVs so Ford is matching to be competitive. A Smart and sound business practice.
  23. Sums this up perfectly!
  24. I vote for a PHEV Wrangler!
  25. Bootylicious
