They said it was delayed, not dead yet. Once the Camaro was dead too. Yes, some people do crazy things when they live in the 1% club. For me and you, much like other auto enthusiasts, we work over time on our projects to make them happen. Still spend money just decide how and when we spend on our project.

Yea, I understand that, but his art does nothing for me, so paint away I say. To each their own, that is why options are the best. I would take a sexy Jaguar E-Type conversion that they are doing. This sexy body on a modern electric powertrain zipping along.

The USA #2 largest Natural Gas producer has filed for Bankruptcy protection from creditors. Chesapeake Energy Corporation filed for protection due to their high debt load and the ill timed move into Oil production just before the pandemic hit. Low Oil and Gas prices with high debt load made it impossible to repay the loans and as such forced the company into Chapter 11. https://electrek.co/2020/06/29/egeb-natural-gas-bankruptcy-chesapeake-energy-corporation-dutch-wind-farm/

India Tata motors has brought to market an $18,000 EV. 194 miles of range for the FWD EV. https://electrek.co/2020/06/29/indias-18000-tata-nexon-ev-points-to-global-ev-affordability/ Peugeot reveals their electric commercial van. Two battery options for a choice of 143 miles or 205 miles of range. https://chargedevs.com/newswire/peugeot-reveals-e-expert-electric-commercial-van/ Personal choice and CHOICE is the key here. I have no problem with you having your ICE auto. There should also as is finally happening choices to go EV on older auto's for those that do not want to build their own project. I AM an Automotive Enthusiast and I AM worth it and still I like the sound and way EVs drive and work.

How is that any different than someone that takes that same 85 Mustang LX and puts in a role over cage, new suspension and a powerful ICE power train so they can race. People make changes all the time to low cost old auto's. Just now we have the options of doing it with electric power train. Crate motors exist now that can change out the ICE engine with an Electric motor connected to the Transmission and you just add battery pack and controller. Options, that is what we are getting more of.

I can respect that, I loved the sound of the custom built 402 in my suburban, yet also as I have gotten older, I do not care for the loud sound any more. I would rather have the quiet with the space and room. As to why my 1994 GMC SLE suburban is my project auto that will eventually have the ICE power train ripped out and electric put in. Just like @Drew Dowdell loves his old car, some of us would rather have an old auto that is quiet as an EV. I would expect more older auto's to end up getting converted to EV than to modern ICE.

I understand what you are saying, but Tesla is so butt ugly. Those old classics are far better looking than any Tesla. Take your favorite auto you have fond memories of and think if it was your personal auto with electrical power train. Giving you more room and quiet.

And some of us are older than you all #52feeling25. ? #AgeStateOfMind

That is allot of John's and you ended up a Robert? ? LOL

Yet the Econolines are still cheaper to fix than the Sprinter.

If I ever get a dog, I will look first at rescue dogs, but if I find nothing I like, it will be a Lab Puppy.

Kia has a new iMT manual transmission with higher MPG while keeping those that want to be engaged in driving a manual happy. Seems to be a computer controlled drive by wire manual transmission. Makes me think an fake manual auto tranny. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/06/26/kia-rio-intelligent-manual-transmission-clutch-by-wire/ Happy Birthday Robert. So glad you had a great day during this Pandemic. Continue to stay safe my friend!!! Woof, Woof, Woof to your little Fur kids. WOW, Awesome reading and video review of the 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with EcoDiesel power train. Shocking is that this fully loaded Wrangler costs $65,000 dollars! ??? https://www.autoblog.com/2020/06/25/2020-jeep-wrangler-rubicon-unlimited-ecodiesel-love-hate/

My sister and Brother in-law have an appliance repair company and after a few years went back to ford vans as the sprinters cost more to maintain and rusted and just sucked over all. Terrible product.

Seems Auto Collectors are warming up to conversions of their classics to EV. Aston Martin and Volkswagen have joined Jaguar, Lunaz and MW Motors out of Czech Repulic in offering conversions to EV on their auto's. This company tailors to the rich 1%, but very nice to see these old sexy auto's out and about running. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1128661_classic-jaguar-bentley-rolls-ev-conversions-no-gasoline Sexy XK120 would love to own if I could fit. Doing conversions on 1955 to 1965 XK 120 and XK140 models. These get two electric motors for a combined 316 HP and 516 lb-ft of torque. Moves the Jag from 0 to 60 in 5 seconds. 80 Kilowatt battery pack good for 250 miles of range. Imagine how quiet and sexy this is now with an EV power train. Lunaz does EV conversions on Bentley Continental S2 Flying Spurs, Rolls-Royce Cloud and Rolls-Royce Phantom V

Started physical therapy for a left frozen shoulder. At the place I spied this truck in the parking lot.

Correction, this is NOT a Truck OEM, it is a Dealership and yes I could go out to Dealerships and see what they list trucks for. I was pointing to the OEM.

Charging in the West Coast with High Speed DC chargers are very common. So I would disagree that this image represents the EV commercial trucks. We are at the starting of a change in commercial freight movement. The Semi Truck makers just need to deliver beyond big pre-orders of start ups or existing OEM truck builders.
