  1. Sad all that contamination and now the disposal of thousands of gallons of fuel due to flooding.
  2. I have seen this on so many mid west gas stations that have had to dispose of the contaminated GAS in the ground. LOL, Goes both ways.
  3. Rivian has become one of the best electric auto start ups with secured $3 billion in funding in the last year. https://electrek.co/2019/12/23/rivian-funding-tesla-investor/ Seems the 100,000 Amazon electric van order is valued @ $3 billion alone on top of building Fords F150 EV and bringing out their own truck and suv next year. Will be exciting to see how they affect other auto makers.
  4. Might not want to buy one any time soon as the Turbo 4 banger has been getting bad press. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/227170-2019-t1-silverado-4cyl-engine-problems/ I loved this post in the thread, LOL
  5. Not off by much but it is stated that the M5 is 241 g/km of CO2. https://www.nextgreencar.com/emissions/make-model/bmw/m5/ Which is higher than the Mercedes AMG version at 200 g/km of CO2 https://www.nextgreencar.com/view-car/75323/mercedes-benz-e-class-saloon-e-53-amg-premium-4matic+-speedshift-tct-petrol-semi-automatic-9-speed/ Course all performance auto's have high CO2 output, corvette is no difference for what is sold in Europe. Yet like you are fond of stating, Hybrids / EVs will fix it all and replace the ICE version. Corvette is expected to have a Twin Turbo V8 Hybrid version to reduce those emissions. https://www.motor1.com/news/384042/c8-chevy-zr1-hybrid-900hp/
  6. Death of AMG is nothing NEW, this has been forecast since 2017. https://www.carthrottle.com/post/the-death-of-amg-as-we-know-it-has-been-confirmed-and-its-coming-to-take-our-v8s/ Over the last 3 years, everyone has stated how the death of AMG will change the performance industry. https://www.carscoops.com/2018/04/death-mercedes-amgs-v12-will-mark-end-era/ V12 dead, V8 Dead, V6 death coming to a dealership near you soon. Technology is changing the way the game is played and will not really cause an uproar till Trucks and Full Size SUVs are told they cannot have Diesel, V8's or V6's. Some are going to to have a heart attack when that happens while others will embrace the change and move forward in the 21st century towards the 22nd.
  7. Agreed, I have bought Ford stock and sat on it, till after years of no change, I dumped it and even now, small change this is compared to other companies. I have never figured out why Ford over the last 20 years has never really grown in value like others have. I use a knife to cut them open and eat and not squirt myself. Hate it when that happens.
  8. Thank you, another youthful look at me, me and only me. Ignore the man behind the curtain.
  9. Special use, special need that is all Diesel is anymore. Replaced by more efficient turbo 2,3 and 4 bangers and hybrids / EVs.
  10. Seems the patents are starting to come out showing details of new features to the F150 EV and Rivian trucks. https://ww.electrek.co/2019/12/19/new-ford-and-rivian-patents-rethink-pickup-features-in-ev-age/ Some pretty cool stuff including packaging of batteries.
  11. That explains allot since they FAILED at Audi, Cadillac, so many attempts to copy German way of naming auto's and ended up with declining sales. Sad, so sad!
  12. Get Ready for MB to move to Hybrid FWD Everything, special high price for those RWD and AWD V8 machines and did you not get the memo? AMG One is dead.
  13. Interesting as I wonder what Marketing was done to justify this change especially when we seem to see auto companies go back to names and ditch the alpha numeric's.
  14. Nope, never said that. It is their responsibility to stay alert and be aware of their surroundings. Yes I would do everything possible to protect them, but that does not have anything to do with having an EV be quiet.
  15. The long range Performance Tesla 3 battery pack has a weight of 1,054 lbs. so if we drop 80%, that makes it about 210.8 lbs.
  16. I would take the Hand built Supercharge V8 over the twin turbo crap any day!
  17. I asked my North Korean friend how it was there, he said he couldn't complain On a scale of North Korea to America, how free are you tonight? Talking to a liberal is like trying to explain social media to a 70 years old. A liberal is just a conservative that hasn't been mugged yet. I don't approve of political jokes...I've seen too many of them get elected.
  18. Be interesting to see what really happens in 16 months once the merger is complete as Month 16 to 24 will be the assessment period and axe cutting period of products to survive.
  19. Cool, but I honestly question the need for plug-in hybrids and Diesel any longer.
  20. Month 16 and the Axe will fall on profit loosing products. Bye Bye Alfa, Fiat, Chrysler, etc.
  21. Yes, I am very much an Evolutionist, if wife, kids, parents, etc. did not pay attention to their job of walking and watching out, they get what they get. SAD YES!, Government is NOT supposed to protect you from Stupidity!
  22. OK, This gets even more stupid as looking closer at the Chevrolet dealership lot by me shows the following Suburban and Tahoe 2019 models get $14,000 off Suburban and Tahoe 2020 models get $7,245 off No 2019 Traverse in stock, but 2020 models get $3,800 off RS and $4,200 off High Country No 2019 Equinox in stock, but 2020 models get $6,093 off 2019 Trax get $8,200 off and 2020 get $2,713 off When do they wake up to the fact that ongoing constant factory rebates diminish auto value. Price it right and go after based on quality and features.
