    @William Maley @balthazar @ocnblu @Robert Hall@Drew Dowdell Hey guys, I have not seen Drew on here in a while, anyone know if he is doing OK? I know with his job status things are up in the air. Wishing @Drew Dowdell all the best. Hope he is doing fine.

    Remember, I am 6'6" 280lbs and I workout daily. right now 20% body fat, working to get back to my competition days of 15%. I hit hard when I fly down the mountain, my bulk might bruise you my friend!
  4. G. David Felt
    Maybe my friend you need to workout more, bulk up so you can handle that cool nice moist air! FYI Stevens where I ski has a base of 108" as of today. Baker has a base of 165" today. Season is so young, lots of months left to ski.

    I can easily see some of the new Hummer EV having this style in it. Lots of people loved the look of this truck.

    Ya sure your not thinking of the Chrysler Aspen! This could be that, lift kit for say 6 inches, body cladding and BOOM, New Chrysler Aspen CUV!

    It would float by your Fiat, I mean Jeep, I mean Chevrolet, I mean .............. ?

    So growing up in Oregon then explains allot as you where either a Duck or Beaver fan and your right Oregon gets Rain, Washington gets rain but allot of drizzle. FYI, Snow fall averages by state show AZ with less than 5 inches a year compared to Washington with almost 16. http://www.usa.com/rank/us--average-snow--state-rank.htm Just to also set the record straight, Washington leads the Nation in recorded snow fall at our Ski Resorts. Mt. Baker leads the way with 701" average. That is 58 feet and 5 inches of snowfall. Like metric, 1,780.54 cm or 17.8 meters of snow. AZ seems to be missing from this list of most snow fall.............. Your right on one thing, do not have to have sun equal lights, but with the cloud cover it does end up darker more often than sunny. No depression in my household or family lines, but we do like to see what we are reading, eating, etc. Plus as one that enjoys having people over for Korean BBQ dinners and wine drinking, I like to have a warm, cheerful household for others to visit. Thinking of everyone else in wanting them to have an enjoyable time. Plus the 6500K led bulbs are dirt chip at Costco and pretty much will last forever, far better than the old incandescent bulbs which burn out so often. Glad you love your sun and heat, more for you and more cold for me. Sitting here in shorts and a tshirt with snow in the mountains and cold rain here, 39 degrees. Loving it!!!!

    Glad you like it there, pretty pics, but still too warm for me. Anything over 60 is bloody hot. If I could do my job from Alaska, I would move there.
  10. G. David Felt
    Keep delusion-ally telling yourself how you love it there. Being born here, the one thing you always do is put 6500K lights in your house so you have sun equal lighting. Never a dull depressed day. Love the drizzle 9 months of the year and the 3 months of summer that is 70-80's, no humidty and sunny. Plus gotta love our summer days of daylight from 4:30am to 11pm. 2 days in one. Work early morning and still enjoy a day of play after work. Yup, will keep my hiking, camping, outdoor activities year round. Course love that we have more boats registered here than auto's. After all so many lovely places to boat too and explore. Love my winter views when skiing. Better yet is my office view for working during the week. Yea can keep your heat hell of sun and skin cancer. I will enjoy the clouds and mountains and beauty of the PNW. Course your always welcome to come visit!
  11. G. David Felt
    Ya can keep the horrible dry heat. I love my rain and snow! ⛷️ Until ya get your legs and arms cut off and then your the Pool Bob! ?
  12. G. David Felt
    I help ya out and give ya a Dime!

    On the subject of Tesla, Musk has confirmed that in short term situations, the Model S does float as is proof in this eastern Europe video that a Tesla S owner posted showing all the ICE auto's that stalled out in a flooded tunnel and how his Model S using the wheels spinning was able to get around the auto's and out and continue on it's way. Sucks to be a standard ICE auto that day.
  14. G. David Felt
    Will be worth watching as this could have major ramifications on over the air updates / changes. Imagine you buy a fully loaded auto, go to resell it and then features disappear or become disabled by the OEM saying they did not get paid for selling the auto to a new owner with those features. very sucky. Major Suck Big Time!
  15. G. David Felt
    Have to say in comparing the outgoing model to this new incoming refresh, it is really sharp. Liking the new version. The only thing to make it better would be a 400 mile EV version using in-wheel hub motors so you have AWD with a ton more space inside.

    I have heard of the stories of Tesla removing features from used auto's put up for sale in essence forcing the new buyer to have to repay to get said features back on the auto. Really sucks and I think is just one of many reasons I do not trust Tesla. Now it is finally getting news time with the latest story of Tesla selling auto's with a set of features and the auto bought at Tesla Auction is resold to a new customer only to have Tesla audit over the air the auto and remove $8,000 of features saying they never really paid for it. https://jalopnik.com/tesla-remotely-removes-autopilot-features-from-customer-1841472617 I have to say this is a lawsuit as the paperwork shows the auto came with said features and it should not be removed. BAD TESLA, BAD

    @William Maley If ya get one for testing, please let us know how noisy the inside is. Reading around current owners say the engine is a noisy sewing machine but gets the job done and you hear plenty of road / wind / etc. noise.
  18. G. David Felt
    Is it just me or does that back remind me of the Honda Civic with the lighting? ? Really just a marketing bit with the ability to keep a fan going circulating air to have a cooler inside in hot weather climates I think.
  19. G. David Felt
    This is where I get it for EVs, but for ICE it makes no sense to me. They should have kept it L based. I do understand they are wanting people to get used to 400, 500, 600, 800, 1000 badgeing so when an EV comes out, it will not be a big deal.

    Found this story that covers the components that are going into the Mach e EV and have to say I am very impressed with the quality of parts Ford is using. It also clearly shows the reduction in complexity of an EV over ICE. Worth clicking the link if your interested. https://electricrevs.com/2019/11/18/mustang-mach-e-powertrain-up-close-and-personal/ This is a great picture. The motor on the left is on the RWD GT versions and you get two of these motors in the GT AWD version. The motor on the right is the RWD and AWD motor for non GT versions. Far more details at the link, but was cool to read on the quality of square heavy duty copper wire used compared to the ultra thin thread style that Nissan uses in the Leaf, etc.. Here is their 10 module battery pack with a single cell that is made for them by LG.
  21. G. David Felt
    Right especially when you can get other brands with 4 banger or V6. It really is messed up.
  22. G. David Felt
    Me thinks this engine will get the real world testing that Nissan wants and then in the new Frontier, it will have a considerable bump in power and torque. Still hate DOHC engines that have more HP than Torque.
  23. G. David Felt
    Correct, they are just applied panels, but at least it gave it a different look. Now the 3 have the same back, doors and front fenders, they are all identical if you removed the logo and that face, they should have stayed with Art n Science as it was a solid differentiating style compared to GMC and Chevrolet. Tue, I am one of the rare people that does take my Escalade off road, but that is rare compared to the bulk of them.
  24. G. David Felt
    I would agree with you in regards to the GMC and Chevy as the sides are almost identical, but Cadillac did stand out from the other two with their wheel wells and the cladding at the bottom of the doors.
  25. G. David Felt
    @Robert Hall Thank you for posting those images as it also clearly points out how far the Escalade has FAILED on this release for a UNIQUE Exterior compared to the GMC or Chevrolet brand. Now it truly does show just a rebadge job on the outside, so 1990's. What a shame that GM cannot seem to understand that Luxury needs to truly stand apart from the rest of the family. Here is what the family looked like in 2006. Platinum for Cadillac, Denali for GMC and Z71 for Chevrolet. All far more distinct than the current group now.
