FYI, I gave it a confused look as the auto is confused and does not know what the hell it wants to be. Talk about just one of the weirdest auto's out there. But then what do you expect from a Dictatorship country where freedom of expression is so limited.

Football fans who love football QB Brady can now have a chance to own his Escalade as he puts the custom ride up for sale. Seem Sly Stallone is also putting his Becker Escalade up for sale.

EQC, EQS, are as much vaporware as the LYRIQ at this point. The EQE has not been seen or even probably started to be designed yet since they have had to delay their current 2 EV's. GLB is a cheap update of an existing model. They still cut 7 models from their lineup. They have clearly stated more cuts are coming. The days of enthusiast auto's and niche builds are over in this current pandemic global business world. MB, the Toyota/Chevrolet of Germany is now hurting and has done what the others did, overextend in building niche auto's that no longer can be supported by current sales. MB will be shrinking the portfolio considerable over the next 18 - 24 months.

Nikola Corp. has bagged a EV Garbage Truck deal with Republic Services garbage company to develop and build 2,500 electric waste and recycling collection trucks announced today. Nikola shares jumped 22% in afternoon trading. The Zero Emission vehicles will have a range of 150 miles and will be integrated into their fleet starting in 2023. The deal has a expansion clause of an additional 2,500 vehicles over the life of the agreement. Republic says these garbage / recycling vehicles will offer quieter operations in neighborhoods, lower maintenance costs and lover emissions over the life of the auto as they move to electrify their fleet and retire out diesel vehicles. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-republic-servs-orders-nikola/nikola-bags-order-to-make-2500-electric-garbage-trucks-for-republic-services-idUSKCN2561MX

Off-roading in an EV SUV is already proving to be superior to an ICE auto. Better crawl mode and decent control with electric motors. The Monochromatic Z71 would be awesome with a large Frunk and better control plus nice and quiet.

Hi Drew, I know most of the smart head units now have theme that allows you to choose the background image. Reading the owners guide for my head unit which I have never changed the default theme, it would seem that you can do this. I will test it it on my system this week and let ya know. My habit is to remote start the auto, unlock, get in and plug in my phone and the first thing I see is the Android screen, so I honestly have not looked to see what it does when you manually start the auto. I will test this and let you know.

Listening to Black by Lee Hyori. Hard to believe she is 40 years old.

Audi has announced that the 2021 E-Tron will now start $8,800 lower in price at $66,995. This is not a price cut but an entry level trim level that Audi had previously said was on the way. You now have 3 Trim packages. Prestige Trim Starting Price - $80,195 Premium Plus Starting Price - $75,895 Premium Trim Starting Price - $66,995 Adding the Convenience Plus Package takes this price to $70,495. I believe they should have just made the Convenience plus package standard as anyone that uses electronics including their smartphone will demand this when you have ICE auto's with the features standard for half the price. I get that they can advertise the E-Tron starting at $66,995 but I doubt you will ever find a base bone auto like this on the dealer lots. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1129140_2021-audi-e-tron-suv-gets-8-800-lower-base-price-plus-more-range

Listening to this, really enjoying the rhythm. The guy is an idiot for breaking up with this hottie. Gotta say love the subtitles to understand the song, funny the way K-Pop uses so much English in their songs.

Motor Trend posted a first drive / review of the Z71 Suburban. Have to say this is the first time the ugly front end does not look too bad. It actually would not be a bad looking EV SUV in this monochromatic look. https://www.motortrend.com/cars/chevrolet/suburban/2021/2021-chevrolet-suburban-first-drive-review/

Awesome EV conversion on making a true luxury auto even quieter. Seems the owner of Johnny Cash 1970 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow had 130,000 miles on it and needed a full powertrain replacement. Many here will hate taking a classic and changing the powertrain, but in this case, I think it makes total sense since your not looking for a roar of a V8 Mustang or Corvette but a totally quiet smooth ride. As such, I think this conversion is awesome for making the auto even better. The owner purchased a new Tesla Model S as the Donor auto to be used to update this RR Silver Shadow. https://www.thedrive.com/news/35534/a-classic-rolls-royce-with-a-tesla-swap-makes-perfect-sense

Cracking up laughing as one of the most well known designers from BMW and the father of who designed the X5 for them, has not much kindness for the new Nostrils on the new BMW sedan.

I really like these. They have my Vote for the new headlights to get.
