Stupidity of teens on HWY 129. East coast.

I think that is a Smirk of "Wait till I get you home!" ?

Official GMC announcement about the delay of their Hummer by GMC reveal date. Development stays on track, production stays fall 2021 still with availability in first half of 2022. Reveal will happen once GM gets their folks back to work. https://media.gmc.com/media/us/en/gmc/home.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2020/apr/0429-hummer.html

Beginning

Old Age

Seems while we have a delay on the Hummer by GMC, they did release an updated teaser video. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/04/29/gmc-hummer-ev-reveal-postponed-teased/ Excited to see removable roof panels and the story says that it will have the multi-gate that is on the Denali Trucks. Excited to see one and test drive it and who knows could end up buying one.

There are some nice wine fridges that can hold 50 bottles with double doors so you can have reds on one side aging nicely and cold whites / Roses on the other. I did forget to mention my wife has a 50 bottle wine fridge full of her whites nicely chilled so any time she wants, she can get what she wanting in a white including her lovely but sweet Ice Wines. Costco sells a couple fridges for this, Home Depot sells a few also. There is a wide selection online you can order. They really do make life nice to have a selection of wines chilled and ready especially with summer coming on.

I also hate face masks as they fog up the glasses and make the face hot and uncomfortable. I understand the logic and science behind why we should wear one, but I have to say that so far be it the type of mask you are wearing in this photo, more advanced ones that are being sold, cloth re-washable ones or even the commercial face masks with canister filters. They all make my face hot, sweaty and totally uncomfortable on top of fogging up the glasses. Maybe we should all get Nasa outfits and just wear a spaceman helmet!

Well stocked wine cellar, about 900 bottles and a decent small batch liqueur cabinet.

Right, Wife figures less time in crowded stores where we could possibly catch a virus means more time relaxing with good food and drink at home. I will say you never had garlic till you have true fresh garlic from the yard. Love it! Yes a very boxy front end and yet I like it for some reason.

Here is something that you can all debate about. What you get when you cross breed a Mustang with a Ford Flex! Mustang Flex??? https://www.autoevolution.com/news/ford-mustang-flex-face-swap-rendering-is-a-big-surprise-143080.html

Got all kinds of crazy veggies the wife wants. She has a HUGE amount of Veggie starts in her Green house. Will take a pic when out tomorrow and post. Zucchini, crookneck squash, Tomatoes, Corn, Sesame leafs, Various peppers hot and savory, Korean Lettuce, Korean Perilla leaves, pumpkins, Walla Walla Onions, Leeks, Green Onions, Potatoes, etc.. I have Garlic growing already as you plant that in the winter. Have a large in ground garden which holds the onions, Potatoes and Squash plants.

Finished up on Monday the latest edition to our garden, a 5 ft wide x 10 ft long x 2 1/2 ft tall vegetable garden bed. Organic and should serve a long life for us.

Wheel Bearing

Suspension

Not everyone can wear a mask. I have realized that for my wife who has claustrophobia, that the mask adds heat to her face and does make it a bit harder to wear and she starts to as I say freak out a little bit. I have seen some people fully freak out and rip the mask off. So not everyone can use them especially asthma folks as the heated air is harder to breath than cooler air. It is going to be interesting to see how mask use goes over the next few years. I agree, that I can see as costs come down people having 1 of each. a ICE for longer road trips, hauling trailers, etc. EV for inner city / inner suburban driving with the ease of recharging at home every night.

Winter

Stop making fun of your brother, or is that a cousin? Inbreeding makes things so hard to tell.

Yes, I posted that in the random thread with a bunch of other news. Ford is focusing on their F-150 EV pickup and the Mach-e.

First off, in those videos that you attack that are PROOF is that the 2019 AMG could NOT hold their own against the 2019 Corvette ZR1! Enough said, MERCEDES LOST! Two, The bulk of society does not buy nor care about the overpriced auto's you mention here nor would you race a Bently, Brabus, Phantom or even an Escalade against a Corvette ZR1! Final Point, is this thread is about the C8 Corvette. The fact that you have to throw auto's priced 4 time or more against the corvette in your attempt to prove that America cannot build a true performance race car shows that you would rather be an Ostrich with your head in the sand than one to appreciate true engineering power. Maybe you should spend a little time at this site to fully understand the C8 Better! https://www.chevrolet.com/performance/corvette I also am sure once the Carbon Fiber rims are made available much like what the Ford Mustang has that we will see further weight reductions as they move forward with other areas that can be changed reducing weight. I would not be surprised to see them point out the weight savings on the 2021 ZR1

Ye they all are hurting, good to see this time at least Ford and GM both have lines of credit they can draw from to ride out the pandemic.

Seems Ford is going to GO BIG with SCREENS when the 2021 version of their F-150 pickups come out according to the leaked pics at The Drive :https://www.thedrive.com/news/32948/the-new-2021-ford-f-150s-interior-goes-big-on-screens

FORD is BLEEDING MONEY to the Tune of $5 Billion dollar loss this quarter and it is due to the Covid-19 virus. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ford-motor-results-idUSKCN22A1CX And this bring in the first project killed / delayed at this time which is the Lincoln Luxury SUV EV is now off for the immediate future in being built as a joint venture with Rivian. https://www.thedrive.com/news/33211/lincolns-ev-project-with-startup-rivian-falls-victim-to-coronavirus While GM is going full speed ahead with their EV plans and have scaled back their ICE R&D. Ford is committed to their F-150 EV and the Mach-e. As such it makes sense that even as Rivian said the bulk of the work was done and it was a release schedule time line now for the Lincoln EV, they are focusing on the F-150 and Mach-e. Stated is that the Lincoln could show up later once things pick up or feature / functions show up in other EVs for ford. Who knows at this time with the global economy in a depression. For the ICE Fans, Ford Ranger Rally which is a real auto sold in the world just not here and comes with a big Turbo Diesel and manual trans had a heart transplant as an African company is making them now with the Ford Raptor Twin Turbo V6 engine giving plenty of power even though it is not a V8. https://www.thedrive.com/news/33199/ford-ranger-rally-raid-truck-has-a-twin-turbo-raptor-engine-and-sequential-manual
