Asus has released the first pictures of the 30th Anniversary Prime Motherboard. For those that like to build high end desktop system, this one should scream and destroy all those nasty decepticons. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/asus-announces-30th-anniversary-prime-x299-zenbook-13-zenfone-6,39527.html I have to say the Zen Phone 6 with it's 48mp camera that can go from back to front for the ultimate selfie is pretty cool too. Heat sink solid state drives to 2TB in size are the crazy wave now also. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/patriot-viper-vpn100-nvme-ssd,6116.html?utm_source=th-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20190531-th

If entry level CUVs were not so over priced, Gen Z would be buying them. Yet with School debt, buying an auto is not something the bulk of Gen Z can afford any longer. Cars are the only option for the few that can afford a auto payment.

(Reuters) - Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc could cover the cost of President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on Mexican imports by raising burrito prices by around 5 cents for customers, it said on Monday. The Mexican-themed restaurant chain said costs could go up by about $15 million in 2019 and reduce its margins by 20-30 basis points if the tariffs suggested by Trump are enacted, Chief Financial Officer Jack Hartung said in an emailed statement to Reuters. Trump said last Thursday the United States would impose a 5% tariff on all goods coming from Mexico unless the flow of illegal immigrants across the United States' southern U.S. border. "We could also consider passing on these costs through a modest price increase, such as about a nickel on a burrito," Hartung said.

Mack Electric Garbage truck for NY City. Battery capacity update: In March 2019, 9.76 GWh of passenger EV battery capacity was deployed globally, an increase of 94% year-over-year, according to Adamas Intelligence’s monthly report “EV Battery Capacity Monthly.” Adamas says this increase in battery capacity is especially remarkable considering that global EV sales increased by a mere 25% over the same period, showing that a far greater number of high-capacity EVs, like the Tesla Model 3, were sold this March than in March 2018. Corroborating the trend, Adamas also reported that the sales-weighted average passenger EV battery capacity deployed in March 2019 was 55% higher than in March 2018. Source: Adamas Intelligence

I have never understood the tattoo thing, just not attractive to me at all.

WRONG, You really need to crack a history book to learn how much taxes the Republicans have raised on Americans. Taxes and approval of borrowing against pensions / SSA have been a two way street with both parties guilty of destroying the retirement plan of America. Reagan actually did some of the worst damage against the SSA of all presidents. Clinton actually paid down more debt than any president. History page here if your interested in learning: https://www.ssa.gov/history/index.html PDF file for you to read the details of this history. SSA-History.pdf Throwing stones in a glass house when blame is equal on both sides of the coin and modus operandi you want to go over? How about the abuse and loss of rights to the LGBTQA. This is the Modus Operandi of the Republican party! Our country has shown it's best in the last 40 years when both parties reached across the isle and worked on a balanced budget, paying down debt and living within the means of existing taxation. That was the Clinton Administration. Live within a budget, open competition for all and job growth.

Love that Purple color. Other than that, too small.

20 years to Germans, a couple years in the US as a Toyota / Ford Competitor.

I really hope Cadillac does not go in the following direction: CT4 CT4 V CT4 V-Platinum ct4 V-Iridium Etc. etc. etc. To me this is a useless rebadging of the performance thread. Someone problely believes they need to have the SUV/CUV/Car all in the same naming flow which is not true.

So this is not Bob Barkers Price is Right!

He clearly does not care as he is not even capable of supporting America by buying and driving American. He used to brag about how great his Bentley or Rolls was, so let him move to those countries he loves to support and leave us alone. So much for the Art of the Deal!, Clearly our current leadership is clueless on how to best lead America and show leadership to the world. Sadly, this is giving the Chinese the ability to take the new world leadership role from America. The future is grim on many fronts due to poor guidance and planning of America. Some have said with the Amount of US debt owned by China, "Welcome to the Peoples Republic of America, a sovereign nation of China." ?

Wish I could remember the story published about Tesla having a starting price of $72,000 or so compared to the US. Tariffs and all, but clearly the latest stories have a better picture of the costs.

Sweet Ride, If you get a chance would love to see the interior and engine. That is a Really nice truck. Thank you for posting and sharing with us.

Working out at 24hr fitness, Ellen show is on, young couple just won a new blazer RS. GM is giving 1 a week away over the summer on the show in a random drawing at the end. Best GM marketing I have seen in a while. Reminds me of the Oprah G6 car give away to the whole audience years ago. Should drive traffic into Chevrolet show rooms.

Based on your thinking, Johan should have moved Cadillac to LA, San Fransico, Portland or Seattle then for a fresh mind set that would have brought in the Tech money, Not stinky old NY with set in stone thinking. NY is just as bad as Detroit based on your comments. Be interesting to see what all happens. Heck Cadillac could have gone to Miami if it really wanted a fresh mind set and badge snob scene.

Makes sense, Like Cadillac, never really understood the benefits of moving to NY other than to serve Johans ego. Infiniti should be able to do well as a focused luxury EV builder and then over time move the tech into Nissan.

Such simple times compared to the Dashes of today!

Maybe a value CPO for the Garage?

OK, in the PNW, it has. Sorry to all the couch potatoes out there.

Active Life Style has replaced the car, sit around, eat, watch TV and chat with friends and neighbors. As such I do not see the CUV/SUV fad going away any time soon if ever.

Electric AWD, could be a very cool roomy sedan.

This is NO TRAILBLAZER, This is a Cub Scout with marketing trying to say it is an Eagle Scout in Training. Shame on GM for screwing this one up!
