    Nope, first time in 13 months I did not go to the gym and just relaxed, drank wine, ate chocolate, had good food and veg'd. Over all I feel like a million bucks, my joints do not hurt, no stiffness or discomfort since my L1 to L6 are pretty much bone on bone. Strong core, but those mineral hot springs really make the body feel good.

    Any reason given as to why the pistons have to be replaced? At least the rings will be tight.

    It was AWESOME, check out my Random post about it here: Everyone should take a break and go soak in natural mineral hot springs.

    Gotta say that this train ride is beautiful as they state in the story. The Train from Oslo to Bergen: Europe’s Most Beautiful Rail Journey http://flip.it/s2bXZq

    Glad car lovers have the option, but right now the death of cars is I believe due to the gentrification of the cars. Coupe everything, blah jelly bean style, just a piss poor focus on building anything of desire in the car segment IMHO. I know some really loved the CLS, but to me MB style of the coupe had never been anything more than Blah style and it seems to have taken the whole car segment down this path of ugly blah uninteresting design. I hope the Coupe thing mostly goes away and we get back to having different style looks of our 4 door sedans.

    Wash and deep waxed the SS for the fall / winter season. Costco sells a complete kit from this company for $39.99 that has interior detail liquid, exterior paint cleaner and the everything wax and then a all type of metal polish. Does an amazing job.on older normal paints as well as clearcoats.

    Back from a week of PTO at https://www.fairmonthotsprings.com/ Love this place, so relaxing, made a day trip to Banf and Lake Louise in the Banf National Park. One day drive to Fairmont and an hour longer as we had a friend and took the Canadian trans highway back for another day drive. So 4 days of soaking and relaxing, Banf / Lake Louise on Monday due to weather, heavy snow the rest of the week. While the map says a bit over 1400 miles, total miles I drove showing our friend the area was close to 2000 for the week. Have to say the Escalade just purred along and is such a comfy road trip auto.

    Cool, while not a car fan, I am happy this is out. Looking forward to what GM and others roll out in the SUV category. Still hoping to get to try and fit in a Rivian.

    Somehow I doubt this is going to help Camaro sales with the bunker windows and that ugly face only a mother could love, I honestly doubt they will get many sales.

    So they pinch the thighs?

    And your feeling on driving this controversial styled Supera is ............. GMC is so much better looking than the Chevrolet. No wonder Chevy is in 3rd place. ?

    I can honestly see this being valid for a pickup truck pulling a trailer at say 10,000 lbs. 0-60 time and then a brake time of 60 to 0 pulling that same trailer. For all other auto's today, the 10ths of a second are now just insignificant since 99.99999% of everyone cannot tell the difference. Would still feel a 35 to 65 time loaded with 4 people averaging 185 lbs per person for a total weight of 740 lbs getting from local road to highway speed would be more important than a 0 to 60.

    Not bad if you want diesel.

    Seems Tesla has built 15 Tesla semi's for use at the Frito Lays plant in delivery around california. https://www.freightwaves.com/news/tesla-semi-electric-trucks-roll-into-frito-lay-plant

    Interesting read on the compact to Mid Size MEB platform. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1125374_audi-details-q4-e-tron-electric-crossover-teases-future-sedan-performance-models

    Just saw another Audi e-tron, they are becoming very common now around here. This one had a guy I figure to be in his 50's and he was not shy about giving it acceleration, it flew. Very cool to see them more than the Tesla X.

    My Bad, I totally missed the No part of that No Mayo. LOL, Yes I might just be, WHY.......... I am 43 minutes away from going on PTO and will be offline for the next week in the Canadian Rockies at Fairmont Hot springs. You can check it out here: https://www.fairmonthotsprings.com/ I will say they are the best Mineral Hot Springs EVER!!! Time to unplug and relax.
  18. G. David Felt
    How is Mayo dry? ? I love my SS and the natural V8 Borla sound it gives me, but on my Escalade ESV for road trips, I want it quiet so that I can enjoy my music and scenery. Love the Caddy for Road Trips, SS for playing around and moving around quickly. Let me ROAR or GLIDE depending on my use.

    Have not seen this era of Mustang in a long time. LX Mustang.

    If you want to read about the 4 platforms that VW, Audi, Porsche will use for EV/hybrid/ice, it is a good read. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2019/10/audi-is-planning-20-all-electric-models-by-2025-heres-how-it-will-do-it/

    Are ya sure it is deep in development? Daimler seems to have been stopping everything to reassess if it makes sense to continue selling. I am willing to bet a number of these low volume performance auto's get killed or existing versions are drawn out for awhile to reduce expenditures. GT is special, but not like the Corvette.

    @Robert Hall This is a good starting point, just take it up to luxury level for me on a Cadillac truck or SUV. This is close the Cadillac Kona interior, I just hate the all black dash.
  23. G. David Felt
    This +1,000,000 Totally agree that we can have quiet HVAC systems and Dyson has proven that with their fans. It costs money, but then especially for luxury auto's that is what it is all about. It should be whisper quiet. Yesterday met with some friends that are looking to replace their car and they test drove a Cadillac CT5 and then a Genesis 90 and told me while they love the exterior and interior of the CT5, it lost out to the Genesis which was way more quiet in driving.They both are 50 and said for them they love a spirited drive, but want as quiet an auto as possible. I think the Auto companies need to understand that and address it in the auto's. Like I said, it has it's place but not every auto has to have induction / exhaust noises. I would want that on a performance focused auto, but on a non performance focused ride, give me a quiet environment.

    I could go with either of those two colors but Tan shows up too much dirt for me, I think I really want the two tone Mocha brown interior. Nice and warm yet not the all black or all tan interior GM has done in the past. Mocha brown with some natural wood accents would be nice IMHO.
  25. G. David Felt
    That is a good question as I agree, while Black might look good with the Orange, if I had a green or just possibly any color really some customers might want everything color matched or monochromatic approach. It also brings up the question, how much of the exterior / interior parts will be natural carbon fiber? I can see from a money making standpoint that they would have a carbon fiber option kit that could replace the wing, the folding hard top and those vent highlights and I am sure other parts with a lite carbon fiber part. I know some hate the carbon fiber, but I can see a option kit like that.
