MAY 2020 Auto Sighting
picked up the SS from the dealership after GM under warranty replaced a failed front left wheel bearing hub assembly. Ran into a guy picking up a new CT6 V edition. Was loving it, I asked him what he traded in and he pointed to a BMW i8. Had 28,000 miles plus on it. Said his wife loved how quiet the auto was but wanted space and to not be sitting to low on the ground. He said alsonif BMW could build it without all the maintenance as the extended range system required more work than a normal auto due to having to disassemble so much of the body to get to the hybrid system. I would say cool auto that was a build fail for low maintenance.

Like the Influenza of 1918/1919, expect this over the next 18 to 24 months. I expect an increase in cases for the fall, the time to take an actual real vaccine, test, verify and then produce for global use will take time, so I do not see an end to social distancing and shelter in place at home till after 2021.

Industry News: Ford Executive Wants A Sequel To "Cash for Clunkers"
While I have no problem with the government spending tax dollars on new tech to get things moving forward as to why I support the EV rebates for now, eventually they have to go away. Things that need to go away are pork like the $50 billion given to the oil industry for exploratory drilling. WHY, Exxon Mobile made over $100 Billion in pure profit last year, I doubt they need tax dollars for finding new oil well's especially when they make that much money. Another PORK that needs to go away is the billions spent on maintaining the worlds biggest Tank fleet parked in the high Dessert in California when the military says they do not want or need tanks in this modern world as they are not useful in the modern warfare world. Just a couple of examples where we need to cut fat, live within our budget and focus like we did in the 90's paying down national debt.

Deep Metallic Forest Green my dad had on his 49 Merc and it was amazing! It was very much like this: Wish he still had it, but traded it in for a Mercury station wagon late 60's as my two older sisters and me made them go after a bigger roomy auto for the family.

I understand that, I just do not see value in people trashing a product like this as it is not even a valid review video. Guess I just do not see any reason why people have to be like that in the video. I am also the type of person that sees no value in social media Idiots that only want people to look at them like the Kardashin morons or how ever you spell their name.

True, impressive that it still ran so well after all the crap they did. Still, work is so hard to earn the money to then trash something that cost so much.

I will never understand IDIOTS that destroy auto's just for the sake of seeing if they can. Anything can be destroyed and why would you pay that kind of money to then abuse it. Must be a trust fund IDIOT! ?

Yes, I realized that as I dialed down into the local details by powertrain and saw 86 in my area that are diesel and 24 of them with standard bed.
