38 here in Seattle, Heat wave ?, send cold and moisture please.

That is a great mod set to your Truck. Congratulations, awesome!

Very cool sounding project. Look forward to following your Journey!

That Rocks, anything special on the Trans and Diff? I took my 94 GMC Suburban SLE and bored it out to a 402 and put in a purposeful built trans with a 425 16 bolt diff. It really moves.

William, Entry / Exit, looks like a really racked windshield. Would you say taller than the national 5'8" tall average could smack their head getting into and out of the car?

Horny Frog Car!

Awesome S10, Very cool, what is under the Hood?

@JustHatched Welcome to C&G. Crazy group of auto nuts. Some shelled, some still in the shell. All is good and we have a great debate on everything. 50 Degrees in Seattle Washington. Freak'in Hot, please send Vortex and Snow, Need more powder for skiing. ⛷️ Look forward to discussing auto's with you. What do you Drive?

Congratulations, Awesome Truck!

That is my concern too, this Head in the Sand Ostrich approach that seems to have fostered here is going to truly make us like the UK. Socialist mess of fear everyone and fall behind the future for kids. Global business is a reality, focus on our national infrastructure and schools to make sure our kids, the future workers of America have the skills needed to compete. I know we have GPS tractors that can autodrive but they still require a person behind the wheel who just sits there once they line up and start the tractor going. China took this a step further and truly got the person out of the field with a office based approach to charge, disconnect, drive to the field, plow, return to the barn, plug back in. I can see the ability to feed humanity being so much easier when silent electric tractors can plow through the night except when they need to recharge and reduce the prep, tilling, planting down to a fraction of the time. I would not be surprised to see them take this to the next level of harvesting which will further reduce labor needs on the farm.

New China TV showed off China's first self driving all electric farm tractor. This tractor is able to plow the field and return to the barn and plug back in for recharging. The tractor is completely computer controlled so you can set the pattern of plowing, area to be plowed, etc. China sees this as a great advancement in helping to feed the people better with less labor wasted. The torque of electric motors is perfect for this type of work were consistency is required over speed. https://www.youtube.com/user/ChinaViewTV/videos

I understand that, but did you check it out and do you like the looks? What are your thoughts on this bike? Seems to fit in well with current bike design being an EV.

Yet if they are discussing this which the story above is clearly saying they are, which one would you rather see them build, Performance or Off-Road?

@Drew Dowdell I am really likeing the Zero's SR bike. Pure Electric Naked bike with 150 miles of range. https://www.zeromotorcycles.com/zero-s/ More reviews on the 2019 electric Motorcycle options.

SuperBowl Ads are starting and some are funny and some are Meh.

I would have to say a Performance CUV would be more important for Lexus than an Off road one.

Agree. it is just too funny that a little cold weather freaks schools out and they close. Agree Big time that computers are supposed to HELP us, Not replace us and in that regards I would love a modern auto WITHOUT the Nanny devices and require people who want to learn to drive to have to go to an indepth school where they teach more than they do today. I think it is very important as I took my kids up onto the pass in an empty parking lot to have them experience driving and sliding and how to turn into the slide and regain control. I really think the cost of drivers education is piss poor cheap here compared to other countries and we need more attentive drivers not slackers relying on self driving. I do have to question just how far is going with computers good for humanity? I love the Frank Herbert Dune Universe and do wonder if it would not be better to have our basic education system youth skills earlier so they can be focused on being optimized. The Movie Hidden Figures that deals with Nasa being the first to the moon shows that humans are the ultimate computer and yet we still need computers to handle a larger amount of calculations and yet down to the final details, the human mind is still best. Human Thinking Computers, What is wrong with that!

This has got to be the Quote of the Day from a news story about the Vortex: But in Kentucky, Gov. Matt Bevin complained that people just aren't tough enough. In an interview with WHAS radio of Louisville, Bevin said he wasn't happy that dozens of districts were canceling classes Wednesday. "Now we cancel school for cold," Bevin told Terry Meiners, the host. "I mean, there's no ice going with it or any snow. What happens to America? We're getting soft, Terry. We're getting soft." Bevin said that he was being "only slightly facetious" and that he had a real concern — "that in America, on this and any number of other fronts, we're sending messages to our young people that if life is hard, you can curl up in the fetal position somewhere in a warm place and just wait 'til it stops being hard. And that just isn't reality."

Naw, plenty of asian choices in that auto segment, so they are not being written off, just being pointed at a few less choices.

@oldshurst442 I love the Human Brain and Body too, Just rather it be Female over male football players. Love me Japan Hooters! Or Korea Course Hooters and Cars is always AWESOME!

True they have failed but not the power trains as has been proven with commercial electric trucks used for years on the East Coast. It has always been our tech of Power Storage, AKA Batteries that failed us. Now we are finally getting the Batteries to a point where EVs make sense.

@ocnblu is on PAUSE ?

China Fit in there somewhere? ?

I never use either, have no need and will either take community transit bus or I drive myself. To me Uber and Lyft is just a nicer version of taxis with more flexibility. I see this as more of a modern replacement for the nasty taxis. I do not see in my life time people giving up auto's for a Uber / Lyft service world. That is at least another 50 years.

Yup pretty much bricks on wheels, Rivian does change the look as does Atlis.
