Totally get and agree on the interiors, Yet the body does speak to me. Maybe it is the older guy in me over ya young buck! Having that powertrain in the Riviera would have been AWESOME!

Heading back to Opera or Chrome, not happy with Edge. Seems to not give me the unique icons for my bookmarks. I cannot just drag and drop a tabout of a browser and have it become it's own page like in Opera or Chrome. A bunch of other nuances.

Easy for me to answer is all the bloody praise heaped on the hard plastic interiors of the superior Lexus CUVs and how they are better than anything America builds. My sister was all set to go test drive and buy one based on all the crazy praise the Lexus gets and once inside, she was totally underwhelmed. Test drive was also not impressive and she ended up buying the Buick Envision. Far superior to the Lexus.

Day 1: you start with 1 penny but end with 2^1 pennies Day 2: you start with 2 pennies and end with 2^1*2=2^2 pennies Day 3: you start with 2^2 pennies and end with 2^2*2=2^3 pennies ... Day 30: you start with 2^29 pennies but end with 2^29*2=2^30 pennies In dollars, you now have $10,737,418.24. (And not, $5,368,709.12, because 1 penny is what you have on day 0, not on day 1, when the doubling started) Of course, if every day you are adding what you are getting to what you already had, then in the end you would have $(2^31-1)/100, or $21.474.836,47.

@ocnblu Alright young man, please explain the down vote on the Electric Mack Garbage Truck post? ? Downvoting is your right, yet it would also be professional to then respond with why you downvote it so that we can all understand what you are downvoting? Is this just continuation of your hatred for all things electric? Hatred for NY trying to improve the air quality by removing toxic Diesel trucks? Hatred for MACK who sees the need for a better garbage truck and has built it? Hatred for the fact that Battery production is increasing nicely that should allow more auto companies to produce and release a larger variety of electric auto's? I am patiently waiting to understand! ???

I also know that I under consume as I hate to shop compared to most it would seem, I also feel Balanced Trade is a better term for what all countries should strive to achieve. I also agree that our Federal, State, County and city governments all FAIL to live within a balanced budget and over consume to a point of hurting American society.

One thing that is overlooked is that countries like Spain, Greece, France, etc. where they do have tariff's but also have high wages, unions, etc. also have a very high unemployment especially in the youth ranks. Spain runs 20-30% import Tariff, as such, debt is higher and unemployment rates are crazy high. Tariffs are NOT the answer. Here is a good read on the Tariffs of Spain: https://www.export.gov/article?id=Spain-Import-Tariffs Here is a good read on the debt to income in Spain due to Tariffs: https://www.magnuscmd.com/tariff-deficit-how-expensive-will-it-be/

I give ya the remake Yet some people are more like this: Then you have me which is more like this: or this: So True, Dictators love power and Tariffs tend to allow them to stay in power. Freedom needs to break it.

Seems VW averaged 128.6 mph in setting this new record. Makes ya wanna go Hmmmmm about ICE powered auto's. Porsche 919 Hybrid EVO set a lap time of 5 minutes 19.546 seconds that has remained pretty much untouchable since 2018.

Thanks for posting the news link. Appreciate that. I will politely and completely, disagree with you in regards to the scary right mental cases. Left has plenty too, both have lost their educated minds hung up on ignorant party line rather than looking to fix american working together. America's Extremist parties of the Left and Right, AKA Democrats and Republicans.

Yes, top end models are built in Texas, but the middle and low end models are built in Mexico and this is going to hurt the blue collar labor force more than the white collar. No matter what, Tariffs are not the way to go to solve social issues by hurting your own citizens with higher costs. Tariffs are the tool of ignorant individuals.

Thank you Robert for reminding us that they did presale all 275, so it is NOT a question of If it will get built but WHEN it will get built and then we will see real official numbers. My gut tells me that all the delays in the AMG1 is due to not hitting their original selling numbers on HP / Performance / Etc.

AMG One is Hyperware as no production and no real specifications at this point, just concepts which MB/AMG are good at showing but not delivering. Let's hold off on comparisons to mythical auto's till they actually are in real production form.

Interesting story, Washington state is considered to have the best economy in the US right now plus the worst unemployment rate for those not college educated. https://www.king5.com/article/news/state/washington-has-best-economy-in-us-study-says/281-650f8fcc-d58e-4d9e-9ee1-375fc513755b One does have to wonder how Tariffs are affecting our ability to export products. Washington leads the country in Export of fruit, yet the asian rim is taking less exports than they used too due to the tariffs. History is riddled with religious leadership attempting to control through ignorance the population. Religion would rather have everyone stupid and poor to blindly follow them. I totally agree that rational thought and science from educated individuals usually brings calmer heads. We do not need another holy war on a global scale.

So then should we just build walls between the states and require special visa's to move state to state then? ? After all the art of the deal is dead, dictator for life is the focus here as well as killing the economy, increasing costs to use consumers. The Art of political negotiation compromise seems to be going the way of the endangered species around the world. We seem to be heading back to the ignorant days of caste system of have and have nots with those born into wealth thinking they are the rightful rulers of everyone else. Education is the great equalizer that is failing the leadership to learn from history and improve on the future as a global society!

Asus has released the first pictures of the 30th Anniversary Prime Motherboard.

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.
