Cadillac News: Cadillac Making Some Changes To The V-Series
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Cadillac
Excitement! Two things come to mind, one is you could buy the platinum with the detuned twin turbo V8 and then update the programming I am wondering and when will they roll out the V-Series for the CUV / SUV product line? -
Love the pictures and history on this story of the fastest cars Car and Driver has ever reviewed. Starts with the 1958 Chevrolet Corvette. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/autos-sports/the-quickest-cars-car-and-driver-has-ever-tested/ss-BBNfnC7?li=BBnb7Kz#image=1

For you I figure you would want the car as is. For me, if I found an old car cheaply that looked like this, restoring would be with a modern powertrain.

Anyone want a Jaguar Pickup, AKA F150 with a nose job? http://www.thedrive.com/news/23631/someone-gave-this-ford-f-150-the-strangest-jaguar-s-type-makeover

Sounds like something a 3rd party programmer could due to improve performance by removing OEM coded pauses to mimic a real traditional transmission.

V12 1940 Lincoln Continental for Sale to a good home. @balthazar I think this could meet your sizing needs for a spacious car! https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/lincoln/continental/1987481.html Certain people can crucify me later, but think if you built this car with an electric powertrain and had that front as a Frunk to complement the trunk. Talk about quiet, roomy and who cares how much luggage you wanted to bring.

https://www.autoblog.com/2018/09/18/european-bicycle-speed-record-set-porsche-cayenne/ This story makes me question just how real world records are when you have other devices making special cocoons of air voids or towing to a certain point before said bike can work. These are not real world tests. They are Failures IMHO. No external items should be allowed in attempting to make a world record.

https://www.autoblog.com/2018/09/18/audi-e-tron-sportback-suv/ Seems a Sportback version will join this baby next year as an option. Very cool. Also at the LA auto show this year, VW is planning to show off their new GT EV concept. Exciting year for us auto enthusiast. -
Fiat News: Rumorpile: FCA To Switch from V6 to Straight-Six Engine
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Fiat
running into issues with size and power constraints tells me that the V6 was already built at it's maximum potential. Sad failure to build an engine that way. Seems the story at Auto Evolution states the following: Love it or hate it, the Pentastar V6 is getting on a bit. In addition to age, the six-cylinder suffers from cylinder head failure and overheating of the valve seats. The cam phasers, oil filters, and cap O-rings also leave much to be desired from a naturally aspirated engine.- 19 replies

Seems really stupid for companies to enforce a mandatory tie policy of fancy clothes for everyone especially when the bulk of the employees never interact with the customer.

I would think using the Turbo 4 banger from say the Wrangler so 300HP with Electric assist hybrid powertrain would give it a nice Pacifica RT package.- 39 replies

Review: 2018 Mazda CX-5 vs. Volkswagen Tiguan
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Reviews
Also like the Redline package, just sucks that you cannot get it in other colors as a Redline package in Ivy Metallic would be awesome. Weird that they also do not allow the sunroof option though that I could careless about for myself, others in the family like the big panoramic roof.- 16 replies

Tommy Bahama makes high quality cloths that do cover the Jimmy Buffett style as well as more business casual wear. The company tagline is one swing at a time. Tommy Bahama website They cover from swim wear to houseware. It is all about the casual relaxing lifestyle. After all you can go Island Zone in clothes to more city zone in style. They even have a Tommy Bahama NFL collection for Men and Woman. I will say that their Restaurants are awesome. Top notch service and outstanding food. Worth going to if you are in one of the markets that has a place. Stores & Restaurants Locations Hope you can make it someday as I really love the food. If nothing else they do deliver some of their food items such as the yummy Pina Colada Cake.

I get that, when I was in sales, I was personally dressed at Nordstroms so that I hit everything right in the tech sales. Once I flipped to Engineering, my most casual dress is clean nice jean shorts and Polo shirts, I have a nice selection of Tommy Bahama as they are worth the coin. Last long and look good. I honestly get dressed up once a year now for our big trade show in Vegas and that is it.

Yuppies do Tommy Bahama now. Swinging in the breeze!

Audi News: 2019 Audi e-tron Joins the Electric Car Fray
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Audi
I suspect based on pricing out controllers, motors, electric heater, electric ac for my conversion of my 1994 GMC Suburban that the cost is way cheaper for an EV powertrain, but the battery is where the big cost is at. Battery pack is 10 times the cost of the powertrain.
