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.

Fiat News: Rumorpile: FCA To Switch from V6 to Straight-Six Engine
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.

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.

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.

Interesting to see what changes on the SUV. The cars I could care less about, though I am happy to see them go the Hybrid route.

Yes, I could so just live in the Yukon and off the land and enjoy the peace and quiet with no modern tech at times.

September 8th to the 16th was National Drive Electric Week
https://driveelectricweek.org/index.php Started in 2011 and now from a local to a national even, last week was the biggest turnout ever for National Drive Electric Week. Washington state alone had 17 individual events. This year for 2018 there was a total of 322 events during the week throughout all of North America. As is to be expected, the top auto's most commonly found at these events are Tesla, Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Bolt / Volt, BMW i3 / i8, plus all kinds of cool conversion auto's. Plenty of shows all over but here were some cool ones like this one in New Jersey. Here was one in Issaquah Washington at the XXX Root Beer Burger place.
