  1. Back in Seattle and on the internet. Love the cool weather and drizzle.
  2. Mobil pgone reading sucks, cannot really see enough in the photos. Hopefully, it looks better than what I can see. Not really wow'd by the pictures.
  3. Calling for rain in Austin today, Humidty is off the chart. Any moment it will pour!, packing up and heading to the airport. so glad to fly home to mid 40's and down pour of rain.
  4. Why oh why does Austin Texas Exist? Here working DellEMC World trade show. 8:30pm, 88 degrees and 90% humidity. Talk about sucky, sticky, heat. So glad to fly home tomorrow. Tex mex food is good. El Penole, fajita enchiladas with mexican corn and broccoli's. Grande top shelf margarita plus chips with hot salsa amd guac dip.
  5. Driving a motorcycle is like russian roulette. Why I drive suvs, as much steel around me as possible. I love my bikes, but not willing to risk my life.
  6. It is a luxury brand, so these affluent folks should not have a problem paying the price if they are wanting a luxury off road capable driving machine.
  7. Proof that smaller is not always better. Just look at the emissions. I hope this continues till the Hybrids and EVs take over. After all, bigger is greener!
  8. 1993 - $379 for 1994 GMC SLE Fully loaded Suburban which I still own. Current - none, all are paid off.
  9. This All Terrain wagon could do very well if it is butch enough. They need to give it enough look and capability to make it rock to those that want the wagon over CUV / SUV look.
  10. Great write up, glad to see they are continuing to improve the car line. Now if they could just do something about that face! A face only a Mother could love.
  11. Failure, how does a 1.5L 190HP / 179lbs Turbo engine with less torque become better than their 2.4L 184HP / 180Lbs engine. Sounds like they are just trying to keep sales going by reducing the engine size to meet stupid tax in Europe, Turbo it to make people think they are getting a faster more powerful engine and yet all they got is an engine that probably needs more than 84 octane gas, rev it hard to get it to move and have less gusto. This just sounds bad from the get go. Failure all the way except to the Honda Faithful that will suck up every word and believe and not think twice.
  12. Limited Editions are the same as special editions. They are in limited numbers. Just cause American auto companies do not over use the Special name like the germans, does not mean these are special. All 6 of those are very special editions.
  13. Here is my Dream garage and I am sure those that know me are not surprised by this. 2008 AWD Trailblazer SS 1993 GMC AWD Typhoon 1991 GMC Syclone 2006 AWD Silverado Intimidator SS 2015 GMC Sierra Carbon Special Edition 2016 Grand Jeep Cherokee SRT Night Hawk Special Edition
  14. Could they have done a better job of building a new dated car?
  15. Totally makes sense to put this on hold. Finish the more advanced Mission E, use the ubber Wealthy .01% to pay for the R&D, then push out this into the rest of the company product portfolio. That is how you do it right! My gut also tells me this is Porsche responding to the potential only EV's by 2030. Might as well focus on using the ultra wealthy to pay for your research on flipping the whole product line to a new powertrain.
  16. U'mmmm Can you say "It looks Cheap!"
  17. Is the Apple Play and Google Play integration not supposed to fix this problem of sucky Nav's? Big problem that was created by the OEMs was they want to charge $500 for a Nav update. That DVD update is just so overpriced when you have your smartphone maps being updated all the time during the year. This has been my biggest complaint to GM about not using smart Nav's that update all the time over their satellite system. GM could have destroyed the competition by giving continuous updates to their auto nav systems over the OnStar network. They could have done this years before anyone thought of Google or Apple play. Yet that "We have to nickle and dime the consumer", is what has hurt more than helped them. @Drew Dowdell @William Maley Guys, can you expand on the Google / Apple Play system? Does it give you the smartphone maps on the built in car nav system? Or what is the details here? My mind is drawing a blank and I think this would be a great write up on the inner workings of this system.
  18. What is so confusing? I was getting my normal service done and checking out the lot, a guy had just traded in his prancing pony for a CTS-V. Old guy came in with his old Alante and decided he wanted a new cadillac, he loved the bright blue metallic ATS Coupe they had. So traded in his old coupe for a new one. Funny thing is he only drives about 1-2 times a year. Crazy when you have that much extra money I guess, but fun non the less.
  19. Italian HP traded in for American V power! Just traded in for a new ATS coupe, only 10,324 miles on the odometer.
  20. Valid point well taken, cheaper Petro rather than diesel would do wonders. Also changing how they tax engine size would help too. Overall, I think they could come up with a much better tax solution than they currently have. But step in right direction would be to tax diesel higher and lower on petro. I understand your desire to move slowly as people choose to buy hybrids / ev's.
  21. What is wrong with extreme and radical thinking? If it helps cool the planet and clean up the air, then why not change to a better way of transportation and help out the planet, help out those that have lung issues. Why not radically change to make things better? I was behind two semi's this morning and 4 school buses going off to pick up their kids. Amazing the amount of Diesel smell and pollution that was sent out when the light turned green. Why not remove this from the streets and have silent auto's that do not cause you to breath that toxic waste into your lungs? End result, is not all radical extreme thinking is bad, especially when it comes to the health of my fellow man and woman. Cleaner air for all.
  22. First Snow of the Season, Ski season is around the corner!
  23. Awesome job on the paint and the tie rods.
  24. Whether you like it or not, fossil fuel auto's and trucks are coming to the end of their life. I covered the MB Semi's and that Japan has medium duty EV trucks. This is a perfect solution for city delivery, no noise, no pollution in the face of people walking the streets. It will not end immediately, but even if they stop building fossil fuel auto's and trucks in 2030. they will still have them on the road for a while. Yet the future is coming and change is going to happen.
