The Firebird pic went away from this website, I found it again so I could re-post it. Its a beautiful picture. Beautiful scene. Beautiful car. But just in case it goes away again, I will find another convertible Firebird to post to compensate and for us to enjoy another beautiful car that is the 1st gen Firebird.

Me too brotha! Me too!!!

Talk about Oldsmobile and their ahead of time designs. Profile concept from the year 2000. GM did that plastic grill thing during those times. Being the late '80s early 1990s.

Montreal also has a not so quite similar road. But a deadly one. A small tunnel. It is called 'tunnel de la mort' in French. Tunnel of death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_de_la_mort The wiki page doesnt do enough to define how dangerous it is. It is called tunnel of death because there has been MULTIPLE deadly car crashes there. Even BEFORE 1992. It has always had the nickname as far as I can remember. As far back as even the late 1970s... Both intersections have this tunnel thing going on that caused blind spots and drivers could not see the traffic lights properly so on both intersections, both ways, drivers couldnt see the red light to stop and just burned the red light causing deadly collisions. Only one set of tunnels have been demolished in the ealry 2000s. Both tunnels should have been demolished but nothing has happened yet. To add more danger to this shytty tunnel, the sidewalk is too small for pedastrians but because the bridge itself belongs to different railway companies, nothing is happening. The news report is condemning the tunnel, the railway companies and the city by shaming them about the dangers, If you watch the video, even if you dont understand, there are several images where one could see how dangerous it is, especially in the winter. There is a public voice, thanx in part to journalism like this to change this intersection. Report made in 2019... The entire road will eventually be reconfigured. Soon... https://ici.radio-canada.ca/info/videos/media-8034316/renover-tunnel-mort#:~:text=Surnommé le « Tunnel de la,'empruntent%2C selon des citoyens. I have used this road countless of times with my parents and when I got my license and drove for myself. I never had an issue. But it is dangerous.

Grosse Corvette, petite quéquette

All nonsense, useless tacky add-ons for boy-racer image that does NOTHING especially on CUVs. Electric CUVs. If the Chevy CUV SS had those vents be functional to let the air flow through for less drag for more efficiency of some sort, then I wouldnt be so critical and in agreement with you. But...its plastic boy-racer overkill. Like like you said, cleaner, simpler designs just means less is more!!! The Tesla Model 3 and Y are frumpy. Too frumpy. Simple and clean but way too frumpy. And that has dated the design quite fast since other OEMs have decided to join the EV club. But....the Model S looks good to this day. It has aged and its loooong in the tooth ONLY because its OVER a decade old now. But the Model S is a very clean design. Its sleek and it has looked great all this time BECAUSE its a clean no nonsense design.

100% in agreement!!!

Looks like a 'Like A Rock' photoshoot!!! Very nice! (LOVE the guitar solo BTW!!!) (One of my all time favorite solos...)

Thanx for the effort Drew! Whatever it may be, blame it on the rain.

none are. lol. nothing to do with your long day at work. You cant think of any 'cause there arent any!!! lol. We agree 100% there!!! ENJOY my friend!!! You deserve it. 1. long day at work 2. having to endure ME on the internet. LOL. Good Night see ya tomorrow!

no. stop reaching.

I never told you to buy those. But...that is STILL not a CUV... THAT is still a fun, joyfilled vehicle. And its probably got the LEAST horsepower and is slower than the slowest car I posted... And... THAT is eons away from what an Encore represents... In essence, you agree with me.

I NEVER once mentioned PERFORMANCE... NONE of the vehicles I posted are of the fast variety. ALL are of the econocar variety. ALL of those vehicles I posted, other than the Toyota GT-S, every single one of them...were the SLOWEST of ANY car during that time... You dont need a CUV to go hiking. You dont need a CUV to play sports. I rented a Daewoo Matiz in 2001 (google it) and it went EVERYWHERE I asked of it on the island of where my mom came from in Greece. All donkey trails going up mountian sides, parking it and hiking up to other parts where NO car can go. With a 1.4 liter 75 HP engine I think.... The thing was a blast. The Matiz was NOT a CUV... It was a hatchback, but it wasnt a CUV... And it was spacious. I bet even YOU could have fit inside it... The joy of living statement ha nothing to do about what one does to pass his time. The joy of living statement simply means, the North American has let corporations dictate to him what he needs to buy. Therefore he gave up his choices and let corporate execs decide what for him. His free will he gave up. And the joy of living is having free will... I actually made philosophical point. LOL Point very well made and taken!!!

@David Yet...of all your personal vehicles you just posted...NONE are CUVs!!! NOT the Trailblazer SS. NOT the Yukon. NOT the 'Slade. The ONE criteria you have, which is to fit, not ONE CUV past or present that you could fit in. Of ALL the econocars I posted....NONE are performance cars...

No argument there, that is for sure! Our roads are clogged up with traffic. Some parts of the US and in Canada, true for Montreal, the roads are disgustingly bad full of cracks and pot holes. Dangerous when driving spiritedly let alone quickly. You mention it later on: the driving IQ and skills is not just lacking, its NON-EXISTENT! But regarding this quote: I wasnt really talking about a high-powered coupe. But this was a also a Corolla once upon a time ago. Sure it was more peppy than a regular (4 door or regular coupe) Corolla, but it sure wasnt a Trans Am or Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo of the era either. There was also this and another version and this And even this. My girlfriend at the time had one. Manual. She taught me to drive manual in that car. And its weird. We want the CUV to carry friends and stuff, but back in the day, with smaller cars and many many MORE friends, we found ways to fit in and go where we needed to go with these small econo cars. Today, the youth, nor the slightly more older folk, drive CUVs, but the CUVs are almost always EMPTY... Like I said, North Americans were bamboozled and were oversold on the need for a CUV. Its too bad. Because cars, although slower, a LOT slower, were much much more fun back in the day. And when I mean fun, I mean fun in many many ways. Different styles. A plethora of colours.... The modern CUV is just so...so...common. Not only common by the sheer numbers, but common as there is NO diversity in styling.
