Battery life has been a sore point with iPhones for me in the past. My last (iPhone 6s) lasted 3 years. I'm almost a year into my 7. Back before I switched to iPhones I had a couple Motorola Droids and Motorola Razr..(back in the pre-smart phone era I had several Motorolas--Star Tac, V60, etc). I generally liked the Motorolas but the flakiness once they got past a year old or so did them in for me.

I've been wanting to do that for years...maybe this summer. Been to Pittsburgh many times, but haven't explored the surrounding area much.

I see no problem with speed limiting...outside of the autobahn and race tracks, there aren't any real world use cases where one would or need to go much past 85..

Agreed on all points. I like the consistency of Apple products... I have no interest in customizing a phone--- I'm not a teenager. I like technology that is solid and predictable. It is funny, thinking about customizing your software environment..whether a computer or phone. I remember at one time when I was young and crazy, I actually cared about such stuff--setting up my laptop, worrying about Linux distributions and packages, setups, endless minutae, etc. Now that I'm old, cynical and burned out.. I just don't care..thats why I stick w/ Apple products--they just work and you don't have to f*ck around.. I like technology that works well out of the box and doesn't require fiddling. I really can't imagine life without a smart phone...so convenient having a little computer with me at all times. I remember back in the day when I first got a cell phone 20+ years ago...it only did calls, no email or internet..seems so quaint and old-fashioned.

My iPhone 6s had 64gb and I filled it up. My iPhone 7 has 128gb and so far I've only put 50.3GB on it. Most of that usage is probably the 7000+ photos synched from iCloud and my music and podcasts. Storage can never be enough.

Nice...'56 Plymouth I think...

Nice... a place in NY I'd like to visit again is Letchworth State Park and the Gennessee River in Wyoming County, NY (pic below).. I visited there 20 years ago when I was at a wedding in the Buffalo area. I was up in Western NY last year to Dunkirk, saw the lighthouse and some beaches...a short drive from Cleveland. Want to go to Chautauqua Lake and Niagara Falls this summer.

Yeah...

Well, it is the most loaded and has chrome. The RS has too much black trim, IMO.

I like the Mopar C-body fuselage styling era.....here are a couple more...the Dodge and the mega beast Imperial.

Ah...the 1985 GMC Denali...had it existed w/ 50s inspired trim.

Speaking of vintage Cadillacs, I recently watched a TV show from a few years ago set in Miami Beach in 1958-1960, 'Magic City'...had a bunch of neat cars..the lead character drove a white '58 Eldorado convertible and then a white '59 Cadillac..the main villain was chauffeured a black '58 Fleetwood Sixty Special 4dr ht. Lots of late 50s eye candy cars for various characters and background scenes..

Yeah, that was one year only quarter panel for the Eldorado, I believe? Regular '64 Cadillac convertibles still had skirts.

Yeah, I hate fender skirts on vehicles that didn't come with them..but the guy was in his 80s so who knows...at least he didn't go full JC Whitney on it.

Can't recall when I last saw a 70s Subie..those were weird looking...I vaguely remember seeing a few early wagons in Colorado in the oughts...and they were white or beige. I don't recall ever seeing the 2dr hardtop body style.

Both were really sharp. The GP would have looked better with whitewalls and 8-lug Pontiac wheels, IMO. Did you see the pics of the one owner 63 Bonneville?

The Skylark was a 72 IIRC. Parked near the gold ‘70 LeMans Sport convertible. I really liked the 67 LeSabre coupe and ‘69 Electra convertible. The blue Charger was a V8 R/T. It’s funny, the gray plastic engine cover on the smaller Hemi doesn’t look like it’s changed much from the ‘06 Charger R/T. When I went last year I didn’t go in the classic car section...didn’t realize it was there last year.

After seeing and sitting in the Blazer, it does look better in person than in photos. Not for me, though. And $48k for a 2wd Premier trim seemed high IMO. The Edge ST looked nice, but the interior didn't impress. Saw a Stelvio at the show also, too many people in line to get inside, but it looked cramped.
