I like that color. There was one at the Cleveland Auto Show on display in this color. The Challenger looks great in this color also...would love to see a GC in this color.

It's pretty clear Trump and the resource units that work for him have no comprehension of how modern global companies work.- 25 replies

I tried Google image search and the closest match it said was a C-47 Globemaster, but it doesn't look like one of those to me.

Hot weather also can have an impact, don't know about the Bolt, but I remember reading how the 1st gen Leaf suffered in the fecal Arizona summers, with range dropping sharply during weeks of 110+ degree horror...

Chevrolet News:Spying: 2020 Chevrolet Suburban Is Hiding Something
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in Chevrolet
IRS allows for a lower rear frame and lower rear floor--more legroom for 3rd row passengers, lower cargo area floor. Compare the Expedition vs the GM full sizers. -
There was some buzz a while back about a 2 seat Maserati sports car under development, with an EV version...I could see maybe a new platform being developed with a couple of models at a couple brands. I could see the V8 being part of a next gen replacement for the Hemi with a variety of applications. Or maybe this is just more random 'future product' stories that go nowhere from Sergio & co...

Anyone knowledgable about strange aircraft? Big bulgy gray plane w/ at least 3 engines incl. one on the tail (?). Looks like the wings have been clipped. My sister took this pic at Schipol Airport in Amsterdam yesterday.

Yes, a tall car, not a truck. CUVs are car-based. If it's got a FWD/AWD platform w/ a transverse engine, it's not a truck or an SUV.
-
No idea..IIRC, weren't the PT Cruiser and HHR also classified as 'trucks'? Makes no sense, it's just a subcompact hatchback..maybe a little taller than the Spark or Sonic, but the same form factor..not that different from the Trax, which is a short, tall hatchback...

^ Yum...now there is a business opportunity...a truck driving around neighborhoods in the morning peddling coffee and donuts..

So, my take on the Diesel "Scandal"
Robert Hall replied to Zane Wylder's topic in Electric Vehicles and Alternative Fuels
At least you don't need to use the A/C 8-9 months a year like I used to do in that desert place...(and of course the A/C failed on more than 1 car while living there). -
This is particularly ironic and sad, considering BMW's past image as driver's cars and 'The Ultimate Driving Machine' marketing tagline.

Some people like them...I have no interest in anything that small.

Stuff comes from various locations..just the nature of business..there is always unpleasant aspects to manufacturing, such is life. most consumer electronics run on LI batteries; can't live like its 1699 like the Amish. Sounds like an artificial substitute for cobalt needs to be created. Maybe something that can be 3D printed en masse..

Subaru News: Subaru Still Sees Traditional Cars As Important
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in Subaru
Yeah, just an Impreza hatchback w/ crossover appearance.. -
Model S is a hatchback. Model 3 is inexplicably trunked despite the shape. I like hatchbacks when they are serious and upright like the Golf, and sleek like the Panamera, A7 or Regal. Bolt just looks lumpen and goofy, like an oversized Spark or Sonic. The 2nd gen Leaf copied it's styling.

Well, there are definitely a lot fewer Cobalts on the road now than there were 10 years ago.

I've bought the Amazon Basics ones from Amazon with no problems..in general, the cables, (phone charging cables, etc) from Amazon's in house store brand (Amazon Basics) have been fine in my experience. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Extension-Cable-Male-Female/dp/B00NH136GE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1527033764&sr=8-3&keywords=usb+2.0+extension+cord

Chevrolet News:Chevrolet Drops A New Turbo-Four Into 2019 Silverado
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in Chevrolet
Checked the dimensions w/ my 1967 garage. The door opening is 7 feet (84 inches), the lowest point of the ceiling is also 84 inches (the fluorescent lights hang down a few inches). Interesting in that the ceiling is stepped with the motor and track being recessed relative to the forward lower ceiling. I've been able to back my Jeep in and not hit anything, though I usually pull in. Width is the big issue w/ the garage. -
Must have been really weird back then when each division had their own line of V8s, often w/ the same displacement. I grew up in the Ford world where regardless of it being a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury, it was a Ford engine (my folks had a bunch from each brand over the years as I grew up). I've heard of DIYers 3d printing at home various plastic interior trim pieces for their cars, but not mechanical dirty bits...

Did a bit of reading on the X-cars..talk about identity confusion...the X-body Skylark was available during the '75-79 generation with a Pontiac 301, Chevy 305, Chevy 350 and Buick 350. Buick V6 was the only 6. Similarly, the X-body Olds Omega was available w/ the Chevy 250 inline 6, Buick V6, Olds 260 and 350, and Chevy 350.

My local Jeep store has 23 new '18 Wranglers in stock.. Sport S trim ranges from 34,8xx to 44,4xxx. Sahara trim ranges from $41,2xxx to 46,5xxx. All 4drs, no Rubicons.
-
I think it was the Chevy V8s in Olds 88s that they got sued over.
-
Not to be pedantic, but that 350 was an Oldsmobile engine I've read. (In the Seville)

Random doggo pics for today. Sitting at a light on the way home from the groomers this afternoon after getting her summer 'do. Raine--a terrier mix of some sort--my youngest dog at 4 years..she is very high energy.
