Rumorpile: Volkswagen Puts Phaeton Redesign On Backburner

Random thoughts: In looking at 270 to Win, nothing has changed since 4 years ago - the states are shaded the same way and the swing states are also the same - MI, WI, PA, GA, AZ, and NV.  This is and isn't about politics since I'm a huge geography and demographics buff. - - - I hate being in places that don't recycle.   - - - I was next to a late model Mazda 6 last night.  While I hate its dash and its big upright touch screen, I feel that this sedan nailed the exterior looks department at its time better than did the Camry, Altima, Accord ... and probably even the Malibu and the Fusion. - - - How do you deal with someone who texts in dribbles a good part of the day  ... on many days?  I might text someone I know once every week to 2 weeks.  And it has some critical mass to it.  Actually, if you have a lengthy phone conversation, then you don't need to communicate with a person for a long time, so it's more efficient.  Since this individual does not like the voice aspect of the phone, this is what I have to deal with.  I want to fix this, but I don't want to be rude. - - - I feel that, with each passing day and with all the villains around, I/(we) am/(are) living in a bad 007 movie.

Beautiful vehicles! I'm not sure that you've improved things on the reliability side, but at least the miles are a lot lower and it will ride nicer than the G? Opt for the extended warranty again.

Good morning ... Clearly I jest. Does this elation come from witnessing the eclipse?

Ah, yes..the joy of taxes...mine were more complex than usual this year w/ the sale of a house, purchase of a house, and lots of taxable RSU income.   But capital gains worked in my favor so I actually got small fed and state refunds, but owed regional tax. 

Was driving so I could not snap a picture, but the local Kia dealership is clearly getting a ton of new EVs as two trucks went by, one with EV9's and the other with EV6's.
