Aren't they touting cubic footage? CC/6.5?? Yippee! I was sure all variants would come online at some point. - - - - - Local independant garage/gas station always has at least 1 vintage piece there. Last week it was an E-Type jag, red, in great shape, and a '63 bullet 'bird, medium blue, also very clean.

Have a list of cars imported INTO China from the US? Everything I saw via Google on the topic returned privately importing a car into China or the dozens of cars imported into the US FROM China. As far I I vaguely knew, all GM cars sold in China are built there via state-mandated partnerships.

Talk about an ultimate Toyota Commercial for the Failure of a Range Rover. Seems the Range Rover got stuck in flood waters and the Toyota Hilux just enters in and move on through with no thought to the Range Rover. 11yr old Dunks a New Reporter. I love it.

The research consortium made up of European and US auto companies presented their first prototype of a CCS or Combined Charging System standard 450 kW charging station Thursday Dec 13th 2018. This charging station is open to the public, it is in Jettingen-Scheppach, located near the A8 motorway between Ulm and Augsburg Germany. Porsche with it's 90 kWh battery pack was able to show off charging at 400 kW at the new station. This station allows a full battery recharge in 15 minutes or less. BMW also was there to test out and show off their system that can handle the full 450 kW charging. These new charging stations are 400V and 800V wired, so while current EVs could not use them, new EVs that can handle either voltage will be able to charge up from near empty in the same time an ICE vehicle would do at the pump. Both auto companies have acknowledged that their charging controllers are built to the same standard and can actually handle up to 920V charging. Recent additions to the 800V power club for recharging are GM and Toyota. More auto companies each month are signing onto this standard which brings recharging like ICE auto fill up of gas to reality. Porsche Press Release BMW Press Release

I was unaware, as apparently most people are, that the $2 bill is still in production (since it's reissue in '76). THought this related tidbit was intertesting : "A documented case of using two-dollar bills to send a message to a community is the case of Geneva Steel and the communities in the surrounding Utah County. In 1989, Geneva Steel paid its employee bonuses in $2 bills. When the bills began to appear in different places, people recognized the importance of the company to the local economy"

Love me some 389!

Christine, gettin' snuck up on by a B-59.

I miss my '85 Lincoln. As much crap as 80's American cars get, that one was an absolute tank. Lincoln got everything right one that one and then completely mucked it up for the replacement model.
