True many young adults and teens are never shown how to take pride in any job, but if the manager of the place is properly mentored to have pride and they instill this in each of their workers then pride should show in the end result. Fast food work should never be a life career. Minimum wage was NEVER MEANT to be a Living wage. It was meant to give small profit margin businesses a way to hire young no experience folks and let them earn some coin while living at home with their parents and gain some work experience. Sadly the death of chain businesses is due to poor leadership, mentoring and the lack of instilling pride in their employees in every job they do. Pride should never be ignored in the work anyone ever does.

Maybe FCA will bring back Hudson, with advanced aerodynamic body construction, safety & strength, and proprietary engineering, excellent handling and a new injected aluminum straight six.

Found this photo of a '77 on line. The Malibu Classic could sport the stacked rectangular lamps more so than the Monte Carlo could. Those wheel covers were great, and shared with the Impala/Caprice of the same year. They often seemed to be missing on these cars - theft. Anymore, they are tough to find. That's the Central California coast, with the historic Bixby Bridge in the distance. So many car ads have been sited here.

Base car does 60-0 in 97 feet- that's much better than the AMGGTTTGSG (100-105'). Huracan does 104'. Motor Trend tested the '14 Stingray doing 60-0 in 90 feet. C7 Z06 does 1.19 lateral G- that's second only to the Porsche GT3 and better than the lambo AND DaimlerGGGT3. The Camaro beats those 2. LalaFerrari does 1.16. Porsche GT3 does 1.12. You can sit there with your arms crossed and your lower lip out, frowning & grumbling that 'the Corvette ain't no supercar', all day long, but you're still wrong. They HAVE the chassis, they HAVE the brakes, they HAVE the suspension, and they've only shown you the lowest spec versions of the C8 so far. And higher performance variants are coming which will improve upon these class leading numbers even more so.

I would be shocked if that were true.

unplug your mouse, wait about one minute, and then replug it in. that should work for you.

Nah too quiet, too uninvolving to drive, too soulless, too impractical for unlimited use. All the same stuff as ever.

I answered that multiple times already. The MB makes up time on the straights for being heavier/slower in the corners. And I repeat : a mere 4 seconds over 13 miles. You really think that's an opportunity to brag? I mean- why is it so much slower than the old C7 ZR1?? Of course you don't, but why not? When it was FE, the C7 was only 21 secs behind the huracan after 13 miles. Huge in a racing event, but the Lambo has 602 HP, not 495. Drop the Lambo to 495 HP and see the lap time balloon. You always looks at these weird, non-scenarios in a twisted manner. A car's platform & powertrain do not care how many doors it has. Look to your favored AMGGTGTGTGT- how does DaimlerMBbenZ do it? Horsepower, mostly. Pile it on and go faster. Corvette is at 495, has already brought 755, the rumor mill says 900 for the C8. 900 and ME is going to drop it below 7.00 secs. Then what??

Yup but only with a snarly 4 and a stick. EV would be too boring.

Cute, in a pug dog sort of way, but way overpriced, IMO. 0-60 in 28 seconds !!

Solid State Battery Break through by Samsung. Half the size of traditional batteries with 500 mile range and guaranteed 1,000 times recharge cycle with no cell death. https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-presents-groundbreaking-all-solid-state-battery-technology-to-nature-energy https://techxplore.com/news/2020-03-groundbreaking-all-solid-state-battery-technology.html March 9th, SAIT (Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology) and SRJ (Samsung R&D Institute Japan) presented their findings on long lasting all solid state batteries to Nature Energy, the world's leading scientific journal. By having such safe solid state batteries that can handle repeated charging at half the size but considerable density of power you remove range anxiety all-together and bring about battery packs that can go way beyond 100,000 miles. This brings up the million mile battery pack desire Tesla and others have talked about. Samsung believes they will have this battery pack in production, in auto's as well as all types of electronics by mid 2020's. Graphic to show the differences between today's Lithium-Ion battery and solid state.

It is always a shock to learn of places that still have poverty average income. WOW? Thank you Balthazar for sharing this.

I noticed it was a Wendy's burger too with the square patties I like the Spicy Chicken sandwich myself +1+1+1+1+1 Couldn't have said it better myself David!!

Fast food employees are the least likely to take pride in their prep. I mean; why would they?

Internet sez MBAMGGTS63QRXT does 0-60 in 3.1 sec, also says C8 Corvette does it in 2.8. 0-60 in 2.8 seconds covers what- 100 feet? 125 feet? (don't know offhand). Nurburgring is 13 MILES long and the MBAMGGTS63QRXT has nearly 150 more HP (yet only was 4 seconds quicker... over 13 MILES). Unplug & think. - - - - - As to the C8 : the 755-HP C7 ZR1 did 0-60 in 3.0 sec, and the C8 with 495-HP does it in 2.8. Expect collossal performance gains once a C8 ZR1 appears. - - - - - MBAMGGTS63ZR2 does 60-0 in 105 ft, C8 does it in 97. So the MB does NOT have better braking (Or it may, but it weighs as much as a full-size pickup, so they're overpowered.)

IMO, if on Monday morning there was an EV version of every model of IC vehicle, within -say- 7% of MSRP, that in 5 years it might hit 15% of the market. Maybe. But I believe it would level off around there for at least the next 15. What OEMs are thinking by declaring they're going 100% EV in 4 years is beyond me- it shows a distinct lack of market awareness.

The Corvette was ALWAYS about performance... The Corvette ALWAYS spanked Porsche and Ferrari and then Porsche and Ferrari came back with models to counter the Vette and so forth and so forth... The Z-51 package is the most BASIC track package on a Corvette. Its the LOW LEVEL trim track package of Corvettes. Z51 is what you start off with. Then Chevy introduces the Z06 which is THE track package that REALLY sets records. Then there is the top Vette that gets more power and slightly better traction to cope with that power as compared to the Z06 making the top top Corvette the ULTIMATE in top speed, quickness and track. 45 seconds on the new mid engined C8 Z06 that will get better aero and down force and more power will be nothing for Corvette engineers to accomplish. Actually, when they were testing the BASE Stingray, they BENCHMARKED the 911 for track duty. And you know this... YOU have seen the pictures. What 911 is that anyway? Is that a special track oriented 911 I see in that pic testing along with that camo C8 before it was even revealed to the world that that is the new mid-engined Corvette? And...it does NOT stop there... As YOU know...the Corvette actually does go...racing... It had a solid start at Daytona Is that another Porsche behind the C8 racing there? Wow...Im shocked! (sarcasm)

I got to correct me opinion. By NO means Im saying that profits shouldnt be made when restoring a car. Its a BUSINESS. As it should be. But...like in the food industry or any other industry, money has to be made...but not at the expense of the customer in terms of safety. And...like in the food industry...it has to be a labour of love. Why? Well...cars...and food (in a restaurant)....is an art. It has to be appreciated by the end user. Yes...even in a fast food joint No labour of love there and a hamburger like that...gives MY profession a bad name. How many times do I hear anywhere that fast food is garbage???!!! Well...a hamburger like that...who am I to argue???!!! Same thing with the classic auto restoration business. Ill repeat my saying: "One should do it NOT for the money, but for the love of the automobile" And if done right with lots of love...the money WILL be there!!! Because the QUALITY of the work and the BEAUTY of the automobile will shine through and the buyer will view his purchase like he sees...art.

wiki says the MBAMGGTS63 is 4340-4500 lbs. But I agree : mercedees are all too fat. Of course- Nurburgring is 'water cooler talk' - akin to fantasy football. But I'd certainly wait to see what the higher-up C8s bring if it's important to you. You don't seriously think the Corvette team is done at 495 HP, do you??

If they can make an Equinox sized EV for $30-35k that performs the same as an Equinox (which should be easy since it only has 185 hp or so), then it won't be so gloomy. If they can put affordable EV's out there that are good, Mary will save the company. If they make an Equinox EV (for lack of a better name) and it is $50k, then it is gloomy.

Hudson Hornet Hollywood w/ Twin-H Power. Fiddy-fo. Gonna see if I can find the owner...

@ocnblu I think you might have accidentally turned on the double click as a single click. This can happen same with keyboard where if you hold down a single key, it thinks you want multiple and sets it up as a hot key which can cause all kinds of weird issues on the keyboard. Try this: How to change mouse from double-click to single-click in Windows 10 Step 1: Open the File Explorer Options. To do that, first, open Control Panel , choose to view by Small icons and then click the File Explorer Options link. Step 2: On the File Explorer Options window, select the General tab, select the "Single-click to open an item (point to select)" radio button, and then click Apply followed by OK.

Uh you are missing the point that there is no strength in EV sales in the USA. Side by side on the lot at price parity and the gas version will sell, the EV will rot.
