bad-ass individual!

Now that's saying something. Let's not push the BS meter too far now blu! It's gettin' deep in here!? I wanted to see them throw him up against his totaled car and cuff him. He was totally cocky like they were all his buddies just BS'n with him. You could see the deputy in tan stand back a step or two with his hand guarding his firearm. Well trained officer right there, never know what the guy is on or will do when in that kind of predicament.

I find CNN pretty balanced and mainstream..MSNBC definitely leans left, while Faux News is fiction for the right wing crowd. I don't really watch much TV news, though occasionally I'll watch CBS News or the BBC.

Most everyone was calling it that in the beginning, TCB. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eZtCq1aj2g&feature=emb_logo

I do not believe nor do I find any singular network news to be wholly objective & balanced. One’s best bet is to watch multiple ones and balance them against each other. Because they’re all biased to a degree.

I must admit. It does look...(gag me please)...good But nah...let me get the vile out of my mouth again by posting awesome Firebird/Trans Ams.

^^^ Ummmm. BIG YUCK!!! That monstrosity is a kick in the head for me!!!! Let me correct it quickly!

CNN is my point of reference. I looked it up in Wiki and the article said that, while the perception is that they lean left, the reality is that they present a balanced viewpoint.

I'm talking about the perception of the virus rather than reality. Your imbecile president, with an Ivy League pedigree from Penn, hastily called it the Chinese virus.

Getting some loud storms tonight....

Me too actually. Or at the very least, cuff him, and while they are putting him the back seat of their Explorer, tell him to watch his head while slamming his head getting him in the car.

He shoulda got a coupla kicks to the head, in my opinion. The room coulda been completely black. The cops coulda kicked him in the back. And this song coulda been playin' in the background while each cop in the precinct got a go at him.

Could CT4 outlive the Malibu and be the cheapest GM sedan in America in a few years? I could see it being cancelled before a 5 year run.

The A/gla is Daimler's Buick line. In fact, damiler should split it and the C-class off into a separate brand. Just call it 'Benz' or even simply 'Daimler', cut all the prices by 20% and really go after toyoter. Stop playing around.

I believe it was, "New York City?!"..."Get a rope." ?

Update: "Crazy Rich Asian" Ben Chen gets cuffed. https://www.thedrive.com/news/32927/driver-annihilates-ultra-rare-gemballa-mirage-gt-in-manhattan-hit-and-run-rampage

Stop being so Canadian and apologizing! I, for one, am rarely offended. It's hard to separate humor from political correctness, so let it roll (laissez les bon temps rouler). So it goes like this: the virus started in China, so it was a Chinese virus it then got transported to Italy in 2 ways - 1 person from Wuhan repatriating to Italy (Lombardy, in the north) and 2 tourists from China staying near the Colosseum (Rome, in the center) * there rea also contact traces where there was some movement between Germany and Italy related to work and that caused it to spread * so, it is now an Italian virus and the EU hates them the south of the country got its first cases a month later - 1 person, a mother, returning to the east coast of Sicily after visiting the kids in Lombardy and 1 person in Palermo, on the northwest coast, who was vacationing from Lombardy so, to the south, it's a northern Italian virus ... and southern Italians think northern Italians are cold and structured while the northern Italians think the southern Italians are unruly and unfiltered then, somebody who may have been in China returns to the Seattle area and WA state is at the center of the spotlight so, in the U.S., it's a Pacific Northwest virus the West Coast puts a lid of sorts on it, but cases in tri-state NYC skyrocket so, in the U.S., it's now a New York virus and, to the world, it's now an American virus - - - - - To put some humor into this, I can only think of the commercial for Pace picante sauce. Some dude is getting food in what might be a diner in Texas and gets a hot sauce that looks odd. They are probably thinking it's Tex-Mex or from across the border. Then, together, they examine the label on the Pace picante sauce and it comes from a company headquartered in New York. So, in unison, they exclaim with a twang: "New York City?!?" You know some rednecks in the U.S. are thinking that exact same thing right now.

Not offended. Somewhat true for any race right now really, but yes if Chinese and visiting from there RUN FOREST RUN!!! But he was DWA and caught DWI. First question from police..."do you have a fever sir?!"

Seems Rivian pushed production back into 2021: https://autos.yahoo.com/rivian-production-launch-pushed-back-191200000.html Very cool.

Non-sequitor. Cadillac is not a singular, stand-alone corporation, but 'one knife in the drawer'. BMW/MB/Audi have to reach way downmarket to keep the factories humming. A8/A7 sales aren't doing it anymore. And entry-level cars do not 'get people in the brand who then move up'; that's a disproven myth.

Multiple sources is best. All sources have a certain level of bias leaning one way or other. And..there is an element of truth in ALL! And there is an element of deceit in all...to fit ones agenda. That is why one has to listen to multiple sources because one could filter the bullshyte better. But one has to be willing to not be biased himself when listening to the media. One has to be willing to be open and when one has a certain point of view and then realizes that his point of view may be wrong in any way, one must have the strength to change his world view...and THAT therein lies the difficulty of filtering out the bulllshyte. Because one may be willing to believe the bullshyte and to continue on with the falsehoods rather than the reality of it all...

Greek Orthodox priest in that...which reminds me....

Or we could say it's like having the blues, but then it would be confused with depression. I believe he has a degree. He dumbs down his presentation to connect with everyday blue collar folks. He started out at Fordham and transferred to Penn to finish. Since his father built out one of the largest and nicest developments in Queens NY (Jamaica Estates) back in the day, his dad's money could have kept him in, with the university sort of buying in to push him through with B-/C+ grades. If he doesn't want to show transcripts, it's possibly because his grades aren't much to look at. It's okay. When I was a kid, I would have thought the same thing, let alone even think about either of these schools. On the East Coast, I only gave some thought to Georgetown because it looked cool in "The Exorcist," but I doubt I would have gotten in. Also, up until about the late 90s, I always assumed your McGill was private because of its WASPy sounding name and because it didn't have the Univ. of (insert place) names given to most other major public Canadian universities.

I just googled both to inform myself better. U of Penn is Ivy League. DUH Penn State is public. I shoulda known better.

No, the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Known as 'Penn'. Never been an Aztek fan, but that is maybe the slickest looking one I've seen..rather cool, IMO.

I didnt know he was imprisoned let alone finish his degree while locked up? Oopsies. My bad. Penn State... Not the state pen. Although we all know he deserves 10-15 in solitary confinement...with a straight jacket, possibly? Fatso actually played basketball? How in the hell did he move on the court, he rolled? Joking aside, I thought he played football. And I thought he was quite good at it too.

Yeah...I didnt understand that. The car's front end was obliterated. It was blatant that the car was in an accident. I mean, the car had hit something...and it was clear that it was a hit and run... Joking aside, I was expecting the cops to pull out their guns telling him to put his hands up and slowly get out of his car. At hte very least, when he was approaching them, I was expecting the guns to come out. The dude, like you said, cockily got out, stumbled because he was still high and slowly moseyed on over to talk to the cops... Like...WTF was that? Maybe NYC cops are trained differently than the LAPD? Maybe I have seen toooo many LAPD cop related bang bang stories? But I though NYC cops were just as bad ass as their LAPD counterparts. My first visit to NYC, we were about 5-6 Greek Boys from Montreal visiting. In 1991. We were right in front of Macy's door. We were there about 5 minutes trying to decide what to do next, whether to go inside and buy something just to say we bought something at Macy's or just to continue on walking... All of a sudden, we heard two loud and husky voices to get the PHOQUE OUT!!! We were shocked. We didnt know where and who it came from. Then in no time, we saw 2 huge bodybuilder cops, 6'4" at least 260 lbs worth of muscle each and they were continuing to swear at us to get the phoque out of the door way and to stop loitering. We apologized and we said we would comply as we all shat our pants but they noticed our English wasnt local. They in turn apologized and asked us where we are from. We said Montreal and they told us to enjoy their city... But my story about NYC cops is the complete opposite of what transpired with that accident...

Much more lasting value in the Ford. Earns its keep and then some, over a long life.

@trinacriabob I remember that commercial! I LOOOOVED that commercial. Yes...let the good times roll. In a luxury vehicle of your choice. Be it a majestic Kings Ranch F250 or a lowly Mercedes Benz E250... As funny as a European Mercedes taxi cab being a luxury car in North America.

Pure comedy gold, right there...

Mistakes are always made, especially when the recipient does not know a thing about the car in question. C4C was probably not a good idea, especially given that the financial system was the source and cause of the last recession. Shuttering bad banks would have corrected more issues with less harm to the larger economy.

Right: the CT4 & XT4 are wrong for Cadillac- said it before here. Especially the CT4- too close to CT5. Cadillac is not a full-spectrum brand and does not have try to be. Never was in the past.

Like how Cadillac went low end with the CT4, XT4 and CT5, 33, 35 and 37k to compete with Camry, RAV4 and Avalon.

So Mercedes best selling models were their absolute cheapest cars. Go figure. That is the result of Buick prices to compete with the lower end market that Cadillac doesn’t have to worry about. That’s was Buick is for. See how your logic is flawed here?

Ah, that late 90's Riviera Coupe...she was definitely a looker. Both were way ahead of their time and way outside the box.

That is just the Neighbors sound system.

Tesla Model Y Deep Dive Reveals A Much Better Engineered Car Than The Model 3 Jalopnik Pretty cool summary with pictures. It seems Tesla learned their lesson from previous criticism of Model 3 and made some improvement.

Yeah...I saw that with Jay and I was afraid for him. I love Jay. Not as a late night TV host. I only liked him in that gig. But as a car ambassador, he is top notch. I do not know why he wasnt dragged to his feet, kicked a coupla times in the head and then cuffed. Maybe they didnt want to get too close to him....he is of the Asian Persuasion and NYC has been hit by hard by the Chinese Virus, um...Wuhan, um... Covid 19. Yeah. Covid 19 Novel virus. yeah. (a little bit of dark, racist humour on my side...but not really meant as a joke either...) (Is that wrong of me?) (Im sorry if I have offended anybody) (I truly am sorry...)

Saw this write-up and vid the other day. Pretty insane-ly bad@ss. Definitely needs some traction bars or larger overload springs, you can watch significant axle wrap in the rear when at peak output on the dyno from the fire breather LT4.

I am fine with their lineup and see no need for anything below the XT4. Buick serves the section below that.

Of course their focus is on Europe and China: they are from Europe and China is now the world's biggest auto market. VW/Audi, MB and BMW could drop the US market like a bad habit and it would affect them very little.

Previous president did the exact same thing- no transcripts, no thesis’s, no high school records- all permanently sealed. WRT calling COVID-19 something, see my link from the prior page. The above are 2 apparent examples of watching only 1 network news source.

His father probably paid someone to take his tests for him. Corruption and cheating have been an integral part of his persona for decades, not that his idiotic base cares (or are capable of understanding the problem w/ having a corrupt, vile President).

If ya get Covid-19 and I honestly hope not, we can call it the blu-virus! I doubt Idiot45 has an actual degree. No one is willing to show his school transcripts and there is no evidence he actually graduated. The only thing he did was play basketball and get a fake Bone Spur note to avoid serving his country. Yes he is an Idiot for calling it the Chinese Virus, just showing his racist boomer roots.

Not hasty at all. It's the truth. Zip it.

Got them here also last night...the evening was great, up to 72 in Cleveland yesterday..sat on the patio until 11 enjoying the weather, some adult beverages and music. Then went to bed and heavy thunderstorms and wind...some branches down in the yard this morning. Read there are tornado sightings to the south and west of here..

Cadillac for sure could use an XT3. Genesis really should have GV60 before they do GV90.

Worldwide the Mercedes A/GLA outsold the entire Cadillac brand last year. I would say Cadillac could use an XT3. Cadillac’s largest market is China, a place loaded with displacement taxes and booming with small vehicle sales. Hence why Genesis needs a GV60 more than a GV90.

So, by your logic, if I travel to, say, Ethiopia, I would become Ethiopian? Not how things work, I'm afraid.
