Just like LED light bulbs will last for 10,000 hours.

Not a fan of the car but the girl is definitely not average

'70 Electra :

Most modern vehicles don't need valve adjustments.

I don't know if today is National Coffee Day but I'm going by a Dunkin Donuts and they are proclaiming it National Dunkin Day. Buy something, get free coffee. For $ 3, I bought 2 of those steak-egg-cheese roll ups for breakfast and got a free medium coffee. Score!

Right! Awesome young woman with Awesome Hair. Loved the long hair of that era and still love it today. Wish more woman would take the time to have long curly hair. Course my wife has long hair, always thought it made the woman.

Pretty girl and a Buick in a very Ohio looking setting...

As we discussed recently...GREATTTTT choice. Love it. AWD and the 3.6L/8-speed in these is a pleasure, and feels even balsier, with the changes in gearing. All all the extra options and a great color combo, and check, check, check. Awesome. Even I approve?

Keep in mind M-B's impl is in an Actros semi truck...very different driving experience than a car or SUV. A very different use case.

Apparently my '40 has procedures to adjust the valves, tho I've not poked inside the motor and I don't hear any clattering. - - - - - I BESEECH anyone to tell me the benefit of this ("semi-autonomous driving"). It's FAR easier and more comfortable to actually grip something (the wheel) than hold your hands, flaoting, in mid-air. :

I'd steer clear of anything requiring valve adjustments...

Seems Ford is finding new savings on the Mustang Mach e and has slashed prices up to $3,000. https://electrek.co/2020/09/29/ford-slashes-mustang-mach-e-electric-car-prices/#more-149004 GM has Announced that they have started testing their Ultium Battery system that will power their next generation of EV's that are coming out starting with Cadillac and Hummer by GMC. The battery packs will last for 1 million miles. https://electrek.co/2020/09/29/gm-tests-ultium-battery-system-cruise-origin-autonomous-electric-vehicle/#more-148985 Tesla has announced that they have secured an order for 130 of the Tesla Semi Class 8 trucks from Walmart of Canada. Walmart has over $2 million dollars in deposits to Tesla for their Semi Truck orders that are now over $20 million on the books. Quote from Walmart of Canada: “Walmart Canada is now reserving a total of 130 Tesla Semi trucks, making it one of the largest reservations of electrified trucks in the country. The move comes on the heels of Walmart Canada announcing a major $3.5 billion investment over the next five years aimed to generate significant growth in the business and is aligned with Walmarts global goal to target zero emissions by 2040 announced at Climate Week earlier this month.” https://electrek.co/2020/09/29/tesla-tsla-secures-order-tesla-semi-electric-trucks-walmart/#more-148949

Didn't hurt my feelings at all.

She has a girl next door charm. Let's just define her as girl next door and someone I would like to get to know better.... Good ole Ford Truck....

Tesla Model Y appears to be plagued with poor sales, despite the company slapping 3 grand on the hoods a few months after their debut. GLOBAL sales thru June stand at 13,415, barely surpassing the Model X (12,461). Meanwhile, the Model 3 stands at 142,346. Chevy Bolt, globally, is at 11,496 thru June.

Big fan of chasers.....

I make the above post because we're having more rolling blackouts due to our electric infrastructure being inadequate every time it gets warm outside, and fire causing more shut-off to electricity. How the hell are people supposed to get around if they drive electric cars that they cannot charge?? Sorry, ranting. If I go any further it will only go into politics. But that's really what it comes down to is it not??? In order for that to be truly accurate the carriage would have to be in front of the horse.

Ugh; those power numbers.... - - - - - Meanwhile: Buick torque = 4-wheel wheelies ~

LOL blatantly clear why this is happening... BEFORE the car even hits the lots.
