Would love a Charger, but they like to steal them around here... ? Just got the notice of 1 year left on the lease of my Equinox. Besides the annoying stop/start, it has been a great little CUV. Still quite low in the mileage though! I’m thinking of buying it after the lease anyways for two reasons: 1- the buyout is pretty low, thanks to an extra discount, and being a lower trim level (LS) 2- I have a 12 year old who will be driving not too far down the road, and it won’t hurt to have an extra car around to drive. Who knows, maybe it ends up as his car.... ?

Other companies like Ford and GM are working on the lower priced market. Lucid can price their cars as high as they want, for that rich crowd that doesn't care so much about the median price. Also, considering that the median price keeps going up, it may be moot to harp on about EV prices right now anyway. As long as there are $30K three cylinder cars for sale (looking at you "top of the line" Trailblazer), I'm not going to split hairs over EV prices being what they are.

Randomness on a snowy day---whilst eating lunch, I was reading the local police blotter and their was a description of an incident at a local hotel parking lot that said 'shits were fired'... I had a mental image of hooligans flinging poo in a parking lot..

The Challenger is the one most likely i would buy also.. I like the Charger and 300, but don't need another 4dr---the GC fulfills the comfy sedan role quite well. A Challenger with a V8 and a manual definitely would be what I would go for, preferably in F8 green. Not enough garage space right now, though.

B-17 Wee Willy after being hit.... Plane had 128 missions under her belt when she got hit... Scale model of USS Louisiana... Cadillac! Cadillac, once more...

Legal tender is legal tender; it's all good. But the circa $75K tier is not the mainstream segment of the market. In order for IC bans to possibly work, there needs to be a wide selection at the median vehicle price.... or HALF that number.

Listened to the Wheel Bearings podcast today, they had a discussion about the Mach E and an interview w/ the Ford exec that oversaw it...sounds like it has the potential to be a very good product...one thing they stressed is they can't afford a botched launch and quality gaffes like the Explorer has had...

I would rather have the Chrysler 300 personally. The Charger screams "Race ME". I prefer a little more elegance and stealth.

But the Accountants will tell you that no one wants to PAY for it unless GM/Ford can charge MORE for common cars and CUVs! I also believe it to be a leadership and culture problem too.

Thanks for letting me post up a bunbch fo cars...cars make me happy...crappy rainy day here in Columbus...world could use some happiness.

55 Chevy is still one of my favorite automotive designs ever.

Ducati scrambler....I really like this.

Obvious one off....

Lincoln... Yeah....nothing LR seems to run worth a shit once it is a few years old. Packard RV... Look at the plate on the Mustang.

I saw that Range Rover pic posted in a FB Jeep group today, thought it was funny since most of that generation of RR are probably off the road now w/ engine failure...the 00s RRs were notoriously unreliable...

Stranger things have happened... Ranger doing it's thing....not mine... New Zealand Pontiac Ventura bubble top. The class struggle is real....

I am more than content with the Ranger. I want something that will go off road, a Jeep or a motorcycle or something. How NOT to get a pig to market... Given Michigan roads, a Surplus US military Tank and or a Mercedees Unimog might be a better choice.

And? Rich peoples money ain't no good?

While I still not crazy that they called Mach E a Mustang, it grows on me and it looks like it has good potential. Definitely looks more attractive than Model Y by far. I actually see me getting one as a daily in about 5 years.

I think my oldest son will be big enough for my bike in the spring and I would like to get myself an upgrade. Problem is good ones are not cheap.

^ For blu on the far right; a regular cab/ long bed base Sierra with a 5.3L. $40K sticker.

Id take THE Challenger from the Dodge Brothers catalog hands down. Honestly, at this point, the ONLY one Id buy IS the Challenger between the three. Id probably want the Challenger the way it is even AFTER a new gen is out. Its a classic that even if a new generation is made, Id still want this generation in my stable of cars. But as for the 4 door version, I wished Mopar would have updated the 300 the way they updated the Charger. Then Id want a 300 as well.

The Mustang Mach E does exactly what it should be doing. 1. Its creates a buzz by being called a Mustang. This way its NOT just another crossover SUV that looks like 90% of every single crossover sold. Love or hate the name...true Mustang or not...it gets people talking about it. 2. And it doesnt disappoint. Well...like the video suggests, if you get hung up on names, you will have a hard time living...but if you see this EV like you should be seeing it, its a great vehicle not only as a real first attempt from the ground up EV from Ford, but a great EV PERIOD! And that is comparing it DIRECTLY with the best of the best of EVs: TESLA EVs! What I dont get from GM and FoMoCo How is it that when they want to bring out a great vehicle, engineer it top notch and produce it flawlessly they do (Corvette C8, Ford GT, Ford F150, Cadillac Escalade) but they also CONSTANTLY phone in things and half ass them... Why cant they just ALWAYS DO Corvette C8s and Mustang Mach Es? (not the vehicles themselves, but the QUALITY of work behind these machines)

Is it the angle of the picture or is that 2500HD actually sitting higher than the Elevation truck?

I think in terms of the end of Next Gen / DS9 timeline. My Toronado is an old Constitution class Refit My Avalanche is a Galaxy class. Big. Previous generation of design. Versatile. Powerful, but not the fastest or most maneuverable, but definitely not something you want to pick a fight with. My Chrysler 300C is an Excelsior class. An old design that just keeps getting upgraded with the newest tech. Known for speed.

^ 3 of the above 4 vehicles are actual, real vehicles. - - - - - Mach-E review gives hope that it's a hit for Ford.

I got out a bunch this past summer. Not much else to do.

Yes

Brand new Sierra Denali 3500HD Duramax 6.6L/ Allison 10-spd on the left. Sticker was $83K. That’s my desired Pacific Blue Elevation on the right, except it was a 2.7L Double cab. Purty in person tho.

I am just more into performance cars. And I love the charger in green also, any of the greens they have sold it in, Actually.

DROVE a '21 Silverado High Country Duramax today. Pretty NICE (should be with a sticker of $66K).

Redoing the master bed room so ran to home depot for some supplies and found the following F250.

Very good Mach E review

WAY less than half that number/fixed it
