I’m not usually a big fan of snow. But it has been kinda snow free here as well. I think I would be okay with one good old fashioned snow storm. Only catch is the snow can’t hang around too long, as it would help being that polar vortex down. But for a few days, the snow would be calming and kinda refreshing... ?

You realize that that money Tesla is 'worth' is all borrowed, right? Stock revenue is not something a company is supposed to survive off of. Tesla still, I believe, loses money on every car they sell. And a company's worth is far more than just it's stock price. Tesla failed to take a big enough bite out of the market in order to gain & maintain a lead.

It's GM Marketing and top brass salivating at the chance to capitalize on the Corvette name...again. The Chevrolet Corvette is a classic two door premium sports car that sits low to the ground with a front or modern day mid-engine setup and that's how it should stay. The 1,000 hp Super-car Corvette Zora coming in a few years with a high winding 850hp 5.5TT V8 thundering away pushing behind the driver and passenger is the propulsion and sound it always needs, the 150 hp electric motor pulling in front is all the electric propulsion it should have. BEV's have their place, but we need to keep the sweet sounding V8 and only two doors while sitting low to the ground in a Corvette.

I would even recommend that one should open all the windows in the car with All the Hot Air coming from the orifices of certain immediate objects inside that are melting...snow❄️ in the forecast.

I believe that recommendation is for the scenario where you are in an untrusted car with randos (like an Uber ride, taxi ride, ride in the back of a police car, etc) or you are in your own car with randos or other resource units not in your immediate household.

Thinking about the good 'ole times...I guess.

https://ca.yahoo.com/news/opening-car-windows-could-reduce-165700273.html But Gary Numan said that Here in my car, I can feel safest of all. I can lock all my doors... Its the only way to live...in cars. What is this bulllshyte talk about opening up windows, now? You know...Ive started to think If I open my windows, the image breaks down I dont really want you...visiting me Stay 6 phoquing feet away from me, in cars. Im leaving tonight Before the image breaks down....in cars.

^ heh-heh...'fin tech'= 'financial technology'...banking & financial related technologies.

Not much going down here in NE Ohio..cloudy and 23F today, had the coldest night of the year so far w/ about 19F last night (nothing like the polar vortex lows 2 years ago at this time). Supposed to get snow flurries today and some later this week...been a pretty mild January. On my job search, got about 2 weeks left on my current gig...been through 2nd interviews at two places, had a couple 1st interviews...in talking w/ recruiters late on Friday it sounds like offers may be coming Mon-Tues on a couple of them.. decisions, decisions..both companies in the fin tech space, one a contract w/ a big Western New York company (100% remote) with a traditional software development environment, the other an FTE position with a small local company that is growing and has pretty cutting-edge technology...

I hope your storm does not end up arriving here in Montreal. It sounds that we might get some of that shyte here too. Ill be listening to the weather guy speak his mind shortly. But then again, its been relatively snow free here so, it might not be a bad thing.

GM has announced a major change to a Canadian manufacturing plant. CAMI will become Canada's first large scale electric delivery vehicle manufacturing plant. The first auto to be produced there replacing Chevrolet Equinox production is the BrightDrop EV600 delivery van and the EP1 electric e-pallet product. GM to Invest Nearly $800 Million To Convert CAMI into Canada’s First Large-Scale Commercial Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Plant

Sadly plenty of automotive content here that gets ignored to make political posts that go nowhere.

Guys, lets keep at least this website clear from the politics. I get enough of that sh@t everywhere else. Plenty of other subjects to get on each other's nerves

Personally, I think Telluride is ugly, it might be a good family crossover but I think it is overhyped.

On THAT note for Chicago and Washington from Montreal. Dear Miss Harris, you are an inspiration to all of us! And Im proud that you have got a little bit of Montreal with you as well!!!

That must be the adaptive cruise / pedestrian warning/ front camera sensors. Mercedes is also notoriously bad at making them subtle. When I was sitting in the GMC dealer staring into the giant face of a Yukon Denali, GMC's treatment is very well done.

‘78-era Elky, navy blue, very solid/unrestored original, likely relatively low-miles. Since we were mentioning it elsewhere, another XT6 :

Emissions standards all over the world after 2030 or 2035 say otherwise for ANY internal combustion engine. Im all for the Corvette to retain its V8 engine as long as its possible. Until its V8 cant pass emissions any longer. If by any chance, ICE engineers can somehow engineer a V8 (not JUST any ICE like a 4 banger, but a V8... Corvette, right?) to pass the inevitable highly impossible emissions, then Ill be ecstatic about a V8 Corvette in a EV world. But lets not kid ourselves here.... Pie in the sky scenarios aside, I hope we all understand that the world no longer wants the ICE. I hope we could understand that BEVs are what is next in our future for our personal transportational needs. Be it in 2035 or 2055....its coming... Especially when GM has said to have stopped working on new generation internal combustion engines. Oh...they will updated this new LT2 in the coming decade, but as is, this engine will never pass the impossibly high emissions to come in 2030 or 2035. And seeing that development money is zero for a next gen Chevy small block, this would be the last gen V8 GM will produce.

Legendary for getting yanked for a V8; yes.
