Sharks, alligators, hurricanes...all part of the weirdness of Florida. Florida Man doesn't fear them, though.. Though for all the craziness, I do have a fondness for the Florida Keys, Miami and S. Florida in general... and the writings of Floridian Carl Hiaasen, who I saw announced his retirement from the Miami Herald yesterday. His colorful novels set in Florida are often hilarious. I'd love to have seen Miami and Miami Beach in the 1940s, when my father spent 4 years stationed at Miami Army Airfield with his work in the Army Air Forces Transport Command there and in the US Virgin Islands.

This is where I agree...people have to want to be part of that future, not forced or demanded to do that. You only have to look at current politics to see where that will go... I’m a person who is ready for the future, but still embraces the past. ICE will never completely go away...unless it is forced. While I feel EV will slowly work its way into the mainstream- EV and ICE still need to work in perfect harmony together....

Notice how Balth’s dissent is still up and how it differs in tone and lack of bigotry? Do better and maybe your posts will stay up. I do not allow transphobic comments on this site.

That's one way to look at it! What gets me is when people go further out into water that has sharks and they're in those inflatable boats with motors. That's just insane. - - - - - Good morning, folks: Seawall Blvd. on Galveston Island's main road fronting the Gulf is apparently obsessed with sharks,* too! * unmistakably a white ...

One con is GM will be dictating what people will drive rather than offering them a choice. There are others, of course.

Just a lot more noticeable when branded "Generation E".

Automakers load the dinner plate, but the diner may just push the vegetables off to one edge. Was talking on another board, and one 'future embracer' was claiming that the 'GM of old' always dictated what buyers got, but NOW, with BE's, people get what THEY want; that GM has changed. But it's the exact same scenario even worse, since so few people actually buy BE's currently. What dave87rs posted above is the more logical, the most encompassing; find a way to offer both and let the buyer decide. Look at the fractured catalogs of OEMs now- I read in passing that Mercedes has 100 models- that's crazy. Model counts will have to radically decline, but both powertrains can co-exist.

Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades

Though I'm more into rock, pop, '80s synth pop, and grunge, I dabble in country music, and I do like Garth. Another more recent country singer I like is Chris Stapleton...great voice and storyteller.. Fire Away: Parachute:

I’ll pass.

That must be a law abiting shark (yes...intentional spelling mistake for obvious pun reasons) Seeing that the shark was seemingly only wanting to bite the boat, maybe there is a law in Florida for sharks not to bite stupid humans? On a serious note regarding the idiot that wanted to pet the shark: I cant believe the idiot said that the shark wanted to play when the shark showed its belly. Yeah...I think the shark was playing alright. Playing with him in a Machiavellian kind of way. I think the shark was telling him "do that one more time motherphoquer, and you'll end up in here!"

This is refreshing: brand new desktop after just over 10.5 year run on the prior one. ?

This is the link to the 51 minute video where Mary covers how GM is planning the change over to an all EV future and moving everyone into an EV. I encourage folks to watch it with an open mind and then debate the pros and cons of her plan. https://players.brightcove.net/1050888044001/bNJ5EPvlNA_default/index.html?videoId=6222187724001 Thank you,

The scary part is that this was my local GM dealership the car came from....

Let Barra's manifesto serve as a warning.

Open the pod bay doors, HAL. I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave.

I assure you, this is a random thought not related to any immediately prior post in this thread. Isn't it rather boring?

Love this new marketing from GM! Are you willing to join the future? Are you willing to join Generation E? GM-Generation-E.mp4
