  1. I dunno much about this actor. I had to google who he was. Turns out Ive seen a handful of her movies. (Oh...I also realized that the male version of Frances is spelled with an 'I' not an 'E' when I realized who the actor in question was after I was done googling...) But yeah!

  2. Random, indeed: Chevrolet - can you say "Towne Coupe?" Pontiac - both the optioning out and the photographic effects on this one are hilarious

  3. I was "listening" to this the other night. Here I am, walking down a street in Palermo and, one level above the restaurants and shops, are apartments with their French doors open onto their balconies. A dude wearing only some cargo shorts was rocking out to this song on the balcony. His lady friend or significant other was nowhere as into it as he was, and was making only a few moves. I wasn't going to take a photo or video. I tried doing that the night before with some lady lowering a plastic pail to the ground level while some Mama Celeste types were sitting on their chairs outside ... and these ladies told me to take a hike in Sicilian. So I wasn't going to push my luck with the dancing duo on the balcony. Young hearts run free! A sassy song from the disco era.

  4. Very true. Do some notchbacking with the sheetmetal, throw on a landau top, make the rear passenger window appear smaller, and even add some wire wheels (uh ... no, to the last one). The line up of engines was really interesting - the 140 4 from the Vega replaced by the Iron Duke, a 231 even firing as well as the smaller 196 V6, and THREE V8s, from the original 262 to the 250, all by Chevrolet. And something weird with having to move the V8 engine to get to the plugs! Vega's (not Monza's) engine had a "nickname" about its durability (cough) when the slogan could have been "melts in your engine bay, not in your mouth" ... or something like that. Too much. Obviously a '73. I'm wondering what state this person lives. "El Cutlassino."

  5. ^ mini-PLCs on the Vega H-platform. Automakers went crazy for PLCs of all sizes in the late 70s, these were GM's answer to the Mustang II Ghia.

  6. Electric is for public charging stations only. DOH, I bet there is home fueling pods and should be included especially on a farm. Story stated major retail gas stations.

  7. Serious question: Do these include the home chargers? Or is that number simply just public chargers along a highway or in a shopping mall parking lot type deal? Not so serious question: Does that number include home fueling pods? Or is that number just gas stations along a highway or on a major street corner?

  8. What are you talking about?? Didn't you hear? Electric cars are coming, with fewer parts, they'll be really super excellent and cost like $8000 total. D.C is going to outlaw shortages and inflation next week!

  9. On my outbound flight a few weeks ago, I had a few movies to look at on my video monitor. I didn't really listen to it with earphones, but I kept glancing at "Nomadland" while eating, napping, looking out the window ... It had Frances McDormand in it. She was in "Three Billboards ...," another dark movie. I've come to the conclusion that you might need to be on I.V. antidepressants to watch a movie with Frances McDormand.

  10. Why is this a war on ICE? If and when these EV's start to get to the point where you can drive them across the country, we still need the charging infrastructure for the entire population. That's not just the stations but the entire grid system, cabling, substations, and generation. We need all forms of fuel and generation to get us there. It seems that the time line is moving fast but the technology is in infancy, there's more to see coming down the Pike before EV's can claim victory in your war. I applaud the advancement but this might take u 200 years before we get there. I truly think GM is rushing this through killing the Voltic drive system as that was a more logical approach to the end goal. All of the manufacturer's are pricing themselves out of business trying to scale up to 100% EV's by such and such year on the backs of the average ICE buyer. In all other technology advancement the early adapter footed the bill now even those who can't afford a new car are paying for others to get a new EV with their tax dollars and you guys are taking about another round of cash for clunkers when a 1500 dollar car is bringing in 7500?
