Chevrolet Performance just announced a new naturally-aspirated, 1004-HP / 876 TRQ crate motor. Running on pump gas, the 632 CI V8 goes on sale in early '22.

Saw a new WL JGC L for the first time up close, front looks good. Hood and sides seem too flat ( I like the creases of my WK2). Not sold on the rear either. This one was a Summit. Also saw a sharp black ‘65 Mustang 2+2, and a Pro Street style ‘73 Buick Gran Sport. Dark blue w/ huge rear tires, giant bubble hood scoop, STGE 1 license plate. Great rumble.

Boo; professional lounger.

This is literally "being 5h!t on" exponentially! Plane Dumps Human Waste on Man While Flying Over His Yard: 'A Really Horrible Experience' (msn.com) I wonder if it's possible to track the offending planes.

Thank you! And, as a coincidence, I was just looking at a web ad banner and it's readily apparent that used ones don't come cheap! It's always great to head down to Flah-reh-duh. Truly a unique, interesting, scenic, and weird state. No "My Cousin Vinny" antics on the way down. Wait. You're safe. You won't have tri-state NYC area license plates. (This commentary is moot if you're flying.)

Bonus if you have no headrests.

As I bid farewell to my '04 Silverado, I reflect on some of the vast interface changes between it & the '21 Sierra. • I thought I'd dislike, or at least find useless; the A-Pillar grab handles. Nope- I love them. • On the other hand I haven't made much if any use of the rear bumper corner steps. • The backup camera / image is pretty good/clear, has the 'angling lines' on screen, but I still back up using side mirrors. The camera I use basically the last bit of backing into a spot. • Inside storage is a significant improvement. • The keyless entry thing (which the wife's '16 Malibu has); you sure get used to in a hurry. ? • Went for a local ride today, wife's comment was 'I love how much room there is in this!' About 3450 miles, 400-mile average is hovering around 22.7 on the dash.

Nope. Just on loud ass motorcycles (I am not involved in your discussion with David so leave me out of that).

How about this, since you want to wax semantics over it? More often than not, most Harley riders, I’ve come across, are exactly how I described them. Of course there are exceptions but I never said “all” in the first place so I really don’t need to qualify my statement any further if you’re going to put words into my mouth. Loud pipes are, again, chest puffing accessories.

You are correct about the volt powertrain. The CT6 PHEV used some Bolt components but not the entire powertrain. The transmission was a significantly redesigned concept derived from the 2-Mode hybrid found in the Escalade/Yukon/Tahoe hybrid. It was effectively a 4 mode version and drove like a weird combo of an 8-speed auto and a CVT. And the engine would come on and off as needed, sometimes in a way completely unrelated to the actions of the car. It took some getting used to to drive. It was capable of full EV driving but unlike the Volt, the 2.0T could help out when call on. They weren’t the fastest cars out there and their engine characteristics were weird, but they could scoot pretty good when you wanted them to… plus tons of low end torque. The Volt (and rebadged Ampera) and ELR were entirely electric propulsion. There was some controversy at launch because at speeds above 80mph the volt transmission would lock to the generator/motor because their rpm was about the same and they gained some efficiency from it. Jalopnik made a huge stink about it saying the Volt was just a hybrid and not an EV because of this. no, the Fisker Karma just used the GM 4-cylinder. The rest of the setup was all Fisker.

No aftermarket exhaust, the one on there is what came with the SS from the Factory top be clear and I stand by my observation that the noise of open pipes on motorcycles has not saved lives, but probably caused accidents by startled drivers, pedestrians and bike riders alike. There is a reason for sound decibel laws and the science that has proven how loud can damage your hearing. I find nothing to change that on folks that ignore the science and go with a ear drum damaging open pipe. We agree to disagree.
