I think those tracks would all be on my 1987 playlist... as would many songs from 1994 through 2002, those were the years I drove the car the most...all over Michigan, Ohio and then in 1997 to Colorado... I haven't tried the CD player yet (I put a Sony single disc player in it in 1997 after the tape deck died). I have to get a new 'Michigan Engineering' decal for the rear window (had that there from grad school) and a Colorado logo plate for the front, since Ohio is now a 1 plate state... but first things first..need to get it checked out mechanically, get new tires, etc. I did find receipts and a window sticker for an oil change in 2018.

Yea, why bother singing about the Bluest sky's are in Seattle, we have so much rain! Grunge is blah to me but then most music is blah in one way or another. Little old Lady from Pasadena is another over rated place much like NY, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, etc. etc. etc. Super Stock Dodge is interesting, but not reliable, but then what is from Ford or GM or any of them, they all wear out and have issues in one way or another. Spiderman is Meh, never been a fan of him Batman is OK, but then again, nothing special other than rich enough to afford the toys to make him different. Superman is cool, but then he grew up in the farm belt, so a well-grounded man. Only idiot parents would leave their kid home alone multiple times. Nope, not sold on the actor, story line or the city. Dell and Neil who? never heard of them, clearly not worth my time to look up. Crocodile Dundee returned to the outback, better place than either NY or LA. Yea, about the cesspool of bacteria in the subway and taxis, hard pass, NY can keep it along with all the other problems they face. Could car less about roller skating, surfer lifestyle, hot rodding is cool, but then it can be done anywhere. Agree totally Starbucks coffee sucks, but then so does coffee in general, hate the smell, taste, etc. Worthless drink, does not touch my lips. NYC has some cool music schools, but otherwise not much else except for inflated egos, excess moron lawyers and extremely greedy financial market folks. Hatred, nope, you were just being honest on your viewpoint, and I can respect that! After all, we all have viewpoints, much like we all have assholes!

According to DeLorenzo, rant from June 8 2022 episode 1149, Ford has ominous signs and a shaky future... http://www.autoextremist.com/ Quite the opposite of what Sandy Munro suggests with Ford... Both opinions have some hard core truths to them. At the end of the day, both remain opinions...

Although I like Sandy Munro, I dont understand how he could come to a conclusion that only 3 (presumably he is ONLY talking about the ones from the US) automakers to survive when he 1. hasnt really seen anything Ultium from GM because GM hasnt really launched anything Ultium just yet therefore cannot possibly see what or how Utlium will do in the market place. He hasnt been able to see and give an opinion on Ultium on how good or bad or how it compares to Tesla, Ford and Rivian... How does HE know what tech the Lyriq will have? How does HE know what the public will do for the Lyriq? How does HE know how the EV Silverado will fare against the F150 EV both in the market place and tech wise? 2. Hasnt really seen anything of concrete from Rivian. Other than that one SUV... And isnt Rivian currently having production woes and financial woes? Let them get by the chip shortage, the inflation, the production woes of 2022 and 2023 and possibly 2024 and THEN we could talk about Rivian becoming the new Big 3 from Detroit... Is Rivian even from Detroit? 3. Ford. Nothing really concrete from Ford either. Other than the Mach E. The F150 EV aint out yet. He hasnt seen it to tear it down... Pretty bold statements to make also considering that Tesla's quality issues are a huge concern and Tesla's manufacturing capabilities are STILL questionable REGARDLESS if people will always flock to Tesla. People cant buy a Tesla if Tesla cant produce the cars to meet demand. IF Ford is THAT good, then people WILL go to Ford if Tesla cant meet demand. And they (Tesla) CANT meet demand. They increase production, quality goes further down the shyytter... Tesla stays neutral to where they can comfortably build, produce and have decent quality, and it WONT be enough. GM will further get left over sales... especially if Utlium is that good as they say it is... And they means not only GM engineers, other folk not named Sandy Munro... He is like, dooming GM without ANY knowledge... He doomed the Mustang Mach E BEFORE he tested it... He tested it, he NOW believes Ford will survive and continue to be Big 3. He doomed Tesla too at one time... As much as I like him, I thought he was a blowhard then, and with this, I think he continues to be a blowhard and full of himself... Although I DO acknowledge the importance of what he does. I DO acknowledge his knowledge. However, he is like many of them, too phoquing cocky. Bob Lutz, Peter DeLorenzo, himself (Sandy Munro), all cut from the same know-it-all cloth blowhards...

They dont make songs about Seattle tho... Of ALL the musical genius that came out of Seattle, and there is a LOT, NONE have sung about Seattle... If you could make it there, you could make it anywhere is talking about NY not Seattle. The little old lady who drives a super stock Dodge is from Pasadena, NOT Seattle. NYC is home to Batman, Superman, Spiderman. Macaulay Culkin was left alone IN New York, NOT Seattle. (Originally in Chicago) Dell Griffin and Neil Page were working IN NY to get to Chicago. They wouldnt even think about being in Seattle one iota... (cute little reference there) Crocodile Dundee visited NY AND Los Angeles. NOT Seatltle. New York is FAMOUS for its subway system and taxis... LA is famous for its hot rodding, roller skating, surfer lifestyle. NYC and LA overcrowded and overpriced? Lets talk about overcrowded and overpriced...coffee from Starbucks. How about we add another adjective starting with over. Overrated coffee from Starbucks. California has its own music sound. Same for NYC. NYC was home to many musical sounds. Seattle has...grunge ? Whoa. Where did all that hatred come from???

There are a lot of "messed up" people because they like both New York and California and, because they get into these moods, they tend to move back and forth. This would be people who have that sort of money. And some of these people have residences in both places. Say it all with a New York accent: When in New York: "the weather is awful" When in California: "there is no culture here," "you can't get good food at 1 a.m." They love to whine. - - - - - The second photo looks more like La Jolla (San Diego) even though I was thinking it could be near Palos Verdes or Laguna Beach, but I'm not sure.
