I miss him and Balthy...they were...amusing.and CaminoLS6.

Random thought: ... sure miss those "down votes" from ocnblu

The new 'Nox looks good...haven't seen one yet in person. My sister still loves her '23, it only has 9500 miles on it....she hasn't been driving much since retiring last year.

More 25 equinox pics - Chevy got the packing right; size is amazing...nice and large inside. MUCH improved interior. Wider, more leg room, seemingly more headroom, nice trunk. And the inevitable half a dozen places to put your phone. Drove a traverse with the new shifter, I think people will like the new shifter a lot (although I still dig having a console shifter for a seden or more sporty car).

hybrid bugs on that vehicle are why I have never taken a deep interest in it. Maybe as a second vehicle; but even then I don't want to be a beta tester....which, they've been beta testing the pacifica hybrid for like 8 model years now. bring it on; chevy got this one right!

Right. This happens when low life get these critters as babies, bring them up north, and then, when they grow and/or they're done with them, they're chucked into a nearby body of water. They won't survive winter, but there's always the chance they can do some damage in the interim since they're not expected to be there.

I think all three of them had an automotive interest that largely died with most things built after 1974. Thinking of adding another turn table to my system, this looks good.

Sorry about that. Indeed Still fascinated with this.

used to go to college with a guy who had a Camaro just like this... Another rat rod... Love the color and patina on this truck... Sits just right... Reminds me of my old Mustang...

Reminds me--I saw in the news yesterday that an alligator was spotted recently in Lake Erie in the Erie, PA area...not native to the area.

That is exactly what I think when landing and you see Grapevine Lake. Boaters, jet skiers, but where are people supposed to swim? The central to lower Midwest also has this issue in its bodies of water. They are pit vipers, so sort of related to rattlesnakes. Ditto for huge Lake Houston. People should not be swimming there. Alligators in that one ... at the very least.

Today marks yet another anniversary of the sinking of the "Andrea Doria," just the night before she was due in to New York. My parents knew young couples, some of them with toddlers, who were moving to the U.S. on tranquil completed crossings, but also one couple who did not yet have children but were on the ship on the crossing on which the collision with the "Stockholm" occurred. I am in the New York City area right now. Life is weird ... that's for sure.

Bummer to hear you did not get it, but I do believe the right job will find you and life will be even better for you because of it. All the best in your job search.

It seems like you can't wipe your behind these days without getting a survey sent to you. Then, when you get around to responding to it, it has stale dated.

Damn, sorry about that. I've been job hunting this whole year, fairly passively. But I was recently offered a team lead position, but I have to pass a few tests, so I'm studying for those. I've had a bunch of phone interviews and a few actual interviews (Anheuser-Busch, Boeing, and Worldwide Technology). Now that I've been offered the Team Lead position, I've stopped looking. I mostly just feel like I'm more valuable and "should" be making more money. With them offering this, I definitely feel like they know I can handle it and want me around.

They have lockable boxes you can mount the charger in. I agree that there's no rush to get the charger, but if you're already doing construction work inside, run at least any conduit or wiring needed now and leave it disconnected. I found out about 30 minutes ago that I didn't get the job. Back to the drawing board, I guess. I hate job hunting.

I haven't actually done anything about it but we have plenty of power and the electric box is mounted on an exterior wall and I'm sure it would be as simple as running wire through the wall and mounting a charger outside. We still don't have a garage so I'm a little iffy if I want anything electric until that's done, so it can be inside. I know they make exterior chargers, but I'd just feel better if it was inside. Yaaay, public transit! I take a bus every day to STL. I drive 1 mile to the bus and the bus does the remaining 29 miles. I did the math a couple years ago and I think in just fuel, I saved like 15k in the 7 or 8 years I had been here. Tomorrow will actually be my 10-year anniversary at my company. I'm sure my savings are around 20k in gasoline alone, let alone maintenance and tires.

You're right ... it would also have to be trimmed out. I don't think wheel well skirts were the way to go since Pontiac tried to purvey the image of being the sportiest among the full-sized GM boulevardiers and the skirts don't work well with their trademark rally wheels. Also, as I got closer to that Bonneville coupe in Yosemite, I believe the fabric seats had this cool tweed-like look - in that apple green I mentioned - instead of the over the top velour pillowed seats you might see in the upline Grandville Brougham. I would have loved to have driven one of these cars at some point just to see what they feel like. I'm sure they're fine on the freeway, but it would be interesting to know how they behave on the 2-lane mountain roads into Yosemite and other mountain destinations.

I use the Minions voice in Waze.
