And that is scary shyte if you think about it. What is really eerie, is that between the rise of Stalin, Nazi Germany, the cold war and this new era of Trumpism in the US, this human history of ours that spans the 1900s all the way to 2025, is just the Star Wars universe storyline beats. Food for thought.

LOL I must apologize because I linked up the wrong link for the autoshow. This link https://www.apa.ca/en/apa-at-the-2025-montreal-salon-de-lauto/ shows what were some of the highlights. Missing are Luc Poiriers, a Quebec billionnaire, legit billionnaire and a legit Quebecois real estate mogul, young too, with his 27 or 28 Ferraris. Also, the Corvette ZR1 was at the show too. Anyway, my points being 1. I went to to show with my son. Had a great time with him 2. The Montreal show was a success as Montrealers dont show any contempt for auto shows in the winter, Montrealers are not fully immersed in the latest greatest auto reveals over the internet and a good 'ole auto show is plenty enough to see, feel, touch and enjoy the cars that we will end up buying eventually while also looking and dreaming about what billionnaire money buys you. 3. Montreal is not Detroit. (Thank the lord) 4. Detroit is (or was) ALWAYS a premier reveal destination. Montreal was ALWAYS a so-so reveal destination. Plenty of new reveals did happen in Montreal over the years though. Mainly first reveals FOR the Canadian market. But having a Corvette C8 ZR1 at the show this year, Montreal was probably one of the FIRST cities to showcase it. It was on a pedastal showcase going round and round. Kinda feels good to showcase a car like that. But sadly though, not too many people were flocked to it. They didnt seem to know it was there. But there was an E-Ray there as well, and it was a floor show piece ready to be sold and it was open for people to sit in it and there was a HUUUUUGE line-up for it. Kids, teens, young adults, middle aged folk sprinkled with some old fogeys ALL lined-up to sit in it. I havent seen a Corvette with that kind of buzz surrounding it in a looooooong while. 5. My son and I sat in the Brightdrop. It is a well thought commercial EV. It is HUUUUGE. Wide and tall and long. GM EVs are well built inside and out. We sat in the Cadillac Escalade EV, Lyriq and Optiq, the Chevy Equinox and Blazer. We were not impressed with the interior of the Hummer though. It was cheap. The doors are flimsy. All other GM EVs are great inside and out. 6. The Dodge Charger EV is a STUNNER on the outside. The fit and finish on the outside is on par with everybody else. No surprise there as Chryco does make good cars. On the inside too, not too shabby with the quality and fit and finish. The interior design looks like what a modern muscle car should look like. But...I read and listened to many UNBIASED car reviews about the Charger EV and they all say that the EV part of the Charger is mediocre. Its a shame as its got the looks. Best looking of ALL EVs ever up until now for 2025. I even prefer the looks of the Charger to the Audi E Tron. And I LOOOVE the Audi E Tron. 7. Quebecois were all flocked to the EV offerings of ALL manufacturers present at the autoshow. Less at Tesla though. Nothing to do with Elon's antics as the autoshow was BEFORE his Nazi salute and all that shyte. Its because most Quebecois already KNOW Tesla. GM surprisingy had the most people at their EVs. Second was Hyndai/Kia. 8. There was some sort of Mercedes-AMG model there. Mercedes was next to Cadillac. The Blackwing sedans were there. Nobody acknowledging them as the Cadillac EVs had the attention further away from Mercedes. This specific AMG model was at the border of the Cadillac/Mercedes display. Nobody was at theat Mercedes either. I sat in it. It was phoquing tinny and plasticky. I got out of it in disgust and I didnt notice what model it was. I dont know HOW auto journalists complain about GM having cheap interiors...

Everyone boycotting America forever is the start. America and Israel need to be the bastard children of the world, they both are facist nazi states unworthy of respect. The stupid gets deepr and deeper here. Who knew that electing folks with no ethical basis in life meant having people with no moral compass in charge? Who could ahve guessed this, Honestly? For any conservatives still lurking, this is sarcasm. And American products should be boycotted worldwide. Starting with high value products like Boeing Jets. F@@k boeing, Tesla, and every other American company. IF it smells like shyte, acts like shyte, and elects shyte, its probably American. I like Fords gasser Trucks, but pony cars are an idea whose time ahs come and gone. Fords EVS are No Va en this marketplace. I see ford being a smaller and smaller maker of ICE trucks as EV's take over. Seriously.

https://canadianautodealer.ca/2025/01/montreal-auto-show-is-back-with-lots-to-dazzle-the-eyes-and-hearts-of-consumers/ I went to the Montreal auto show. And our show was a success. 163 000 attendees. That web site I linked up rounds up to 170 000. It was a 14% increase over 2023 but last year's attendance was higher at 168 000. And at 168 000, that is highest since 2019. So our auto show is quite neutral. Neither up or down. Just stable.

Seems there is NO GOING BACK to the Glory Days of Old for Auto Shows as Detroit was a Failure. Detroit Auto Show Attendance Plummets As Glory Days Fade MAGA is going to find as their retires die off that the Glory days are not there and that MAGA was never gone as America is Great, much Like Canada or any country. The past days are water under the bridge and there is no going back. Dictators will have to be dealt with as we fight to save our Democracy! FORD CEO Farly needs to put on his Big Boy Pants and focus on building Quality products rather than complain about Korea or Japan Auto's. Ford is building crap auto's and their EVs are falling behind. It really is pathetic what he says here. Ford CEO has tough words for his automotive rivals

It was a double whammy this past week with American style capitalism over Canada. As I mentioned before, Amazon has closed all of its warehouses in Quebec because one warehouse DARE unionize and for the fear of further unionizations, well, they got outta Dodge... So, the city of Montreal in turn has ceased to buy the shytty made in China crap Amazon peddles. Montreal will buy locally and by the threat of American tariffs on Canadian products, Montreal will also buy products made in Canada or elsewhere in the world NOT named United States of America. https://www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/article/the-city-of-montreal-announces-it-will-stop-ordering-from-amazon/

ICE arrestations and deportations with GITMO destinations are ryhming 1933-1945 Nazi Germany. Propanda abound from Putin, Musk, Trump, Murdoch all working together it seems, or all working for a common goal, makes the Nazi propaganda, genocide and war machine look like novices.

Amazing watching the young musicians who can make a oldie but goodie song awesome. Love the guitar dual at the end.
