I didnt even know this car existed before I posted it. I was looking for Audi A7s to post when I came across these ones. And the reason why I was looking to post A7s is because I find the A7 rear C pilar slope to be similar to the Alfa Romeo Alfetta and this current gen Accord to which I wanted to show case this in the thread. Google though, showed me pics of that Audi and I fell in love with it that I had to post it. And I immediately erased my bias that Audi mimicked the rear C pillar from the Alfetta. These are the pics that introduced me to the Audi 100 coupe S But the Accord on the other hand...mimics the A7 (RS7 pictured above) quite nicely.

I haven’t made any updates here in a while because, well, it just runs. I haven’t needed to do anything to it. Coming up to an oil change that I do on both bikes every September. We took it on the back of the truck to Rehoboth Beach for vacation in July and yesterday I took it out to a client in Altoona PA, 250ish miles round trip. It performed beautifully and cruises effortlessly at <censored> mph even over some steeper mountain highways. Gas range is a little short and I required 2 stops for gas, 42 mpg up and 45 mpg back.

As always, there's an app for that. I have a Plex home server, mostly for video. You could load all of that music on one and have a built in app on your dash to access your entire CD library from the PlexAmp. License for the software is a one-time $120 (I bought it 10 years ago when it was like $70). No more USB sticks. Just be your own private streaming service. You can share with friends too if you wanted (I share my movies with @Paolino). ..... but not if you have a GM EV. That said, you could also store all of your CDs in Apple iTunes on your phone...... ..... but not if you have a GM EV.

GMs gatekeeping (as well as just not allowing CarPlay/Android Auto in the first place) will be the thing that keeps me from ever buying a future EV with them. At least Ford has the good sense to leave that kind of control out of there's. Same with just about everyone else of concern.

All we can do is kick up as big of a stink as we can to get this nonsense to stop. I beat up GM on social media as much as I can about the EV-Carplay thing.
