Deep Metallic Forest Green my dad had on his 49 Merc and it was amazing! It was very much like this: Wish he still had it, but traded it in for a Mercury station wagon late 60's as my two older sisters and me made them go after a bigger roomy auto for the family.

I understand that, I just do not see value in people trashing a product like this as it is not even a valid review video. Guess I just do not see any reason why people have to be like that in the video. I am also the type of person that sees no value in social media Idiots that only want people to look at them like the Kardashin morons or how ever you spell their name.

True, impressive that it still ran so well after all the crap they did. Still, work is so hard to earn the money to then trash something that cost so much.

Sweet n Sour Soup

I will never understand IDIOTS that destroy auto's just for the sake of seeing if they can. Anything can be destroyed and why would you pay that kind of money to then abuse it. Must be a trust fund IDIOT! ?

Dropping the SS off for service and see an auto I always loved. The Cadillac XLR 2005 model with 38,000 miles. Wish I could fit in them.

Let me correct that for you, BAD ASS UGLY LOOKING HD!

Almond Joy

Yes, I realized that as I dialed down into the local details by powertrain and saw 86 in my area that are diesel and 24 of them with standard bed.

Add running boards to address the seat issue?

Weird as the chevy web site says 690 trucks, but then I clicked down into it and for a 100 mile radius around me it says actually 86 available. Removed everything except the true base level and came up with 24 matches. wow.

Yes, that is what came up when I built on the web site. Clearly had it marked as a diesel and it came back with that many. Posted 12hrs ago on page 585. Love the Havana Brown Metallic

Easy, those are the common cord used for DVD/Blue ray players. I have them on multiple home electronics in both the living room and family room. Ya need to Rip those babies and put them on a NAS for the house with Bluetooth/WiFi connectivity and then have a Bose Wifi/Bluetooth speaker out there. Then ya get some really sweet sounds.

That is very weird as I found 688 variations of what @balthazar is looking for in my 50 mile circle search area.

But they do build them to withstand forces greater than what happens in an auto accident. That alone from an engineering standpoint shows that Aluminum/High Strength steel sub assembly like this can work. Especially with the honey comb crumple zone would imply that it is designed much like the front end of auto's to absorb the impact in protecting occupants and then allow it to be replaced to get the auto back on the road asap IMHO. Latest Update on the Jaguar XJ Sedan. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/05/04/electric-jaguar-xj-design/ Jag has confirmed that while they are ditching all ICE power trains for the next generation XJ sedan, they are not going to give up their style, size and luxury interior as other auto companies have done. Jag states they will keep the elegant luxury look of the XJ sedan and evolve it for the 21st century. Currently the new EV sedan is undergoing cold weather testing at the far north arctic circle.

Seems the final nails might just be coming from the German Courts in regards to Diesel Gate. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/05/05/vw-diesel-emissions-damages-court-ruling-germany/ Germany's court has dismissed VW claim that customers have no rights to damage claims since the auto's were never taken off the road unlike in America. Due to the reduced value and lack of resale of diesel auto's that were part of Diesel gate the German Courts have stated that customers DO HAVE THE RIGHT to Damage Claims. As such, while VW will continue to fight this, one does have to wonder how many more Billions it will cost VW. On top of this, it opens up the gates to Damage Claims to be brought against BMW and Mercedes Benz.

The Auto Alliance did a review of the Auto Industry for 2019. Some pretty cool stat's. I will say that based on this info, it will be very interesting to see how this all changes over the next 10 years compared to what was projected.

@surreal1272 That is a a great post, who knew that the Bolt had more interior room than the Equinox and I love the Adrian Steel cage package that protects the front folks. Great service auto for companies. Considering how much aluminum and carbon fiber is in planes, I figure auto's can easily handle it too.

In watching the video, it would appear that you have a series of bolts that come off and the unit can be removed. So a rear end accident that would probably break the honey comb area over the wheels and then they unbolt the old back under carriage piece and replace it, replace the rear body parts and reassemble it would seem to me. Thinking on this, just as they have the honey comb impact absorbing points on the front of an auto. This appears to be the same type of thing in the back that would allow safety for the occupants of the auto by having this undercarriage piece take the brunt of the hit.

Water Boarding

I did the base LT with diesel crew cab / standard bed. Seems 688 matches found in my area. Looking at $48,160. Now just need to get GM to throw you another $8,500 and you got a deal. LOVE The Havana Brown Metallic.
