News Alert News Alert News Alert FORD has Built the all new Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 EV - 1,400HP, 1,100 lb-ft of Torque and an 8 second Quarter mile at more than 170 mph. https://electrek.co/2020/04/23/ford-mustang-cobra-jet-1400-electric/ To Quote the Story: The project serves as a testbed and demonstration of Ford’s latest work with electric vehicles. Dave Pericak, Global Director of Ford Icons, said: Mark Rushbrook, Global Director of Ford Performance Motorsports, added:

Considering that the Rav4 Hybrid has more torque, more speed off the line and returns 40MPG, better MPG than the ICE only. I see no reason for Toyota to not make the Hybrid a Standard top line feature on every model and have a gutless 4 banger as entry and turbo 4 as mid range.

I have one one side of my front yard Emerald Green Arborvitae but they just grow way too slow. The ones I planted in 1999 when I bought the place are finally hitting about 10 to 12 feet for a decent natural wall from the messy neighbor. I researched and went with the Lelands as they top out around 30 feet and can like the Arborvitae be trimmed to create a natural fence. They do make a nice year round green belt for a private yard. I actually hate maples and pretty much any deciduous tree as you have the mess in the fall of falling leaves and an ugly grey tree through winter plus a ton of pollen in the spring.

@Robert Hallthis is what the front side of my driveway looks like where I bbn planted Leland Cyprus trees as they can be trimmed to make a natural wall of privacy. also it makes it easy with my EGO edge and extension attachment to keep them trimmed back from the power lines.

I can understand, grew up with a family of labs and they all died 1 after another roughly 9 to 12 months apart. It was a hard 5 years till they were all gone. Sounds great for the backyard. I also am working on a remodel plan for the back yard, have started to change the garden area, have another area that will go pavers with a fire pit and have been lining out the backyard with Leland Cyprus trees to make a natural tall private green belt.

Yup, meant the Z28 Camaro.

@Robert Hall My condolences on your loss Robert. Fur Kids are so lovable and give so much that we do not realize how much a part of the family they are till they are gone. Love em till they leave ya and then celebrate their life! What are your plans for the back deck expansion?

Senior run day of shopping and delivering to the senior parents. Out and about, saw a cherry silver 2nd gen CTS V coupe. So nice. Also saw a 1980's Z28 Camaro still running.

Cadillac needs to first decide if they want to be a mass auto sales machine with everyone else or if they want to be a true luxury auto maker that people attain to want! I would rather they do the last one.

I always loved these specific fighter planes:

Always liked that specific BMW posted above. Is it the best compared to the Riviera, I think not, but then it is better than the garbage Audi and Mercedes put out then.

Sadly this is a Meh Mobile.

Not everyone hears of everything. While I heard of the Alaskan earthquake, not everyone sees pictures or realizes that is from Alaska. Nothing is in the picture implies it is from Alaska. So a valid question asked. Clearly you like to follow fake news with a big helping of fake ASSumptions. Not everyone has seen this picture or seen things related to the 1964 Alaskan earthquake. Out of wondering, I asked my kids if they had ever heard of this specific earthquake. Nope they had not, not taught in school, not talked about and so you have made an Assumption with your statement. Stop being a lemming.

Course custom Dreamliners such as the Saudi royal family has ordered are amazing. Wonder which BMW that is below. LOL

Being in Boeing Country, I can say that the 757 was good for it's time, a senior that needs to stay retired. Very poor in efficiency and noise control. I agree with you that I hate Idiot45 since the 80's as he used Bankruptcy to steal others money and make himself rich. I have no respect as he has not built anything only stolen. Enough said about Idiot45. Boeing and Airbus make nice planes and their current planes are far superior excluding the software problems of the Max line than the plans of old. Once you are on a Dreamliner, you will wonder why all planes are not built that way with such big windows and so quiet. Boeing Dreamliners are what all planes really should be built to as a standard.

CT sedans suck, Cadillac has FAILED MISERABLY in regards to their product lines. The cars are not Cadillac but European wanna be crap! XT series are piss poor badge jobs of Chevrolet CUVs. This is a pathetic reboot of the 80's/90's and honestly they clearly did not get any proper leadership yet to lead Cadillac in the right direction. They hire an Idiot European who attempts to remake Cadillac as a BMW/MB wanna be auto company and moves it's HQ to NY wasting millions if not Billions when they could have brought out a proper far better product line. 2020 Escalade while selling has even been fucked up by the new political ass kissing idiot they put in charge. Why do I say they fucked up the Escalade? Simple, while there is much to love about it and I have first hand experience driving a brand new 2020 Escalade for a week from my dealership as they serviced my auto this is what I came away with: As I posted in the April auto thread, I had this ESV to drive for the week. Pro's Lots of power, easy to get up over 100 before you know it. Interior layout is very nice, love the Mocha / Black accent interior Gobs of room to haul stuff. Used this to pick up supplies for all the senior parents and deliver them during this quarantine period. Style is spot on for this Escalade. Hidden external steps, gotta love having it pop out and then retrack in. Keeps a very nice clean side look. Presence, you could not have more. The king is here and others get out of the way as you drive it down the highway. Nav / radio system worked flawlessly and love the wireless charging phone pad HUD, this is a must have on any luxury auto, I love the HUD. Yes many other things to like about this Escalade And yet there are some glaring issues: Con's 2020 and no Android or Apple phone play, Yes we get it in the 2021 version but come on, this is 2020 and the tech has been out for years. Seats, while nice leather, they are flat, not supportive and on a 300 mile road trip I did in this one, it made my bum num. My 2006 has far superior seats. It is Cadillac and should be supportive, comfy seats that you do not get num or fatigued while riding in. Steering wheel, They totally went backwards and Cheap here. My 2006 has wood and the proper knobs on the back side that fits your fingers ensuring maximum grip while minimizing tension on road trips, this was a poorly stitched leather slick steering wheel. Something you would also find on a Chevrolet. Sad. Last and the biggest complaint of mine, NO MAGNA RIDE! Yup, This is a luxury brand that should be tight and yet absorb the road imperfections. I went off a curb to see how the new system was like and was shocked to have it plop down hard. Got out, looked underneath and confirmed when I returned it to the dealership, that the base Escalades DO NOT come with Magna Ride, it is an option. As such, this Escalade rides like a pickup truck when Empty. We are talking Cadillac and Cadillac DOES NOT have to cover what Buick and Chevrolet already sell nor GMC. These should be the maximum ultimate Luxury rides. Right now Cadillac is Failing us the customers with piss poor re-badges of Chevrolet products and if they do this with their EV line, they will truly fail. Cadillac should be building LUXURY auto's which will NOT be for EVERYONE. Take the CT current products and sell them at Chevrolet at a proper Chevrolet price and I bet they will move big time. Then using names, bring back full size luxury sedans that can via a nob or switch go from Touring, sport and performance mode and yet are roomy and spacious inside. Cadillac Cars and SUV/CUV should be a step apart from Buick, GMC and Chevrolet.
