    I know people have not been impressed with the New V series so far, but over at the Cadillac Society, someone took the latest CT5-V and made a station wagon and I have to say they have some photoshop skills. I like what i see. http://cadillacsociety.com/2019/09/13/cadillac-ct5-v-wagon-rendering-has-us-drooling/

    Seems Benz is rolling out the info, pictures and videos on all things Hybrid and EV. https://media.daimler.com/marsMediaSite/en/instance/ko.xhtml?oid=44347800&relId=1001&resultInfoTypeId=172&ls=L2VuL2luc3RhbmNlL2tvLnhodG1sP29pZD00ODM2MjU4JnJlbElkPTYwODI5JmZyb21PaWQ9NDgzNjI1OCZib3JkZXJzPXRydWUmcmVzdWx0SW5mb1R5cGVJZD00MDYyNiZ2aWV3VHlwZT10aHVtYnM!&rs=4#toRelation So this shows their family being 10 Plug-in Hybrids now. Lots of details released in the last 24hrs. https://media.daimler.com/marsMediaSite/en/instance/ko/Start.xhtml?oid=4836258 Common thread I am seeing in all 10 Hybrids is their 2ft wide by 10 inch high or what seems like that big dash screen.

    Like a Blacker than Black auto? BMW has painted their X6 in the blackest black available. The auto only returns 1% reflection. https://carbuzz.com/news/blacker-than-black-bmw-x6-wont-avoid-the-police Yes LiDar can still see it.

    WOW, some of the info is surprising but clearly quality is not in the BEST Category of their Best or Nothing as it clearly is in the Nothing Category! QUOTE: Surprisingly, the study found that the car with the highest recall rate in America is the Mercedes C-Class. According to the study, the luxury car "has been recalled for a host of safety issues, from several different recall campaigns involving airbags to multiple campaigns involving failure in the steering column." Another campaign required the C-Class to be recalled because the sunroof had been improperly bonded to the frame, which meant there was a risk it could fall on passengers. Like the fact that they also related the recall list which by the way has Mercedes-Benz and BMW claiming the top spots for recalls followed by the GMC Sierra and of course everyone else both domestic, Asian and the rest of the German broads. What I found interesting in the read is that the Toyota 4Runner has such high reliability from Consumer Reports but is for it's class at the top of the recall list. How does Recalls and Reliability go................. Also very ? funny that at least for me, both Toyota and MB have ads on the story page to try and sell you said auto's.

    Wile Tomato juice works for animals, I have heard from others that Freebreeze works well for skunk in an auto. I have always used the following for external: Skunk ordor is hard but not impossible to get rid of. Measure and pour the distilled vinegar into a garden sprayer. Add liquid dish detergent to the garden sprayer. ... With the garden sprayer, begin spraying underneath and all around the car. Repeat one hour later if the smell remains. There is also the Amazon option, never used any of them but lots of spays / solutions. https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Miracle-Remover-Neutralizing-Formula/dp/B000NJJKCM/ref=asc_df_B000NJJKCM/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=218421090408&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7157794200968826516&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033284&hvtargid=pla-353328822856&psc=1

    Hope they come to terms sooner rather than later on this. Glad to read that Lordstown will reopen as a battery assembly plant and the EV pickup truck will go to Detroit-Hamtrack.

    Loving my new head unit with google maps. Be it standard or satellite maps, this is the standard all auto companies should offer. Even audio texting is great. Should have upgraded earlier than this. Worth the money.

    Maybe trying to give you some sunshine during heavy snow days? ?

    I would take that Euro NCAP testing with a Grain of salt. This from the same agencies that for years did not test properly to see if cheating software was being used in Diesel auto's, Acid rain that is destroying forests all across Europe and only got caught as the US market was questioning the results they got and decided to have 3rd party Universities look in to suspect results and BOOM, all blows up to billions of dollars of fines for them. What else is MB hiding in these Toyota / Chevrolet equal FWD appliances that MB sells? ??

    How does things like this get through manufacturing and not noticed that a lube point is not being lubed.Pathetic.

    Agree that GM should have continued to make and branch out with the Supercharged and Turbo charged SS engines. No, I do not see it as trolling but stating the obvious that @smk4565 continues to ignore. MB is no longer and has not been for the last couple of Decades a Luxury only auto company. With the amount of Taxis they produce and sell on the E platform which is all hard plastic city to the FWD A-Class. MB which was originally seen only as a luxury auto company has changed to be a global cheap to ubber luxury auto company and as such being compared to Toyota, Chevrolet, Hyundia, etc. is to be expected and warranted.

    Just accept that Mercedes is NOT a Luxury auto only company, but have changed into the Toyota/GM/ just about any other auto company with making cheap to expensive auto's that cover a wide range of income categories. You cannot be a luxury auto maker only when you are making JCPenny's priced products too.

    Yet this kind of testing would allow us to learn on how to build denser battery packs and create more efficient controllers, motors and figure out how to use capacitors that are in the super category to achieve this maybe from regen into the super capacitor to help maintain the high speed.

    https://www.amazon.com/Steelcase-Chair-Black-Fabric-FBA_46216179/dp/B00GBUPUOY/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=steelcase+leap+chair+black&qid=1568341736&sr=8-2 This is the specific chair, based on the model number and I had no idea they had become this expensive. I thought it was crazy when I paid $600 for the two in 2007, they are now almost $1000 apiece. ?
  15. G. David Felt
    Stolen then? Sad when a nice auto gets munched.

    Have a couple of Steelcase Ergo chairs, very comfy. Had them since 2007. Love all the adjustments to get just the right comfort.

    I feel that you would pick this up and slam that nose onto a tough piece of beef to tenderize it.

    54 Rocks! your in your mid life stretch!

    Like the interior and suicide doors, be interesting to see final production of one.

    HELLO MB, Are you STUPID or What? Main crowd wants electric that blends in, not stands out and this would appear to be a lets make it looks weird and stand out so we do not sell any as we want to be the pollution auto of the 21st century! This tells me MB is not as serious about electrics as others. Again, so much for the Best or nothing, NOTHING it is!
  21. G. David Felt
    Totally agree with that, I have a nice chair my company got me as I was wearing out a chair a year due to my size, they got me a David Size chair and it is so comfy and has been solid with me for 3 years now. Love the color and what looks to be a very comfy chair plus HELL YEA to the Cooling and heating part of the chair! Sadly, they will not hear from me as I do not Tweet!, Useless tool that I will not bother setting up since I really do not want another account to manage.

    Odd random 1990 Mazda Eunos Cosmo 2 door coupe. https://jalopnik.com/?jwsource=em

    Seems while Europe gets the smaller ID4, the US will get a bigger ID4 as the first of the EV's to be built in Chattanooga, a total of 3 EVs within the next 18 months and according to the current leadership, VW is to be a global all EV leading auto company and within 10 years EVs only in Europe and China markets. https://www.autonews.com/frankfurt-auto-show/vws-ev-crossover-us-will-be-called-id4

    Sharp looking 2 door coupe that will please those looking for such a small car. Price is actually not bad considering all the $50K compact CUVs out there today.

    Tweaked Tesla P100D spotted in Germany, maybe prepping to attempt a record at Nurburg ring. It has street legal Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires and changed fender bulges for bigger tires along with a changed nose to allow better airflow to brakes, motors and battery. Bigger lip spoiler. Seems if they do beat Porsche time, this would still not be valid as this is a one off car and not production which is what Porsche used to set their record. https://www.autoblog.com/2019/09/11/tesla-model-s-p100d-spied-near-nurburgring/#slide-2168656
