  1. How about Blackout edition? Course I have mixed feelings on adding more fender flares like they did on this. Chevy has nice flares but Meh nose for me.
  2. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/04/elon-musk-mocks-sec-as-shortseller-enrichment-commission-days-after-settlement.html I have to say while he is a prick, he can make me laugh! SEC = Shortseller Enrichment Commission He really should focus on making his company profitable and hurting the short sellers the best way possible by making the stock price go up! ?
  3. Greater Seattle area during the morning from 5am to 9a, and from 2:24pm to 7pm you can get an express bus into / out of Seattle every 5 min. Makes it really nice to get around on the bus system. Course they are building a crazy overpriced lite rail too so the next 5 years will be interesting to see the options we get for mass transit. No road expansion, money is all going into the buses and lite rail.
  4. So you would be happy with this in your Driveway!
  5. So true, the majority of truck buyers do not need or want all the bells and whistles. Yet the dealerships order them this way and as such you end up with Truck Envy and Luxury truck over a practical daily driving truck. Prices need to drop by half.
  6. The Conti sells terrible and mostly due to the cramped interior space. That car sucks for comfort of space inside. Even with average people in the front, big people cannot get in the back. I like the looks of the Conti, but the space restrictions inside is a deal breaker. I suspect many others also find the interior to be way too tight for a car that size. Plus majority of people want a CUV weather they need it or not.
  7. Seattle you see a ton of A8's on the Road, I have yet to see a Conti in the wild here. Course German, Asian and GM is the core of what you see here except for the over abundance of F150, Ram, Chev & GMC trucks everywhere.
  8. Yes, yes I do! PNW = Tree Huggin, Weed Smokin, Make Love, Not War, Contemplate the Universal big questions!
  9. lol, sorry, I have only played Forunza (Spelling?) and I honestly do not remember which version Alex my son has as he plays all the time. I just play when he either brings it over to my house or we go to his and play.
  10. Stevens is awesome tons of open terrain and easy to get up and down from. Nothing like the craziness of getting to the greater tahoe lake area.
  11. People riding the bus for work want an autonomous auto for errands before and after work. I hear plenty of people would rather not have to think about driving, just live their life doing what they like.
  12. with my son call of duty mostly, though I did buy the Atari game pack so I could play the old games with the wife. Specifically had to buy the Namco for Pacman and Digdug. I also like and have the dancing games with the camera as my wife and daughter play it competing against each other. If your a tomb raider fan those are fun. Halo, Doom, Assassin Creed are my focus. I have not played yet but want to try the new Wolfenstein II. If not playing with my son, then when I do play it is on my computer. Doom, Half-Life, Wolfenstein series. First Shooter is my personal fun time.
  13. I am being very optimistic as I do hear from all types but especially those that are on the bus commuting in how they would love to not have to drive, just tell their auto where to go and not even think. So I am hopeful for those that do not want to drive but have to will grab at the ability to reduce their poor driving on the public roads.
  14. XBOX Baby, my son has this and playstation 4, he did buy a wheel and pedal setup as he plays way more than me. But gaming is fun even at 50.
  15. They actually do go together when you think of it in the terms of how many IDIOTS are out there driving scared and should have never been given a drivers license. Driving is a privilege earned and for the rest that really do not care about driving, let them have these autonomous auto's, stay in the right lane and out of my way on the left. Anything that reduces the morons camping in the far left lane going 20 under the posted speed limit is a blessing. Especially the stupid slow Prius drivers.
  16. I am very Happy for Fall and the rain. Cleaning out the ash / smoke from all of Canada's and eastern Washington fires is a nice breath of fresh air!
  17. This morning at the Lynnwood Park n Ride, got to see a brand new 2019 Chevy next to a 2019 Ram. The owners were exchanging info and while each complimented each others truck, they of course loved their truck they bought. With that said, I am now solidly in the RAM is way better looking than Chevrolet this year. The cardboard bailing front end of the Chevrolet is even more of a mess in person than in the pictures. PASS on Chevrolet, Ram for the Win!
  18. Ya have to remember to give @ccap41 his senior discount!
  19. The amount of money being invested into autonomous driving really leads me to think we will have some revolutionary changes in personal transportation in the near future. The next 10 years should be exciting.
  20. Simple marketing and expectation. Nothing wrong with performance focused on every level, you have a natural auto company then. But AMG has been marketed and sold as the ultimate performance auto of a class of auto. If you start putting AMG on every model in that class, you have diluted it and taken away the specialness of the premium you sell AMG for. Having as has been done an A35 and A45 AMG auto, you are saying these are better than the one's below, but not the best and you have diluted the AMG logo. A35 should just be a performance sport model not an AMG model. You already have just packaging versions of AMG as you also do with BMW M line. This also dilutes the specialness of a true performance focused AMG or M line.
  21. NO MAN is the best, always someone who can beat another and right now his ARROGANCE is showing in this multiple levels of performance in a auto class. Performance should be only a single top level and the rest below it are various levels of the standard auto. This has been proven over and over again in diluting and killing a brand specialness. AMG might as well just go out and be their own stand alone brand then if they want every level of an auto class to have AMG on it.
  22. WOW, Sucking it for all it's worth old man!
  23. Personally I think a performance model at each class size is needed by all OEMs. Yet having two in the same class as they have here A35 and A45 is a bit overkill and I do have to think that they are diluting it. A35 should be a Sport model, not the AMG. That is the top of the line power monster.
  24. Guess the best or nothing is proving itself as nothing for buyers with 3 months of continued sales loss, lack luster Van sales and the MB dealerships having vans front and center on their lots rather than cars / cuvs. It really is an amazing tell when you go by a LUXURY dealership and see cargo vans as the predominant auto on the lot. One has to go Hmmmmmm! ?
  25. So preloading your hype of MB Sales only makes it 48K versus 166K still nothing to crow about nor is vaporware talk about local production. Wait n See!
