    The 1938 Oldsmobile Automatic Safety Transmission started the greater adoption of auto driving and increased safety by keeping both hands on the steering wheel. This is what eventually morphed into the 1940 Hydra Matic automatic transmission. The last of this car known to exist is going up for auction according to the Hemmings blog. This is one of 475 1938 L-38 Convertible Coupes built which is also the last for Oldsmobile with a rumble seat. The AST was a $100 option. This car also had the optional dual side mounts $65, deluze radio, $66.50, electric clock $15, fog lamps $6.25 and optional heater $15. This car is expected to sell for between $55,000 and $75,000 dollars. Yes as this car started the automatic transmission story, the event of electric cars seems to be ending it as the lack of need for a transmission is pretty common. The only exception to this is in 200 Mph EVs. Seems technology is truly replacing what allowed for mass movement of people in a new form. Green Car Report Story

    Very cool additional details on the ZR2 Bison. https://www.theblock.com/article/2018/september/the-colorado-zr2-bison-is-here.html Gotta love this video:

    So jazzed about this movie: Anyone else excited to see it?

    Nice, but the front end looks like a squished beer can.

    Very cool, will be interesting to see how this shakes out!

    They could easily kill off most of their cars and a good amount of niche CUVs as I doubt they bring in any more profit to the company. Someone on the board is going to have to challenge this attitude of build a car and CUV in every class and make sure every little hole has a special something as it is the right thing to do. Nope this just proves it. I suspect MB is going to have to cut models too as the global slow down in auto's will prove out that only selling 100 of a niche model is not profitable for every class.

    Maybe a Chinese company is the next Edsel.

    I miss my 1969 Ford Camper Special Pickup. It was an awesome truck that just always ran and never gave me any problems. Yet career took off and I had to move out of state, so extra auto's were sold.

    Course the big plastic on the bottom also looks like Shit. @ocnblu did it right on his truck when he removed it. Course the ZR2 is not bad looking. Would like this package on the GMC.

    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.

    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! ?

    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.

    So you would be happy with this in your Driveway!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Yes, yes I do! PNW = Tree Huggin, Weed Smokin, Make Love, Not War, Contemplate the Universal big questions!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
