    Yet that picture is very deceptive as the mules running around California are much lower when compared to other auto's.

    Stopping at a yummy cafe to eat, got out of the auto and saw across the street this Maverick Grabber. Very clean with the Washington state collectors plate on it. Walked across and checked out this little Grabber with the 302.

    No if's, and's or Butt's about it, the Corvette. So many wins why compared to the other two.

    Went hiking at Mt. St. Helens, saw the cherry Camaro RS with T tops. Also saw this Tesla 3 parked by my Escalade when I got back. Great they are selling, but wow just looks blah and the fit n finish leaves much to be desired.

    I personally like the looks of this over Tesla. Tesla is such a dated look and honestly, I think is going to be hurting to update their auto's due to Musk's poor focus on building a profitable company rather than pie in the sky projects all over. He is stretched to thin with the semi, pickup truck, Tesla 3 CUV and especially the Roadster 2.0. He should have focused on one to make it a profitable hit. I really hope PIF moves forward with investing in Lucid and we get this auto sooner rather than later. Yet as every delay, it becomes more common that the company will fade away and die once the traditional OEMs get their EV plans into production and selling.

    Cool new patents filed by GM for aerodynamic aids. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1118245_gm-files-patents-for-new-active-aerodynamic-aids Clearly the US is falling behind in technology and leading the world. In case all you roaling coal lovers think Coal is the future, nope, Natural Gas is especially for electrical production along with wind, solar, hydro, ya know those green energy sources.

    True, things for the bulk of those 50 plus never become mainstream to them.

    That segment is so small it is a waste of time and resources to go after. Most people DO NOT want a coupe on steroids as a CUV. Waste of effort and time for all auto companies. The Germans can continue to beat themselves up over it for the what 100-200 sold a month.

    From time to time, various manufactures will give SPIFFs on selling their hardware. I know I have seen retail folks use crazy lies to get you to buy a product they get a $25 spiff on. Yet a quick sale can come back to haunt a person if they are not careful.

    Technology is cool, but we are not there yet and I think it will take a generation, aka 10 years to get there.

    This will so make the auto's last longer and be much more comfy come this winter for you. Awesome move! @Drew Dowdell Seems really weird but since the image posting bug, the emoticons now seem to have a bug that if you use a keyboard shortcut it gives the weird image icon and the shortcut for it but does not really post the emoticon. Yet this time it worked for me. Weird even the menu now has some weirdness to it. Weird, the image showed fine of my screen capture but submitting it shows the same problem we had before with images. Must be an expansion of the bug in the software.

    @Cory Wolfe Great to hear from you, sorry to hear about your job. Stay positive always good things happen. Have you thought about going into content writing for the High tech industry or the auto industry in regards to the various positions the Auto companies have for content writing or as I stated High Tech? I know of plenty of positions where we could use solid folks creating solid quality manuals, white papers, blogs for technology. Wishing you all the best on your next adventure.

    So true, it really did start around 1940!

    We survived the 70's and 80's putting the kids there with no problem before the Gov had to protect us from ourselves!

    BMW has some ugly CUVs. The coupe thing is just VSS-S is GM's new platform, what does the initials stand for?
  19. G. David Felt
    Agree with @Cubical-aka-Moltar Green house has not really changed and other than the license plate, it just looks like a scalled down size between the 3 CT versions. Truly hope they are clearly different looking.

    OK, for those that do not want to read the long heavy testing to see who wins what, here is a recap: Features (Cores & PCIe Lanes) Winner AMD Overclocking Winner Tie Coolers (heating/power consumption) Winner AMD Motherboards Winner Intel Gaming Performance Winner Intel Productivity Performance Winner Tie Value Winner AMD Bottom Line Winner AMD

    Gotta love Toms Hardware reviews. Great review of the bleeding edge new CPUs from Intel and AMD. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-threadripper-2-vs-intel-skylake-x,5727.html?utm_source=th-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20180815-th

    For it's day when new, not a bad looking SUV, but the Envision wins hands down as the better looking ute.
  23. G. David Felt
    Yes, from an engineering standpoint all the box's are ticked and it does beat my TBSS. Take driving experience into consideration and I still would put it up against a CX9 and in most cases unless it is another well experienced professional driver would win. But your point is valid and I do agree with it from that standpoint.
  24. G. David Felt
    That would be a fun drive comparison. Unless they drastically updated the driving characteristics from the 2018 model year that I had for 2 weeks, I would say in comparison to the one I drove on my 25 wedding anniversary, that no my TBSS beats it. I doubt the CX9 could handle what I have done in the 130 -150mph range of my SS.

    LOL, I find the Mazda to be butt ugly and trying to hard to look like the rest of Mazda ugly car family. Rather take an Atlas that truly looks more SUV like and deal with a boring look but more functionality. Not ture, I love to drive and love performance as to why I own a Trailblazer SS. While not the best on interior space, it looks like a traditional SUV and drives like a Corvette out of hell. ?
