Mine would be the mid 1980s Countach with all the plastic aero bits on it. Then the Miura. From the modern Lambos, I only like the Reventon which was a limited edition re-worked Murcielago. The Aventador which kinda has Reventon looks would be my last modern Lambo that I like. @Robert Hall I was JUST gonna post the Iso Griifo! LOVE IT!!!! (edit: post merged...)

There is only ONE place on planet Earth that potholes are worse than Detroit's. THAT would be Montreal... Crabwalk wont help us. The EV Hummer wont help us. We dont need military level off-roading vehicles. We need religious efforts (miracles) to avoid potholes. We need religious interventions to survive them.

Crab walk mode IS awesome. But the EV Hummer is wiiiiiiide. If it be less wide, it wouldnt NEED crab walk in an urban setting...

10 years is a long time. So is 5. Chevrolet will give us more EVs after the EUV. VW too will have something else after the id4. The economies of scale will kick in. Since Honda is gonna use GM's EV platform, battery and powertrain, we will see what Honda will do with that and how they will price them. So far, toys for the rich that seem to be worth a try. I agree. Only but a few affordable, but not really desirable or even usable(for me at least and Im assuming for your needs too) There are quite a few models that Chevrolet has not really told us about. Corvette it seems, is going EV SUV and EV 4 door sedan on us. And THAT is NEW for April 2021 speculation. True that these are gonna be richboy toys...but its also true that Chevrolet really hasnt mentioned anything about the next gen EVs on Ultium that ARE gonna be affordable. The EUV is last gen tech...

Next month. Greek Orthodox Jesus resurrects on May 2nd this year. 2 days later and its the Jedi's turn... (or am I NOT supposed to say shyte like that?) Sorry Lord for I have sinned...

Look who's talking... (about ugliness) ? The '57 is awesome. The '90 one is a brick with wheels. Literally. But I do like it. And yeah...I also like fuselage Mopars. A '69 Polara 440 would be my favorite of all. So... whacha gonna doooo 'bout it, suckaaaah?

I have no clue what 184.5" looks like. I mean I do. I just cant visualize it without any other car reference and especially when I do NOT know by heart what other cars' lengths by heart. Wiki states it and I monkey-ed it over here. It looks like wiki's info is wrong. Ill try to look for another source.

I read...and FELT...the disdain in your post. LOL So THAT inspired me to listen to: "Believe in all the good things That money just can't buy Then you won't get no bellyache From eatin' humble pie I believe in rags to riches Your inheritance won't last So take your gray poupon my friend And shove it up your a$$" Which then inspired me to view these scenes again. youtube is great for these kinds of things! And somehow, that HUMMER EV strangely makes me think that if Jay Gatsby was alive in an EV world, he would be owning it...

That is freakin' wide. I knew it was a monster of a thing, but I never thought it was that big. As per wiki the Hummer H1 has a 130" wheelbase. 184.5" length and a 86.5 inch width. This EV Hummer is as wide as a HUMVEE and it looks to be at least the same length. I guess they (gm) wanted to benchmark the HUMVEE.

I like the Hummer EV pick-up truck and I adore the SUV version now that the sUV version has been revealed. I agree with @Drew Dowdell about some dorky and ugly EVs and why they are that way, which they do not have to be. My list varies a little from his, but not by much. The Porsche and Audi sedans are sexy. Very sexy to me. Although Im starting to get over the Porsche's looks. The front end has got to go. Volvo/Polestar to me are meh. Nothing really wrong with them, but nothing too exciting. Like Volvo cars in general. BMWs all across the board are fugly, which makes that a non-EV issue, but rather a BMW issue in general. Mercedes EVs are ugly. Mercedes has a habit of producing really sexy cars, but really ugly ones too. Why didnt they go the route of sexy EVs? Rivians, like the Porsche Taycan, the front end has got to go. Too dorky lookin'. The rest of the Rivian SUV is...like any other SUV. But because this one is a boxy one, I kinda like it. I would take the HUMMER SUV over the Rivian one for sure. Jaguar EVs are meh too me. Jags usually are sexy. Their EVs are pedestrian. Tesla. Their SUVs are frumpy and ugly. The Model 3 is meh, while the Model S was once a sexy ride, but now its long in the tooth. Both Chevrolets (Bolt and Bolt EUV) are just ugly, dorky things. Hopefully Cadillac will produce some nice looking EVs. Stately and arrogant like they used to do in the '50s and '60s is what I hope they are shootin' for. Like their concepts of the 2000s and on... VW looks like they will have some great looking EVs down the line. As with Hyundai. The Faraday Future looks like it could be a sexy thing. If it ever gets to be sold...

"squeaked by" is also a hyperbole on the opposing end. "Met expectations" is more accurate. But in a stock market world where money making on speculation is king rather than any other metric and "blew past" on a 3% (under) estimate seems more appropriate to the reality of stock market money making. ('under' because the sales were OVER the estimate) The reality of it all is that when GM, Ford, Toyota, VW and others WILL CEASE to produce any more internal combustion engined vehicles, then the consumer will have no more choice between ICE or BEV. Then there is the used car world...BUT...the internal combustion vehicle WILL be banned in SOME urban markets... So...what difference does it make what choice of words we use now to describe an EV market in 2021? EVs WILL be the mode of personal transport. Consumers will NOT have that choice to make.

There is no such thing as 'herd immunity'. While 'herd immunity' is related to the percentage of vaccinated people in a population, 'herd immunity' as proposed and explained and wished upon us during the Covid-19 pandemic was purely BS. As Drew puts it: The weak shall perish. (I think we as a species, have come a long way from our animal roots to be going back to the laws of the jungle and its 'only the strong shall survive' ) When a large percentage of a society is vaccinated, the spread of disease is limited and thus protects indirectly, the unimmunized people. The chain of infection is disrupted. But that does NOT mean that the disease is eliminated. No vaccines, and sometimes humans will NOT develop natural immunization and if the disease is deadly enough, it WILL wipe us all out of existence. No 'herd immunity' in that scenario as some politicians were clamoring on about, right? Plenty of diseases out there that fall into that category. Does Covid fall into that category? I dunno. I dont want to find out either, Even if 100% of the population is vaccinated, for 100 years continually, we humans sometimes STILL dont develop 100% immunity from certain diseases either from the vaccine OR naturally. Meaning, in some humans, vaccines do not work and meaning that some diseases just know our DNA biology and there is nothing to do about it. In some diseases, as you guys know, when there is a strong enough anti-vax movement, some diseases actually come back (stronger than ever) to haunt us. Ive read that there are some babies whose mother was vaccinated for Covid-19, and the baby had natural immunization from Covid-19. But Im not sure if all human babies develop natural immunization from Covid if mommy was vaccinated. Covid-19 is said to be with us forever now. Its going to be a part of our future dispelling the possibility of the scenario I described above where there HAS been some babies with natural immunity because of their mother's vaccination. Covid-19 is a bitch of a thing. As I understand it, its not about how weak you are or out of shape. Its how your own body, your OWN DNA make-up that decides your fate on how you will cope with it. There has been healthy 20 year old athletes (male AND female) that have fallen really sick from it and there has been deaths too. Just as there has been asymptomatic 80 year olds. Covid-19 patients all have different symptoms. A wide range of symptoms. Covid-19 patients also have a wide range of body organs failing. Not all have their lungs being attacked. Some have had kidney failure only. Liver failure only. Some have had neurological failure. Some were all of the above. Some were a mixture of. Whatever your personal decisions are....just stay safe please!

I had figured since the 25th of March was last week that fried Cod (Bakaliaros) would be served with skordalia. Traditional food that is eaten on this day. 1. Evangelismos 2. Greek Independence FREEDOM Day (everybody including us Greeks say independence day...Greeks and Greece were ALWAYS independent. As a people we was always infighting with each other...but were ALWAYS independent. We fought for our FREEDOM against the Ottoman Empire...) Baklava, galaktoboureko. Cant go wrong. A little token of appreciation of you and your Italian backround! I feel like we could be bestest of friends if we ever met in real life! Bromance in effect I think!

Did you have the skordalia too? I LOVE skordalia. Dont like the cod tho...

ABSOLUTELY!!!! You too. Safe week-end!

These look good...for a Trans Am. But something like this would be best for Drew's Toronado. In my opinion of course.

I looked up the Carid sight for LED replacement headlights for Drew's Toronado and all of them are...yuck! There are some of those LED lights that look good on 2nd gen Trans Am restomods with the rectangule lights and even the mid to late 80s RWD G-Body, but on that particular Toronado... Yeah Drew, Id rather the original headlight look on them.

Greek Easter...next month. Will be boring again as no gatherings will be allowed...again.

Nah Ah! It aint me, babe! NO! NO! NO! Im bald! And honestly, Im quite fit for a mid-aged Greek fella with a stay-at-home Greek wife that owns a hot dog joint. Because...after a certain age, certain Greek men pack the poundage, especially around the waist area... But not me, babe. NO! NO! NO! It aint me, babe! Its certainly aint me, babe! Here, this is what Im saying about poundage around the waist area. NOT...a stereotype.

I take it you were/are not a wrestling type a guy... I used to watch the stuff from time to time. It was...interesting. I havent watched it since the early 2000s though. I grew up, I guess. But then again, folk who read my posts will beg to differ... Yup...Im soooo more mature now than I was back then...

Paul Bearer. He was (passed away in 2013) a WWE wrestling character "managing" The Undertaker. The Undertaker being the wrestler. The Undertaker. Paul Bearer. Get it?
