Cream "Oh...he wants some of yours and not some of mine" ( I could relate to that whole scene)

Nothing is as heavenly yummy and tantalizing as a Pearl Milling...Company pancake.

Coincidentally, it is rumoured that the C8 E-Ray Hybrid will be ready to be sold to the public as of 2022,. BEFORE the Z06.

Common... Lets NOT blame Tesla for that kinda shyte!!!

Although in the 2nd accident, shyte Tesla software failed to detect that the Darwin contestant didnt have his hands on the wheel... BOTH Darwin postulants engineered their own deaths by NOT driving their phoquing cars... I have sympathy for their loved ones they leave behind, but I dont have ANY empathy for both of those guys... And I CERTAINLY dont blame Tesla for ANY of that.

Im not too enthused about GS either. HOWEVER...T-Type trim on a CUV/SUV would be absolutely welcomed by me. Especially if Buick did a special burgundy exterior colour paint job on them with chrome delete black trim.

Did I hear somebody say Rocket V8s and the moon? I got a song JUST for that!

Ive been reading many posts of yours in these last few years Ive been a member here. Enjoyable. There is a common theme to some of these posts. The bolded part. I am quite amazed and maybe a tad envious that you had a chance to live in many places. Although I personally dont like moving from one place to another all that much, I also kinda wish I did... (does that make sense?) Anyway.... I just thought of a song that maybe, just maybe...describes you perfectly.

I LOVE this song. probably my favorite MJ song. The video didnt age too good though. Promoting sexual assault. LOL (or at least ONLY in today's overly sensitive world)

The guy had some real talent. Genius. Ill start the MJ marathon. Love the vid. I love how girls shuffle dance. I often watch this guy's channel.

I LOVE MJ Its a disgrace what the public ended up doing to him.

At least Norway took it as a joke and replied back as a joke. Though, at the surface it seems like Norway joked back. Deep down inside, you just KNOW that the answer back was passive aggressive and downright serious. GM's Will Ferrel ads dont seem too aggressive as its Will Ferrel doing the trash talking. But Ill agree with Balthy. Not funny, and questionable as to why that kind of trash talk. Its Will Ferrel so that kinda explains the nonsense of it all, but its still not a good reason to do an ad like that. Like I said, at the surface of Audi's/Norway's response seems like a good natured reply. But if you ask me...I see some real passive aggressive shyte going on and seeing that Vikings came from Norway and that dude looked like he has Viking DNA in him, Id be second guessin' the decision of airing that ad right about now if I were the marketing exec that greenlighted that horse manure...

Get new material...

To be honest, most movie goers will not notice the odometer NOR the voice over stating the perp car probably has high mileage making that 'movie magic' change moot and/or useless. If they do notice, I guess the movie director deemed it necessary to visually 'prove' the high mileage. But in doing so...pissing off true blue car guys that KNOW the Nova has a 5 digit odometer... Which makes me question why even have a narration stating that a perp's old car "probably has high mileage". Dialogue like that brings nothing to the story telling table... And CGI-ing a stupid thing like that is just a waste of movie making time and money...

100 years ago. That was your grandfather's time. The time of Duesenbergs of which the Duesys would put Rolls Royces to shame. Which nobody today references other than a small teeny weeny part of the automotive enthusiast world. I would stop using Maybach in that kind of reference because Duesenbergs are as relevant today as Maybachs are... And quite honestly, Maybachs were ugly. Duesy's were pretty. YOU found it strange that a CT5-V Blackwing could be optioned to $125 000. Well... dont forget that a Celestiq is coming... https://gmauthority.com/blog/2020/03/cadillac-celestiq-electric-flagship-sedan-in-development/comment-page-2/ A BOUTIQUE vehicle personally and custom built to the buyer. Several posters in this forum questioned this vehicle, including yourself, because of where Cadillac was 30 years ago. However, the new 2021 Escalade PROVES that the engineers and product developers over at Cadillac finally understand what Cadillac was and is all about. YOU keep on mentioning Maybach, but fail to realize that Cadillac is REALLY going back to its beginnings. The Corvette C8 also proves what the best from General Motors could accomplish further proving that the Celestiq WILL be a true Rolls Royce competitor. The Blackwing CT6 was done for because of the push to EVs. The Cadillac money, R&D energy that is the engineering and product developers needed to step away from the CT6 to further concentrate the oush further to EVs, the BEV3 platform, the Lyriq and the especially the Celestiq. BECASUE the Celestiq is to be a BOUTIQUE, custom built by hand, all the PROPER LOGISTICS need to be in place for that to happen... YOU see it as GM beancounting and downsizing. Reality says that GM is being SERIOUS in giving Cadillac the PROPER tools to actually BECOME Cadillac again...

Try getting a manual in an AMG Mercedes sedan...

https://www.best-selling-cars.com/brands/2019-full-year-global-mercedes-benz-sales-worldwide/ Sounds impressive, right? pretty phoquing awesome, right? UNTIL...you get to THIS statement down below... Selling SUVs is not that big of a deal anymore... The REAL focus here SHOULD be...and a complete phoquing lie when analysts keep on banging the luxury car brand thing... A Class and B Class cars are NOT luxury cars. Taxi liveries of of the E Class and NOT luxury cars. The C Class is NOT downright luxury. Its Pontiac level in MOST European and Asian markets. The article does say that the C Class and E Class enjoyed sales increases as well. But when one peels off the REAL story, one realizes that Mercedes Benz does NOT sell nearly as many LUXURY cars as many idiots in the industry claim they sell... Im not going too much into detail, Ive done a similar exercise a year ago. I dont have to assume and guesstimate. Ive got cold hard numbers to work with right here. 2 339 562 - 667 000 = 1 672 562 Im NOT going to minus the taxi liveries and the Chevrolet/Pontiac trim leveled C Class and E Class and GLA and GLB CUV sales. (AND...I wonder of commercial truck sales are included in this figure as well...) But REMEMBER...THAT 1 672 562 sales number becomes soooooo much SMALLER. One thing that is being FORGOTTEN in the mix is that Daimler in 2021 will be (hot news right from the press)...Daimler will be spun off into its OWN brand. What will Daimler be peddling? The trucks. The busses. The sanitation vehicles, the lories, the public transportation busses, the military vehicles. WHY? BECAUSE APPARENTLY, image plays a BIG factor and NEWBIES that want to buy new cars today and folk that have REALIZED that A Class and B Class vehicles are NOT luxury are NOW starting to make a NEGATIVE connection to the commercial stuff that the company builds. Most of that comes from investors and the EV folk so M-B is off shooting Daimler in one direction while M-B could keep a "clean" image to sell EVs and to get investor money to build EVs. https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/daimler-become-mercedes-benz-split-trucks-unit-cars If...Mercedes is the WORLD'S most selling LUXURY car company...then WHAT is the BIG deal regarding commercial trucks? BECAUSE REALITY is that MOST Mercedes branded cars EVERYBODY sees on the roads ARE NOT LUXURY cars. But AVERAGE JOE and COMMERCIAL type vehicles. FAR from the "luxury" nameplate EVERYONE seems to be tooting. Spinning off Daimler and renaming the busses and sanitation trucks as Daimler would eliminate some of that non-luxury appeal and make it easier to sell EVs to folk that know nothing about Mercedes history... Which is IRONIC to what we are talking about here about Cadillac...

For @balthazar x2

Jealousy of a life she wished she had but could never attain would have been guess #2. LOL

For @balthazar

Diary (as in diary of a wimpy kid) (I got kids and the books and movies were quite popular with them...)

I actually like the idea for classifying the differing trim levels with the newton/meter badging. Even for ICE. Id prefer if they didnt do that with the V and Blackwing cars (which I think Cadillac does NOT put the newton/meter badge) BECAUSE the "V" logo makes a statement as is and the newton/meter badging is not needed in my eyes.

Why? What was her problem with that image? Its all positive in my book. Go to school, get an education, work hard and the world is your oyster. Lack of sex would probably be my assessment.
