A little late. But I got to post a tribute to the late Tommy Lasorda. From a Montreal point of view. He pitched for the Dodger's farm team, the Montreal Royals. (Brooklyn that is) https://www.nhl.com/canadiens/news/hab-at-heart-tommy-lasorda/c-886339 I saw this game live on TV. It was an epic game. Extra innings into the wee hours of the night. 19 or 20 some odd innings. And of course, the run in with the Philly Phanatic is just soooo...much more... RIP Tommy

You didnt put a spell on me... YOU CYBER BULLIED ME! Not that you scarred me, or you put a spell on me. But you continue to MOCK me. Its really tough posting in here. It really is...

I remember shyte. You troll. I dont. Maybe you forget your trolling. I dont. YOU have BULLYIED me, and OTHERS for 3 long phoquing years regarding EVs... You STILL do. Then YOU whine when YOU get the same medicine BACK at you. Then YOU call THAT scary. Why is it scary? Because I for one, have had to think LONG and HARD before what I WANTED to post JUST NOT to OFFEND you. Downvotes YOU whining I, asking you for a rebuttal. YOU MOCKING ME Lather, Rinse, Repeat I post a subject on an EV YOU downvote I plead why YOU mock me Lather, Rinse, Repeat YOU FALSE post about EVs I ask why you think that way. You MOCK me I give you a rebuttal YOU downvote YOU mock me in saying I write encyclopedias You NEVER give ME a rebuttal Lather, Rinse, Repeat I post a pic of an EV YOU downvote it I ask why YOU FALSE post about EVs I ask why you think that way. You MOCK me I give you a rebuttal YOU downvote YOU mock me in saying I write encyclopedias You NEVER give ME a rebuttal Lather, Rinse, Repeat FOR THREE LOOOOONG PHOQUING YEARS! YEAH...I HAVENT FORGOTTEN WHY? I post about EV YOU downvote it I ask why YOU FALSE post about EVs I ask why you think that way. You MOCK me I give you a rebuttal YOU downvote YOU mock me in saying I write encyclopedias You NEVER give ME a rebuttal Lather, Rinse, Repeat FOR THREE LOOOOONG PHOQUING YEARS!

Yeah...you got a downvote. For me, there isnt anything else like a GM A-Body from 1968-1972. The Mopar B-Body from roughly the same time period is a very close second. The thing is. I like to reminisce about the past. I dont like living in it. Those cars...and days...are gone. We SHOULD dream about them. But to look "forward" to them? NAH! ITS OK. Id respect YOU a lot more if you had the COHONES to move FORWARD in life. Life aint static... I remember the time YOU downvoted ME for WANTING a CLONE 4-4-2 with a FABRICATED BODYSHELL FROM DYNACORN with Telsa powertrain and batteries... And low and behold...you are EXACTLY in MY position 3 years later after YOU downvoted ME... There is your answer...as to why I downvoted you.

Do you really want me to explain and in the process open up old wounds?

Well, if those had the 2.8V6 under the hood, they'd be tough to beat. That 2.8 had 140 HP and as much torque at the very least. Which were very respectable numbers for the mid-1980s. I really do not know what they were used for, but the Montreal police department had many on patrol back in the day. We also had mid-1980s K-Car minivans too. But they were more like paddy wagons thouhg. I cant seem to find those on google. Only the recent ones.

Could be that those Celebrities were liason vehicles. They were used everywhere though. Like I saw them everywhere back in the day. Anyway...my dad had bought a 1986 version. I wanted the Eurosport 2.8 liter, but my mom had the final word and we ended up with an iron duke powered base...base base....base version of the Celebrity. Roll up windows. AM radio. 2 speakers. I ended up blowing up 1 speaker eventually... But I did have the time of my life with that car. Bench seat in the front. Cute French girls that I dated... Fogging up the windows... Yup...time of my life in that car.

2 door cop cars courtesy of the Montreal po-po department. I betcha that the next police car from Montreal Ill post will blow your minds. (and not in a good way) I had forgotten about them. Dafuq was Montreal thinking when they opted for these?

^^^ That is still one ugly EV. It wont send the world on fire... On another note USA 1 Canada 0 US just scored for Juniors Gold in Hockey. (basterds!) (just kidding)

You didnt answer me. You are a troll. You have 3 people here that defend you. Good for them. But you still remain a troll. Now...I got to help my son with his homework. Good luck to you, Blu.

Wont happen with either Tesla nor Fisker. It will be a FoMoCo, GM, Toyota, VW that will give the masses an EV that they could afford.

And as usual OCNBLU just mocked, downvoted and trolled with NO rebuttal. Balthazar answered for him. But I did not ask his daddy to help him.

Tell me why? back up your claim Im at work. I finish at 5 PM Eastern You got until then to rebuttle

Hmmmm. Interesting thought. You must like cherries because you pick. David also created a special Alternative Fuels thread because Blu had plenty of red and white whine with his cheese regarding too much EV talk (in this thread). And guess what? He trolled endlessly in THAT thread AGAINST EVs bullying everyone that wanted to enjoy EV talk. Wait. There is more. David never ONCE complained that the talk strayed away to ICEV on occasion. ? PS He doing it again with his false narrative

Lincoln Continental

I havent had moose-kaka (my big fat greek wedding reference) in a long time. My wife is like you. She dont like it tooo much, so she wont make it. I like eggplant parmigiana but my favorite would be fried eggplant. Yes...of course, with tzatziki on the side. With those flour battered "melitzanes" , would be fried tomatoes. Oh...I should have called out your name when I mentioned other posters I like to chit chat with in here. You obviously is someone I enjoy chit chatting too. Surrreal is another. I feel like Im giving an acceptance award speech to which Im thanking everybody but Im also missing many others in my speech. (from a selfish point a view) I hope that the vaccines will work and enough of us phoquers will be vaccinated by (Greek Orthodox) Easter (including my family and I) so I could enjoy some necessary quality time with family and friends EATING (Greek foods) on such a sacred religious day. Would seem appropriate... (Hope while being in company with loved ones on the day we celebrate our Saviour sacrificing himself for us) Talking about moussaka and fried tomatoes and XMAS just passing us by made me miss my extended family and friends... (saddened eyes and spirit)

I have faith in him in that he will stop trolling. I dont like to use the ignore feature. Its a neat feature. But seeing as we arent teenagers in these parts...

Ive got several favorite liveries.

Too soon If I say "you snooze, you lose" to you?

Actually. The Model 3...as an EV vehicle...is a SMASHING HIT success. https://cleantechnica.com/2020/03/10/tesla-passes-1-million-ev-milestone-and-model-3-becomes-all-time-best-seller/#:~:text=Tesla is the first of,the LEAF almost 10 years. Tesla...for 2019 and Im assuming for 2020 too https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202002/17/WS5e49c4c0a310128217277e35.html#:~:text=Tesla topped the world as,international electric vehicles sales database. That would make Tesla #1 in their respective marketplace. Both in year to year sales and as an all-time EV manufacturer. Yeah...I know...moot point when in comes to profits. But...as I said before, Tesla has monetary backers that simply wont let Tesla die... Just like GM, yet, GM's luster is dulling fast and if the Lyriq fails to entice consumers, and IF sales are worse than Audi's E-Tron....yikes for GM. And its quite the possibility as even Audi's over all sales IN THE US, are HIGHER than Cadillac's. (moot point for luxury cars not necessary for being high. Audi does have VW to fall back on as Cadillac has Chevy/Buick/GMC to do the heavy lifting. And Lyriq sales NEED to be high enough...I would think HIGHER than the E-Tron JUST BECAUSE its about EV dominance for the new frontier that is EVs) Anyway you slice it...Tesla and their Model 3 and Model S are #1 brands in the EV world WORLDWIDE. Tesla > everybody else Model 3 > everybody else Model S > everybody else We COULD discuss their lack of profits if we wanna diss Tesla, but as a brand...Tesla is unbeatable.

Well, it has to take a manufacture to step up to have a business plan that sells EVs to the masses. I guess THAT business plan is frowned upon just yet. The Ford Mach-E is not quite in that price range. But its the right type and size of EV to BE sold to the masses at an affordable price to BE successful in the market place. About the Nio. Its a sedan. In an SUV/CUV world, even it it were priced at a theoretical price of 38K, I dont think it sell well. The Model 3 sells well. Its a Telsa. Tesla is God right about now... Nothing they do could do no wrong in the market place. Well, the Cybertruck may fail. it has ALL the ugly ingredients that logic states it will fail. But then again. Its Tesla. Tesla is God right about now. Tesla is shredding all previous rules and creating their own...

Well...it WAS funny either or. Its too bad that I wanna make a point with your hypocrisy. THAT is the BLU I want back though. The funny Blu. The interesting tales Blu. I could live without your disparaging opinions MAINLY because YOU dont accept discourse. THEREFORE when I see shyte that dont jive...I WILL make sure YOU know about it... That would include your confusing emoji voting and laughy shyte you do... That falls under the "insulting my intelligence" category... If YOU refrain from the DISPARAGING opinions OR if YOU engage in discourse REGARDLESS of how DISPARAGING your posting style may be...I wont have a problem. Continue on the way you are now...and it be fireworks every. single. time. I promise you that.

Its not an EV. So...are you gonna downvote what I just said? Or are you gonna RESPECT MY preference for EVs? Tough choice you got there...

A decade is both a short period of time as it is a long period of time. Technology advancements in a decade's time frame is EONS from now. A decade ago, 13 years ago to be exact, Apple shook up the world with their iPhone. A decade ago, 12 years ago to be exact, Tesla introduced the Roadster. A decade ago, 11 years ago to be exact, GM went bankrupt. A decade ago, 8 years ago to be exact, Tesla shook up the world with their Model S. its not Tesla's fault that other OEMS are shuffling their feet with EV technology. Tesla is a DECADE ahead in EV tech with some OEMs... In a DECADE from now, when guvment schlubs have mandated that ICEVs are no longer acceptable and banned, imagine where EV tech will be? GM VW TESLA FoMoCo Volvo Toyota and many many others are full steam ahead with their BILLIONS of dollars of R&D in ADVANCING EV tech and infrastructure. In the LAST decade, TESLA would be the ONLY one to concentrate on EV tech. And TESLA has really upped that bar to which they are LITTERARLY a DECADE above everybody else... At the turn of the last century, automobile advancement was made fast BECAUSE there were MANY players. Many failed. But many picked up the pieces where the others failed. TESLA...has many backers that WANT the company to succeed. No different than when GM went bankrupt and the guvment bailed them out. Tesla also has many detractors. Again, no different than from GM when people did NOT want the guvment to bail them out. Tesla is said to have quality problems and THAT has many haters. Again...no different than for GM during GM's malaise era. EV haters dont like change. Well...tree huggin hippies of the '60s HATED gas guzzling muscle cars... Big Oil got and STILL gets guvment subsidies. The internal combustion empire got all kinds of subsidy help for infrastructure. Billions of PRIVATE money too. Guess what? Same for EVs... I could go on and on with this... Point being...guvment schlubs ALWAYS put their grubby minds and HANDS in ALL we do. Dont wear masks/Wear masks Buckle up Just say no War on Terror Weapons of mass destruction McCarthyism where everything is Communist when its not done the American way 55 MPH Speed limits CAFE Again...I could go on and on and on...
