Brrrrrrrr That is toooo cold for me. (right this very moment) Even just looking at that picture is making me shiver.

Sure you have seen something like that. Especially with your Italian heritage. Come on now, dig deep into your mind. Its there. You WILL see it. Here...Ill help you out a little bit. Give you a couple of clues. a) Rallye. b) It has a Greek name of the 4rth letter in the Greek alphabet. TA DA! Lancia Delta HF Integrale

Awesome! And then when I got to the end of the video and I saw Starlight Country Cabin 1832 and 1814, another song popped into my head. In 1814 we took a little trip along with colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip. We took a little bacon and we took a little beans and we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleans.

I was pondering on that thought as to why vehicles have reached that high of a price. We cant blame EVs as like Balthy said, EVs are a very small piece of the pie. We also cant blame the switch to CUVs/SUVs over their sedan counterparts even though these types of vehicles are what the market demands. Why? Because there are PLENTY of CUVs and SUVs BELOW 40Gs that arent being bought. Or those that START below 40Gs end up crossing that line because people are opting for the top of the line versions. Or is it because automakers are pushing fully fully equipped vehicles down our throats? I dont think that is the case. Even with the new Corvette C8. People are NOT ordering the 59 000-65 000 dollar versions. I think I read somewhere that the ATP for the C8 is 80Gs. I honestly think its the consumer's demand for fully equipped vehicles that have pushed the prices to these heights. There are hardly any strippers (cars with no options rather than exotic dancers) that are available AT ANY niche. What is scary though, how long could this upward trend in prices continue?

^^^ Ah. Gotcha! I was misunderstanding and reading too much into it.

Im confused. What does the state of NJ and blowing a shyte ton of money have to do with privately owned gasoline stations in NJ being 100% fully functional and operational 100% of the time? I get you with the blowing of tax payers money as Quebec is not a stranger to that, but other than a Quebec provincial inspection from time to time to see that Quebec gasoline station owners do NOT screw the consumer over and that the pumps and the pay meter are in sync, the government does not meddle. Gas taxes and displacement taxes not withstanding. But I gotta admit, gasoline pumps in Montreal are pretty darned reliable. I havent come across too many non-functional pumps. Maybe a dozen. At the most. Its not as if the other pumps werent functional or available at that very station anyway... But to harp on charging stations for EVs is kinda stretching it. If an owner of a charging station operates with shytty and faulty chargers, HE is the one that WILL lose money in the end. Its kinda like a monopoly now, I guess. But a business opportunity to own and operate a shyte ton of these in the near future is quite promising. And when there is competition...

Yeah...yet another crazy leftist agenda asshole trying to make us buy EVs...

The state of New Jersey is responsible for the upkeep of privately owned gasoline stations?

This song is playing recently on a TV commercial . Dont remember which product (or service) this song is helping to peddle. These past few days it has been on my mind and I was going through the lyrics... On the wrong side of history is where we are at right about now. What a reversal of what this song is trying to say... How the phoque did we get here this way since 1991? I certainly did not see this coming...

I dont know where to post this... Ill post this here https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/average-new-car-price-2020/ Average new car price in the US is now @ 40 thousand US dollars. Something to think about.

And to kick off the 2020 - 2021 NHL season. My favorite top 5 retro reverse jerseys 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.

I was inspired to listen to this today. Just popped into my head. Millions of peaches. Peaches for me. Well..at least two anyway.

Plenty of times for me. Just two months ago to the place I go gas up. The problem is that...there is no problem when a pump at a gas station goes poo poo. There usually is another gas station right across the street with full functioning gas pumps. with the continual poo pooing of EVs. Trying to find the most trivial thing thinking that will deter what is the inevitable.

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
