A couple of Montreal connections (maybe too political for some, so I'll omit naming names. I just learned about this tidbit of info from my wife today) Its the imagery of this video in the beginning that Im getting a kick out of and what Im thinking EXACTLY right about now. And last but not least, a song that I was just introduced to 2 days ago.

@A Horse With No Name Laughing at the Halloween scene. I felt sorrow for the rest of your post.

I bet if Elon Musk cologne was a thing, it smell like....weed.

Terrain! Terrain! Pull up! Pull up!

I dont particularly like the Jag E Type myself. I dont know what it is about it that rubs me the wrong way, but I just analyzed one and I think its what you just described. Very sleek car. Sexy on top as you described it. Awesome very long hood and very short deck. But yeah...now that you mentioned it, its the bottom that I cant stand as there is nothing going on. Non-existent front and back end below the bumper. Tooo much exhaust exposure on the bottom due to lack of body panels. Sure it makes it look sleeker, but like you say, it lends itself to be un-complete. If it had a more complete bottom, it wouldnt take away from the sleekness as the very very long hood and very very short deck and the cabin being back there would still keep it a very sleek design. I also dont llike the grill. Catfish mouth and face....

My criteria is not as elaborate and refined as yours. I will eventually learn to critique the way you do. Im open to it. Ill ask you why you feel that way so I could pick your brain from time to time.

^^^ I should have known. We've had a similar talk a few years back about a certain Ferrari. Its ALWAYS about the bigger picture with you. The WHOLE package. The WHOLE car. Yes. Ill have to agree with you. Especially with the picture of the Corvette side by side, the front end seems desperately lacking in the DB5. PS: I saw all that you explained before you wrote it. I had time to sneek in my post before you added your explanation.

Well... opines like these are personal, and I wont grill you for the Jenson as I could see why some folk wont find it beautiful, but for the the Aston Martin DB5...I find it perplexing that you dont like it...

Quebecois somewhat let their guard down right after the summer was over. Our politicians had to wrestle us back into reality. When the schools opened up, we got huge spikes of infections. Lockdowns happened again, albeit not all over the province, but in the "red zones". The most problematic. Lockdowns are still in effect as we speak, our cases have been stabilized, but at an average of 1000 new Covid cases/day, not exactly great news. Our deaths are about 7-8/day. Sometimes we get 20-25 deaths for a couple of days then we drop down to 5 or fewer deaths for 4-5 days in a row. Our hospitalizations are not quite critical, but we arent exactly on the cusp of being in control either. We are getting restless about the whole thing though. The confinements, the mask wearing. XMAS is just around the corner and our doctors and politicians are fearing the worst in us in that we wont respect isolating ourselves from visiting our friends and family and avoiding "super spreader" gatherings during the upcoming holidays. We barely got through our Thanksgiving. As a society in Quebec, we dont see a near future where vaccines are a reality. We as a society do see our near future as a pain in the ass to get around life as we do understand that Covid will be with us for quite sometime still. But we are also quite fed up with it and I think we are just about ready to give up on the cautious way of living and just say phoque it! I hopes that we Quebecois could hold it together for just a tad more longer.

I dont like BMW, but hey...this is an EV thread after all...

Ill meet the Hummer sometime later in the day. Thanx!

Great info here!

Hi! Who goes there?!

somebody in government, should suggest that. Where will this idea come from since most politicians are brain dead, corrupt or both? How 'bout somebody in the general population raise awareness, get steam behind THAT idea and force the government to do just that. Democracy is actually run that way... Declaring one's self as the winner in an un-finished election is...um...not. But I am digressing again.

Everybody has got some sort of plan to try to get of off the internal combustion engine for personal transportational needs. Even Greece for crying out loud. An almost third world country at times since the Ottoman empire blazed through. A not so much better than a third world country since she gained her freedom back including her bankruptcy a decade ago. Diesel scandal or not, it seems the Greek people and government, (in a more or less honest and ideal democracy, the populous and the government should be one and the same...we all knwo that is quite the feat to accomplish, some say impossible but I digress) are on the same page of where the future SHOULD be regarding the earth's well being and the internal combustion engine. An American that bled General Motors, still does. He is on that same wave length. http://www.autoextremist.com/

Salsa Everybody Salsa!

That whole post above is YOU being divisive. You dont see that? Including a dig at someone else's leader. With no proof. Tyrannical....but you laughed at that... Phoquing ironic... You condone what happened on a Texas highway? You simply give excuses and you downplay the whole thing? Maybe I shouldnt have called that caravan white supremacists, regardless what I call them and who they are, that somehow excuses their behavior? In a supposed free, DEMOCRATIC "Republic" such as your country and you are OK with that? Boggles my mind... But you be you, my friend. You be you.

Like seriously now... I dont give a shyte who you vote for... Just dont try to tell me Trump is a stand-up man... and if you stop trying to convince me otherwise, I might forget that you are an idiot for following such a criminally insane a$$hole EVs please

Sure. But this aint about Biden. Its about #44 and how HE divided America. Its about how #45 is one sneaky con of a fraud. But some dont even wanna see that. Some...out of the sheer hatred of #44 give a pass to #45 to do as he pleases, because of that raw hate. The latest: Declaring he is a victor of an un-finished election. (Tyrannical and dictorial) Accusing the opposition of voter fraud. Downright criminal no matter if he is right (for the democrats') or he is lying. But the implications OF HIS ACCUSATIONS are deeper than that. One has to question his motives for doing that. He does have legal problems...very serious legal problems when (and if) his presidency is over. That in itswelf is serious talk as he said just last week, that he does NOT intend to go quietly if he loses. And in actual fact, last night, he NEVER once led at ANY time and HE declared himself victor... And now...he wants voting to stop...the counting to stop...he wants top declare himself president, he is suing two states for counting of the votes allegedly for voter fraud, yet no other REPUBLICAN party member is SHARING THAT thought... Don Jr. told a white supremacist group to "have fun" This very same white supremacist group ran a Biden election party bus off the road in Texas... Like HOLE PHOQUE!!!! What is all that? FAKENEWS? DEMOCRATS ARE THE DICTATORS? Here we are...we are still hell bent on shytting on #44, yet what #45 just done JUST the last 24 hours is a gazillion times worse than what #44 has done in 8 years. Yet Im supposed to just turn my attention AWAY from what Trump is doing to the south of me? Maybe Canadian news is lying to me? Im taking this out of context? Because Im a stupid Canadian? Because Trump is honest? Because Trump has NEVER lied? Never frauded? Yeah... The famous Fakenews. You are NOT a proud American... You are NOT boots on the ground. YOU dont live or breathe the problems and dilemmas of EVERY American and when YOU DENY the realities of of your fellow countrymen: You are the opposite. You are a danger to YOUR country. I asked you how YOU are gonna unite with your fellow American and all I giot back is more shyte rhetoric and insults. You hardly know your own rights...by defending and supporting the con you have as #45... You are even tooo stupid to see it... I pity you.

Oh yes I do... Its quite telling how you automatically believe what your "die on the hill" political figure tells you to believe. False accusations without proof. And you blindly follow that lead WITHOUT questioning it. Just repeat it. You follow world politics? How? I dont believe you. Why? JUST the way you answer me. I remember you threw a shytty link about how Canada's borders were open to certain Chinese officials while the border was closed for everybody else and you laughed at my goverment...yada yada yada. You thought that I didnt know that piece of information as if my government lies to me... I never responded to you then, because I didnt deem it worth my time... Im not naive to ultimately believe what my government tells me, but there is a reason why Canada's borders are closed and open for certain peoples. And if one wants top know why that is, one could easily find that information. If you are soooo smart as to why many Chinese officials, doctors, CEOs have entered my country when our borders are closed, please tell me as to why. I already know why.... PS: there is no conspiracy theory. PSS: There are many things BOTH of our governments dont tell us, the public, what is going on. But you and I and everybody else that is NOT in the loop will NEVER know... About my education... Never finished...university. Miised my Bachelor's by 1 year as I dropped out to open up my restaurant. Majored in marketing. Political science as a minor. You might be an excellent electrical engineer...but you are stupid in your very own knowledge of what the phoque is going in your surroundings. Like how you thought that Kaepernick's kneeling was anything else OTHER than young black males getting shot and killed by the police... Anything else is just noise. His contract Him never playing again in the NFL Disrespecting of the flag. YOU missed that. An intelligent man...sees through ALL the propaganda... His kneeling was ALWAYS about young black males betting killed at the hands of the police. Anything else is just feeding into the hidden agendas. And...when #45 defends the wrong message of disrespecting flags. I find it funny that HE was a draft dodger. I find it funny that HE missed the message of young black males getting killed at the hands of the police...yet YOU give me a shyte phoquing link to a supposed black girlfriend he had... I find it funny that he once wanted to buy an NFL team, yet the NFL snubbed him, before he was prez, and then when he became pres, he sooooo tried to undermine the NFL and cause chaos with the Kaapernick thing and he boasted how the NFL's rating are shyte because of it. No hidden agenda there for #45, right? Whethet he is a racist SOB (prolly not, but there is alot of rumors of him being a shyte landlord back in NYC regarding black folk) or a hidden agenda regarding ther NFL and him wanting to exact revenge on the NFL, (and yet, there are rumours of him being a petty SOB too) But again...poor old #45. Never gets respect. He is misunderstood. #fakenews. yada yada yada. Its funny, no other person on the planet has this kind of clout surround them. But you knew thaat, right? Because you follow world news. GTFO with that!!!!
