Before any baseball purist has my head for me calling that dude swinging on an outside pitch a loser...( swing like a loser is how I put it actually) Yes. Yes. He was protecting the hit and run play. I know that! Its the imagery I want to showcase how I feel about some of those 2019 Chevy refreshes...since Mr. Blu opened up the door for me to give my opinion on the matter. Different games...but I imagine the situation in the first GIF is the same...

More like a... little soft grounder and the 2nd baseman casually throws you...out! or swing and a miss. and in this case...swing like a loser and get your buddy out anyway...its that bad! Or get caught looking in disbelief, called 3rd strike...YER OUT!

Only if these stylistic changes are visually appealing...

I have a suggestion for the LS... I present you the LS swap option for the LS And it be true to its name...Lexus LS...no misinformation and misinterpretation open for a lawsuit. I mean, the first time a heard about a Lexus LS...I thought it had a LS V8 in it... So who's with me? Action lawsuit against Lexus for misrepresenting themselves?

I heard that too. Elon was mildly suggesting that in an interview. But I am curious about that statement he made. Yes...he did say that E belonged to Mercedes, and its true. But...doesnt S also belong to Mercedes? E Class.. Yes. There is an E Class Mercedes. But isnt there an S Class Mercedes too? I have understood for awhile now why there are some that think Elon is such a dick. I, admittedly, took some time to also think that. I like his vision for Tesla. (Minus the autonomous driving BS...although I do see the benefits of autonomous driving). Its the other shyte that he does that irks the hell out of me. And when he does shyte like that, like that Space X stunt, I feel like he takes away from Tesla. And yes, I agree with many that see those stunts as just stunts, and taking away from Tesla. I read another article that he said running Tesla was a mistake. He gave different reasons on why that decision was a mistake. One reason he mentioned is that his thinking that running a start-up car company thinking it will succeed was ridicoulos at best and that maybe, he shouldnt have invested all that time in the first place. He made it seem like making Tesla succeed is a pipe dream???!!! I cannot call him an idiot, because he clearly is NOT an idiot. But he is a just a story teller. He gets to make the movie on the story he tells by actually producing physically the story he unravels, but a story teller non the less... Why? Well... Space X is a pipe dream...yes...he did make it happen...but did he? Continual space travel is EXPENSIVE... NASA...dropped it. NASA... UNLIMITED U.S. of A. money and NASA in the end quit. Because once the US government deemed space travel a money pit, that was it for NASA going to the moon, let all one to Mars... Space X is a MONEY pit! That underground tunnel shyte he wants to build and that tube travelling thing (pneumatic tube system for humans?)... as if that is not a pipe dream? Pun intended! These concepts make Star Wars & Star Trek seem realistic. And the more he puts his energy and money into crap like that, HE REALLY REALLY DOES TESLA an INJUSTICE. All the time and money he has wasted in those pet projects, (and Tesla IS just another pet project) Tesla would have REALLY been a full fledged American car maker TODAY as we speak instead of fearfully and rightfully so of being just a footnote in the automotive history books. He should just sell off Tesla to some automotive giant that could use Tesla's proprietary engineering, cachet, battery factory to be, vast charging stations, vast consumer to be presence so all that hard work the TRUE engineers, workers, marketing peeps, future ideas and concepts dont go to waste. ANY of the big manufacturers COULD use all that intellect. They could use Tesla the badge to sell their EVs or just gut the company...but at least Tesla ideas, especially future ideas will not be lost. He is an idiot to NOT KNOW WHAT THE PHOQUE HE HAS IN TESLA!!! TESLA as a brand, in my opinion, IS BIGGER THAN PAYPAL!!! Tesla...after a relative short life so far, has a brand cachet as big as a 911 Porsche. Corvette, Mustang, Cadillac, Mercedes, BMW...Kleenex, Frigidaire, Band Aid, Coca Cola... Tesla is synonymous with fast, electric cars... Yes...Tesla is THAT big in my eyes. Rant over!

2012 Acura TL SH-AWD tech package. $54 000 and change CDN. KBB canada site $14 800 CDN. (On the higher side of a trade-in value. We will do 55 000 - 15 000 = 40 000 CDN I got 85 000 and change kilometers which translates to 53 000 miles rounded number. 75 cents CDN per mile. Which 75 cents equals to about what? 1 dollar give or take a couple of cents American? Makes sense. 5-6 year old cars is where most of the depreciation hits when buying new. And I really dont have too many miles on the odometer. You would think that Id get a higher trade-in value for my car for having low mileage. But nope. I wonder if Id have more miles driven, regardless how much lower my trade-in value would be, if my cost per mile would improve? Again, 5-6-7 year old cars is where the most depreciation happens on new cars so... THIS is a reason why Im keeping the Acura a looooong time. Im gonna amortize her properly. If nothing catastrophic happens of coarse. Accident or a very serious repair cost. Before getting married, Id change my cars every 5-6 years. Bought them new and change them. With a wife and kids to feed, that formula changes quickly... My Impala SS. 2005. I changed her at 7 years. ONLY because some dumb driver backed into my front passenger door and dented the hell out of it. The door open and closed OK...the repair job was only gonna be 600-800 CDN dollars. But the thought of my car being dinged badly got me uptight. I wanted to keep her longer than 7 years but... Also, I was getting at the point where many regular maintenance issues were about to show up like change the battery and other costly regular maintenance stuff plus the door window mount had failed. 300 dollar repair job the year prior. That same year I hit a pothole damaging a ball joint and control arm.... that I said..phoque it. Ill just use the money that Im gonna spend maintaining her on a new car. No more money on the Impala. So far I have not put money into the Acura needlessly. Im lucky for that.

My outdoor cabanon door has sagged a little after this years long and icy winter. That would be shed for you anglophones. I also dropped a drinking glass on my ceramic flooring in my kitchen yesterday morning. The glass shatttered in a million pieces. There is not much you can do about this as I vacuumed the mess up. Maybe you wanted to know about it though!

Further off road? Like what? Off a cliff?

Yes. Charger! And now that you mentioned Silverado. I see it too!!! I just feel like I do NOT want to post a pic of the Silverado. I just ate delicious chicken wings and I want them to stay in my belly!

I prefer the revised face. Not that it makes a difference on how I feel about the 5th and 6th generation Camaro. But I do prefer this face than all the other faces the Camaro has donned since the 5th generation that spilled unto the 6th gen. The black bumper one...Im on the fence. It reminds me of another car. I cant put my finger on what car it reminds me of. The body coloured bumper one is OK in my books. Now if they could change the entire body line of the damned thing... Those pseudo 1969 body lines that really dont look like 1969 Camaro have been with us for ever. its time to let go. I will admit, the 6th gen IS sleeker and nicer than the bulkier 5th gen. The 6th gen being a tad smaller is a plus too. But this style is old, stale and dated. If Im not buying the V8 version of this car. Any V8. Then Im buying the 2.0T. So a 2.0T 1LE is welcomed in my world. Same with the Mustang. If I aint buying the V8 versions. Than the ecoboost is where Im at. But the big bad Challenger is where Im at. Even if its older and staler than the Camaro. Truth be told though, Im ready for a new Challenger and a new Camaro. The Mustang is AWESOME!!!

MMMmmmm.... Bunker is definitely a problem... But with me...the styling has GOT to be the #1 reason I HATE the Camaro. That and the Bumble Bee thing. The Bandit was a cool movie car. KITT was a cool movie car. The General Lee was a cool movie car. Starsky and Hutch's red tomato was a cool movie car. Bullitt Mustang was one hot ride! The many riced up ricer cars from the F&F franchise such that orange Supra, red RX7 with the similar iron man graphics, the pink S2000 were cool movie cars. The many rides of James Bond, including the stale BMW 7 Series of the mid to late 1990s were cool movie cars.... *SIGH* Bumble Bee was a VW Bug originally. Strike #1. No...Im not a purist. I dont care for Transformers. But right there, strike #2. Freakin Transformer's man! James Bond, Starsky and Hutch, Burt phoquing Reynolds as the phoquing Bandit, man! Steve phoquing McQueen as Frank Bullitt. Need I say more? Steve motherphoquingQueen! Lets go back to the VW Bug... A hippie peace loving symbol. Herbie for phoque's sake. Which in itself was a cool movie car! And with the 5th generation, this is the legacy that Chevy wants to replace...At least when they redid Knight Rider, Ford jumped right in at the chance and made one hot Mustang! OK...the Firebird was uniquely awsome and taylor made for the 80s...so the KITT Mustang redo felt a tad corny, the Mustang itself oozes sex. The 5th generation Camaro oozes...retardation. For our PC world, the Camaro oozes chemical imbalances. The so called shyte box ride that Megan Fox found yucky is tons cooler. Including the time worn dents and rust. Next time Ill be discussing 5th and 6th generation Camaros, I wont hold back to how I truly feel about it!

Well...maybe not a hot hatch based on an econo-box car... BUT...a hot hatch CUV should DEFINITELY be in the cards... The XT4-V should be a given. It should roll out next year. (A year after the regular XT4 rolls out) Propulsion: Anything that makes the XT4 go like stink. With the super duper magnetic suspension set-ups and active sway bars and xtra large pizza sized brembo brakes that go along with that.... XT5-V should also be a given. If Ford will do a Ford Edge Sport, then you could bet the farm that Lincoln will follow suit. And the Germans are already there. So...the ΧΤ5-V should be in the showrooms...like YESRTERDAY. Too soon? OK...by September 2018 then! The electrics are coming... It seems to me all those GM electric cars GM promised would mostly be Cadillac badged.

Well, to be honest. I have never heard him say that he does NOT love you. So...yeah!

Nobody tole me. Im Greek!

Im surprised you are even allowed to mention about Greek love... Where you come from its a sin... Where you come from its frowned upon, its denounced and its verboten... I wouldnt be surprised though, that where you come from, those people that vehemently denounce it, are sooooo flamboyantly immersed in Greek love, they cant even drive straight...

Its near Greece!

And Quebec!!! http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-adopts-california-car-emissions-standards-1.837227

That all dépends on you and how goes your heart...

Good. Now that some negatives have poured in, I could now unashamedly do some bashing of my own of the re-freshed Malibu. The new Big Mouth Billy Bass face of the Malibu looks like shyte! On the Cruze, it aint that much better. The Fusion re-freshed face is a million times better. And that too is a year older than the Malibu.... I CANNOT believe Ford is thinking about ditching the Fusion. About the CVT transmission. I heard a rumor that CVT transmissions are really not all that reliable. Nissan's CVT to be exact. The steel belt...unlike Superman, is not indestructible. So why for the possible headaches?

And because I mentioned the words "a little ditty". I would now like to recite to you a little ditty about Jack and Diane. Jack and Diane were two American kids growing up in the heart land. Jack was to be a football star while Diane lost her virginity in the backseat of Jack's car. Just to say...that life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone. We might as well hold on to sixteen as long as we can, we are only young once you know, never regret a thing you do, repent and marry the girl you love, even if you had pre-marital sex countless of times with her. Treat her right. Life goes on. Yup...Jack and Diane, doing the best they can! Now...Im gonna sing it you. Well. Not me. A nice American boy by the name of John, THE cougar, Mellencamp will. I forgot...you now must throw a little rock. You got to let it roll! Rock on!

Yes. And thank-you. I knew this of course. Your comment just reinforces my thought processes!

At that point in time...I had 1492 love points. (Not that I look at those, but I like to observe numbers...and when I do, I see and relate to them in different ways... In 1492, Columbus sailed the Ocean Blue. A little ditty that helped us remember in history class what year Christopher sailed and discovered...America.

I see what you are getting at. Questions. If a less capable fullsizer is to be engineered, because I would assume that the frame would be not the same frame, as the 10 000/15 000 lbs hauler frame the current quarter ton trucks offer: 1. Would that be an added cost to the development of the fullsizer of a 5000-7000 hauling F-100 frame as opposed to a 10 000 F-150 frame? Keeping of course the same external body panels, truck beds, mirrors, tires, windshields, doors, lights, dashboards etc... 2. If a fullsizer could have a lesser capable frame that of a "regular" quarter tonner, keeping of course the same truck but not the frame, why would a mid-sizer be of use? 3. Assuming the lesser framed quarter tonner, would also be more fuel efficient than its more capable brethen, because of a less sturdy frame and hence lighter frame and hence more fuel efficient....so... 4. If #3 is the case, is it safe to say that all these wannabes that wanna own a fullsized truck because bigger obviously means bigger dick and larger ballz, if Ford, Dodge, Chevy and GMC would offer a less capable fullsizer, and the less capable fullsizer is ACTUALLY MORE fuel efficient, and the wannabes wont have ANY TELLTALE SIGNS that their dicks are smaller and their ballz produce less semen, would it be safe to say that a 50 MPG-54 MPG CAFE is more plausible? WITHOUT having to resort to rolling back the CAFE numbers? Just a SERIOUS question on a SERIOUS thought... And yes...JUST because we COULD buy what we WANNA buy does NOT mean WE HAVE to buy JUST because WE COULD!!!! Meaning.... NO! I do NOT want the government DEMANDING me WHAT it is I HAVE to buy... But OBVIOUSLY...not ONLY North Americans anymore, but the whole bloody planet in 2018, we ALL have become VERY VERY SELFISH!!! Corporations DO NOT give two shytes about the welfare of OUR planet... MONEY... Money is NOT the END ALL BE ALL in the HUMAN quest of happiness... and MONEY is CERTAINLY NOT the answer to Humanity's original question of "why are we here?" JUST SAYIN'!!!
