Tell that to FoMoCo and Apple... AND Steve Jobs using it for his corporate suicide ways... Its a shame... BOTH are AMERICAN PIONEERS THAT CHANGED THE WAY WE LIVE and represent American ingenuity all in the name of being afraid of what the future may hold. I get it though...evolve or die...and some of us are afraid to evolve and therefore die... -
OK....the Demon is the only one that could challenge the Model S. The Hellcat however, does get destroyed...
-
But we know about this already. The Model S destroys Hellcats and Demons, Porsche 991 Turbo S, Ferrari 488 and Mclaren 570GT... Mercedes-AMG GT-R is also slower than the Model S...which is also slower than the Mercedes-AMG E63S...but that is no surprise considering the Tesla Model S has spanked cars way faster...the cars I mentioned above... Motor Trend did a gig on that actually a month ago. We actually know this even before that as like I said about Hellcats and Demons...the Model S spanks those too! Top Gear...stop wasting my time...this is #oldnews for me...

Sure... But... BECAUSE in REGIONS where MILLIONAIRES AND BILLIONAIRES live, these regions are gonna ban the sale of the ICE, like soon, Rolls-Royce does NOT want to be caught with their pants down... This is the part YOU read... BUT...these are the parts YOU WILLFULLY ignored... In the next ten years or so...if Rolls-Royce does not have any kind of EV...even the most donkey headed, horse blinders, ancient schooled (not even old-schooled as old-school is STILL too modern) status quo fight 'til the end, never change for anything or anyone conservative...is expected to ask for an EV...and why is that? Because he wont be able to buy a brand new ICE... And... A post YOU also WILLFULLY ignored by SMK Makes a lot of sense...that post right there!!!
-
I was not aware of that. Or maybe I was. Brain fart again? There is a very big disconnect with me and VW as of late.
-
About the new 4 door coupe styling of the next gen Jetta and AWD. Knowing that the CC in Europe had a 4motion option but not in the USA, I think that the Jetta WILL have a 4motion option...but in Europe only.
-
All hatches have that look. Including SUVs... (Minus GM's 3rd and 4rth F-Body pony cars and Corvettes!!!)
-
On the Audi A3/S3/RS3 Id rather the VW versions all the way through. Especially in the aesthetic department. The A3/S3/RS3 sedan looks frumpy but the Golf has all the right cues and proportions to make it a sexy hatch. Frumpy, odd proportions and the Audi badge costing extra dollars over the Veedub badge really aint worth it. Frumpy...the rear ends too soon...as if Audi is afraid to elongate it as to not reach A4 length... And because of it...this angle has odd proportions This angle looks fine...because the rear end is hidden for our immediate observational focal points... The hatch version is hot though. More mature than the Veedub. But yeah! These are MONSTERS in the performance world. I have deep respect for them!!!

Volvo News: Polestar 1 is A 600 Horsepower Hybrid Coupe from Sweden
oldshurst442 replied to William Maley's topic in Volvo
I was just about to comment how pretty it is also...but then I got to the side profile pic...and then I was like... Yeah...no thanks! The Camaro for reference does not help its cause either. (for me) -
I dont remember remembering this information. Although after reading all of your posts. Now, all of a sudden, I remember!!! So I had a little brain fart...IT HAPPENS! OK?! Thank-you all for answering me.
-
Im all for it! I LOVE 4 door coupe styling! But...where does the CC fit into all of this?
-
I liked how you stayed calm and stayed away from him. You did not give in to road rage. And yes...that sorta thing happens all the time for me. Ive learned to deal with it. Like how you said later in your posts... I dont go right away when the light turns green (green light for me)and I Iook both ways before I advance making sure there is nobody running the red light (red light for them). I said that I was gonna get a dash cam when your accident happened. I havent yet. But I will. By XMAS I should have one for myself and my wife. A XMAS gift for myself. (I dont really buy anything extravagant for myself during the course of a year...I do that for XMAS and a Dash Cam for 2 cars will be that gift I give myself this year)

I dont think its as much as having a soul as it is about having an obligation. To the Canadian Government in helping them with the bailout. And to the Canadian peeps as it was their money that they got during the bailout...remember...Canadian dollars were also given to them and maybe GM feared a backlash of the Canadian peeps if they had shuttered this plant down this way... Canadians do buy a lot of 'Noxes...and Cruises...and Volts...and Camaros... Remember...'buy American' or 'Make America Great Again' does not have the same punch here...ESPECIALLY concerning the auto industry...ESPECIALLY when America's recent trade policies regarding soft lumber and Boeing's recent tactics concerning Canadair's C Series and with Trump's confusing NAFTA speeches... I think GM bit the bullet for another 4 years....prolonging the agony...as it might sting them less in 4 years to close the plant then had they decided to close the plant now...it would hurt our feelings more now then it will 4 years from now.

Buy an EV...dont want an EV? Nobody is forcing you to do anything... Its a free country and you can buy anything you want... You are also free to whine and complain...that works too..I guess...
-
That left lane...yeah...the reserved Bus and Taxi lane... Well...its also a reserved 3 or more peeps and EV lane... My tax dollars go to EV people and they have their own lane! I feel discriminated against!!! Im suing the guvment! Is Cochran still alive? No! OK...Il get this guy...on discount as I wouldnt be able to afford Cohran anyway as all my money goes to those stupid guvment taxes for stupid EV lanes...I want my own private lanes for 2012 Acura TL SH-All Wheel Drives!!!
-
Look again... I had time to edit... Unionized? HA! Like I said...my neighbor is an air traffic control dude...yup...they are unionized... You feel like you are discriminated against because EV people get preferential treatment at a unionized place? Solution: play the EV card... Litigation is the answer to all of our problems... GTFO with that shyte, bro!
-
And that goes to show you how whiny and childish and petty we all have become... Hey Mr Bossman...you pay for Frankie's electricity... I want you to pay for my gas!!! Wah wah wah...its only fair! Wah! NO! You GOT to pay for me too! WAH WAH WAH!!! After all...after you own admission...its ONLY ONE LEAF driver for Chrissakes!!! My neighbor's boss...the one that drives the 1st gen Volt...well...he also has installed chargers and the employees that own EVs get to charge their cars for free...the gasoline dudes dont say a word... Why? Well...they could buy an EV and get free electricity....nobody is stopping them... The problem with today's society is that we look at what our neighbor is doing and if he has an advantage...we would rather destroy his benefits rather than run our own race and maybe even try to take advantage of the SAME BENEFITS!!! THAT is how I see things! It looks like your brother's co-workers are nothing but busy body, gossipy, jealous, old maids!

And baseball.. I want my Expos back. Especially when the Nationals choked again.
-
I say...we force them Americans to give back the Colorado Avalanche and the Washington Nationals to return them to their rightful cities where they truly belong...Quebec City and Montreal respectively! As the rest of NAFTA...well...Boeing could kiss my ass...the rest of our trading together...I hopes to hell we figure it out as Canada-USA-Mexico as partners could really dominate we if get our shyte together!
-
Ha! I found your post hilarious! It is truly a great song! I do love the CLS though! Prolly the only Benz I like in 2017. The S Class sedan is awesome...but Im always waiting for something better to come along. But then again...there isnt any uber luxury sedan out there by anybody that I like...the S Class beats them all...but if I had the money to buy or lease one...I wouldnt...Id get the CLS instead. And restomod a 1950s or 1960s or even an early 1970s Caddy! I see what you did there! I LIKE!!!
-
Yeah...and I was also going with the fact that cost to build cars in Ontario also rose. The electricity costs rose...the taxes that GM had to pay in Ontario also rose in the last few years.
-
I got your back...I like posting pics.
-
In other words... damned if you do....damned if you dont. using another cliche, lose-lose situation. Leave things alone and dont say a word...GM closes you down and you go quietly in the night. Manifest and strike...GM gets mad...and closes you down. Hey...GM has got to do what they got to do to ensure the health of the company...I aint disputing that. What I am saying is that...due to circumstances...the fate of that plant was sealed a while ago...

This one? (I had to google it) (I had no idea Chevy went retro on it) I like that too!

Tesla Model 3 Production Has Some 'Bottlenecks'
oldshurst442 replied to William Maley's topic in Tesla
I do roads trips too. The kind that you actually see things... Boring interstates and highways I wont do either. I do airplane travel also and commit more time to the place of destination itself. Its the smart thing to do.
