Car #1-American Muscle car, American traditional restaurant of some sort. https://orangejulep.ca/ A Montreal landmark. Back in the day, girls used to roller skate the food to your car...yes yes...SoCal milkshake&burgers style. I never got to experience this Richie Cunningham~Happy Days epoch , but every Wednesday in the summer... And a photo when the cars were NOT considered classics Since this is a Montreal landmark and this spot calls for an American Muscle Car and I love the GM A-Body, Ill choose an A Body that was only sold in Canada(not really...its just a 1969 Chevelle badge engineered to look like a Pontiac) A 1968 Pontiac Beaumont 396SD.. Or a 1970 Dodge Coronet 440 Superbee Car #2, Italian car, Italian food-for those who do not like Imports, you may substitute an American car. Ill do Greek restaurant but with an Italian car. But many many original Italian owned authentic Italian pizzerias exist in Montreal's Little Italy where Id be happy to go to as well. But I am Greek so Ill toot toot toot the Greek horn! Ill do two Greek restaurants. These two restaurants are always competing for the best souvlakis in Montreal. The second restaurant also has three locations but the link is of the original and is the most authentic Greek atmosphere of them all. http://marathonsouvlaki.ca/en/index.html http://souvlakivillagegrec.ca/ These were pretty popular in Greece back in the day. Id bring one over from Europe to go drive around Montreal when the desire is for the family to swing by old Greek or Italian neighborhoods. 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV Car #3. Vintage 4 Door sedan of some sort, restaurant should be some sort of ethnic food. A restaurant thread and Montreal and Schwartz' Deli HAS to be included. Another Montreal icon. http://schwartzsdeli.com/ca/en/ Jewish people loved those Cadillacs back in the day. So do I. Cadillac it shall be. 1992 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham D'Elegance Car #4, Modern sedan of some sort, restaurant should be something with a good entree below $25.... My kids love this local chain of restaurants. Quebec style rotisserie chicken. Poulet St-Hubert BBQ. http://www.st-hubert.com/index.en.html 2012 Acura TL SH-AWD or a newer ride...but IMO, a similar ride 2018 Buick Regal GS Car #5, SUV over $75,000 current market value, Fine dining. Montreal is blessed with great restaurants... http://www.restaurant-toque.com/en One of Canada's best and it put Montreal fine dining back on the map. 23 years strong with impressing American and European tourists alike. Many aspiring young chefs have passed through this restaurant graduating and moving forward to many world renown restaurants all over the world. Right at the heart of Montreal smack in the middle of Downtown and Old Montreal, one could shop in the expensive boutiques of Downtown Montreal, walk over the short romp to Old Montreal and take in Montreal's and Canada's history...then eat dinner at Toqué and when the the dining is complete, all that is left to decide is what night club or bar scene one wants to attend... in Old Montreal or Downtown...to get there, a modern trendy romp has to be made in a modern trendy Tesla X. And since this is Montreal...the night life is hot hot hot! Bars, dance clubs, strip clubs. Formula One race in June. Formula E Race in July. Jazz Festival. And much much more Anyhoo...these are the rides Id be promenading the streets of Montreal during these crazy crazy crazy summer nights of Grand Prix week-end and the whole summer actually. During the exotic times with them Ferraris and Lambos Alfa Romeo tipo 33 Stradale During the Muscle Cars days 1970 Olds 442 W-30 And if I was single in my 20s again trying to pick-up sweet sweet Montreal cuties Ferrari LaFerrari. It dont matter if the girl you are trying to pick up knows nothing about cars...It dont matter if she hates cars and is an environmentalist feminazi that also is a feminist and hates masculinity...they will drop their panties quicker than the LaFerrari could reach 60 MPH because they all recognize that prancing horse and they all want to ride in one.

This one is PHOQUING GREAT!!! Ill do mine tonight! Ill marinate some ideas over the course of the day.

Yeah.... Just like every new generation Vette that comes out...there is almost always a new engine that goes along with it... There are exceptions of course when a new engine goes in the last of the old generation...but in general...a new gen Vette appears, so does a new engine... And in between, HP bumps and tweaks are offered and sometimes new engines are introduced mid-cycle...but usually...a decade goes by with the same generation platform so sometimes new engines are introduced to compliment the base engines along the way... Standard industry wide practice I would assume...and GM with the Corvette is no different... Why is this perplexing you?

This is just pure, unadulterated trolling.

I love this car!

There was an Ancient Greek philosopher (I forget which one) who once said: "Greece is at the center of the world, Athens is at the center of Greece and the Parthenon is at the center of Athens" So yeah...you and other Athenians past and present at least agree on one thing... (Its said that Athenians are pompous egotistical show offs) I must admit though....I am immensely proud to be Greek. And although my ancestors are not Athenians nor from the Attica region or Central Greece, they did come from a Province that was loyal to Athens more so than the other city-states...so Ill casually flaunt Athenian (and Greek) pride from time to time! Yes....life is too short. A Tesla and Miata roadster shall be in your near future. The Oracle of Delphi, Indiana told me so. Percy Jackson led me to the temple.

HYBRID!!!! (said like Seinfeld's Newman's reaction) Damn...I forgot! OK...so Ill have to steal one of yours....and its not as if I dont have any Aston Martins in my collection.... Traded straight up red for red!

The first 5. The first 2 are Aston Martins....you cant have too many of these British cars....as with sex and money....all these go hand and hand. 1. Aston Martin V12 Vanquish Zagato 2. Aston Martin DB11 3. Speaking of sex. Any Ferrari and women just drop their panties for you....like almost immediately after meeting and greeting you. When I was looking to post my Ferrari pic...I came across this pic...I FOUND IT TO BE PERFECT!!! CAN YOU GUESS WHICH ONE IT IS? Before you go further, try and guess what it is! The vid down below features it! 4. 2017 M-B S600 Brabus 900 5. Rolls Royce Dawn The next 5 6. Jaguar ΧJS Convertible The next three cars are not what I usually choose...but hey...V12 yo! 7. Ferrari LaFerrari 8. Lamborghini Reventon. I could have with an Aventador which looks about the same and its on a newer platform, but the Reventon is way way way rare. 9. Im surprised Im actually choosing this one, but it is a handsome car that I always did like to be honest! BMW 850 CSI 10. Hey...I need another 1980s V12 icon in video format to show you folk Like the poster!!!

Sure. The ZR1 C6 touched $100K when it came out. It was a slow seller...but the market got used to $100K Vettes. If this rear mounted mid-engined Vette is to be the best of the best of the Vettes, then it seems plausible to assume it will be north of $100K. Please dont tell me that Vettes are affordable...Best of the best Vettes were NEVER affordable. Not the 1965 396 Vette, not the 427 1966-1969....certainly not the 1969 ZL1 nor the 1990-1995 ZR1s. Not the 1996 Grand Sport nor the C5 Z06s...Not the C6 ZR1 nor the C7 Z06 and the upcoming ZR1... Ive covered 52 years of best of the best Vettes that were not affordable by the average joes...so spare me that argument please. Vettes always had a plethora of engine choices in its history. I wont delve into the rockin' 50s and crazy '60s where the engine choices were mind exploding overwhelming...but dont tell me that in your era that is not the case as from 1990 forward...there was always at least 2 engine choices. It even grew to three as of late. The C6 had 3 engine choices. The C7 will soon have 3 options.... Plus...the good thing about that is that Chevy gets to use these in their Camaros and watered down versions in iron form in their million a year sales pick-up trucks....so...

This is how it starts. Gas stations were sparse when the horseless carriage was upon humanity. The highway system was all but a futuristic dream too during this time. By the time Route 66 came around, gas stations were springing up slowly slowly and along the way, motels and diners and all kinds of wonderful family owned businesses flourished along that route. Then the highway system got built, then roadside gasoline stations with McDonald were sprouting like mushroom and route 66 is just a ghost of a route that only in the last 15 years has regained popularity to due nostalgia. In the ancient times....it took millennia to establish the trade routes we have today. "All roads lead to Rome" but before that..."Rome was not built in a day" are two expressions that I think are relevant in my little speech just now.

He has got a lot of fantasy projects going on. Sinking money on fairy tales really. Unlike Jobs whose ideas were swift and effective...so yeah.I agree, he is no Steve Jobs. Just let me be douchey and allow me to counter with this pic All in good nature just for discussion's sake.

Paypal Tesla

Yeah. That would be a logical idea. I did not know Johan was a marketing guy. But the product is great! Before he joined...what you see is the product that was in place before he joined... We really havent seen what HIS product will be like. Just one concept which is the Escala. Even the name changes to CT5, CT6, XT5 and so forth are not of his tenure. The marketing and HQ move to NYC is his and THAT was a good move. The Dare Greatly campaign was his and it....sucked (or continues to suck) only because he is failing to....dare greatly... Lets get this straight though. Marketing sucks before him and it continues to suck with him! The products that Cadillac has out now ARE great. The interiors could be improved further, but they HAVE come a long way to where they were at the start of THIS decade (2010s). In reality, lets give Johan some time. The bankruptcy, the GM bureaucracy, the half a million CEO changes and shuffles, the ignition switch scandal, all have conspired AGAINST Cadillac to remain focused... It seems that there is LASER focus ONLY on 1 model launch at a time at GM...for all divisions.

Or maybe tell Johan to take a hike...sales will increase by default as wherever Johan goes and leaves, the place he leaves improves the sales automatically...

Not to quote you per se, just that this tidbit of info picked my curiosity. Its more of a jab at Mercedes Benz CEOs trying to bullshyte their way selling that Nissan pick-up truck rebadge as the first real premium pick-up truck...that I wanted to highlight it!!!

Eh oh! Ill trow a coupl-a burgers down your troat! Thank-you! Thank-you very much!

@A Horse With No Name yes but....you did not say if you were gonna still love me tomorrow...

Hmmmm....New Jersey... I could see why a strong contingent of Maserati owners are in Jersey...

OK.... This was the intent of that post. Without the trolling and the controversial pics. Seriously? What is up with all the kissing of GM's ass? GM went bankrupt in 2008 because they had a negative cash flow WORSE than Tesla's. HELLO!!! THEY WENT BANKRUPT!!! (I dont necessarily agree with all that I just said...just playing Devil's advocate to stir up shyte) At least governments and countries as a whole are willing to give Tesla a chance...in 2008 and 2009, people were fed up of GM's bullshyte! Some Americans were willing to let "whats good for GM is good for the country" be flushed down the toilet like a giant turd that it was!!! (I dont necessarily agree with all that I just said...just playing Devil's advocate to stir up shyte and to defend SMK as he does make valid points....but just as he glances over some facts to promote his agenda, some pro-GM`mers glance over facts to cover up GM's huge flaws) Although I LOVE GM myself....it makes me sick to my stomach knowing how shyte GM can get and we have the cojones to defend that shyte! So stop the useless defending of GM (this one is real...I do stand by that statement!!!)

On Tesla and on the iPhone Apple was laughed at not having a physical keyboard...so much so that there was still defiance and some tried to offer a physical keyboard with their touch screen Apple was laughed at for even having a touch screen in the first place Apple was laughed at for controlling the touch screen with your fingers in funky ways reminiscent of a fantasy futuristic Tom Cruise movie Apple was laughed at for trying to push connectivity and calling it "smart phone" Apple was laughed at for iTunes and people paying for "apps" From selling ZERO phones...to becoming a MAJOR player displacing the inventor of the satellite phone Motorola and the darling leader of the 1990s Nokia and dismantling the early 2000s technology filled leader Blackberry Apple was also laughed at for creating a "bigger iPhone" and saying that tablets will replace laptops...laptops did not die yet but are not as healthy as before as tablets have pushed their way to be an actual viable computer platform alternative Tesla made it possible to sell the idea that EVs ARE the future that people actually want to own and COUNTRIES all over the world are waiting impatiently for the tech to be on par with oil driven vehicles... Some COUNTRIES of the world have set a time and date and HAVE BANNED internal combustion engines. In 15-20 years, only alternative energy cars will be able to be bought in these countries...will it be EVs? WHo knows??? Tesla started this wave!!! Not trendy...TREND SETTING BIG DIFFERENCE. I suggest you folk stop verbally beating up on Tesla or Apple... Apple was supposed to die sometime in the 1980s by haters and 'experts' alike. Tesla may not survive as building and selling cars is a very expensive and task requiring BILLIONS every year and automotive consumers are the most fickle, most demanding, most hardest to make them stay loyal as the competition is the FIERCEST in any domain...being as it may, Tesla already has changed the course of automobile history for the future even if Tesla ceases to exist 4:00 PM Eastern time today and it is currently 8:00 AM Eastern time as I type this...

Not quite CT(#)= Audi A3 fighter ATS+CTS=CT5 CT6=CT6 but with a bigger role to fulfill as it probably will fulfill the void and represent what the XTS offered to folk that wants the ΧΤS and be Cadillac's flagship sedan at the highest trim level.

No...that was not it. It was a trolly remark that did not represent my opinion and it would probably do more damage than good. It was meant for cheap laughs while making a statement but a statement that I wont back up either so... Its best to just leave it as a blank!

Ive had a change of heart....so I decided to omit the original message.
