    Is it normal for me to think that a Wrangler really does not need a V6 engine? And that it should go back to its 4 cylinder roots, even though the Wrangler has grown to be at least 50% larger than the original WW2 military vehicle?

    Frisky said...mainstream... The Quad 4 and the Ecotec producing 1000 some odd horsepower was certainly not mainstream. Honda's 4 cylinders are also capable of high horsepower...but none of those were ever offered at the mainstream level. Sorry for the interruption..continue on.

    SMK... You are 100% right!!! @frogger I did not know that. Although I do know that when Radio Shack went bye-bye and Circuit City bought them out, I thought the name change was due to Quebec French Language laws...you know...the name Circuit City aint exactly French Language friendly...I thought Circuit City was everywhere else in Canada and La Source was in Quebec! Thanx for the info!

    Correction: You need an audio version of that...from Youtube since FM Radio aint available for me to link up to you!

    My next car purchase will very well be an electric car. I currently own a 2012 bought new in 2012. Ill keep it at least for 10 years this one. We are now looking at 2022...I think many interesting options will be available to me by then. Same thing for my wife's car. She owns a 2013. Bought new in 2013. We both dont put a lot of mileage on our cars so we will hold out a tad longer than 10 years if necessary to really see what the EV market will have in store for us in 2022, 2023, 2024 and beyond. There is no itch for us to change our rides so soon in 2017 or 2018 or 2019...so we could wait and drive the current cars we own to the ground so we could make an EV purchase in the near future. A proper EV purchase with a maximized budget for one. And if by chance in 2022, 2023, 2024 EVs or EV infrastructure or whatever still does not meet our needs (an unlikely event anyhow...in Quebec at least), we could still buy a regular car. But...in Quebec, EV infrastructure is growing by leaps and bounds, the people are asking for it, and GM at a minimum, already has interesting models in the pipe line to come out in the next couple of years if not for Tesla or Honda or VW...so...

    Im envious that Toyota (in comparison to Cadillac) has the testes to offer such a conservative car ...only 2 generations in 50 years and upgrading for its 51st year, a 3rd generation. And it remains just as conservative yet (pun alert) 21st Century all the same without missing a beat with what the nameplate really represents and offers its customers EΧΑCTLY what the nameplate ALWAYS was!!!
  8. oldshurst442
    I KNEW IT!!! I knew you would love this! Although my allegiance would go to a Cadillac, had Cadillac still offered a car like this, I respect the Toyota Century nameplate and I respect this new car.

    Sure...but will the Tesla Model 3 have the necessary ports to allow this? @dfelt mentioned that even the USB ports on the Model 3 maybe suspect that the speakers might not be allowed access to music files on USB keys...so that right there might give issues to people for not having FM radio...so Ill be willing to retract my previous statements... I know in some parts of the US and Canada they have closed down...in Quebec they are still around...but with a French name...La Source. But in Quebec too, in the last year or two...financial troubles have hit and closures have happened

    Bluetooth not being available in the beginning may be problematic though for the Model 3...
  11. oldshurst442
    I dont think FM will ever get the boot. Radio waves...anybody can access those...Radio Shack helps you build your own radio...the internet will go down...radio waves...can ALWAYS be transmitted and received... But the bolded part of your quote is all that I wanted to hear!!!
  12. oldshurst442
    Actually...I said that too...that it was stupid and hella weird for them not too offer this right away BECAUSE Teslas are a highly downloadable and internet friendly cars... so... And I could have used the wrestling gif that I always use....but Conan and the math equations in the background seem more appropriate in this case love you right back sweetie!
  13. oldshurst442
    Thank you for actually giving me an argument... But...Tesla offers free internet so...no need for bluetooth to use whether bluetooth is offered or not... Back to square one... But... @dfelt answered this further... So much for people wanting to move away from the FM talk, huh? That would be 3 more people joining in on the fun... Well...2 with actual responses and 1 to bitch about it...
  14. oldshurst442
    No...it was NOT answered... The MAIN point that I want to say is that the Model 3 NOT having FM radio is NOT a big deal BECAUSE FM RADIO is NOT a go-to medium for music anymore...PEOPLE ARE TECH SAVVY IN 2017 THAT OWN AND USE OTHER INTERNET RELATED MUSIC MEDIUMS THAT FM RADIO TENDS TO BE SECONDARY!!! SURE ITS STILL USED!!! BUT...NONE OF YOU WANT TO ADMIT THAT AND ALL OF YOU ARE STUCK WITH THE SEMANTICS ONE BLOODY QUESTION!!!! YOU THINK THAT IS FRUSTRATING??? TRY DISCUSSING SHYTE WITH SOME OF YOU WITHOUT THE BIASED BLINDERS ON AND WITHOUT THE STUPID SEMANTIC IDIOCIES!!!
  15. oldshurst442
    I dont see you admitting that FM radio is not that relevant...so..no. Maybe you dont believe what I said...but THAT dont mean it aint true what it is that Im saying...so... https://hbr.org/2016/12/how-streaming-is-changing-music-again There is all kinds of info there....and if one realizes what that means... http://www.ifpi.org/news/IFPI-GLOBAL-MUSIC-REPORT-2017

    Some people say that the US has caused a lot of problems for them in their homelands...(and not necessarily exclusively the OPEC countries...other countries...NATO countries...) because of this oil...control... I dont mean anything by this statement....just letting you know that there is always two sides to a coin... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ https://lecircuitelectrique.com/welcome Quebec has a project where Hydro-Quebec has partnered with Quebec businesses to establish charging station circuits at their place of business....the consumer shops...his car charges... at hardware stores Reno-Depot and Rona Grocery shopping at Metro grocery stores or eating at St-Hubert restaurants all across the province. Or simply on a street or highway rest stop or at a shopping mall parking lot or government building of some sort. We started off big...like in California...but the Parti-Quebecois was elected and stopped the Liberal Party of Quebec's progress on that ...but 3 years ago ago the Liberal Parti of Quebec got re-elected and so the project got another boost. We are fast catching up to the West Coast again and the people of Quebec are embracing all this...

    I would agree. I saw a new Honda Fit this afternoon on the road...and I immediately saw the Chevy Bolt in it... Eerily alike... I also saw the same similarities with the Nissan Leaf... And the 2017 Versa Note... So yeah...all these little cars share the same attributes... The Bolt looks just like its sub-compact (CUV if you wanna go there) brethren...
  18. oldshurst442
    1. Yes! I would even say "Damn phoquing right they should have!" 2. And I could agree with this! I would even say "Damn phoquing right they have a loooong way to go!" Well...maybe it was answered...maybe it was not... If you and @ocnblu could admit that FM radio is not as a relevant music medium that it once was...even falling LOWER on the relevant scale than it did when MTV was introduced in the 1980s (obviously MTV is nothing now and FM radio bounced back by the 1990s when MTV decided to give us Bling That Car with that rapper or whatever it was called and Jersey Shore)...then and only then will my question will have been answered....
  19. oldshurst442
    Yes! But there are other avenues to get/listen to music...in 2017...and one buying such a downloadable vehicle because people in 2017 are comfy with internet related stuff and KNOW that Teslas are highly internet friendly vehicles and wouldnt feel constricted if in the beginning FM radio was not available to them...and in 2017...FM is not the 'end all, be all' of new music releases...or the go-to medium to listen to your fave diva pop star...as it was say in...1987..or in 1977...or in 1967... But even if this happened in say 2007...not really that big a deal either... Its a hella weird and kinda stupid...that FM aint gonna be available for the short term...because Teslas are sooooo incredibly internet friendly...but not so much of an apocalyptic event for an owner or potential onner of a Model 3 that @ocnblu or anybody else wants to make it sound like it would be... So...I repeat...who in the phoque in 2017 still really listens to FM radio?
  20. oldshurst442
    It seems like you are the one with the...um...girlie issues... Your reality is not looking past your nose...
  21. oldshurst442
    Get within the times, dude. From 1964... Its 2017...
  22. oldshurst442
    That my friend just proves to me you aint that much of a musicophile... You could wax poetic all you want about your 88.7 wxpn...but it means nothing to me as if you really enjoyed music...you would have other avenues to explore music...it aint the 1970s or 1980s anymore to have bumper sticker radio station call numbers on your car!!! Its a by-gone era, dude!
  23. oldshurst442
    Well...we got CHOM 97.7 FM in Montreal...ROCK-N-ROLL But... I got a little gizmo like that...that has about 400 songs on it... From disco, to 90s dance, to 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s all kinds of rock and soul and surfin' and doo wop and punk and hair metal and bubble gum and psychedelic and British Invasion and and rock-a-billy, to Greek, to French to love songs to all kinds of music really!!! Downloaded from apps from Youtube or straight from my own CDs... I dont use Onedrive or iCloud or streaming stuff...but I know it exists... Artists themselves dont do the record company/FM radio station no more!!! So I ask again...who the phoque uses FM radio in 2017?
  24. oldshurst442
    True.. But... 1. I never said "nobody listens to".... I merely asked a question.... Who the phoque listens to FM radio in 2017? Pinpointing to the fact that this device has evolved Which I owned BTW...and to boot... In 1986...my dad bought 1986 Chevrolet Celebrity with AM radio only...no cassette deck... In 1986...FM radio/cassette was still an option... Think about that for awhile... In the late 1960s...FM radio became a thing with the youth...STEREO was THE advantage... This was in 1986 and FM radio was still an option in cars... Joplin, Hendrix had come and gone...Presley died... Kiss was no longer that popular in 1986... 1986...Top Gun was THE blockbuster movie...But Michael Jackson's Thriller was sooooooo old news... Hell...even the Walkman was old news... And sooooo much groundbreaking FM music had passed us by from the late 60's to the mid '80s yet in the Celebrity for 1986...FM radio was an option...and that Walkman...only carried about 10 songs... iCloud and USB sticks and better Walkmans but just as passé technology in MP3 players exist today in that I dont think that we should be complaining... What we SHOULD be complaining about is the fact that that center screen is the ONLY thing that controls the Model 3's stuff...and THAT is a tragedy and travesty!
