    No worries Hyper. It was more of a general rant not directed towards you. Back to the topic at hand. crash #2.... After many many near misses since Tesla launched this shyte, this does NOT come as a surprise to me. Maybe this latest incident will quell the need for autonomous driving...

    Uh...I dont think the likes of these idiots care all that much for the Toyota badge, it being cheaper and all that. Its an image thing. 3 Pointed Star. One Hundred Thousand Dollar Car. It is an SUV, the hottest thing around. And...the Pope even has one! But then again he has a Jeep also. That is right....part of the SUV craze. But at least with the last two guys...these guys are the real deal: Stallone owned this Ahnold owned this

    Id re-work the A-Team van to one of these just to make it fair and still have money left over So...A-Team van for me in 4x4 trim.

    OK. This is simple. Which Black and Red ride would you rather have? M-B G-Wagon Hamman tuned edition. Or the A-Team Van 1983 GMC VANDURA

    Another bump just in case you MOFOS finally got to know the song and now actually have an opinion on it! Or maybe not! I know I STILL LOVE the song!

    Well.. after talking about Nazis in another thread The only way Id like to see a German "wagen" is this way! Whether it be a "G", "Panzerkammpf" or "Volks"

    Off topic. And it concerns American politics and Im Canadian, so I aint offended by this, but as a Canadian who had a dad fight in WW2 and as of Greek origin who Nazi Germany made a mess out of Greece....and the whole of Europe actually, and all kinds of genocides..... Referring and alluding to modern, democratic politicians as related to that short man with the mustache irks the hell out of me. (not to pin this solely on Hyper and the Hitlerary comment, but generally speaking as many do this, even Canadians do this with Steven Harper...some of us Canucks compared his party to the Nazis...) Hillary has lied. Many times. The Clintons have all kinds of fraud allegations connected to their name. Bill Clinton. Forgetting his intern relationship that he had no sexual relations, which is on him, his marriage and his commitment to Hillary and the knot they both tied that defines his relationship with his better half and God...because God was a witness to that bond in matrimony...at least that romp was consensual..therefore who a I to judge him? HOWEVER....how many other "non-sexual" relationships were of the free will of his victims? Not for me to judge, but there are stories out there...and often is the case, where there is smoke, there is fire. But...with all that going on with the Clintons, and as it turns out, Steven Harper, or Angela Merkel with the Brexit debacle...I serious doubt that all of them combined have come close to the evil that is Hitler! So Id like to say, in general.... Please, let us refrain with the Nazi comparisons...if it aint about ISIS or Hussein or Stalin or some other real evil entity...

    Could be Mr. DFELT. I dont follow the SUVs as I hate them so I dont know what is what with them.

    Wonder if GM might be too hungry...still waiting to see how the nearly 30k hatches are going to do. (keeping in mind most will be loaded LT or Premier trims) Being built in mexico, and with the Focus hatch still starting under 20k-should be interesting. While I love the car, 26-30 for a compact hatch? While I'm not thrilled about the chinese part of the Envision, if it comes out successful it will US built pretty quick. I think Buick needs to be careful here....be bang for buck....and be careful not to jump to caddy price wise.... If they feel they need to charge a little more, give folks a reason and something different, like a Grand Sport model or something..... This aint no different than the German built Buick Regal the first year the Regal was out...(in reference to the Chinese built Buick Envision) Tooling needs to be made in North American factories... And correct me if Im wrong...originally the Envision was not supposed to be sold in North America. I personally dont have a problem with a Chinese built Envision. Its all this "Toyota and Honda are more American than Ford/GM/Chrysler" bullshyte because they manufacture some cars here that has phoqued up the mentality and made us schizophrenic about this sorta thing.

    CCAP It was the Land Cruiser Series 70 that Toyota reproduced for Japan and Australia for 1 year. 30th anniversary. Updated with modern engines and I dont remember what else...
  11. oldshurst442
    Help me understand your reference, which in turn will help me understand your post. Who is this Sheridan you speak of?
  12. oldshurst442
    But..this aint because Tesla's tech failed.... This is still HUMAN error.... Tesla's system is still called SEMI-autonomous driving... Anybody that wants to say otherwise is on a witch hunting of their own... It seems like some of us still have some Salem Puritan ways of thinking...
  13. oldshurst442
    To be fair... If this was GM...the media would have been louder than it has been so far than it has with Tesla... Also....as much cult following Tesla has got, which irks many, which in turn makes for many to hate Tesla....the hatred that people have for GM is not even comparable therefore many many many people would have called for Mary Barra's head... Lets us be honest...GM's CEOs and engineers would have been severely scrutinized and GM cannot afford this type snafu, , while Musk and Tesla are getting off pretty darned easy... Not that Musk or Tesla should be getting any flack...but like I said, if this was GM....the witch hunting would have been intense...
  14. oldshurst442
    Makes you think had GM still kept building Hummer H1s, H2s and H3s...and expanded with the HX concept...

    Problem is Suave... Balthy is ALREADY vocal AGAINST sub-ATS class Cadillacs. He is CONSTANTLY telling us he HATES this sub-ATS idea and he also tells us that Cadillac needs NOT to chase volume either! Balthy is very consistent in his thought processes. There are biases of course....but who hasnt got any? I know I do!!! Disclaimer: I try to be as honest and consistent in my thought processes also. My opinions sometimes have bias in them...that is what opinions are for... (That is why I HATE -1 votes without explanations! But I believe I have beat that thing to death! EDIT: BALTHY beat me to it. I think he could defend himself quite good....he dont need me....he pities the fool that thinks otherwise.

    I dont see that at all... But then again, It is cursive.... Maybe I go to the dépanneur and buy me a two-four of that aforementioned Lowenbrau and when I get dizzy enough, Ill see it!
  19. oldshurst442
    OK....I quite certain that the last 3 letters are: rau Why? well...you did say Austrian....and the first thing that came to my mind is the German beer

    YUP! ITS A TESLA!!!

    I like the way you're thinking... Imagine if GM cheapens out on a sensor for a couple of cents on their version of the autonomous driving Bolt like they did with the Cobalt/Pontiac G5/HHR debacle? At least in Tesla's case, one could still chalk it up to human error as the idiot was watching a movie or playing video games rather than being attentive like the fine print says that one should do when engaging in autonomous driving mode... Listen, this has nothing to do with Tesla...it has everything to do with EVERY STUPID CAR MAKER AND SILICON VALLEY A-HOLES that think that they could save us from ourselves... VOLVO Mercedes-Benz Google Tesla General Motors and many more... Tesla happens to have the first death because Tesla is the first to put to market this shyte.... which is not true because Volvo and I think Mercedes Lories have this shyte on their 18 wheelers....difference is truckers are attentive because they got cameras in their rigs filming their every move!!! When Volvo and Mercedes-Benz and GM and Google that has partnered up with FCA (I thing they have partnered up with FCA to program this shyte as they dont engineer and produce vehicles) will have their share of technology malfunction in their passenger vehicles and knock on wood.....not too many idiot people will die from this shyte!!! Darwinism or not...it is still a bloody shame for such carnage.

    This is another way supercars get sold: "special editions" Ferrari is introducing 350 special editions cars. 70 different versions of each model currently in its lineup to celebrate its 70th birthday. Lamborghini is making a special edition Aventador or whatever model it is to commemorate the Miura's anniversary. Ford is introducing special edition GT to commemorate the original GT40 that won Lemans... This method eerily reminds me of another tactic... Anyhoo, its nice to see that the Viper will go out feeling wanted.

    Thanx CCAP for the compliment on that Viper pic. I thought Id pay an homage to the Viper now that its gone. (or soon to be gone) Riding into the sunset....that was the theme... I figured the Viper is as American as it gets. I figured the Viper is viewed in the same way as a Cowboy is viewed. Rugged, tough, ballsy, and at times an outlaw... A Cowboy is as American as it gets and when he rides off into the sunset, it means good-bye. So I scoured the internet to find that perfect Viper in the sunset pic... I think I succeeded!

    Well, Suave... Like I said...easily distracted drivers should not be able to be legally driving....Lyft and Uber and Taxi service and public transportation is as autonomous driving as it gets... And...I agree with you...this kind of accident was inevitable and many more to come. As for the fine print....some of us read it, some of us dont, but all of us NEVER listen to the message anyway... Fine print is only good for the lawyers of those that produce the fine print to absolve any fault... Its best that this 'helpful' technology go away... Its time to re-evaluate how we teach people how to drive...
  25. oldshurst442
    So....if it takes driver awareness to be able to have driver interaction to help autonomous driving prevent an accident....then what is the point? 1. Just be aware while you drive in the first place and cut this shyte with LCD screens and GPS maps and connectivity and JUST DRIVE the PHOKING CAR!!! Do away with all these sensors and aids that are supposedly there to help us...they dont help us...they make us rely on them and make us lazier and dumber in the process... 2. DONT GIVE DRIVERS LICENSES TO EVERY TOM, DICK and HARRY... Let these distracted and/or poor reflexes and poor judgement human beings use Lyft and Uber services if those people dont want or cant use public transportation...
