balthazar

Frankly; 5K a month is better than I would’ve guessed; Jeep should take it and run. Can’t even put a 10-spd bike in the bed.

I read elsewhere that a hi-po Escalade is definitely coming, so the BW seems a strong possibility there.

? none of them do.

Seems like a conflict of interest there. Not to mention; putting notoriously staged 'reality TV' hosts up as credible pitchmen can become problematic.

^ Put that back in the oven, it's still raw! ? - - - - - Seriously, we've all read the adage 'It doesn't cost anymore to make it look good' [which, of course; is complete nonsense], but the Nikola, the Workhorse and of course the Tesla Cardboard Playhouse aren't even in the ballpark of Segment Stadium.

Mean lookin!

I believe on average, one has far more chance of bodily harm from other human animals, than from animals. IOW; tho the woods at night might be scary; the trees aren't going to thump you on the skull and steal your cell and your wallet.

This showed up at my buddy's shop over the weekend, has a tired Chevver 350, looking for a big block / manual upgrade. Not sure if that's going to be Pontiac or Chevy-power. No it's not; it's a LeMans Tempest.

'38 Hudson Terraplane Utility Coupe. Bed slides in & out; when stowed a typical decklid closes over it. A modern interpretation of this concept would be very interesting (if even possible).

Yep I did. Make the grille texture finer... perhaps something bright like XTS Platinum grillework, and that would be awesome. Ciel is a lot more cohesive.

I’m going to disagree on making the El Miraj as the ‘top face’ @ Cadillac; I’ve always felt it needed a bit more time in the oven.

I don't do most of those things (symphony, museums, Thai, Indian, food delivery, high dollar restaurants); I'm low maintenance. The ideal would be to live in a rural area only 30 mins from a strong suburbia/hospital. It's definitely doable...

At the same time; having a bank, nail salon, dollar store, pizza shop & 7-eleven on every. other. corner doesn't necessarily 'feel better' or even less depressing. There are some unique folk living out in the boonies, many whom are of a preferable stripe than the Starbucks/Alexa/BMW stripe. I live in suburbia, but I prefer small town/rural, especially since there's a lot higher chance of vintage iron out there.

Yes; it certainly did look like a horror movie house. The porch screens were blackened & more translucent than transparent. No; no remodeling. Owner lives across street, uses it for storage. Hey ocnblu- up where this was (Northampton County), it seems to be a mandate that every house has at least 1 non-operational car on the property. The one to the right of the above pic had 2 '70s Dodge Rams and an '80s mercedes sedan rotting away. The house to the left had a Panther-bodies Grand Marquis. The house in the pics had an '80s Country Squire wagon on flat tires and I think a rotting volvo. I assume this is a state-wide mandate?

‘Credit’ doesn’t move cars. Wait; that didn’t come out right...

That’s not ‘bleak’; its reality. Can’t recall a sharper decline in such a short period in an automotive segment ever. 230K to 87K in 7 years?!? As far as CUVs being boring, so are family sedans. Trucks, at least, are interesting. SO much variety/customization.

Sedans are dying off, people don’t want them anymore. Everything that can be done basically has been, but it’s not stopping the sales slide. Sonata I believe has fallen well off it’s peak, and this effort isn’t going to move the needle the other way. EDIT :: 2011-2012 : 226-230K 2019 : 87K Malibu sold 120K in ‘19. Sonata will be ? sooner rather than later.

Styling-wise, its both random & generic. Nose looks really bulbous. 2 miles of range after a full 6 hrs of sunlight is staggeringly pointless. So is the smaht pahk feature. Feels like hyundai is going down a rabbit hole of irrevelence.

Everything I just read online says no, but; was up in very rural Northampton County Pennsylvania today, some very hilly & wooded area. Across the road myself & 2 others with me heard what videos completely confirmed in our opinions - a couple of coyotes mixing it up with a wolf. They were quite close by. Like I said, state & official websites state wolves haven't been in the northeast in the wild in around 100 years. Coyotes aplenty; yes, but their cries are nothing alike. Chilling sound...

^ I like them both, but I feel the next gen's time has come. - - - - - But I do have a soft spot for Cadillac stacked lights :

Unless you were in an old Beetle.
