105 HP 3.8L V6, 110 HP 4.3L V6, 170 HP 350CI V8. ugh. They still look good, but they have no moxie.

I don't spend much of my time at all getting bogged down on the news cycle. Tragedies happen daily; some we hear about for weeks, some we never hear about, some touch our circle of life and we can never forget them. When multi-millionaires become engrossed in my circle's downturns, I might give some time to theirs.

Bumper is wrong and side grilles have a horizontal grid; L-39s have vertical side grillwork. Hood ornament is the first thing that matches up well; perhaps the side grilles & bumper were changed.

In da Pennsyltucky woods...

6:08, I guess, depends on the terrain. [6:24] 5th floor. Checked to see if we were in Wild Bill’s neck of the woods, but fairly north of you (Wilkes-Barre).

Go to sleep at 10:45, wake up at 4:41. 6 hrs is it for me. Now its 5:15, waiting for the sun.

Gonna have to kill some; they have 6 sedans now.

Government is not your friend and is not ‘in your corner’.

Corvette went to a rubber front bumper in ‘73, so with that and the fender gills, I believe its ‘70-‘72.

VERY short term window for this analysis. '9 month high imports into China'. Also note that even were China's imports to go to zero, they're only about 12% of US exports, which have been on a fairly steady rise over the last SIX years. Going to zero by itself in China isn't nearly enough to swing the needle over to national recession, sorry.

It wasn't a full charge; they were limited to only an 80% charge (in 2 hrs, 10 mins) because there was a wait for the superchargers at that stop. I'm still seeing Teslas all. the. time. snugged up to chargers in mid-morning. 3 today at 10AM, no one in any of the 3 cars (must been snorking coffee at Panera). Charge at home, people, you bought a $100K car; you should be able to afford the $12 to charge it!
-
Of course this is correct. They drove 101 miles to pick up a trailer, “everyone” is not refueling then to do a 101 mile trip. If 78% charge takes 2 hrs, the 33% charge time would be nearly an hour, correct? Who wants to be so inconvenienced by their vehicle like this? I get about 290 miles before my low fuel light goes on, but the DuraMax has another 15 gallons in the tank at that point. Towing doesn't noticeably affect MPG.
-
Your limited in charge if there's other people waiting? 2 hrs and 10 minutes to add 78% charge? That sucks. Here's the deal with the semi, IMO. In order for it to be competitive, range-wise, with the current leaders, it is going to require 1000s & 1000s of lbs of batteries, and that's going to come out of the cargo capacity. That right there is a huge strike. Then there's the very much a given that it'll cost at least $100K more than the competition and that's 2 big strikes.

MOST Cadillac dealers, traditionally (and here I mean the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s) were paired. In the case of 2 Divisions in one store, via my unofficial observations; it was 85% with Oldsmobile. However, there were a significant portion of 3 or more Divisions in one store, so the overall is actually lower WRT Olds. I have been -as a by product of my Pontiac dealer compilation list- contributing to a mid century Cadillac site thread RE Caddy dealerships. "Traditional" stand-alone Cadillac dealerships were probably less than 15% of all Cadillac dealers. - - - - - 1910 :

My local dealer built a stand-alone building with its own service department, tho it is on the same property as it's companion Chevrolet dealer. Haven't been inside it. - - - - - Electric GMC ~

Me likey the Satin Steel. Coming up on a year since the unveiling, and I still like both the Silverado & the Sierra about equally. Wife today said next year I'm getting a new truck, after we parked next to a brand new extra-cost-dark-red F-150. Maybe some decent deals on '19s will be available- I wouldn't buy brand new again.
