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.

^ Seems impossible if it goes electric.

Wonder what BMW’s real expectations are with this move?

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.

Come to think about it, all the wheels, if on a 360-degree shopping cart pivot, will require electrical steering control, else any vehicle will crab out of control. I’m going to go ahead and assume any builder of this futureTaxi would use 4 motor units, thus giving an urban 25-mph taxi 2,800 instantaneous torque. Yep; sounds totally logical & forward thinking! ?

Why would inner city transport need 922 torque (assuming the other 3 wheels are ‘dead’ wheels)? This will likely take a good while to appear (if at all) because theres no vehicle structure that’s currently engineered to accept it, no?
