Turns Out Apple Did Plan Bid for Tesla
Much like the stock over speculation, I think the takeover appeal of Tesla is overstated

^ That first grey Pontiac is indeed a GP, 1963. Gorgeous design, and a trend-setter. - - - - - Friend of mine's '55, runs a 502CI :- GM News: General Motors Looked At Selling RenCen in 2018

Another piece I saw on this news said if you go by badging, the count is actually 90. I agree with DD; that that's misleading and they're all the same cars, not different models, and frankly I never got the unilateral approach to naming the same car differently depending entirely on it's engine for absolutely everything.- Tesla's Stock Plunges

After reading back thru this thread, seeing all the peeps who wandered off this board --some of them fully 9 years ago!-- I threw up a new background 'toast' to old conversations :- Industry News: New Study Reveals Ride-Hailing Services Will Still Be Expensive, Even With Robots

With horrific losses & cratered sales, it should be in Ford’s price tier. I’m not convinced Tesla is going to survive I pity those who brought @$35x/share!- Tesla's Stock Plunges

I don't think working or even building an English Wheel is all that "rare". Eastwood sells them, among others, I have seen build threads on them, and have been in at least 1 shop that has/uses one. I myself have not used one, but I understand how they are used. - - - - - I have a great tailgate idea for sale if GM (or FoMoCo or FCA) is buying- guarantee it'll be the next 'box buzz' if it were brought out. There's even a vintage Chevy / GMC nameplate that would work great for it. I certainly could use my idea at work, if it were available.- May Car Spottering Thread

Confirmation from the photographer- the Ford was a local lumber delivery truck. Pretty cool in a 'blunt instrument' sort of way. If you note the VW was a production pickup but it's cut left of center, whereas the Ford was built 'cut' right of center- a LOT more load area on the Ford, aside from the wider width overall. VW added a cheapie extra 'windshield' to take up the width, instead of a new piece of (flat) glass. The Ford is on a 1-ton chassis and also has a 'pickup bed' below deck. The VW is very light duty- should probably stick to hay bales rather than steel.- Random Thoughts Thread

I like FLW's work, but I still think a LOT of it is overrated. A LOT. This is his Arizona retreat- the masonry work is terrible and frankly- the whole thing (I've looked thru an extensive pictorial on it) is heavy-handed.- Cadillac News: Cadillac CT4 Debuts May 30th
Wait - isn't a mere 500 units equal to "no one buys them" ??- Cadillac News: Cadillac CT4 Debuts May 30th
Just curious; how many do you think would sell, when you continually claim "no one" bought the ATS and CTS?? - May Car Spottering Thread
