^ Lyric is also "currently out of production". ?

Millions of them... but correct; did. They were out of the medium class for a while, at least they're back in that. I would love to see GMC go back into HD class again.

No Nissans.

Quite simply, he was not speaking accurately. Look at this: 1800 / 12 = 150 miles. They stopped at every single station, not ‘none’ of them.

That would be a range of circa 1800 miles (at 50 MPH average). Do I actually have to watch the video?

Hadn't thought of Def Leppard in decades, just stumbled over them again this month. I wasn't huge on them back in the day, but digging them now. They were so huge back in the day. This one has some fantastic bones; man would I love to see a supercharged cover of it. I love the chorus, there could be a bunch more of it:

Sounds like the starter is the issue, not the engine (“smoothes out at idle”).

All utilities here have to be a min of 3' below grade, but NJ never freezes that deep. One of the worse winter digs I was on when I was in excavation, the excavator wouldn't break thru the frozen ground at the house we were trenching to, and we had to tent it with 2 kerosene bullet heaters. My recollection was the ground was really only frozen about 8" deep then. OMG. I have not heard of anyone in NJ who got their power back quicker than I did. Don't know exactly why, I've always dubbed it the "Route 1 power grid' (with no knowledge of exactly what).

Sometimes, 'generic' just works.

I certainly consider myself lucky in that power outages at my house are rare & short. I know it has to do with where I am on the grid (somehow). During Hurricane Sandy, where some people in central NJ had power out for 5 days, mine was only out for 25 hrs. I did borrow a generator from a friend at about hour 23 to run my sump pump & cycle the fridge. When power does go out during regular storms, it's usually out for only a few minutes. It's the prime reason I have resisted getting a generator. I also have a wood stove, so even if the gas lines somehow froze, I can heat my whole house just fine. I have made a point of never having paid for wood, either. I saw something curious in passing RE Texas- that utilities had to be granted permission to up their power generation.

IMHO, there's a BUNCH of ugly in here... but that's the way opinions go, right?

It’s interesting; Steven King picked the ‘58 because it was ‘non-descript’; he repeatedly called it a 4-dr in the book. IMO; it strikes a good balance between looking mean and looking beautiful.

That was my point in going off your definition- why is the eqc half-assed? And if YOU say it is, it must be akin to a ‘99 hyundai pony.

I like it, but it's not pretty. It was a quick inversion; Plymouth was amazing / near perfect in '58, and was aesthetically near the bottom by '61. Ambassador was probably the bottom :

If we say the row over the rear axle is dead, that still has to be a 15-passenger job.

Why are they still half-assing it? Don't they realize that It's Mercedes that MUST surpass Tesla, not the other way around.

Carbs are boxed and going to rebuilder tomm. Tri-P manifold has had all threads chased, all edges broken and all casting flash ground smooth. I wish this were aluminum, but only the factory race pieces were (big $$). Cast iron here, weighs 46 lbs.

Ooooo- what’s the ‘Google Monster’?

Topically : it was just announced that Daimler’s not going to sell the EQE in the US.

Correct.

That would certainly be interesting enough, but I was speaking my opinion from 1000s of miles in the aforementioned ‘77-79 B-body.
