July 25 - the day that the SS "Andrea Doria" was impaled and sunk by the SS "Stockholm" at 11 p.m. off the coast of Nantucket the evening before she was due in New York harbor the following morning.
They were having an exhibit or something and I saw this poster at the Staten Island Ferry terminal when in New York last October.
And, while on the Staten Island Ferry, looking toward Brooklyn showed the QM 2 (in the distance) moored at the cruise terminal. There's a new high rise in Brooklyn (surprise), which now has become fairly expensive because of the spillover from Manhattan and other people moving to NYC choosing it because it's a "little less" expensive.
That's a light fog, as you look at another Staten Island Ferry going the other way inside the harbor. It was very heavy fog that also affected and contributed to the "Andrea Doria" disaster.
I have read some fantastic books on diving on the Doria. She is quite decomposed at this point.
This car is a work of art.

Have to agree that Genesis is better than BMW or Mercedes. They are the new luxury level of mass made autos.
The King of Small Luxury SUVs Is a Genesis, Not A BMW or Mercedes-Benz (motorbiscuit.com)
Reliability and cost wise also.
Interesting cars here...lots of good stuff...Ramchargers Dodge at 24;31 is killer.

Nope, the Raptor version comes with a 3.0T. The 2.7T is available on XLT and Lariat trims, per Ford's website.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I have a friend who has a 2.7 in an F150 and loves it.
I could watch cage building all day.
This Torino just has the look...

Interesting, Toyota Supera and G86 could be getting the axe based on this story.

The end of performance cars is here. In the unlikely event I ever own another, it will be something like a 69 Roadrunner.

This means 1,560 per day or 569,400 per year from their Mexico plant.
https://insideevs.com/news/676596/gm-reportedly-shipped-first-2024-chevrolet-blazer-ev-suv-us/
Tesla has produced that world wide per quarter out of 4 plants or average of 125,000 per plant.
This puts GM on par with Tesla for EV production using rough numbers.
The story also says they are getting ready to ship the Blazer EV globally too.
Blazer EV is more like a real car, and less like a crappy Tesla anyways...

I honestly just kind of love where Hyundai/Kia/Genesis are going right now. They've been on quite the hot streak the last few years, in my opinion.
The new Colorado/Canyon look great.
What about the new Ranger with the 2.7 v6?
I think you need to get the Raptor version of the Ranger to get the 2.7
at 71 K, only issue is factory wiper blades wore out after 3 Ohio Winters, and the ford emblem came off of my key fob. Other than that, bullet proof. And I have used it like a truck.
Every time I go back to the Ford dealer for an oil change or whatever, they congratulate me on using my truck as a truck.

Still wonder if they could build that many- starting with the usual part shortages……
I think about you and your son every day. Hope all is well.

I think the future bodes better for legacy car makers. Thinking of a Mach E.

Another Tesla promise falls to the side.

The new GMC Canyon looks great. I may well think of buying one. Ranger is getting much closer to paid off...

600 HP / 650 with short term boost.
Oldshurst, CCAP, others seem to have left the chat.

I remember this accident vividly 50 years later. Was watching the 500 on TV with my father.
