My sister used to work out there at Conoco Phillips...did a consulting contract for a couple of years that had her flying between Phoenix, Bartlesville, OK (in and out of Tulsa airport) and Houston most every week. Said the drivers on I-10 outside Houston were among the worst she'd seen..

Styling reminds of a mix of the new Defender with a ‘70s IH Scout. Simple and clean. -
Tariff Tuesday - Buick Killing it in China; Killed in the U.S.
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Opinion
No, Buick today is just a bunch of ugly generic CUVs. Nothing unique or memorable, just bland appliances. Likely well built and reliable, but 0% style. Buick has lost the plot. I'll admit I'm a bit older, but to me these are Buicks...the new stuff has zero appeal to me.

Kia News: Kia EV4 Brings New Affordability to the Electric Vehicle Market
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Kia
The C-pillars and roof vents (or whatever those lumps above the rear window are) look very awkward in photos. Can see the relationship to the current K4 in profile (the greenhouse), but differently bulged up lower body.- 13 replies

Subaru News: Subaru Reveals new 2026 Subaru Trailseeker
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Subaru
I'm not willing to wait in line at my local Costco (a couple miles away). They always have big lines on the weekend when I drive past. I usually get gas at BP if I'm getting onto I-90, Shell if I'm getting off of I-90, or at Marathon if I'm getting off I-271--I only get gas if it's on the same side of the street I'm on so I can avoid left turns..;) Filled up the Jeep for the first time in a month this past weekend... working out of the house I drive so little during the week. -
The Lincoln limo is a 60s vintage Corgi. I also have a gold one w/ a black roof. here are a few of my old Corgi and Dinky toys.

Got this neat 1/64th 2019 CT6 diecast in the mail today, from China off eBay. Looks like my 1:1.

Had a relaxing weekend at the lake, albeit still a bit cold... highs only in the low 40s. But sunny in the afternoons, great sunsets. Saturday night about 8pm...last pic is the 'pink' moon at about 9pm Sat. Crazy spring weather..70 and sunny at home yesterday afternoon, 43 and rain today. Got to wash the Caddy, it got a lot of mud on it on one backroad near the lake where they were logging.

I watch his videos also..fun stuff.
-
Yeah. Just been busy with work this year. Took a couple days off to get away. Going to do some hiking and strolls along the trails of the park. The lake was stormy today..view from my room.

Took a couple days off to stay at state park lodge on Lake Erie. Alas, today was rainy and dreary. Supposed to be dry and warmer then next 3 days. Had a beach parking lot all to myself this afternoon.
-
Saw this customized 4th gen Firebird parked way out at the edge of a mall parking lot today.

On mine, there is a box on the lower right marked 'PARTS CONTENT INFORMATION'.

Speaking of origin of parts, reading the window sticker 26% of the parts on my Cadillac came from China, 22% from Mexico, 38% from the US/Canada.

Just not good enough at being a motor vehicle period...just hideous, shoddily built chod..
-
The M8 coupe looks so much like a Mustang in profile... I like the previous M6 Gran Coupe from about 10 years ago.. It's too bad Cadillac doesn't have a coupe and 4 seat convertible...something small based off the CT4 and/or a midsize CT5 based one would be great. I wish GM had built a production version of the gorgeous El Miraj concept.
-
Those are sweet...and colorful. Love the interiors...
-
One thing I've noticed w/ the high beltlines is I can't rest my elbow on the window sill anymore...with my Jeep and Cadillac compared to older GCs and Cadillac sedans. But I rarely have the windows down much w/ A/C.
-
Hopefully to the crusher/shredder.

There was one at the Tesla lot a couple miles from my house yesterday... though it was over when I went by there on my way to buy dog food and supplies.
-
Mine will be one of my Cadillac road trips w/ plenty of relaxing Carolina September beach time, like last year but going further south. My sister's will involve flying to NYC, then to Paris, a couple days in Paris, then a motor coach tour to Normandy, Brittany, etc. Should be fun. I need to get back across the pond myself in the next few years.
-
I like the '67 Fords a lot..great looking cars from '65-68. I also like the '69-72 quite a bit also. My sister is taking a 7 day tour of Northern France in September, including Normandy, Brittany, Mont-St-Michel, and Cherbourg. The week before that I'm taking a week off and going down to Myrtle Beach, Beaufort SC and Savannah GA....staggering our vacations so there is always someone home w/ the dogs...
-
Was out and about in my neighborhood this afternoon and saw not one but two Cadillac ELRs within a couple blocks…a dark red one and a pearl white one. Also saw two CT6s (dark gray and black) and a CT4 V series in bright blue.

Genesis News: Genesis debuts a Long Wheelbase G90 Black Edition
Robert Hall replied to G. David Felt's topic in Genesis
I saw a black regular wheelbase G90 at the post office recently. It’s a sharp car. But I prefer the styling of my black CT6 parked a couple spaces over. As far as current luxobarges, I like the Audi A8 styling over the other Germans. -
Genesis News: Genesis debuts a Long Wheelbase G90 Black Edition
Robert Hall replied to G. David Felt's topic in Genesis
It's one of those tiresome, overdone trends...like black wheels or gray houses with black window trim. I'd assume the LWB G90 has a demand in S. Korea. In a world full of dull CUVs and SUVs, though, it is nice to see someone making a full size sedan...the LWB version has a 132.7 inch wheelbase.
