Yeah...there are definitely many places it couldn't go. I saw a few Tahoes in Rome when I was last there in '04. But far more Grand Cherokees and other midsize two-row SUVs like Range Rovers and Mercedes G-classes. When I drove a Mercedes A140 (1st gen A-class-- the tiny subcompact one) from Rome to Salerno via Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast there were some roads and streets where it felt too big...

After lots of European crime dramas the last few weeks, been goofing off with '80s comedies this afternoon.. 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels', 'Spies Like Us', and ‘Fletch’ in the evening...love vintage Chevy Chase, Dan Ackroyd, Steve Martin... Been a quiet weekend... baked some orange roughy and veggies today... Up to 88 today after 86 yesterday. Crazy, went from 40s a couple weeks ago to 80s. Had the windows open yesterday and enjoyed some breezes and fresh air, but upstairs was too warm last night...fired up the AC at 1:30 am for the first time this year.

My folks were in that area then...my Mom was from nearby Hindman and was 9 then, and my Dad was from Prestonsburg and 19.. he would join the Army Air Corps in 1941, then they met after the war. In present day NE Ohio, I've been enjoying great weather this weekend...spending time in the backyard and grilling/cooking..grilled some bacon-wrapped filets yesterday, and today made chicken habanero tamales and margaritas.

Finished season 3 of Finnish crime drama 'Bordertown' this past week, along w/ season 1 of French/Dutch crime drama 'Baptiste' (with the always excellent Tchecky Karyo). Currently watching French mystery/drama 'Black Spot' .. set in a small French mountain town without cell reception or GPS (hence the title, though the title in French translates to White Spot)...surrounded by woods, mysterious goings-on in the woods, teenagers murdered/missing, a powerful lumber family, etc..feels a lot like 'Twin Peaks'..

It’s a ‘57 Ford, but not sure which model, don’t recognize the side trim. Speaking of the 50s, saw a very clean ‘55 Chevy Nomad (Aqua w a white roof) driving in my neighborhood this afternoon.

They need to do a TRD version w/ some ground effects, black wheels, red leather interior, black roof, big wing on the back... BTW, the Japanese-market Alphard van is available w/ a TRD kit...

Genesis News: 2021 Genesis G80 Packs New Styling, Two Turbo Engines

Which is more where the CT4 is size wise... -
In 2000s, I was flying 10-15 times a year probably. I took it for granted then. I’ve only flown 10 times in last 5 years, only twice in the last 3 years. I'm content to stay home and drive out to the islands and beaches on Lake Erie over the summer and fall. I really want to travel again to the West Coast and Europe, though. Maybe 2021.

The 4Runner is quite capable, but it's so dated and ugly inside and out...I wouldn't get one over a Jeep GC (though the Toyota would likely be more reliable over 100k miles).

Wear gloves and a mask and carry some sanitizer to spray other people? I'm not getting on a plane anytime soon, maybe in a year or so if things recover. There are lots of places I'd love to go, but not until things get to a 'new normal' eventually.... I really want to go to Colorado for a week or so, been five years since I've been there, lots of friends I want to see and places I want to go...maybe next summer.

Alternative Fuels & Propulsion RANDOM
Robert Hall replied to G. David Felt's topic in Electric Vehicles and Alternative Fuels
Mouse plural is mice. I wonder if that applies to multiple computer mouse also, though? Mouses? -
Beautiful weather today. Planted some trees, enjoying a margarita now. Ordered some bbq, going to start a fire later. Enjoying isolation.

So BP still uses the SOHIO brand name at marinas in Ohio, I've seen the signs in recent years. These towers about a mile from me (Independence, OH) were BP's Cleveland HQ for a number of years, they are now a Cleveland Clinic location, but the roof lighting at night is still BP green.

Tesla seems to be THE status symbol car brand of recent years. (not necessarily reflected in sales numbers, though). -
chevrolet z28 Could the next Z28 be an EV CUV?
Robert Hall replied to G. David Felt's topic in Chevrolet
They could call it the 'CamEro'... with the 'E' for EV, and capitalizing on the common misspelling. -
Yeah, they had nice design...still remember the ding sound you would hear when you pulled in (drove over a hose to trigger it?)... I like the clean, glassy 50s-60s gas station designs, esp. those w/ the outward leaning glass... I also remember Boron stations that had the same logo as Sohio...not sure where I saw those stations, maybe when visiting relatives as a kid in Indiana and Kentucky.

1970s pic of a Sohio station at Sunset & Wilshire in Steubenville, Ohio..about a mile from my childhood home..I remember riding w/ my Dad and stopping there. It's still there, a BP station now.

What is odd is how my email got connected to him, though, considering I haven't had a Ford product registered at the family farm in 25 years.. before I got the particular email address...
-
Got an airbag recall notice email from Ford today for an '09 Ford Ranger. To my email address, but with my estranged brother's name and truck mentioned. That is weird....
-
...and more of this today....yay
-
No, but I am watching a French crime drama this evening..with Gerard Depardaieu, and he’s driving a ‘72 Chevy pickup.

Balthy's photo from ancient times, looks like a child boy with a strange hat and things in his ears...could be a girl I guess. Interesting...reality is complex, there are many things though that can be assumed, esp. for a largely English-reading audience. I'd assume most resource units reading these forums have some interest and knowledge in motor vehicles.

A boy and his dog..cute. A couple recent pics of me w/ a couple of my furs..was hard to get Henry still for a pic so he's blurry....Raine was quite still, though.

Interesting...not familiar w/ Maltron. I've tried a Dvorak keyboard years ago. Though 36 years after learning to type, I'm very comfortable w/ QUERTY. I kind of like the mechanical clicky QUERTYs, have tried some of them before. This looks pretty interesting, a typewriter style mechanical keyboard.. https://www.qwerkywriter.com
