  1. For someone creative, it could be the basis of an interesting resto mod. Mount the body shell on an Escalade chassis, keep the Escalade drivetrain and front clip...
  2. They are doing that here also. These are strange days for sure. It will be interesting to see what long term changes and unintended consequences come of all of this.
  3. It's going to be a lot of not good for a lot of people, I'm afraid.. it seems like a lot of quick, panicky decisions, not well thought out.
  4. I think they've closed schools statewide in Ohio for the next 3 weeks, and universities/colleges have closed classrooms.
  5. Most of the developers and management have laptops at my client, but many of the people working on the business domain side (claims processors, actuaries, etc) have desktops along w/ the customer support staff.. Rogan's a comedian/MMA/podcaster though..not a journalist or anyone authoritative or serious. Just another talking head.
  6. Just had a conference call all hands w/ my client...the CEO advised everyone that can to work from home that they can, but a lot of people in the offices (Scottsdale and Tampa) have desktops and not laptops.
  7. Haven’t tried Zoom or Slack. My client is moving from Skype to Teams though I use WebEx with the offshore teams.
  8. No idea. I thought maybe he got a new job and that’s been keeping him busy.
  9. #eatwellpoopwell #bigamericanbowelmovements Speaking of toilets, when I remodel my main bathroom I’m going to get one of the high end Toto toilets w/ the bidet, lid that rises to greet you, heated seat, WiFi, remote control app, etc.
  10. It’s always good to stock up on toilet paper, though. I always like to keep at least a dozen rolls on hand in each bathroom, and a couple dozen extra stashed away.
  11. He’s doing what he can to protect his financial interests. He couldn’t care less for the citizenry except for his base and how he can exploit their fears.
  12. I like the front end on the late Grahams...saw one at a show once. Some Streamline Moderne/art deco influences in that front trim..
  13. Ok, so the bulb was sealed in the lens/reflector housing..I remember how the big round lights used on '60s-70s cars looked when removed... There was some variety in headlight lens shapes in the 30s, IIRC from pictures I've seen the '39 Plymouth for example had squarish lights.
  14. Pretty much all automakers in the US went to sealed beam in '40, didn't they? Never was sure why they were called 'sealed beam'...so were their predecessors 'non sealed' ?
  15. Quite different now for starting out than in the 90s I would think..
  16. Well, my Masters degree is in Computer Science. It's served me well the last 25+ years...degrees that are relevant to growth fields are always a good idea..
  17. Reality is complex..going to be interesting what happens over the next few months.
  18. The best $15k, 20k, 25k 30k vehicles in my opinion are a 3 yr old CPOs...just too many dull FWD 4cyl appliances under $30k.
  19. True, and the full size SUVs are new, as is the Corvette. The rest of their US product line is just forgettable FWD appliances.
  20. Can't think of a much, beyond a couple 4 cyl gray interior despair mobiles like the Mirage and Spark...
  21. Which are being built...ChargePoint, etc...
  22. It definitely wasn't an S-class... dark blue cloth interior IIRC..strange, funky little hatchback.
  23. Everything I've read about it is that it is a trouble prone POS, esp. those stupid falcon doors...
  24. Driving in Italy is definitely an adventure...I enjoyed my vacations there back in the mid 00s...driving a diesel manual Mercedes A140 from Rome to Pompeii and Salerno (along the Amalfi coast) and back was an adventure. And driving from Milan to the lakes up north in a Vectra diesel was fun. I remember the fast food at Spizzico's in the Autogrill rest areas to be tasty.
