  1. I quit energy drinks maybe 10 years ago. I do enjoy a few Cokes or Cherry Cokes ( the European size mini cans) every week as an afternoon pickup... can’t stand the taste of diet sodas. But for caffeine I have 3-4 cups of coffee every morning before 10.. with the time change I’ve been needing an extra cup...been sleeping in until 8.
  2. I did stock up on dog treats and dog food from Amazon..that came today. And jerky, snacks, etc. I've been pretty much quarantined since the beginning of February, so nothing new. Got plenty of TP, paper towels, cleaning supplies. Just ordered some Omaha Steaks and fixins from Amazon, going to do some grilling..
  3. The doomsday preppers and end times believers must be feeling validated these days. Surreal days.
  4. Would like to see interior pics of the Porsche shooting brake...strange to imagine a mid engined wagon. I like the side profile.
  5. Attending the local Big Data meet up virtually over a Zoom room instead of in person...
  6. It will be interesting to see what happens in F1 this year...if the season does indeed start in May or get cancelled completely... <sarcasm> They should just can cancel the rest of the season and give the championships to M-B and Hamilton, as that is the usual predictable result.. </sarcasm>
  7. I'd be happy with a base C8 (maybe w/ the Z51 suspension option) in Zeus Bronze w/ full tan interior..
  8. I don't know if it will be the Z06 or the ZR1, but I'd love to see a street C8 with the wing and bodywork of the C8R...
  9. The AMG One might have been interesting 5 years ago, but now it would be just another hypercar.. Koenigseggegg is doing some really interesting things w/ ICE design.
  10. An EV Vette would be cool to see down the road... will be interesting to see the kind of performance Tesla gets out of their new roadster.. The AMG One is mythical, I would think the Tesla Roadster is more likely to happen and be faster..
  11. They really were the same except for minor trim differences and the front and taillights. The Comet had a bulging hood/grille/bumper center section.
  12. Maverick
  13. Amazon Prime/Whole Foods is having issues..tried to place an grocery order and they couldn't schedule a delivery time tomorrow (or any other day this week). So I went to the local Giant Eagle (NE Ohio/W Pa chain) this afternoon, no more crowded than usual for a Sunday (worst day to go grocery shopping), they were pretty much out of bread and meat, no TP or paper towels either. But I found pretty much everything on my list. I'm not sure if someone has a sense of humor or what, but back by the empty meat counters there was a shopping cart chock full of packages of condoms with a 20% off discount sign.
  14. Would be nice, but most likely they will create an XT7 off the generic Traverse, etc platform. Their RWD based models are superior to GMs FWD generics though.
  15. GM isn't in that niche...they make volume FWD/transverse engine appliance CUVs and heavy BOF full size SUVs.
  16. Strange times. I haven't been to the grocery lately---Amazon Prime/Whole Foods deliveries have been fine.. though they are out of TP (I have plenty though).
  17. None of that means anything in the real world, though. Using Nurburgring numbers with an SUV is absurd.
  18. It kind of is. GM has withdrawn from many markets, cut most of their sedan models and continues to lose market share. Other than NA trucks and full size SUVs, they have no market leadership or dominant products. It’s time to go big for the future or go home.
  19. 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...
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. I think they've closed schools statewide in Ohio for the next 3 weeks, and universities/colleges have closed classrooms.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. Haven’t tried Zoom or Slack. My client is moving from Skype to Teams though I use WebEx with the offshore teams.
