    Drove a couple hundred miles Friday night after flying into West Palm Beach, in heavy rain up the coast to Daytona Beach. This morning I watched SUVs driving back and forth on Daytona Beach from my 8th floor hotel room, incl a dark red GC Trackhawk or SRT. Rainy, foggy and windy. Later on I-95 in GA I saw a very clean white w black top ‘70 Bonneville 4dr ht cruising along. Saw a red Challenger Hellcat Redeye widebody. Trax running fine. Tired, stopped early near Beaufort, SC.

    Cool. Will have to check out the videos.

    I wasn't aware they had shown an electrified F-150..but maybe I haven't been paying attention..I knew they were working with electric F150 mules at one point. I found this, hadn't seen this article from a couple days ago... https://insideevs.com/news/395662/render-ford-electric-pickup-truck/

    The Rivian pickup is a single configuration, as is the Highlander. So I could see a Ford EV truck on the Rivian platform in a single configuration. Make sense?? I don't think I ever said F150 specifically...I just said 'Ford truck'. i was just speculating. I don’t know what’s going to happen. Obviously from the context of the thread I'm talking about the upcoming Ford EV truck, not the ICE F-series that's their moneymaker..that's not going to go away...

    I didn't say they would. But for an EV pickup, there may be only one configuration at first...has Ford even said the EV truck would branded as an F150? It may be something altogether different, as far the naming...
  6. Robert Hall
    Who knows, they may go the route of the R1T with a only single configuration. I guess it all depends on how serious Ford is about building a EV truck..is it simply a marketing stunt for Ford, or are they committed?
  7. Robert Hall
    Gakk...that thing is a special kind of hideous... tasteless bling trash.
  8. Robert Hall
    Maybe they have come up with means of fitting batteries, electric motors, etc into a modified F150 frame...Rivian technology integrated w/ Ford hardware... But I don't know..on the hand, it sounds like the Lincoln EV SUV could be a reskinned R1S w/ a Lincoln interior... could a Ford pickup be a reskinned R1T with a Ford interior? Only time will tell...(Note, I'm OBVIOUSLY talking about a FUTURE FORD EV PICKUP, NOT the regular ICE F series). (wish I could put this in 36 pt font).

    Found this article, supposedly the 2021 Escalade will be launched next Tuesday in Beverly Hills. https://www.cnet.com/g00/roadshow/news/cadillac-escalade-suv-debut/?i10c.ua=4&i10c.encReferrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8%3d&i10c.dv=15

    The official release is soon, isn't it? So far of the images I've seen, production or not, the Yukon--esp. the Denali--is the best looking of the new biggies IMO...

    Congrats on the new car. Beautiful machine. I'm looking forward to driving a CT6 eventually...wouldn't mind a CPO one down the road. I love the size and design. I do like bombing around in the hoopie STS occasionally...

    Interesting...I wonder if they will engineer in short circuits for starting random fires..that was one thing the mid engined Ferraris were quite well known for (though usually fuel system related).

    No, she's coming back w/ me. it's a crazy story...she drove down just after New Years to start a 4 month contract project (she's a management consultant). Planning to stay there in an extended stay hotel instead of her usual weekly flying back and forth, wanted to get away for the winter. But she broke her foot yesterday morning in a freak accident, pretty much impossible to get to her office, can't really drive, having trouble w/ crutches. Can't fly with a broken foot. So she wants to come to Ohio to recuperate and the client is going to let her work remotely...better to be with family than by herself with a broken foot.. The Trax has Sirius XM and I've driven it around Arizona in the past, it's not as nice to drive as my Jeep, but it's ok..and the weather doesn't sound like it will be that bad up I-95 and I-77...it just had an oil change, new wipers, etc.just past 20k miles.

    Finally got most of the details nailed down..got a dog sitter for the weekend, a flight Friday afternoon from Cleveland down to West Palm Beach. Then driving my sister's Chevy Trax back to Ohio...
  15. Robert Hall
    Yeah, I think those vents have the same function as weird louvers on the Silverado, but not as crude and ugly.. Silverados unfortunately look like the front fender doesn't fit properly..
  16. Robert Hall
    and given Hennessey's reputation for shady business I'd be surprised if their modded stuff would last 10k miles...

    The 50s saw quite a few changes in industry-wide styling trends from the beginning of the decade to the end of the decade.. maybe moreso than many other decades.
  18. Robert Hall
    Yes.. XT6. I think I still prefer the strong front vertical lighting elements of the current Escalade. The horizontal lights look rather small...
  19. Robert Hall
    Nice..glad they didn't put horizontal elements in the taillights. The front looks like it has a lot of XT6 detail scaled up...
  20. Robert Hall
    And note the logo clearly implies trucks. Unless they are going to sedans w/ vertical rear windows and long decklids ::)

    Looks like I have a random unplanned road trip I have to take this weekend. Wasn't planning on going anywhere this weekend..

    Saw a surprisingly clean 2nd MCE first gen Cavalier 4dr...white. Haven't seen one of those in ages. Just like this one.

    I'm sure one could, but it would be a lot of work. I like vehicles that come with warranties, predictably start, have working A/C and don't require hours and hours of wrenching. Get in, drive, enjoy..I need another fun car..(I don't really want a Tesla, though, lots of ICE vehicles that are quite appealing to me).
  24. Robert Hall
    Those aren't for real world use, though, right? ...stuff built for drag racing has no bearing on real world performance cars. I don't think people are necessarily building drag racers out of a Model S..definitely too heavy for that use case..I'm talking about real world performance...a Model S in ludicrous mode is 2.4 sec 0 to 60, .that's very quick for a real car with a warranty, working A/C, cup holders and all the essentials...
  25. Robert Hall
    I'm sure someone will ICE an EV at some point, but it doesn't really make sense... seems pointless. With a Tesla, for instance, no performance advantage would likely occur from a lot of work to ICE it, since it's so fast the way it is in ludicrous mode.
