    I was disappointed. As I was leaving, they uncovered them—3 Wranglers with Michigan Mfgr plates. But the cowl area was covered over. And lots of cables inside. Maybe the diesel or PHEV out being tested? Or the rumored future straight six?

    Saw these at a service plaza on the Ohio Turnpike. Broncos I suspect going by the shape and size, rear mounted spare.

    Saw a clean dark blue 90s Buick Roadmaster hearse, padded top w/ a huge light on top, like a Michigan State Police light but yellow.

    Reminds me of my college car, an '86 LX..though mine was gray and didn't have a luggage rack. Here's a pic of mine along w/ my '87 GT, taken about 30 years ago...

    Those are weird edge cases, though...most drivers didn't rack up those kind of miles on cars of that era...

    But the consumer E-class likely has far more cabin electronics that will likely fail over time. But consumers generally don't drive 300k miles; maybe 35k on a 3 year lease? And then the 2nd owner is on their own with the horror as the miles accumulate and it goes out of warranty...

    Those are stripped-down diesels, though. Normal consumers in the US don't buy those.

    Ick...always watching out for deer in my neighborhood... lots of woods and lots of deer going through the yards and families of them crossing the street.. Here's a video of some deer wandering in my driveway yesterday afternoon... RingVideo-6745529747971080793.MP4

    Saw this Transit at a light...license plate 'UGHAVAN'... heh-heh. Also saw a solid yellow w/ white top '74-ish 2dr AMC Hornet w/ vintage red Arizona license plates.

    That's the ZR2 badge...

    So no bumper across the front...that grille seems vulnerable..I wonder if there is a horizontal crash bar behind the grille. Not sure about the styling...too much Magneto's Helmet/ Camaro SS with a touch of Silverado HD.

    Had some fun w/ the configurator for the C8. Here is how I'd spec one. Corvette 3LT w/ Z51 package 19" front/­20" rear 5-trident-spoke machined-face Spectra Gray-painted aluminum wheels. Color: Either Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic, Zeus Bronze Metallic, or Long Beach red Metallic tintcoat (+$995). Interior: natural dipped w/ Napa leather seats (tan) (looks like a nice peanut butter/caramel tan) $78440

    This image reminds me of the '68 full size Buick Wildcat front and rear ends..

    I enjoy real induction and exhaust noises in a performance car. Not fake, but not in a daily driver. It's all about context...
  15. Robert Hall
    Same here. I want a very quiet serene cabin w/ minimal road noise and minimal or no engine noise. I want to listen to my music w/ clarity, whether it's classical, classic rock, new wave, jazz, synthwave, etc.. One area of cabin noise that automakers could improve on is the HVAC system....hate the noise of the fan when the A/C or heat is cranked up.
  16. Robert Hall
    Yes, I could see that as an option...lots of customizability is a good thing. I loathe the look of carbon fiber, but I know some would like it. If I had a C8, I'd want that brown/bronze w/ a tan interior, monochromatic exterior trim. Or the dark green w/ a tan interior. I like subtle dark colors, not Skittles colors.
  17. Robert Hall
    I wonder if the convertible will be available w/ the roof and roof cover pods in body color. Would look better than the black w/ some colors, IMO.
  18. Robert Hall
    I wonder what percentage of Corvette buyers order one vs buy from dealer stock.
  19. Robert Hall
    When the CUV craze dies out, will buyers want sedans again? I think the Asian brands are smart in not abandoning the segment.
  20. Robert Hall
    Corporate incompetence, I'd assume.
  21. Robert Hall
    I think so..same wheelbase..probably the same dirty bits, different 'top hat'... odd to group them, though.
  22. Robert Hall
    I saw a new Regal at the grocery this morning...was about 75 feet away, w/ the lights on. At first I thought it was a BMW 3/4 hatchback from that distance in the early morning gloom...gray, with a round badge and those taillights..
  23. Robert Hall
    Well, that is 27 years...getting pretty old and into classic/collector car territory and outside of typical used cars before that...a typical used car buyer probably isn't going to be looking at models that old. There are specialist sites/price guides for older models.
  24. Robert Hall
    I'm in love w/ their wagons...their sedans are really nice also, IMO. Don't know how they drive, but I love the interior and exterior styling.
  25. Robert Hall
    While sitting at a light I saw this clean '66 Ford F100 at a gas station..just out of the picture to the left behind a bus stop was a turquoise '66 Mustang convertible and a primered 1950-ish Chevy panel truck. Also saw a clean white w/ white interior '74 Pontiac Grand Ville convertible in traffic, rolling top down on this unseasonable 90 degree afternoon...
