  1. Sorta kinda a replacement for the late Beetle and Eos cabriolets. Those were neat cars...I can see the appeal of such a convertible...not a performance car, but a cruiser..saw a brown Eos on the ferry out to Kelleys Island last Saturday..on a sunny, 75 degree summer day it could be fun.
  2. Yeah, by making extra payments I've knocked off almost a year so far. My goal is to pay off the 30 year in 15-20 years, which is doable, though I may move before then.
  3. Neat...kind of a budget Evoque cabriolet. Not sure how big the market for a crossover cabrio is... but, I like seeing offbeat stuff like this.
  4. I've made a extra payments to get my 30 to 26 years now (2 1/2 years into it)...may look into a 15 year. But I may be getting another mortgage for a vacation home sooner than later...
  5. No, just an idiot. They were seized when he was arrested last year, but he may get them back after probation ends next year..but that's neither here nor there. Anyway, the automakers shift to CUVs and SUVs seems short sighted if a downturn is coming...smaller, cheaper cars seem more likely to sell in a down market...
  6. My idiot brother had 45...
  7. Yeah, the older ZJ (93-98) and WJ (99-04) GCs had solid front axles. They went to IRS with the WK ('05-10). I've had both a WJ ('00) and now a WK2 ('14) and love them..... Wranglers are fun off road toys, wouldn't mind having one for the weekends, but no bueno as a daily driver, IMO. Though I have a few friends that daily Wrangler Unlimiteds and love them. I prefer the GC's refinement and creature comforts.
  8. Heh heh..just a pile of a few weeks of Prime delivery boxes, need to recycle...
  9. Current TLX has been around since 2014, so it's probably based on the 9th generation Accord platform that was around 5 years ago..
  10. My new wheel barrel is on point with the blackout trim and wheel package fad seen on current utility vehicles...
  11. An early 'donk'... heh-heh...
  12. Yeah, the only instances of DW with GCs I've heard of were with the ZJs and WJs which had solid front axles, and was pretty uncommon w/ them...it's a Wrangler thing.
  13. That's all theoretical at this point, though...if it ever gets into production, then maybe such numbers might mean something...but who cares. Outside of a few journos or M-B test drivers, it will never see a track.
  14. BMW already has plenty of CUVs and SUVs, they don’t need LR.
  15. It would be more compelling if it were a pure EV than a passé hybrid.... ..and that it makes 1000hp makes it an also-ran, the Chiron already makes 1500hp, without the hybrid gimmick. The AMG One is just a lot of hype that means nothing. AMG Zero would be a better name.
  16. Considering the C7 is out of production, it’s a moot point.
  17. Wonder if it has 2 V8s under the hood...I've toyed around w/ building something like that in 1/25th scale w/ a couple Revell models.
  18. Which doesn't matter...no one buying a hypercar cares about the EV gimmick.
  19. Saw a neat pic today of a custom Green Buick of that era w a chopped 3 window roof on the FB. Will post if I can find it again.
  20. If it ever sees a track...it will be just another garage queen hyper car that catches fire and means nothing. Just another pointless exercise soon to be forgotten when the next faster thing appears.
  21. Ironic considering BMW owned LR back in the 90s...
  22. Beautiful day..sunny, not too warm. Went out to Kelleys Island in Lake Erie, took the ferry from Marblehead out to the island and rented a golf cart to get around...that was fun...neat place... saw a sharp red and cream '56 Chevy Bel Air 2dr ht and a clean dark blue late 80s Camaro IROC-Z on the island. Driving back on the 90 saw along the freeway on the westside of Cleveland a warehouse with a row of 10-12 VW Vanagons, with a few Rabbits and Beetles in various states of decay.
  23. The Caddy dealer in Phoenix that was in my neighborhood moved their GMC and Buick dealer areas across the street---they acquired a former Enterprise rental car property and changed their used lot to new. They had previously been a Pontiac/Buick/GMC/Cadillac dealer on one corner. Here in NE Ohio the Caddy dealers all seem to be stand alone, though one has an Buick/GMC dealer at a separate site.
  24. Hmmm...wheels with 360 degree pivot would be great for drifting, I think..
  25. Speaking of GMC, there had been a rumor of a GMC 'Jimmy' BOF RWD/AWD SUV based on the next Colorado platform, but I saw an article that it's a no-go, so sounds like GMC will stick w/ the transverse engine AWD platforms for their CUVs.
