Robert Hall

With spring in the air, looking into waterproof bluetooth patio speakers so I can enjoy my tunes outside (already have bluetooth speakers in the hot tub that I use when I'm relaxing in there). Lately, been listening to a bit of everything ...first the new..discovered this band when listening to a modern indie rock channel on Sirius XM the other day--'The Beaches', an all-female band from Toronto--this single 'Edge of the Earth' is very catchy...great guitar and harmonies. And of course listening to plenty of classic and 80s rock--Robert Plant both solo in the 80s and with the incomparable Jimmy Page in 70s Led Zeppelin... 'Ship of Fools" 29 Palms: Little by Little: LZ 'In the Evening': And probably my favorite LZ track--the heavy, bluesy, locomotive feel of 'When the Levee Breaks'.. Mix it up with some obscure 80s I love--'The Whole of the Moon' by The Waterboys.

Got my license plate the other day, looked into removing front bracket, would leave 5 holes. May try plugs eventually. Currently using this metal logo plate I got off eBay.

Dominate (or)

The sedan was China only apparently.

That was also another example where the sedan and non-wagon 5dr hatchback are the same length. I don't recall if the US got the sedan version or only the hatchback...traditionally US market wagons had more rear overhang than sedans and thus were longer...but it's been a long time since there have been many examples of traditional sedan and wagon body styles in one model range in the US (since the 80s-90s when GM had the A-body and B-body still around, or Ford w/ the Taurus/Sable for several generations, etc...)

Yeah, then there are cases where the hatchbacks that are the same size as the sedan, like the Mondeo where w/ the last generation the sedan and liftback were virtually indistinguishable in profile. The wagon version may have been longer.

Meh...just another forgettable appliance. What's up with no rear window?

A local dealer has one, white also with like 38k miles for $69k. I looked at a 2020 CT6 Platinum w/ the 3.6 for $55k w/ 35k miles. Also looked at a 2019 CT6 Sport (I think that was the trim level?--didn't have the chrome window trim).., I didn't realize how low the production numbers for 2019 and 2020 CT6 in all specs were, like 7500 in 2019 and 3600 in 2020...

Looks like a Cupra. Spin-off brand of SEAT...yet another VWAG brand.

Yeah, the Charger is still the standard w/ the Ohio Highway Patrol as far as I can tell...here in suburbia it's a mix of Chargers, Explorers, Tahoes and still some Tauruses and Caprices to be seen around metro CLE.

My company recognizes Pii day by sending out a coupon for free pie....haven't used mine yet, good through April 30th.

Yeah, Ohio still a 2 plate state until a couple years ago.

Took some interior pics and evening shots out at a local state park. Nice evening for a cruise. Sunroof open and rocking some Pink Floyd and Depeche Mode.

I like the current gen Malibu...I've rented a couple since 2017. The dearth of sedans from the traditional Big 3 is a sad state...I just can't get into the CUVs that the market is flooded with.

Nice weather today, got the Mustang out to take some family photos...

I need a mid 80s Fleetwood Brougham de’ Elegance to go with this.

It is the ‘premium luxury’ trim. Only options on top of that are the ‘comfort and technology’ package with rear camera mirror, HUD, ventilated front seats, heated rear seat and the 20 inch wheels. Total on the original sticker was $66570. No Supercruise. @David Madrid sounds fun. How is the food? With my job the only place I travel to is Plano.

I've been to Myrtle Beach a couple times, but over 30 years ago. Never been to the Outer Banks either. My sister has spent the last 3 months in Myrtle Beach w/ trips to Savannah, Beaufort SC, other places on the SC coast along with a long weekend in Miami Beach. She thought the SC coast was wetter and colder this year than last year..she probably will winter in Miami next year for at least January-Feb.

3.6 w/ 10 spd auto. I drove one with the 3.0 twin turbo, a CT5 with the 3.0 and a CT5 with a 2.0 4.

Yep....treated myself to a new (to me) car today. Had been looking, did a few test drives of CT5s and CT6s, found this minty 2019 CT6 AWD w/ 54k miles at the Cadillac dealer in downtown CLE. Took a test drive, fell in love. Going to take it on my road trip to the Outer Banks and Myrtle Beach next month. Hadn't really intended on getting another black car...but couldn't find one in red in the state.

Spotted this in my driveway this afternoon...

Sunny Feb Sunday in CLE. My Jeep still looks great at 10 yrs old and 78k miles.

Nice sunny Sunday. Went to the Cleveland Auto Show. Some highlights…saw thr Cybertruck. Bigger and uglier in person than in photos. I like the S650 Mustang, though still prefer the S550 styling. The Cadillac Escalade IQ is bigger in person than in photos. Love the Lyriq rear end. I love the C8 Corvette. Sat in the blue one. The red CT5 is really calling my name. There were classics on display also, took a bunch of pics of the ‘66 Toro for my sister. She wants one, she’s wanted one since it came out and she was 9. Relaxing now at Hofbrauhaus downtown. Time flies, can’t believe March 1 is coming up. (Quarterly stock grant time). And in unrelated good news, had my annual review and got a promotion to Staff Software Engineer.

I think I saw that an exec at M-B was commenting about future M-B EVs have to look like M-B cars and not look like jelly beans. I think they realize they went too far.
