    Clever plate...I've thought of getting 'NO CUBE'. A lot of people wouldn't get understand it, though.
  2. Robert Hall
    Lol..close, that's the pre-facelift 11-13 GC..and an Overland.

    I ran across an FB post the other day on the Jeep FC...they were sold in the US from '56-65, then Willys sold or licensed the tooling to Mahindra, where they were built for several decades in India, including a passenger van and minibus version...

    Cool...never programmed on anything like that, my first experiences were BASIC then Pascal on TRS-80s in high school...then in college got into C and UNIX, working on a variety of workstations...even did COBOL on a Vax green screen..

    Working in the remote office for a while today.

    I find w/ my dealer it's a couple hours minimum with an appointment. I usually take my laptop and sit in the lounge and work. Sitting in a doctor's office waiting room working now.

    I have heard a variety of good and bad about them...I've used AWS and other products for years, so I know their technology is solid. Who knows, maybe in a few years I'll be ready for a change of scenery. I like being back in NE Ohio for now but there are pragmatic reasons I'm here that will eventually be worked out and I'd be open to moves down the road..I do miss some aspects of living in the West (not the desert).

    I need to watch it...I've been a long time off and on F1 fan..I really enjoyed the documentary '1' from a few years ago, along with 'Senna' and 'Rush'...

    Living in the Seattle area, have you done a gig at Amazon? Recruiters at Amazon are always pinging me about opportunities with AWS and their other enterprise products...

    I really never got much into video games as a kid and teenager in the 80s, but became fascinated by software and making it all work..programming languages, operating systems, compilers..first with a Commodore 64, then TRS-80s, then UNIX workstations in college and grad school. Though I did contemplate becoming a math major and becoming an academic before getting into web development in the mid 90s..

    I’m sure. I would think programming would have been difficult in the space constrained earlier years...not to mention the punched card user interfaces.. I do remember working with green screen terminals in college..

    Here's some fun old ads... Had I been born a decade or so earlier, this one below could have been me.... a cool dude working on a Cray Supercomputer... Or working here...Lawrence Livermore Lab in the 70s...

    Pic taken last year just before Xmas. It reminds me I need a haircut again..

    Dreary gray day outside that still looks like winter, but saw a couple sweet newish Mopies out rumbling around...a green Charger SRT and a black Challenger SRT, one behind the other going down a frost-heaved potholed major street near mea..

    The 86/BRZ sounds like it would be a really fun backroad car for Ohio's twisty backroads. Though I'd probably enjoy a Miata more w/ the top down. But would have to deal w/ 60-90 min of freeway to get to my favorite back roads.

    Getting an oil change soon on my Jeep. Been almost a year and 6000 miles since the last oil change.
  17. Robert Hall
    I wonder if they will do a regular 1-series sedan eventually...something comparable to the A-class sedan.

    Listening to jazz artist Grace Kelly...got turned on to her music by this track 'By The Grave' that is the theme music for Michael Connelly's podcast 'Murder Book'....would fit in well with my Crime Jazz compilation CDs.

    And vice versa, doesn't VW own a majority stake in Porsche?
  20. Robert Hall
    SUVs are Porsche's moneymakers..without them, the brand would have been dead 15 years ago. I figure making lots of performance SUVs enables them to build sports cars, which is a good thing...
  21. Robert Hall
    That's why I said 2dr version of the Panamera, their V8 hatchback sports sedan. Make a big GT hatchback coupe...
  22. Robert Hall
  23. Robert Hall
    They should do a 2dr coupe version of the Panamera and call it 928..

    Yah, and the guy across the street's '18 Mustang sounds like that also...(2.3 Ecoboost version). There are several fun cars on my street... one guy has a silver S2000, there is a dark red 1st gen Miata in great shape, a black Grand National I've never seen out of the garage, and a red '04-06 GTO around the corner.

    I loved Breaking Bad, and it's prequel Better Call Saul. About the only current network TV shows I watch are Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Orville. I do watch a lot on streaming--Bosch and The Grand Tour from Amazon, Star Trek: Discovery on CBS All Access, and a lots of British and Scandanavian/Nordic crime dramas on various streaming outlets. About the only sports I watch with any regularity are NFL football, Indy Car Series races, and F1 races. Still enjoy getting up early on Sunday mornings for F1 races. And movies of all sorts..even black and white and once in a great while silent films...no fear of subtitles...I love Hong Kong action/crime films, French dramas, etc.
