Was -3F this morning when I got up.. Now up to 1F and sunny..heat wave coming, supposed to be 50 Sunday..which will melt all the snow and make a mess...
-
Cold and sunny today...high was -1 today. Supposed to be -5 at 7am tomorrow. Haven't been outside today, but got to roll out the wheely bins in the morning..

Carvana has a similar 'vending machine' stack here off the 271.

Yes, I think the market is past the point where EVs have to be weird to be accepted, normalized styling will be an asset going forward.. I wonder if GM, Nissan and Toyota will get that, though..the Bolt, Leaf and Prius are all still pretty weird...

Greenhouse looks like the current 4 series Gran Coupe.

Never saw seatbelts in school buses back in the day, I remember reading the theory at the time was thick padded seats were enough for kiddos bouncing around. -
That is sharp..would like to see a CT6 in that color.

GMC News: GMC Considers Whether It Should Do An Electrified Sierra
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in GMC Trucks
Never seen mileage that good since then...but on freeway road trips on I-90 and I-80 I've seen 24-25 mpg regularly--which is good for a 5000lb SUV, IMO. I have a few decent length trips planned for the spring/summer---Detroit and Ann Arbor, maybe a coastal trip in Michigan, down to Louisville, KY to visit cousins, up to Buffalo and Niagara Falls.. -
On my '14 Jeep, the heated seats and wheel are on the Controls menu item instead of Apps. Probably differs with newer UConnect versions. And they are also there on the splash screen, which is when I usually turn them on.

Haven't seen that green on the Regal..very nice. I love the '70s looking metallic apple green (not sure of the name) I've seen on the Challenger, Charger and 300. I really the browns I've seen on several vehicles--Jeep has a couple and I've seen a nice one on the Regal Tour X. I also love dark reds, like wine colors. I've had dark metallic gray and dark metallic blue in the past, along w/ bright red.

GMC News: GMC Considers Whether It Should Do An Electrified Sierra
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in GMC Trucks
On road trips, I always fill up at a half a tank. Usually like to stop for a bio break and to stretch my legs every hour or hour and a half. When I was driving across the void on I-40 I didn't want to go below a half a tank because exits and gas stations can be far apart. On that trip I got really good gas mileage, one tankful averaged like 28.x mpg.- 26 replies

Given how buggy software, is I don't trust computers to completely take control of a car. I work in the software industry, there is a lot of bad code out there and bad programmers... unless systems are built to the level of reliability and quality of NASA space mission systems or airplane auto pilot systems, I wouldn't trust them. I especially don't trust a bunch of fucking Silicon Valley millennial 'bro-grammers'...

Yeah, I wouldn't mind being down there this week...my sister is going to Miami next week leaving for a Caribbean cruise for a week..

Somedays it just feels like the country is in it's death spiral... -
I kind of like the metallic black on my Jeep, though I'd prefer metallic brown or a dark red metallic. About the only modern car I like in white is the Challenger.

Alas, such is the nature of global companies...far too many US-based companies are dependent on China for electronics and consumer product manufacturing. -
I don't use cruise control, so I'm not sure the advantage of adaptive..maybe in heavy traffic freeway driving with lots of stop and go?
-
Hehheh..of course, in Scottsdale black was the dominant color for luxury cars and SUVs, with white a close second. I'll never forget sitting at the car wash w/ my Jeep one cool, sunny April Saturday morning...one black SUV (Grand Cherokee, Merc ML or GL, BMW X5, Audi Q5 or Q7, after another... and how more alike than different they are in terms of the chrome trim usage, interior colors, etc.
-
I can see how they would be. After 33 years of driving, I don't need this shit in a car.

Robert Hall replied to G. David Felt's topic in Electronics and Technology
Hilarious.... I don't think of computers in this way. Printers, on the other hand, I think of as piles of shit. -
I know white is very popular in parts of the US on luxury vehicles..I saw it lot in AZ and So Cal. It's just so damn bland...

The front end reminds me of Volkswagen, or older Honda.. -
I like dark metallic gray exteriors..it's gray interiors I loathe...'despair' gray is what I call it, esp. cheap econobox plastics. But a dark gray exterior w/ red leather interior is great, IMO. I love metallic browns also. White and silver are colors I tend to avoid, though silver does look good on luxury sedans, it's overused. But not as overused as black and white are on SUVs..so tired of white SUVs w/ black wheels--way overdone in recent years.
