    Speaking of using technology, I did see a demo of someone using augmented reality goggles w/ head mounted 360 degree cameras, so they could see around themselves walking along with threats like other pedestrians and traffic highlighted on a projected screen, and distance to them, audible and visible warnings when they got close to the other objects..

    At a quick glance I thought this was a pic of WWI soldiers in a trench or something until I looked closer...

    I vaguely remember as a kid in the 70s seeing the smog and pollution along the northern Ohio River---back when the coal plants and steel industry were busy from Pittsburgh to Steubenville, Oh to Wheeling, WV and further south...

    There is also the problem with distracted pedestrians...zombies walking around not paying attention their surroundings, futzing with their phones...
  5. Robert Hall
    Yeah, largish city vs small town..I recognize those bridges over the Ohio River..driven over them before...

    That is Louisville (Luh-a-vul), KY, and the Ohio River. (have lots of relatives there). Louisville (Lewis-ville) Oh is a small town in NE Ohio...

    I was driving through a neighborhood of multi-million dollar lakefront mansions yesterday--most not tacky-blingy but older, substantial homes on wooded lots--and spied one house had two '95-97 Lincoln Town Cars (both white) in the circular driveway and a new Continental (dark blue).

    That place is about 10 miles from me, it got some 5 star reviews and some 1 star reviews on Yelp. Supposedly they have good wings. Though for wings, I usually go to Quaker Steak & Lube which about 10 min from my house.

    Saw an eclectic mix of older cars this afternoon when I went to the beach. Saw a sharp 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T in Sublime Green w a black tail stripe and rear spoiler, a black '70 Chevelle Pro Street w/ huge rear tires, no hood and a big blower w/ scoop, a sharp black '50-51 Chevy sedan delivery, a Goodwood Green '67 Corvette, a clean silver blue w/ dark blue top early 80s Olds 98 4dr and a clean dark blue w/ dark blue top early 80s Olds 88 coupe.

    There is a very clean dark green one one street over from me, I've seen it in and out of it's garage a few times, but never seen the grille so I'm not sure of the year. The most recent G8 I've seen was a dark red one in Dunkirk, NY in March.

    Not aware of an 'Alamo', may have been a San Antonio area dealer special at one time by someone. Someone did do a 'Texan' edition of a car in the 50s, saw a pic of a black one on FB last week. (don't recall what car, though). Jeep has had Laredos for decades, sure there are other Texas-themed names out there that I'm forgetting.

    Yes, yesterday was the 4th, hence my comment about 'Cuatro de Mayo' Today I'll probably go to the beach and get some seafood--Sunset Bar & Grille in Fairport Harbor opened for the season yesterday.

    Hmm...I saw the Lincoln, didn't see the Pontiac in the background at first. Googling turned up this pic, neat never heard of that variation of the '62.

    It had to have been considered quite bold for it's time w/ the integrated rear quarters and relatively flat sides. So different from the tall, humpy '48s. Seeing a '49 Ford is always special to me, since my parents' first new car was a dark blue '49 Tudor (21 years before my time, I've seen old B&W pics of it). Saw this nice Fordor in Williams, Az a couple years ago.

    More Buicks...stepped outside this morning to walk the dogs and saw a very clean '68 Skylark 2dr ht in medium blue w/ black vinyl top quietly rolling down my street...

    We've become pretty jaded if a 420hp V8 doesn't constitute high performance... They should..and in the Tahoe also. FCA has the GC SRT and Trackhawk, and Durango SRT. GM needs to have more high performance SUVs. And an Escalade V-series.
  17. Robert Hall
    Nonsense. It's been used on the Silverado and TrailBlazer, and what do you think the older SS Impalas, Chevelles, and Monte Carlos were--BOF design.
  18. Robert Hall
    Too bad they didn't call this trim level 'SS'.

    Haven't seen a Kona on the road yet, but have seen several Kia Niros around. Saw a new brown Panamera in a driveway down my street this evening. Much nicer styling than the 1st gen. Random observation--Buicks seem to be quite popular in Parma, Ohio. At my Giant Eagle grocery I saw a bunch this afternoon--Enclaves of both generations, several LaCrosses of different generations, 3 Encores, an Envision, Also had some tasty flautas and a margarita for cuatro de mayo..

    Platform sharing..I'm sure the XTS can similarly be priced up much higher than other models it shares a platform with.. or a Lexus ES compared to a Camry.

    Horses also needed to off-load processed content as well as fill-up also. Non-sequitor, filling up the average car or SUV even from nearly empty is way faster than 45 minutes...

    Saw another '06-07 Monte Carlo, this one silver and very worn--one taillight cracked out, mangled rear quarter, and plenty of rust. Saw a very clean dark gray Buick LaCrosse Super (the V8 model)...haven't seen one of those in years... And in a bit of randomness--saw a couple driveways of cross shoppers---one driveway had a white Grand Cherokee, white Explorer, and white Highlander--all late model. Another had a black Grand Cherokee and a black Merc GLS.

    I can't name a car subscription service, but I can see the appeal of such a service...could make sense for people like 'blu that change vehicles every few months.

    Saw a very clean very beige shortbed Chevy pickup, approx. 1983 going by the grille. Had dual exhausts and a nice rumble. Also saw a silver Camry with a 'Camry Nation' decal...I guess every model of car has it's own fandom..
  25. Robert Hall
    That name would be perfect for an EV....
