  1. With Southwest I always get into the A boarding group then pay a few bucks extra to get in A1-A15. As far as tires go, I got a set of the Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires for my Jeep last fall, they were fine this winter...huge tires--265 50R 20s. My sister had Michelins on her Mercedes in Arizona, always liked them.
  2. Interesting...always thought those decisions were made under his watch..probably some Millennial marketing twit.
  3. No surprise at this...JdN is probably off to a Chinese car maker now...he's a chaos agent---drops into companies, stirs up a lot of shit, leaves..
  4. Just speculation at this point...I suspect the mid engine Corvette will get cancelled like every mid engined Corvette concept in the past has..
  5. W/ Southwest, I usually try and sit in the first 7 rows or so...first on, first off..
  6. Yeah, the M2 is where the M3 was a decade ago or so...the most serious BMW. The BMW for driving enthusiasts and not badge status chasing posers.
  7. Yeah, weird and sad...I fly Southwest a lot, always sit at a window seat, though rarely near the wing and engine.
  8. I bet it will be.. Actually, you have the '<' (less than) backwards above--- should read C<E<S, and 3<5<7.
  9. The 2019 Z-R1 has a 6.2L supercharged pushrod V8, WTF are you going on about regarding a 5.5 DOHC V8??
  10. I like the color on the Ford and Chevy logos--same with Pontiac, Buick, Ferrari, etc. It would be madness for the badge color the match the vehicle color, IMO.
  11. Was behind a Kia Niro this morning..first one I've seen on the road. Seemed pretty low, more like a Golf hatchback than a CUV. At the same time, there were two Sportages to my left and a Soul behind me...Parma, Oh is having a Kia invasion! There is a late model Golf GTI 5dr around that I see every few days--black, with the C-pillars painted a contrasting dark gray from the roof down to the rocker...reminds of the side blades on the 1st gen Audi R8, kind of looks neat.
  12. This just smells of desperation. There is no point in changing the badge--it's simple, clean and iconic as it is.
  13. I wonder if it be GMO-free and gluten free...
  14. Does M-B actually have any electric cars on sale right now? It's just a lot of talk and concepts at this point...
  15. Seems like they work hard at keeping the drama going...
  16. I'm sure the next gen of GM full size SUVs can't be too far off...2020-2021?
  17. IIRC, they had the Dobermans and Schnauzers at the same time...from before I was born up until I was about 6. They got along well IIRC...from about the time I was 7 or so, we had German Shepherds...later after I went off to college, my folks had Australian Shepherds and Australian Cattle Dogs. Besides Yorkies, I'm pretty fond of Australian Terriers (similar to a Silky) and West Highland White Terriers (Westies).
  18. Odd to see people actually buying then returning those various BMW and M-B models, those are usually leases--
  19. The Regal Sportback seems neat...sat in one at the auto show here last month, I like the design...though if I were shopping Regals, i'd go for the Tour-X. Too bad you can't get a regular wagon w/o the Tour-X add-on trim. I do like the LaCrosse also.
  20. My folks had Dobermans, German Shepherds and Miniature Schnauzers when I was a kid. Grew up with dogs, but it wasn't until I moved to Az a decade ago and hanging out w my sister that I got into adoptions, volunteering w a local rescue and small terriers. I love terriers, esp Westies, Aussies and Yorkies. Small dogs with huge personalities. My public persona may be a bad azz MOFO software engineer, but I'm a big softie when it comes to terriers...
  21. That is one thing cats are better at..
  22. Heh-heh...they aren't that bad..the biggest is 16 lbs, the littles are only 6lbs each...
  23. Yep...and what is funny is evergreens are such a staple of Colorado. But because of more moisture back here, they get bigger and fuller. the evergreens on the family farm south of here are huge....my folks planted a bunch about 40 years ago in the front yard, and they are huge today...
  24. Found myself out and about at 5am, saw a white '14-15 Camaro Z/28 blasting along the 480 in the rain...only seen a couple of those over the years.
  25. ^ lol..that would be terrifying...makes me think of Steven King. Speaking of dead cars, this house down the street from me has a Lincoln Mark VII LSC that I haven't seen move since I've lived here. They have an '85-86 Mustang in the garage also. The house to the left of them has a Honda S2000 in the garage, seen it out a few times.
