The 2019 Z-R1 has a 6.2L supercharged pushrod V8, WTF are you going on about regarding a 5.5 DOHC V8?? -
VW News: The Volkswagen Emblem Will Be Getting A Makeover
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in Volkswagen
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. -
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.

This just smells of desperation. There is no point in changing the badge--it's simple, clean and iconic as it is. -

Does M-B actually have any electric cars on sale right now? It's just a lot of talk and concepts at this point... -

I'm sure the next gen of GM full size SUVs can't be too far off...2020-2021? -
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).

Odd to see people actually buying then returning those various BMW and M-B models, those are usually leases--

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.

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...

That is one thing cats are better at..

Heh-heh...they aren't that bad..the biggest is 16 lbs, the littles are only 6lbs each...
-
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...

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.

^ 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.

Everything in my subdivision is mid 60s vintage brick ranches and split levels....the Cleveland area definitely feels more northeast than midwest to me. She's actually only about 12lbs...but long....not sure what she is, I think maybe an Australian Terrier/Daushund mix...

Rain rain rain and more rain here this weekend. Was 70s-80s Thurs and Friday. My backyard is partially flooded. Been watching the Indy Car race from Long Beach (a race I went to for years when I lived out West). Raine is hogging the couch.

I still think they should do AMG versions of the Metris and Sprinter.

Fun factoids...the original Isuzu Rodeo was named the Isuzu MU in Japan--with MU standing for Mysterious Utility. The 2dr (called the Amigo in the US was sold as the Honda Jazz in Japan. The 5dr had many identities world wide---Isuzu Wizard, Chevy Frontera, Holden Frontera, Vauxhall Frontera, Opel Frontera, Chevy Rodeo, Isuzu Wizard, Isuzu Cameo and Isuzu Vega...

Saw a clean red '74-77 Corvette at Dunkin Donuts this morning...had silver t-tops and some rims that looked like they came off of a C5. Also saw this morning the two local Trailblazer SSes I see occasionally--the clean silver one (now has a cowl induction style hood) and the beater gray one. On Thursday evening was out enjoying the weather and went to a beach, saw a sharp turquoise '67 Plymouth Fury 2dr ht from a distance..very nice and rumbly..loud under acceleration..

Reminds me of a model of the Type 2 that VW built for lumberyards, pipe haulers, etc. Saw a pic of one a while back, can't find it now.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 Bought 25,000 miles Currently 36,000 miles Difference 11,000 miles approx $27500 - 24292 = $3208 depreciation $0.29 per mile. FWIW, the MSRP of a '17 equipped the same was $46460. I'm happy I bought CPO a year ago. (very few differences between a '14 and '17 at the same trim level).

The pizza delivery guy tonight was driving a silver late model Merc C63 AMG.
