  1. ^ the truck w/ the patina looks like a '38-39 Ford? The early 60s Studebaker pickup cab and front was derived from the Lark car. There are a few examples of Japanese pickups that were made like the Studebaker--the Isuzu Faster (1st gen Chevy LUV) regular cab and double cab used the doors, cab and front clip derived from the Isuzu Florian sedan, for example... (why I know this, I don't know..I have a head for weird automotive trivia..too many years of reading car magazines and the Wikipedia)
  2. Yeah, they were nasty here also I heard. One thing I like about working out of my house I can be very selective about when and where I go out...
  3. It does feel good...after highs below freezing since the Friday before Xmas, it feels great..ready to break out the flip flops, shorts and tropical shirts..;)
  4. So it was a high of around 8F Saturday but it could hit 60F Thursday...then teens and twenties and snow by the weekend.
  5. Such small differences could be accounted for by adjustable suspension arm mounting brackets, perhaps?
  6. Lamborghini probably had a specific reason for that extra 3/16th of an inch for the Urus. Likewise, the Bentyaga and Q7 wheelbases differ by 1/12 of an inch (could be a rounding error by the source, though)
  7. Same wheelbase, same platform. Probably a lot of dirty bits in common. VWAG seems to really get the most out of platforms.
  8. Those greens are great. I like seeing greens and browns instead of the usual predictable colors.
  9. I couldn't find any information on the Audi USA site or Wikipedia..is the Q7 a 3 row or a 2 row SUV? Edit: found it on the Audi website..Q7 is listed as 7 passenger, so 3 row.
  10. Because that would be too predictable...
  11. Because the Q7 is 3 row, isn't it? 2 row may be perceived as more premium, since 3 row implies family hauler.
  12. Ok, about the same size as the Q7.
  13. I would assume since the Q8 is above the Q7 it is larger than the XT5?
  14. PRNDM...'M'?
  15. The 6 sided trapezoid grille is a common styling cue nowadays--esp. with Ford and Hyundai, and some Toyotas.
  16. Sounds tasty (except for the beets--can't eat them--like the taste, but have bad reactions to them).
  17. There are parts of AZ where it gets to 130 in the summer, ...like Bullhead City...Phoenix hit 120 this past summer..regardless of when or if it hits 140 or 150 (predicted for 2030 in some articles), it's still a disgusting desert shithole, glad it's permanently in my past...
  18. Ah, didn't notice that distinction. Weird. Have non-plugin hybrids fallen from favor?
  19. ^ https://insideevs.com/monthly-plug-in-sales-scorecard/
  20. Niches within niches...the GLB is rumored to be a butched-up GLA with G-class styling in a compact form, while a rumored GLG would be a GLE variation with G-class styling and room for 7.
  21. The concept was just cartoon nonsense. The production one is retro modern, like the Wrangler. Supposedly all-new. Yeah, I remember seeing quite a few of them in Phoenix & Scottsdale, always shiny and polished, shiny black tires and chrome wheels. It would be nice to see people actually using them off-road, covered in dust and mud, scratches and rock chips, dents, etc...
  22. Sunny and about 8 degrees out...took advantage of the weather and went out and filled up and went to the car wash....got the old salt off the Jeep, got some new on driving back home....more snow in the forecast for Sun/Mon...house is nice and warm, dogs are warm, all is good...
  23. Last redesign of the Sequoia was '08, with a refresh for '18, last redesign of the LC was '07, had a couple facelifts since then.
  24. Yeah, hurricanes and flooding would definitely be a concern about S. Florida. I'm glad I'm out of the desert, don't want to be there when the daytime highs start hitting 130-150F eventually. Other than winter cold, the Great Lakes region seems pretty good. Though part of me misses living in the West (specifically Denver).
