Industry News: Leasing Reaches Record High, Could Grow Further
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News
I'm definitely thinking about leasing or a CPO for my next car...I don't think I'll keep a daily driver 15-16 years again.. maybe 3-5 years max going forward. -
I'd take the F40, but I'd really rather have a 288 GTO. Not in red, though, too predictable. Dark brown or dark blue..

I noticed the login now requires using the 'display name' rather than username to login ? Weird. It's working well on mobile otherwise. Interesting I had to use the 'login through Facebook' to get in, and it worked seamlessly. ( I couldn't remember the formatting on my display name) Moltar

spiffy. -
They tease, tease and tease...2dr hardtops, 4dr convertibles, large luxury sedans, sports cars...but then cold hard reality of the market wanting more trucks, SUVs and CUVs sets in..

The name reminds me of La Scala, the opera house in Milan. The fastback roofline reminds of the A7 mixed with the Citroen C6... the front makes me think Mazda mixed w/ current Cadillac styling...I like the dimensions--127 inch wheelbase, 210 long... maybe a preview of a possible CT8?

I can see High Tech Companies doing this to entice their developers to get off their ass and move around. Good point.. I had originally only thought of smaller local restaurants and things along those lines. I don't know how long it takes to find and catch one though so if it's real quick then I don't see the point in a tech company doing it.Yeah, it's something I could see Starbucks, McDs, and other point of sale retailers,etc doing. Developers in tech companies are way too expensive resources to waste their time on such fluff. (As a developer myself, I'm too busy leveraging core competencies on actionizable tasks that create shareholder value).

I've seen 3 of the new Ridgelines in the last week...a white one w/ black wheels, a black one, and a silver one. For mega-obscure, I saw an '81 Chrysler Newport today in traffic (one year only grille made the ID easy)...dark red w/ dark red vinyl top, some sun fade, but solid overall with shiny chrome, white wall tires...

Definitely made progress this year...after 7-8 years of flabbing around at 245-250, I got down to 231 by my birthday at the end of June. Since then, I've taken off around 4 more pounds. My goal is to get to around 199 by January 1. I'd like to eventually get back to where I was at age 30, 185lbs... my work is so sedentary in nature, as are my hobbies and interests, and I live in such a harsh climate...I force myself to walk more everyday (tracking steps w/ my Fitbit), try and swim everyday during pool season, cut out junk food and sodas, trying to be smarter about snacks and meals--hard as I am a foodie and love eating...

I'm happy w my iPhone6, other than the battery charge life--but I keep chargers at home, in the car, at work, in my backpack so not a problem. I like the form factor. The Galaxy is a nice phone, but way too big. It's more of a woman's purse phone than a man's front pocket phone. I'll probably get whatever the current iPhone is in about a year or so when this ones contract is up.

Unfortunately obliviousness is the norm for some, and this perfectly illustrates my point about being face deep in your damn phone. If I were to post a picture of two separate people walking down the street with their noses in their phone, would you be able to tell the difference between the one playing Pokemon or the one tweeting their latest self absorbed post? From what I've heard, there are some swipe motions specific to Pokemon Go that are tells to its usage.

Ram News: FCA Considers A Full-Size SUV Using Next-Gen Ram 1500
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in Ram
They needed one of these 15-20 years ago... -
The Biltmore neighborhood in central Phoenix, named for the Biltmore resort here. (in reference to the previous post which mentioned Coronado, another Phoenix neighborhood, and a previous post mentioning Maricopa County). Totally random: just saw a guy running on the sidewalk carrying what appeared to be a metal trash can lid or a shield high over his head. Right next to a fire station. And the temp reading was 116.
-
Cool. I live in the Biltmore area and work in Scottsdale.

Meeting at work this afternoon was pretty random. 2 hr IT dept quarterly meeting with a bunch of slides about statistics on backups and help desk stuff in the offices in the Caribbean, which has very little to do with my development efforts here...

Hmmm. Don't see the emoticon options on mobile. My all time favorite is the toilet one. :toilet: (guessed the name. ) Do we have a poo emoticon? Need one.

Disagreement is core to human communication. Would be boring with a bunch of agreeable yes men.

I saw a couple kids walk down my street yesterday, glued to their phones..one on a skateboard...I bet they were Pokemon Going---no sane person would be out walking around on a 112+ degree afternoon...

Vaguely remember that song--never heard of Saliva--maybe heard it in a movie or tv show (Edit--it was in Fast & The Furious and Talledega Nights--remember it from those)..don't think I'd seen the video before. One woman in a music video that sticks in my mind was in Meat Loaf's 'I'd Do Anything for Love'...looked like Christy Turlington. Also remember the Chris Issak video w/ Helena Christensen...

I couldn't care less about Millenials and the post Millenials (Gen-Z?). F them and their stupid games.

Just some silly game for Millennials.

The ATS is RWD entry premium and it's target market is singles and DINKs...so the rear seat space is less important than it would be with a family sedan like the Malibu...the ATS's competition all are pretty tight in the back...

Back then, I remember being aware of current music through MTV, the radio, and Rolling Stone magazine..been a subscriber since '84.

Item: Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4
Robert Hall replied to Robert Hall's topic in Member's Rides Showcase
Jeep is still going...165k today, on a sunny 115 degree day. It's still running, a bit worn and tired, just like me. August 3rd will make 16 years since I bought it... -
Was at an intersection this morning between a dark red Challenger Hellcat and a new Jaguar F-Pace (first I'd seen of the new CUV). Both had very different, but appealing exhaust notes as they pulled away...
