    I hate driving on ice..same with fog. Perhaps the most white-knuckle, terrifying drive I've had to endure was 7 hours to go 25 miles on I-5/I-205 in Portland in a rental '04 Grand Prix during a December ice storm... 3-4 freeway lanes packed w/ holiday shoppers on ice. Slight banking on corners w/ semi trucks sliding across the lanes into each other....cars sliding into each other all around...darkness coming. 5 mph max speed. AUGGGGGGHHHH.

    Part of the problem, and it's common in the tech industry, is that there is an arrogance and assumption that because we are smart (some brilliant) that we always are right and have a better answer than the 'normals' (non-technical people) do...I've seen it for years--in academia, in industry, in colleagues, in myself. And in the Silicon Valley, even amongst tech reporters, it's very prevalent.. Look at the wacky things Eric Schmidt says...

    Yes, we will...I listen to CNET podcasts every day at work and there has been plenty of buzz about autonomous cars over the last few months...Google is making it happen...

    It does seem like there is room for a compact CUV at Chevy below the midsize Equinox. Something more CR-V or Escape sized...(saw the new Escape up close this past weekend..pretty sharp).

    LoL.. Speaking of big vehicles, I'd love to see a modern RWD Cadillac sedan w/ the dimensions of the Escalade ESV (except for the height).

    Would love to see the Northern Lights...never saw them when I lived in Ohio and Michigan...out at my family's farm it gets very dark and on clear nights you can see a lot of stars..was too bright in the cities I lived in NE Ohio and SE Michigan to see much of anything.

    Wasn't there some controversy about the convertible? It was a recreation of something that never was? I don't recall the story..

    I still don't see why GM needs virtually identical work truck and commercial versions of the Chevy and GMC trucks and vans..

    Saw a silver one last week. Saw a red 'Vu' last night (missing one letter cleanly off the hatch).

    The old Gast Museum? Yep. I think that's where I saw my first one. There are a couple in a museum in Maine and two more at another museum in Pennsylvania. I think the Petersen in LA may have one...can't recall if I've seen one there, though...I think Jay Leno may have one, and I've read that George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola (of 'Tucker' movie fame) used to have a couple...

    Well, that's MB.....Mini is part of BMW...

    Yeah, I'm not into the conspiracy theories, but they are fun to listen to...

    Bummer...no Mini Mini.

    That's probably HAARP.

    Ahhh..winter driving...whenever possible, I worked from home when the weather was bad in Colorado. Been out of snowy climes for 4 winters now, going to take some adjustment to get used to it again.. I bet all those cars had weak 'all-season' tires, which are useless. Snow tires all the way around is the way to go..

    Sonic Boom...I like that... they had some sort of tricked out Sonic at B-J, was matte black w/ neon green graphics and mountain bike on the roof..

    Saw a white Prius V tonite...first one I've seen. Hellacool, as they say.

    Kind of Dodge's equivalent of the Suburban I suppose...looks much older than '63, looks more like a 1958 design... Edit: turns out they made this style from '54 to '66..basically didn't change the styling after '58 when they went to quad headlights.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Town_Panel_and_Town_Wagon

    From the article, it sounds like the NG is due in 2014-2015..I would assume an MCE would last at least 2 model years or more, so an MCE in 2013, then new models in MY 2015 or 2016...and what about the Traverse?

    Ghost in the machine.

    One thing I've wondered about the Volt--is it quiet also? I.e. isolated from road noise, wind noise, etc (non-drivetrain noise). I've ridden in Priuses, and they aren't all that quiet..
  22. Robert Hall
    Sounds like fun..I've got to make it to Hersey or one of the Carlisle events one of these summers..
  23. Robert Hall
    IIRC, I read that the Prius is no longer elegible for the carpool decals because of sales volume....maybe the Volt can become the new hotness for commuter cars in Cali..

    Maybe for this year's SEMA show someone will build a Spark ZL1 with the Camaro ZL1 engine where the back seat would be...
