Meh...Bill Gates flew coach for many years, even after Microsoft went big.

His work reminds me of some Pink Floyd album artwork.

Meh...in a BMW, or any performance car, I want a real manual transmission.

Watch out for the snow and ice...could be bad at the kind of speed (isn't the weather dreadful in PA currently?)

The taillight treatment reminds me of a few Lincoln concepts from a few years ago. Interesting how they made the grille similar to the MKS but not the taillights.

I'm sure they would complain to their US senators and representatives that they've bought off...(i.e. from the states w/ their plants)

I wonder if Honda, Toyota, Nissan, etc that have plants here are going to complain they aren't getting a piece of the pie?

I like... I like the current car, this car definitely looks leaner, less bottom-heavy. I like the retro original Z style upturned quarter window. Nice interior, definitely has echoes of other current Nissans and Infinitis.

I figured something was going down..been watching Ford and GM stock prices all morning...

Subtle updates to the current models. I've always liked the Boxster...it's one of the few small 2 seater sports cars I fit comfortably in.

I presume you have heard of the 'Industrial Revolution'.... lots of coal-fired plants polluting in the 19th century..

Interesting..the package I was looking at said specifically the QV. QM2 could be interesting also... I've always wanted to do a transatlantic voyage, instead of the usual 10 1/2 hr BA flight to London. Turns out going by ship is a lot cheaper than I thought it would be. I'd also like to do an Alaska cruise, and I've also thought about doing a Mediterranean cruise. Want to get back to Europe next year, been over 4 years now since I was last there. I need a good 2-3 week vacation, maybe next spring after I finish my current contract. I've also thought about doing a National Park road trip tour sometime next year... the Utah parks, Yellowstone, Glacier, Black Hills/Mt Rushmore, etc. I've lived in the West for over 10 years, but have only seen national parks in Colorado and AZ.

Yes, something is definitely going on. Obviously, all the human-created pollution that has happened in the last 200 or so years has had a negative impact on the environment.

Saw a beautiful black '50-53 Caddy Coupe de Ville in traffic this evening...saw it from behind and the left 3/4 view only, couldn't id the exact year..

Wow..I seem to remember their plant was bombed during the Balkans wars of the '90s...didn't realize they stayed in production..looks like they updated the front end a bit.

That is sad.. I've been on the Queen Mary, never saw the QE2. I'm thinking about taking a cruise next year for a vacation on Cunard's Queen Victoria, from New York to South Hampton. 8 days at sea. Queen Victoria

The new issue of Hemmings Classic Car arrived today..amongst the articles are a buyers guide to the '79-85 Eldorado, with a beautiful yellow '79 Biarritz as the feature car, a black on black 1 of none '69 Olds Delta 88 Royale convertible (incredible), plus lots of other interesting non-GMs (50s Mercurys, '65 Falcon 2dr wagon, a 1920 Dodge speedster, etc.

Yeah, I was talking to my sister in Beavercreek...sounds like the weather is Ohio November blah back there now.. I was driving around with the sunroof open tonight, 82 degrees in Phoenix. Alas, I'm probably heading to Ohio for Christmas..

Speaking of wildlife, what happened to all the honeybees? My Dad did beekeeping as a side hobby in the '70s-80s...most are gone from Ohio from what I've read.

Catchy song..great video. She's hot. Cool band name also... (besides the motorcycle, it's also the name of a great old Richard Thompson song). I'll start with Summer Glau, from the Terminator series..

The convertible actually did get rebuilt eventually... it sat in my folks' barn until '82, when my brother sold it to a Mustang fan from Pittsburgh, who was going to restore it...it may still be out there...dark green w/ a black interior. My brother's IPC is an interesting car..he has a lot of documentation, it's apparently not one of the regular replicas but actually one of a number of cars that were used at Indy at the '79 Indy 500. It's in very clean, original condition.
