    The headlights remind me of Ford.. a bit of Ram Rebel in the grille. Will be interesting to see how this proceeds---so will there be some commonality between this and the GM EV trucks? Haven't read the article yet...sounds promising, though. Very normal looking pickup, not sci-fi cray-cray like the Tesla Cybertruck.

    then there are the shit-for-brains diesel pickup drivers 'rolling coal' and spewing filth everywhere..I see those out and about...

    Now you are just being pedantic and weird..they've been called 'kidney' shaped for decades... rectangles w/ rounded ends. They could have been called 'sausage' shaped, but weren't. Today, they are generally 'nostril' shaped, though the new 4 series is going to a long vertical trapezoid shape..

    And so many variations... some in the 80s-90s (Grand Ams in particular) resembled 90s BMW grilles... And Buick inexplicably did split grilles for a few years also. With BMW, the term came about many decades ago when they had kidney-shaped long, vertical twin central grilles. Never seen it applied to Pontiac, since Pontiac really didn't do the tall narrow twin grilles (maybe the 70 full size and some '70s Grand Prix are close to that..). Over the decades, esp. starting in the 90s, BMW's central grilles grew wider and wider, evolving more into sqircles than the earlier kidney shape..

    Interesting story...GM EVs are outselling Tesla in China. That pink coupe is badazz... https://jalopnik.com/gm-is-selling-more-evs-than-tesla-in-china-1844982463

    True, I did see spam at a couple fast food places and roadside stands...read an article about it's popularity there. Otherwise, the food was great there...had dinner at the Benihana in my hotel (Hilton Hawaiian Village), the famous Roy's, a couple seafood places, and a really good Thai place in Waikiki....I need to go back eventually, want to go to Maui, the big island, and Kauai...both trips I've been, I've only been on Oahu.

    If your car is outside...my Jeep is nice and clean and in my garage. If it were in the driveway during a thunderstorm, i'd end up with leaves and small twigs on it...

    Glad I did grilling yesterday...can't really do much of anything outside today...thunderstorms all day so far.

    Spam is a big deal in Hawaii...I saw dishes made with Spam on restaurant menus there.

    Trax *was* offered in orange in '15-16, IIR...not sure about now.

    The vertical slots on each side of the grille is why I thought it was the '40. A couple other spotting from that trip---a black '62 Falcon convertible, no top, sitting in a yard along w/ a couple mid 60s Ford F-series pickups and a couple old 60s-70s IH fronted schoolbuses, and along I-77 in Canton spotted a classic car dealer w/ a yellow '56-57 Corvette on top of the building on a sign.

    What’s a PDR guy?

    Definitely wouldn’t want a used EV. Given how fast the technology changes, EVs probably should be recycled rather than resold. I wouldn’t buy a used phone, computer, tv or other appliance.

    Took my Jeep out yesterday on my first road trip in it of the year..drove almost 250 miles of freeway, small town and hilly backroad driving around E. Ohio....averaged 25.8 mpg. Not bad! Felt good to get out of the house for a few hours..hardest part of road tripping in pandemic times is finding a bathroom..
  18. Robert Hall
    Possible mechanical issue. Take to dealer?
  19. Robert Hall
    I’d assume most of these consumer EVs are leases...

    Have a few days off, took a drive...beautiful sunny 75 degree day. Drove down to Tuscarawas County where I'm from and drove some backroads I haven't driven in 30 years or more.. Outside the village of Tuscarawas on a back road, I spotted what appeared to be a 1941 1940 LaSalle moldering in a yard...

    Well, to be realistic, maybe buyers over 50...I doubt if many younger buyers know French cars were once sold in the US.

    Yes, IIRC the book and movie was called 'Midnight in the Garden of Evil' I think...good movie w/ Kevin Spacey. When I was driving my sister back from West Palm Beach in January, I did spend a couple hours in St Augustine, Fla---has a neat historic district...would like to visit again. Spent the first night in Daytona Beach (I'd left WPB at about 9:30 pm) and the second night only made it just past Savannah to Yemasseee, SC.
  24. Robert Hall
    Haven't seen a Maverick in forever...wowza. Never been to Savannah (been past the exit on I-95)...looks scenic.

    Same first name, different empty suit...worked under Ghosn previously...they should have an American that understands the NA market in charge of the NA brands, not some empty suit w/ a Renault/Nissan past.
