    Spotted a very clean '74 Monte Carlo in a triple avocado green (a color that was very popular w/ mid 70s Chevys I think) and a pink chrome late model Mustang GT convertible (probably a wrap, looked like a Spectraflame Hot Wheels car).

    Wasn’t riding high in the back something people did in olden days, maybe to accommodate bigger tires? Like all the ‘lifted’ muscle cars in the 70s? I remember my brother put air shocks on his Firebird Formula 400 and GTO back then.

    Speaking of good things from Canada, I've been enjoying the comedy 'Schitt's Creek' lately....also in the past have enjoyed 'Corner Gas', 'Trailer Park Boys' and 'Red Green Show'.... of course besides William Shatner, Canada is also the birth place of great actors incl. Donald Sutherland and Christopher Plummer...and a lot of music I'm a fan of...from Rush, Neil Young, Robbie Robertson, Gordon Lightfoot, to Leonard Cohen and Mylene Farmer..

    Sounds like you waited too late to trade on the next one..

    Gammage Auditorium at ASU is a neat venue...been to a couple concerts there, and I worked out of an office on Mill Avenue just down the street for a couple of years.

    ^ looks like where George Jetson and his family resided.

    Odd neither car has a license plate...is that a EU style license plate bracket on the bumper of the Corsica with a 'Russia' decal?

    It hasn't been bad here in NE Ohio this summer...the humidity hasn't been bad at all, and have had only a handful of days over 90....being close to Lake Erie helps for me, breezier and lower humidity than further inland in Ohio. Looking forward to the rest of September and October..

    I remember visiting Miami some years ago in July and it was like 95 degrees w/ 95% humidity. No bueno. A friend from Denver now lives in Huntington Beach Ca said it was 111 there Saturday. He doesn’t have A/C but does have a pool. And Denver has had crazy weather the last few days...

    Mostly the front...not much rear overhang. By comparison, my '87 Mustang GT has a 100.5" wheelbase with overall length of 179.6"...(a 2020 Mustang has a 7 inch longer wheelbase and is about 9 inches longer overall).

    Interesting news about Nikola...claims of faking and misrepresentation... https://fortune.com/2020/09/10/nikola-motor-stock-hindenburg-research-allegations/

    Woke up to heavy fog this morning... Was overcast all day and dim.

    I have parallel parked my sister's Chevy Trax...167.2" overall length. Very easy to PP. I remember as a teenager learning to PP on the farm...my Dad set up poles in milk jugs filled w/ sand and I took the longest car he had then ('85 Lincoln Town Car) and practiced with it...serious blind spots w/ the tiny rear window and thick C-pillars, but super-light power steering. I did my driving test in his '84 Ford Escort diesel, much easier to PP.

    Yes, the ground clearance of an SUV makes it easier---just go up on the curb. The times I've parallel parked I usually end up way out from the curb. I remember some years ago what a pain it was parallel parking in downtown Portland in a rental Grand Prix--hard to see out of, and big overhangs, and too low to go up on the high curbs..
  15. Robert Hall
    I suppose self-parking could be useful if you do a lot of parallel parking. Parallel parking is stupid--I very rarely have to do it, prefer to park in lots or garages, or valet if available.

    Lucid has a reveal this evening of the production version of the Air. https://www.lucidmotors.com/

    Nikola and Tesla are two separate companies and brand names. Any correlation to a historical figure named 'Nikola Tesla' is coincidental, though likely intentional for marketing purposes.

    Nice to see Denver high in all those lists...probably the only place I've previously lived that I really miss moving away from.

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

    Reality is complex...there are many things.

    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..
  24. Robert Hall
    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
