  1. The scooter is hilarious..couldn't imagine using something like that..would have to be in a totally different reality context...maybe if I were still 25 and fit living in a crowded, flat city. But a 5000lb SUV is still my favorite urban commuter vehicle.
  2. Had to make a trip to the post office, listened to my favorite Sirus XM channels and heard these, great Big 80s tracks..
  3. ^ ocngrn
  4. ^ Pontiac Swamp Chief
  5. Pinnacol Assurance. (A worker's comp insurance company in Denver, have several friends that work/have worked there. )
  6. Time to insert standard cliche cache phrase.. 'Reality is complex' 'There are many things'
  7. Or just use normal door handles instead of gimmicky garbage.
  8. I do see ice as a potential problem, is it is on Teslas with their stupid door handles..I've read of them freezing and not popping out. But with any expensive EV, it should be inside in a garage..wouldn't have one if it had to be parked outside.
  9. Ford Brazil bought Willys Brazil in the late 60s. In the early 80s they were building CJ-5s w/ the Ford 2.3 Lima 4cyl. Built them through 1983. I knew about the Willys Jeep wagon-based Ford Rural, but not this..learn something every day. Note the tiny Ford blue oval emblem below the stamped Jeep badge on the body.
  10. bayberry
  11. With EVs a lot of things are moving to phone apps though.(like with the Model 3)...I could see the fob also, though.
  12. Which is why one would drive with it closed..presumably it seals..not really different from how the Bristol had a spare tire compartment on one side and a battery compartment on the other side of the front fenders...
  13. It is odd...I'd assume the EV bits of the Soul were the same as the Kona? They are on the same platform, I think... Or maybe they want to focus on the Niro EV.
  14. Hopefully power and controlled by a phone app...that would be slick.
  15. What if GM had built a Hummer like this..looks Trax-sized.
  16. SRV (and his band Double Trouble)
  17. Thinking about the music I loved at age 20...then realizing that was 30 years ago... makes me feel old.
  18. Probably EST since Detroit is in EST. Didn't GM do something like this before with a reveal announcement, a time without a timezone?
  19. With work from home and self quarantining, I've managed to put less than 100 miles on my Jeep in the last 6 months. I assume the next 6 months will be the same.
  20. Way cool... the huge bank I worked for 10 years ago was named the worst company in America at least once I think. The small consulting firm I worked for in the mid 10s was ranked the best small company to work for in Arizona a couple of times..was a really good place.
  21. Sounds like a fun project getting it road worthy again. Does it have much in the way of rust?
  22. I wonder if it will start under $100k?
  23. I've never really had a need for a truck, but I understand why so many people buy them.
  24. Yeah, I don't think I'd buy the first year of a new model or new generation. Many vehicles historically have had improvements the 2nd model year to take care of shortcomings of the first year. I'm probably going to be looking for what's next in about 4 years, when my current Jeep is at 10 yrs/100k miles. Though I still haven't gotten to 50k miles yet.
  25. I remember Ohio back in the late 70s-early 80s having State Police checkpoints set up randomly where they would flag people over to the side of the road and check their tires, lights, wipers, etc. Had 'Inspection Stations' signs IIRC... I wonder if any states do stuff like that anymore. I remember my goofy older brother complaining about them because he drove '60s-70s rust buckets then that always had something wrong..
