[Jimmy N.]

Now...yer lying

Nope. At least I can't recall seeing or hearing about elk. Lots of moose around, though. And some deer.

Don’t like EVs, but always hate Detroit losing jobs.

If you think the Charger is Fugly

Have a look at the Honda Saloon
Not only is it extremely ugly it is emotionally sensitive to your feelings

That’s what saloons are known for, isn’t it?

My dad found out when his riding mower fell partially into the old well

Grandma "So that s where it was"

Ha, I was referring to the “emotionally sensitive to your feelings” part.

The Detroit Auto show should be interesting this year with no new models


Stellantis has quietly but decisively ended the plug-in hybrid chapter for Jeep and Chrysler in the U.S., confirming that every PHEV model from the two brands has been discontinued. The move closes the book on a strategy that once positioned plug-in hybrids as a bridge between internal combustion engines and fully electric vehicles, and it signals another recalibration in an industry still struggling to match electrification plans with real-world demand.

Since it's past the statute of limitations I can admit to not waiting until I had a license.

Only cheated by a couple of three years, though, and occasionally.

I did this also, used to drive my drunk parents' home from parties at the ripe ole age of 12! It was cool though as it was usually in my mom's 72 Malibu convertible, which my brother now has after my dad passed a few years ago.

I am planning to go to this year's Detroit auto show to see what is changing and where everything is heading. Haven't been in a couple years but I'm curious this year.

Did GM change their mind? (I'll pass on sexist comments... )

It never ceases to amaze me how quiet the reporting is on all the dying BEV s
Politicians are plastered all over the news with their shovels in hand when they announce these plants


Honda Ends Four EVs in U.S. Market with Expected End of Prologue

Honda will fall to ‌its first annual loss in almost 70 years as a listed company, hit by up to US$15.7 billion in restructuring costs at its EV business, it said on Thursday, as weaker-than-expected demand for the technology hammers automakers.

Under U.S. President Donald Trump, Washington has ended government support for EVs, forcing the likes of Ford and Stellantis to rethink their strategies and book hefty write-downs of their own.
