Expensive tech has typically launched with Cadillac and trickled down. Risky things used to launch with Olds.

Really, that’s what you think? Man, that is HO-LOGIC right there...
The material quality is very poor in general. I know its chalked up to weight reduction, but its pretty lousy regardless. Everything is flimsy and the fabric that flocks everything is thin and wears easily.
GM C and G body cars are the absolute pinnacle of large FWD evolution, IMO. The structural resonance of the G-Bodies was impressive and the absolute value you got for the money was unparalleled. Plus, the vast, vast majority of everything that rode on these platforms looked and still look gorgeous.
I remember seeing the ‘95 preview car at the Tampa Auto Show in November of ‘93. I told me dad I wanted that car. Eleven years later, a Silver Teal Metallic ‘96 model became my first car. I still have it.
The second-gen Aurora was supposed to have been the successor to the Eighty-Eight and carry the Antares name. It would’ve been powered exclusively by the 3.5l ‘Shortstar’ V6 while the Aurora’s successor would’ve remained V8-only and either share a new, semi-premium RWD platform with the next-gen Riviera (never to be)…
GM had the BEST 1980s commercials. Period.
Just treat others as you would like to be treated. That is truly the most effective, simple, and direct way to make a meaningful change in cultural behavior.
Trash people. All of them.
I have been that poor - food stamp, sleeping-in-a-car-poor.
I understand, but you can also tend bar, waitress, or cut grass in Homestead, Key Largo, Pembroke Pines, Ft. Myers, Charlotte Harbor, Sarasota, Clearwater, or tons of other places and still get the Florida weather without the high cost of living and logistical inconvenience of living on one of the outer keys.
Good! Better what’s left even be used for donor cars then be left to rot like they were being. Good on the city for getting the ball rolling.
These are hard-working, honest people that live a hard-scrabble life and are used to these circumstances and deal with it without complaint because, hey, the shit is pretty much the same in Mexico, but at least you’re in the United States. They appreciate that fact and all that comes with it a LOT more than many…
Circumstances differ, but at some point you stop living on that river if you can. Virtually lifelong Floridian here, and if you have the means, you don’t live in a chronic flood zone. I feel for those that don’t have those means. I feel far greater sympathy for those folks (and these in the article) than many in Key…
You think Hillary would’ve cared either? You’re high.
The people getting their $500 checks from FEMA are driving 15 year-old Range Rovers six months in arrears and have made a living gaming the system...par for the course.
Half of them are here already...
I’m glad that the cover art for what I’m listening to is larger and more prominent than the posted speed limit or the GODDAMN RANGE REMAINING.
For anyone saying CRACK PIPE, a Polaris Ranger 570 Crew starts at $10,700.
The ‘suspiciously cheap’ thing has some credence, but speaking from how I run my business, sometimes I DO get a deal that good and other times I just need to dump a unit on floorplan and I’d much rather see some sort of daylight by retailing it to an individual than running it through the block.
