I expect this kind of garbage from Shilling and Orlove, but not you Torch.  I. Am. Disappointed.

Thank you, David. You, and Tom McP., are the only reasons I continue to check in here each day.

+1 for you, sir

Really?  I continue to wonder why is Erik Shilling still employed by this blog? I’ve yet to see anything of substance related to the automotive world (or plane/boat lopnik), in any of his writing. It’s all emotional psychobabble. I get the feeling he’s using us a cheap therapy outlet, instead of paying for the help he…

Tom nailed this one with the M45.  If he’s wanting to fit in the fellow gearheads, then they’ll know what they should know... you know?

Not my cup of tea, but must say that it’s NP, if you’re into such things.

Yep, Neutral is where Shilling posts his daily journal entry for his therapist, and where Orlove reminds us that he would be better off writing for a cycling oriented blog.

Thanks. I’ve been on similar “museum” ships where they had fallen mostly into disrepair. It’s not fair to the paying public, or to the legacy of their sailors, for them to be on continued display in that shape. If I was the city, I’d push for both the Queen Mary, and the sub, to be scrapped. Then, pour the savings…

How much of a tourist draw is this, really? I’m not from the area, so I have no point of reference. Furthermore, no municipality should have an extra $300+ mil just laying around. If they do, then something stinks far worse than this deal.

Would someone please find a bicycle blog for Raph to go write for. Pretty please, with sugar on top.

You should have just been honest, and said you need us to throw out some odd vehicle names so you can put together a slideshow post. That’s where this is headed.  I mean, how would anyone know what they really haven’t seen yet?

Says you, asshat commenter.

I didn’t, it was stolen out of my driveway. Found a week later chopped up with the engine and trans yanked out. THey also took the wheels and calipers, which I found listed on facebook marketplace about 4 days afterward. There’s a group targeting V’s for theft here in teh metro Houston area, they’ve gotten dozens over…

Well, my wife’s suburban is nearing it’s end of days, so she’ll eventually get the Denali and I’ll get back into something more sexy. I went from a V-wagon, to the supercharged Jag (XJ-R model), unsure what to get next.

Correct, that’s basically what I’m saying. Bought before the hit the lot.

Not surprised there is something like this, and wish I could play on it. However, I believe high winds played a major role in the Ever Given situation. As a lifelong boater, of all types of pleasure craft, wind is a factor of mother nature that would be hard to duplicate for the sake of training.

As usual, Tom is spot on in his counsel above. I recently needed to dump an out of warranty Jaguar, and had my sights set on a Denali trimmed Yukon XL. I live in the Houston suburbs, and had to go clear across and outside the metro Houston area to find not only the particular color I wanted, but just any…

Well, overall, the Silverado did handle the side impact quite well.

Many times a pictured vehicle looks terrible, then looks okay once you see it in person. BUT NOT THIS. The Gladiator is both a horrible looking “truck”, and a horrible looking Jeep, once you are up close and in person. No true Jeep fan really wants it, and those people you say will buy a “Texas” package, won’t buy it…
