Promptly offering 5 digit discounts on sale after the first 18 months of sale.

Personally I’m shocked they sold any Escalades in the last 5 years. 22 thousand idiots last year 24k the year prior.

Spend millions developing a more efficient and power dense engine. Decides to shove it into a niche model then price it so its in the “brand snob” price range.
Now they say sales were crap because pf the engine so we have a nameplate and nothing else of it going around.  Woo... 

People think the smaller old vehicles are that much lighter. They are lighter but not that much lighter. Modern high strength materials means they can use less to get the same strength or the same amount and get more safety and rigidity.

For the fun of it look at an old Malibu versus the current one.
1971 3500-4100lbs …

It looks like a boxy panel van from the 80's from the rear. From the front it looks like a target up Yukon with a body kit and someone tried to make it a low rider.  

Thought they were pushing closer to 3 tons for them.  Not to mention the fact that they are gonna shove the 1500's inline 4 in there.  Get ready for Yugo levels of power to weight. 

Difference in options, engine, and trim levels. 

He was going for the short cut on the other side.

Is that from a movie or something?
I didn’t know the Raiders scored points. 

Saab 9-3 3200-3700lbs
Acura tlx 3500-3900lbs
The saab will react to less power more positively based on its lower weight.
There are also factors like transmission gearing and tuning that also factors into that. 

the driver’s seat leans back too far and needs some sort of structural repair

It goes to show how much damage decades of demanding people show up in an office to do work that can be done from home has done.
Same can be said for decades of corporate greed sucking down profits that disappear into nowhere while year over year growth has consumed smaller companies. This lead to a pay stagnation…

cross the part and model numbers with typical aftermarket suppliers as well as aftermarket suppliers like Keystone and Certifit.
Seems like its a tong yang or eagle eyes part sticker. 

A bit of radiator re-routing could make that just fine. 

They can’t push the season later? they could re-order the races to get the desert or warmer biome tracks out at the end of the season and the colder ones that actually see a winter earlier.

About as mature of a move as the milk farmers dumping trailers of product over anti-hoarding measures. Go figure...
Any reports of them letting loose any of their cargo at sea?  a lot “goes missing” out there. 

The main timeline, not a tangent.  This will pass and phones in schools will still be an issue moving forward.  

This will pass and we will be back to it still being an issue.  Welcome to the world beyond last week.

swing and a miss

Why not just ban the phones in the school? Have the kids leave them in lockers for the day. It’s not a necessity and helps them cut down on screen time and dependency on the devices.  

A laundry disinfectant does wonders. wash all your clothes and shower after getting home. high heat water for the wash to kill it off.
