That would be so cool. An electric garbage truck, silently sweeping the garbage cans on the curb overhead and dumping garbage into it’s giant bin at 6:30 a.m. Right now, I can hear the garbage trucks from 5 blocks away. Less noise, more efficiency and better for the environment. What’s not too like.

I think I read an article where the Ram truck finally outsold the Silverado to a tune of over 600K units sold in 2019. The Ford F-series is still in the lead with almost 1 million sold. GM trucks are close behind with over 800K units sold. Nissan at a paltry 50K..........hmmmmm. 

I own 5 bicycles, currently although I only use 2 on a consistent basis. I have been riding bicycles for over 50 years. I don’t wear a helmet when I ride, although I probably should especially as I am an aging baby boomer. The number of times I’ve taken a spill on a bicycle exceeds the number of fingers on my hands,…

Almost 45 years ago, next June, when I saw StarWars in a run down, seedy movie theater on Miami Beach my imagination was stolen from me. I love the first and the original and I always will. It’s a fairy tale of a farm boy chosen to be the reluctant hero who saves the galaxy from the evil emperor - we have this in our…

The auto industry has known for decades that they can market more expensive SUVs and Trucks on the car-buying public. They also know that they can cram a lot of amenities and luxuries into these larger vehicles. Let’s face it. There is only so much premium crap you can put in a Ford Focus. On the other hand, you can…

The lack for respect for law enforcement is astonishing and disturbing. There have been many recent cases where fast-food workers refused to server law enforcement officers. This is not only wrong, but stupid. Our society has been calling police officers pigs for over 50 years. Fine if you are making a political or…

I am and have been a loyal VW owner for over 10 years. VW still makes sedans, hatchbacks and wagons among their crossover and SUV offerings. The rest of the world seems to like their cars too and VW knows this as the #1 car manufacturer in the world.

You do realize that this is outer space fantasy. The preamble, even from the first movie 42 years ago, states “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....”. This story is not about us, the human race, but a fantastical story of beings and civilizations in a different part of the universe. Now, about the landspeeder…

Loved Iron Man - RDJ was the perfect Tony Stark. Absolutely loved Avengers. Loved Captain America: Civil War (the unofficial Avengers movie). Infinity War just blew me away with the pathos and darkness. Tony Stark sacrificing himself in Endgame was both unexpected, but a perfect ending. Black Widow’s death in Endgame…

“ Of course, you do feel bad for Rosen, seeing that he is also joining the ranks of players coached by one-time Bill Belichick lackeys who think they can show up and magically turn any team into the Patriots.”

Love the article. Made me laugh. Thanks.

I don’t need blinking, flashing, streaming lights. I want my car to talk to me and let me know what is going on with it. Also, I want the voice to be of HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey. 

I love this article. Thank you for making me laugh out loud today. After 50+ years, I am still surprised at the ignorance, intolerance, prejudice, racism and stupidity I come across these days. Let them crawl back into their caves after November 2020. Let’s make America multi-racial again....ummm, did I say that out…

With a diesel engine, horsepower is secondary to torque. My Motor Coach with the CAT 7.2 L turbo only produces 300 hp, but a massive 860 ftp of Torque. This allows the 30,000+ lbs coach to tow 10,000 lbs behind it. The same was true of my old Sports Fisherman that had the twin CAT 3270s. They only produced 260 hp…

I had been following this trend of loan payments for new cars going up from 4-5 years to 6-7 years over the past decade. Having bought 5 houses and numerous cars over the past 30 years, I am keenly aware of fitting things inside one’s budget. I’m going to assume that many people are not looking at budgets or the cost…

I had been watching the new cars sales take off over the the past 10 years after Obama’s clash for clunkers jump-started new car sales. It couldn’t last forever. Additionally, with the average new car selling just North of 35K and buyers financing for 6 or more years, the party had to come to an end. Now will come the…

I always knew it had something to do with weight capacity and weight distribution. What I didn’t know was the difference in weight per cubic foot for different materials. Now that was enlightening. Thanks.

Tesla has paved the way as an innovator and a disruptor for EV technology. However, Tesla can never produce the kind of volume that VW will be able to bring to the market. Tesla does not have scale and in order to bring a mass market product to the consumer so that every dealership in every city and town can have EVs,…

I was converted to VW a short 7 years ago with our Passat Sportwagon. Since then we have owned 5 and currently own 3. I’m looking forward to owning the electric min-bus as my last VW. 

I actually liked the bulbous, frog-like look of the original Leaf.
