My first flight on a large airliner was JNU-SEA on a Pan Am Stratocruiser. The crew let us kids go visit the downstairs bar and see the view before they gave us our wings (wish I still had them!). Pan Am was a pioneer in Alaska routes back when there were few airports, flying air mail to Juneau (Anchorage barely…

Market data for the Leaf should tell them that they need to scale up and start selling electric vans NOW. This is a market segment that Ford and GM are ignoring, for work vans, for second car vans, for taxis, and as camper vans.

I love the Myroom, but how is it a “camper van” without a stove and sink, or a fridge.

I have 2 remotes that work just fine with my Escalade’s remote start. Bought it used, didn’t want OnStar once I found out it would cost and that the car would call home. A code scanner plugs right in under the steering wheel.

Every vehicle has an OBD-II port for diagnostics and clearing alarms.

I resent that.  My ESV is NOT a “Suburban”.  It’s Pure Caddy.  Everything is heavier, and luxe.

“locals in my suburban/rural area wouldn’t be able to afford the houses, either for purchase or rent. Wages have not kept up”

Not completely true in my neighborhood, but new homeowners are all young professional families with both parent working, and the average home price on the edge of downtown in Alaska’s capital is…
