No kidding, 16k is a steal IMO.  Here in this area of TX especially during the height of oil production that would still go for over $20k, and probably wouldn’t live more than 6 months before getting totaled.

The Fathom Green on the COPO we had at the booth in Michigan made me weak in the knees.

If it turned into a self defense turret when the kid was in danger, that’d be friggin awesome.

Heh, the German Purity thing got a chuckle out of me.  Bold move, Cotton.

I still chuckle at the one person coming on clapping at the end.

Honestly, the Nissan logo makes me think of the black hole from Interstellar.

1st gear: Just like any other large entity, they play both sides of the fence.

When I finally got to the point to fire up the current engine in my Firebird, I was nervous. Since it is a crank driven oil pump you have to crank it and let it prime, well I fired it up, 10 seconds no oil pressure on the cluster yet. Panicking, I shut it down.

I saw a lot of posts about dealers getting a customer to put down a deposit on a C8, then when the car arrives they want the customer to pony up a $20k markup.

Meanwhile other dealerships have them ready at MSRP.

30 seconds in an inferno, that halo saved him big time.  But on point was the safety and medical crew.

Our shipping volume was at holiday levels back in May and has done nothing but increase. It’s been wild.

Wait you have a TourX? I love you even more now. I really wanted to get one of those but straight up do not have the $ for a new/newish car haha.

Great write up, and I’m glad you had some kind strangers actually help. Sometimes restores a little bit of faith in humanity.

I wouldn’t be opposed to using something like…

A very small select few dealerships will let you bypass the PDI process and it usually comes down to you knowing the big bosses really, really fucking well.

Some collectors like to take these things home as they were delivered off the truck from the factory, delivery wheels, wrapping, plastics, spring stoppers, air dam…

Mitigates the risk of somebody trying to claim the accident happened somewhere else or going to/from the event.  People have been dropped after just asking if they offer any motorsport or performance driving event coverage.

I’ve seen people get dropped by Geico because some agent saw pics on their facebook profile of them running their car in an autocross event.

What next, insurance ratting you out to the police for not coming to a full stop at a stopsign?

Lubbock, TX

Lubbock Power and Light is the utility company and is the city’s municipally owned electric utility.  It’s supposed to be a not for profit setup, but we’ve got some of the highest bills around.

Won’t be long now.
Getting strong now.

Neutral: Chevrolet will see BEV3 models on the showroom floor soon enough.  I couldn’t imagine trying to change infrastructure to start building a full EV lineup while balancing things to keep the UAW happy.

I live in an area that gets ample amounts of sunlight throughout the year. But the local utility is hand in hand with the city council and have limited homes to a max of 10kW solar panel capacity.

Some of us could easily have the ability to support the coming onslaught of EV cars, but utilities are lobbying against…

Which is why I had to ditch my 17 Speedline Mistrals for something a little bigger lol.  18x10.5 to clear the CTS-V brakes front and rear.
