I think a lot of that difference could be somewhat climate related as well. While here in the NE (or maybe it has to do with the strengths/weaknesses of individual coatings) I found that leaving cars sitting outside in the elements 24/7, 365 days a year had little effect on overall coating...

Brine, calcium chloride, rock salt, ‘agricultural deicer’ (whatever that is [emoji15])…’tis a witches brew. Up in Cleveland it was predominantly rock salt, in Central, OH they seem to prefer liquids; before predicted storms the roads are striped with lines of deicer. Ohio Road Treatments...

Some design firm likely collected a nice fee for designing the new logo. Maybe the ones that did KIA a few years ago?

I guess the definition of long-term practicability really depends on the goals of those steering the ship. What mighta been OK under Bob M as far as revenues/growth might not have tickled the toes of new ownership. :shrug: Ran across this, perhaps posted before but I never saw it: Why AutoGeek...

When I saw the preview for this post, for some reason my first thought was that you were literally painting an entire live bison [emoji28] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The costs of maintaining all of their inventory had to be, uh…impressive. Looking for glass cleaner? Choose from Wolfgang, Pinnacle, Blackfire, McKees, DP, Gyeon, CarPro, Gtechniq & probably 5 or 6 other brands. [emoji15] Throw in the different sizes of each and that just can’t be practical...

The initial frenzy has died down as production has begun to coincide with demand. For a Stingray MSRP is easily possible and even saw a dealer offering 4 at invoice the other day. Now it was on social media and I didn't follow up so, well...you know :lol: There were a few of the big dealers...

During Corvettes C8 initial frenzy, Chevy sent out a letter to dealers discouraging the practice of adding markups after the fact. Had an agreement/order in and when you went to pick it up "Oh, that'll be an additional $10k"; dealers not worried if you backed out as they could easily get the...

I think much of it is "Quick & Easy" as evidenced by Instagram/Twitter format. No 'long form' interaction, short and sweet is the order of the day. Car Forums are still somewhat popular but the audience is aging I believe. Methinks the younger generations only want to use 'outlets' where instant...

Eh, it's a knife that cuts both ways. When we bought our previous 2 new 'fun' cars, they were at the end of that particular generations' run. Dealers were anxious to get them off of lots so invoice pricing, 0% financing/rebates from mfg and so forth; I certainly wasn't going to demand they stick...

Was pondering a Q60 AWD Redsport before I ran across the Cayman. Sounded like a good all-season fun car. Probably lucked out passing on it as they seem to eat their turbos on occasion. Fun car ain’t a fun car if it becomes a PITA. Did you drive the Q50? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

“Go Away” pricing that doesn’t actually make folks go away [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

PTS Build Time Lapse: Gold Bronze Metallic Paint To Sample 911 GT3 Timelapse - YouTube Might be a ‘normal’ PTS vs the more expensive PTS Plus option: Paint your Porsche any colour you want with Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur Methinks I could find a ‘stock’ color to like but in for a penny, in...

Was hoping for Detroit as well which would have slimmed down the “Never made it…” list to only Cleveland & Jacksonville [emoji53] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Don’t absolutely need to wear underwear but if you’re rushing home from a questionable meal at Taco Bell, the extra protection might be handy :shrug: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

They certainly do have a way with words [emoji23] Their rockets don’t explode…they have “Rapid Unscheduled Disassemblies” Cybertrucks don’t start to look weathered but rather the finish is “Maturing” [emoji2957] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It’s been a bit sloppy in Ohio this week…but rear-wheel drive cars in snow sure are fun! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
