May be an image of car, road and text that says 'THAT GLORIOUS MOMENT WHEN THE SIGN INSTRUCTS YOU TO DO A BURN OUT MORI6 25 M.RH.'

May be an image of car and text that says 'The 1960 Corvair dash baby cradle. Before infant car seats were a major requirement, this was considered to be a safe and comfortable way for a baby to ride in a car. The warmest place in the vehicle was the rear engine and the vibrations from the engine would help the baby fall asleep'

GM Confirms a New Small-Block V8 Is Coming | The Drive

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]GM showed its hand a little bit in the announcement. It stated that the sixth-gen small block will "strengthen our industry-leading lineup of [/color]full-size pickups[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)] and [/color]SUVs[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]." That means we'll still be seeing V8-powered behemoths on the road for the foreseeable future. It didn't mention anything about the Corvette, Camaro, or other recipients of the engine, though. Keep in mind the [/color]C8 Corvette Stingray[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)] still receives a fifth-gen small block, the LT2.[/color]

Chevrolet Motorsports officials confirmed to MC&T and attending media at Daytona International Speedway that the new Corvette Z06 GT3.R is priced from $735,000 USD, making it the most expensive Corvette ever to be sold by Chevrolet.

But if you want one, it’s not so fast. The Corvette Z06 GT3.R is a track-only, purpose-built FIA GT3 race car, and its purpose is exactly that: to race all over the world. And Chevy intends to prioritize race teams as customers for this radical C8.

Chevrolet is currently working through a “team selection process” but was not ready to announce who any of those teams may be. That said, early demand and interest for the Corvette Z06 GT3.R has been “triple or quadruple” what they were expecting. Chevy has not taken any deposits yet, but will be prioritizing actual racers and race teams ahead of collectors and enthusiasts otherwise. At the moment, Chevrolet has announced 20 units of the Corvette Z06 GT3.R, the homologation minimum for GT3.

My wife started talking about how easy it is to egress an SUV.  I parked on a slope the other day and with a car next to me had to work to get out of the car.  I guess the time is coming.  She asked me if Mazdas were decent and I said yes.  I hope to forestall her for a few years so I can enjoy shifting gears.

Someone who parks near us has a Macan she says she likes, I'm not going that way.

Might check into a plug in hybrid miniSUV in a few years, maybe many years.  Our GTI is still going strong.  Did I mention I dislike SUVs?

Some higher-end trucks and SUVs have retractable side steps, they deploy when you open the door and make it easier to enter and exit the vehicle, but retract back out of the way when the doors are closed.

My F150 has them and my i s c & a aggie wife loves them.

We're gonna go SUV in the next year or so. Still like the Mercedes, which probably won't change, unless we go Porsche.
