I am just saying such predictions have a history of being wrong. The ICE will be around for a while and is not going away anytime soon. Currently the ICE has major advantages over just about any other fuel, and until those advantages disappear the ICE will be around.
This is not to say that we won't have a lot more vehicles that use other types of fuels and their numbers won't grow. Just saying that the ICE has plenty of life left in it.
I agree 100%. It's going to get interesting with battery EV, hydrogen, natural gas, and who knows what else they come up with. Battery EV seems to be taking a lead as the gas/diesel alternative but that could definitely change. And ICE will be around for many decades.
Beyond the environmental piece and sticking it to the oil producing countries, I'm now addicted to driving an electric vehicle. I love it. The instant torque, the smooth and effortless acceleration, no shift points or engine RPMs. Just smooth, quiet, and "OH MY GOSH THE TORQUE!!!!" Last night my daughter and I giggled, laughed, and gushed over how fun the car was to drive and ride in while I brought her home from swim practice. It's been a long, long time since I've looked for excuses just to go for a drive. "What, we're out of peanuts? Dang. Well, I'll just have to go to the store. Yeah, you're welcome, see ya' later."
Whatever the fuel/drive mix may become, I just hope there will be an abundance of vehicles with electric motors as primary propulsion. I don't want to give it up :-)
I do think it's going to be a mix of fuel types but I think that hydrogen will only make up a tiny percentage. That being due to it needing the largest infrastructure expansion and how we get hydrogen. Outside of being a byproduct of natural gas extraction the only other major source is electrolysis and it would be more efficient to use the electricity in an EV.
I do see most people adopting EV's before natural gas vehicles.
I think my first endeavor into EV's might be a plug 8n hybrid where most of my driving would be on pure battery.

When a main artery through the eastern suburbs collapsed earlier this year due to a landslide it took PennDOT over 3 months to remediate, repair, and reopen the road.

Wish I wasn’t so conflicted on the Stinger GT. Because, for the prices they’ve thrown at me for the GT2 ($39K), it’s looking like quite a deal on a really good car, that may or may not have some quality and dealership issues.
The interest rate on leases is really high and the residuals are really low; not recommended other than to get the lease cash and immediately refinance.

Yeah. I saw the little laughing thingy after posting.
At first I thought the road that was fixed was a different one...lol, but, the pictures were taken from slighly different spots. Then I thought it odd the traffic going one way had a larger lane then the traffic going the other way, then I saw a sign that says you are coming up to 2 way traffic. It kind of looked like the guys who did the lines were inebriated when they did the painting.

GG, keep them coming. That was a great review and I would agree with their findings for the most part. I have to question some things....like they keep complaining about the bright red interior on the BMW, well, it does come in other colors. Overall, I like the Genesis best, Kia second, but if buying, and I could come up with another $8000, I might think there is less chance I will regret getting the BMW.
Also, they mention BMW 3 Series is ready for an update. The 2019s are out and they haven't changed, seems to be the same design especially the interior since about 2012. It is a nice design but it is getting a little long in the tooth.
Man, around here that would have taken 6 months minimum to go back into service.
Hell, 6 months is nothing. If a road in the Burgh area required that much work, it would take at least 8 months for the thieves around here to decide who's palm gets greased this time before a single load of dirt is dosed around.

But the lines on the roads separating traffic going in opposite directions is yellow, that line was white. You drive with the solid white line to your right and the solid yellow line to your left. So it was obvious one lane with a wide paved shoulder.

Driver, the 2019 3 series is a full redesign. But as usual, it looks just like the last version.
Thanks stick. When they say full redesign it seems to me they use all different parts, make the windows a bit larger, make the taillights a little longer, put that hockey stick on the side, longer lower grill, but, the final car looks exactly the same. But, I checked the interior and I don't see any changes. One reason I didn't get a 2015 535 was because the car seemed to be exactly like my 2012....what is the fun in buying a new car that looks exactly the same? I already got the color I liked the best, I'd have to do a JM and get a color I don't like as much :@

Didn't think of that.....thought the hood of the car taking the picture was in a driving lane. I assumed it would be illegal to park on the side of a highway to snap pictures. btw....on my laptop all the lines look washed out white.
I haven’t seen PUG prices this low in quite some time at Costco. Costco continues to sell TOP TIER gasoline at 40 cents per gallon lower than any other retail gasoline station within 10 miles of where I live. $2.59.9 a gallon yesterday and this morning $2.55.9.
I pay $60 for the Costco membership per year. I purchase about 10 gallons per week at a savings of $4.00 per fill-up. So the savings in gas alone more than pays for the membership.
Speaking of Costco.... the strangest thing. We finally.... FINALLY.... have a Costco here in Fairbanks. However, I stopped at the station last week, and they ONLY sell gasoline! What's up with that?! I suspect that a solid 20% of fuel sold in this town is diesel; every other Costco station I've ever seen has both, but not Fairbanks, where we probably have a higher diesel-per-vehicle ratio than nearly anywhere in the US, and no diesel?
Just sad.

Yeah, I didn't figure it would take them long to have it passable. The Vine Road collapse is still being fixed, but I imagine they will be done within a few days. Still warm weather down there, so no problem doing asphalt either!

They only sell gasoline at the 3 Costco’s I know about here in south Florida. Never saw diesel pumped at a Costco and they only sell RUG and PUG, no mid-grade.
I'm not sure that I have ever seen anyone buy mid-grade... ever. Costco is all about volume, so it makes sense for them to stick to what sells. Which is why it would make sense for them to have diesel pumps in Fairbanks, Alaska!!!

Given that you are used to the high quality of the Acura, my guess is that there might be some issues going to the KIA Stinger. But if you did go that route what would happen to your TLX?

"The Infiniti QX50 is so wonderfully likable and yet infuriating. It boasts great handling, a comfortable ride, a quiet cabin, and some seriously stylish sheet metal.
But glaring faults always seem to spoil the experience. For instance, the brilliantly executed interior and cabin ergonomics are spoiled by the infuriatingly obtuse infotainment system. And the driving experience created by the innovative engine and the well-sorted suspension is ruined by the clunky transmission...."

The Costco up near Jacksonville (where my brother lives) doesn’t sell gasoline either. Might be because of local ordinances.

We have one of those too. I think they were built in areas not zoned to sell gas. But one 10 miles away does sell gas, so it isn't a government issue here (at the Canada home)
I would think a minivan would be among the least abused rentals.
That wouldn't appear to be the case. I went down the Enterprise sales lot, off the Gulf Freeway here in Houston, to look at their stock of minivans. Mostly Chrysler T&C, but they also had Toyota Siennas and Nissan Quests. No Hondas, of course. And every single one they had on the lot was abused. Interior pieces missing, windshields cracked, seats visibly scuffed and scarred. And the only thing they were willing to even discuss fixing was the cracked windshield.
I had much better luck at various new car dealerships, from the used department. And they were all or nearly all ex-rentals that had been through auction. Either Enterprise auctions off the better ones, and sells the more abused ones themselves. Or else the dealerships fixed them up after buying at auction, which I strongly doubt.
If you were speaking of "abused" as the driver hot rodding, then you're probably right. But I'm speaking of someone going on a vacation road trip with a car load of rug rats.
I don’t know how Enterprise selects which ones to put on their own lots but I do know that dealers have access to the entire fleet. If they want any car or truck they can have it. Those units are all “as is” so I imagine dealers expect to do any reconditioning themselves. We’ve delivered some rough vehicles to mom & pop stores where they go to junk yards for refurbishing. One place told us that they sometimes gut a bad interior and put a whole new one in from a salvage yard.

I can't imagine why a knowledgeable mechanic would say that Nissans are junk. Very few mainstream cars built today are junk.
"Junk" is a vague and relative word that can mean different things to different people. What someone might consider junk today might have been considered top of the line 50 years ago. It's pretty much a judgment call but almost any car today will hold up for some time and deliver decent service for many years.
Making a blanket statement that a Nissan is "junk"is disrespectful to a brand of car that many people buy and like. I don't think a really good mechanic would make such a statement. People buy cars for various reasons. He has his preconceived ideas about Nissans and MBs, I don't think the kind of mechanic I would be looking for would make these sweeping unsubstantiated claims....how many Nissans has he worked on and how many Mercedes for one thing?
One car I would never buy is a Fiat....they seem to be flimsy and the past record has not been sterling. My friend got one as a winter beater when he didn't want to drive his Maserati in the snow. He loved that it could turn on a dime, easy to find a parking space, didn't worry about where he parked it. I wouldn't call a Fiat junk, there are people who buy them and like them.
Scotty Kilmer thinks Fiats are junk too. He cites initial sales figures of 50,000 units shrinking to 5,000 as proof.
What he says may be true or maybe it isn't. Because of the way he talks and because of his anecdotal reasons for why a Nissan is junk I don't think Scotty has much credibility. I would be more inclined to trust CR or J D Powers if I was doing research about a particular brand.
He has a video trashing the various “book” valuation tools because of their various interlocking corporate ownerships. According to him J D Powers owns some of the well known valuation services. His position is why would you trust advertising agencies or car sellers as to what the value of a use car is.
Edmunds was not mentioned.
Scotty is probably right to say Nissan doesn't make the best cars in very many categories. This U.S. news article made 20 comparisons between Toyota and Nissan vehicles in different categories. Toyota won in almost every category, with a few exceptions, but not many. Nissan vs. Toyota: Battle of the Brands Performance - Winner: Tie Interiors - Winner: Tie Reliability - Winner: Toyota Price - Winner: Toyota Safety - Winner: Nissan Pickup Trucks - Winner: Toyota Small SUVs - Winner: Nissan Midsize SUVs - Winner: Toyota Large SUVs - Winner: Toyota Small Cars - Winner: Toyota Midsize Cars - Winner: Toyota Large Cars - Winner: Toyota Hybrids - Winner: Toyota Minivans - Winner: Toyota Sports Cars - Winner: Toyota Vehicle Lineup - Winner: Toyota The cars were rated and tested. And, even though Toyota won in almost every category, I think Scotty loses all credibility when he refers to Nissans as junk. That is as unprofessional just like Scotty sounds. Iluv would be very upset. FULL ARTICLE
Many articles rate Nissan much higher than average in many categories. This article says: In a recent Telegraph survey, Nissan came tenth in the most reliable cars of 2017, with 98 problems per 100 vehicles.
Reliability Index have put Nissan ninth out of 32 brands for reliability, with a reliability index of 88. This is much better than the industry average (the lower the score, the better the reliability). Nissan have also put several Nissan models in their top 100 most reliable models, including the X-Trail, the Qashqai and the Micra
Cheatsheet also score Nissan highly, reporting that Nissan models can reach 195,593 miles before hitting zero value. This puts them sixth in their table. This study was carried about by Mojo Motors who used an algorithm to work out how many miles a vehicle could do before it lost all of its value. They looked at more than 500,000 models from between 1994 and 2014. So Nissan did pretty well in that study.
FULL ARTICLE Once again, not the best, but, NOT junk!
I’ve got no bone to pick with Nissan espically since I’m fond of the Altima and family members own them. I will say one thing, based on my limited sample with family, they rust out pretty quick in the northeast. But then, most cars do.
I think Scotty Kilmer’s gripe is mainly with their CVTs.

I bought my present mattress through WalMart online. This was about 7 years ago. I don't even recall the brand name, but it was a 10 inch memory foam, queen size, and cost me about $380. And it is still in great condition, 7 years later. I really like memory foam mattresses.
Good lawyer batted a thousand, going 3 for 3 at getting positive results in my "Speeding ticket, failure to appear, failure to pay, license suspension, change of venue to County Seat, Case Dismissed" court saga.
I didn't get the paperwork yet, but got the phone call that at trial at the County Seat, the case got dismissed, so we can only assume with about 99.5% certainty that it was dismissed for lack of prosecution since I had said all along the case was won already when the Sheriff from Santee granted the County Seat at the time of writing the ticket. No way a Santee Sheriff goes out of their way to Kearny Mesa for a ticket they know they shouldn't have written in the first place.
It's a shame I had a to hire a lawyer to have a trial in the County Seat, but the net result was the same, the Court got $0.00 from me. In fact, I can only assume that they wasted postage on maybe 4 or 5 extra notifications, in addition to taking up maybe 5-10 minutes of the Court's time all together (95% of which was probably during the motion for change of venue).
Next up, the cheap "mr. ticket" lawyer and what he does to the "sign violation" citation case.
All those court people are lawyers, the only difference is which one of them you pay.

I feel like it’s a huge racket. You can’t cross shop because all stores carry different variations of the same brands... then they all have “house” brands.
Last year we just gave up, decided on Mattress Firm’s top of the line house brand. You can deal with them a little and she brought the price down under 2k for king. It’s like sleeping on a cloud and should be. One similar in a name brand was 1,000 more at any store.
Did we overpay? Who knows. We love it and it’s done now.

We have one of those too. I think they were built in areas not zoned to sell gas. But one 10 miles away does sell gas, so it isn't a government issue here (at the Canada home)

I feel like it’s a huge racket. You can’t cross shop because all stores carry different variations of the same brands... then they all have “house” brands.
Last year we just gave up, decided on Mattress Firm’s top of the line house brand. You can deal with them a little and she brought the price down under 2k for king. It’s like sleeping on a cloud and should be. One similar in a name brand was 1,000 more at any store.
Did we overpay? Who knows. We love it and it’s done now.
