So one day I have them out and inform them that THEY are going to get us back home. I'm the driver, but you two will tell me where to turn. I'll follow any directions you give me. (They were about 7 and 11 years old at the time) First intersection, they choose poorly, and we're off on an adventure. I played it out... about 2 hours later they admit they're lost (they DID start to follow a route to Grandma's house so they thought they were going SOMEWHERE) so I "come back online" and we have a nice trip to Gettysburg!
After that, they paid more attention to their surroundings... and anytime we'd say "Get in the car" they'd ask where we were going and I'd say Gettysburg. Dad jokes never grow old...LOL

Touche sir. Touche.
Not too long after I got my '09 Genny, I was helping Son #1 with a plumbing job at his first house. He needed a part that the big boxes didn't have so he called this well stocked plumbing place about a mile and a half from him. The good news was they had the part but they moved about two weeks ago and were now about 12 miles away in an area we both knew about but not the out of the way street where it was now located.
My Genny was blocking his car so he said, "this will be a good time to find out how good your NAV system is, so lets take your car". That was fine with me and I told him he could drive. I set up the NAV system and off we go. I don't think we were even two miles out of his driveway and he says, "where the hell is this thing trying to take me? I know a better way get to that area than what she is trying tell me". So, he doesn't do what she said and the NAV lady says, "recalculating". This had to happen at least 6 or 7 times. Finally we are in the area that neither of us knows so we had to do what she said. We are now about 2 blocks from our destination, if she is right, so we keep following her directions. As we get about 100 feet from the place, my Son says, "oh, there it is". As he is about to make a LEFT turn into their parking lot, she says, "your destination is on your RIGHT. Your Navigation system is now off". He looks at me and says, "I should have known that girl didn't know her left from her right". Maybe so but she got us close enough and I thought she was very patient with him. For a while there I thought she was going to say, "since you seem to know more than me...GOOD BYE" !!! :@ However, she was a very courteous girl and didn't say that but if it was me in that NAV thingy, that's what I would have said.

That is why I don't buy a wannabe car...they don't know their left from their right. Somethings just won't work the way they are supposed to.

If the TomTom drives you off a cliff would you sue TomTom?
But, probably more accurate in the real car than the wannabe car.

Speak for yourself.
...and how many times does the Nav voice tell you to make a U-Turn before she gives you a "recalculating" ?

I will say one thing, the 2017 has much better voice recognition than the 2015.

Interesting...I’ve spent quite a bit of time recently down in Newport. The local bands I follow play at the Mansion Hill Bar. Plus, knowing the owners of Newberry’s, I seem to stop and visit them once every couple of weeks. Just did Taste of Newport a couple of weeks ago. Not nearly as big as Cincinnati’s, but a nice start nonetheless. Then, there’s all the entertainment with the Aquarium and the Levy. Nice job by Newport.
I like what they’re doing with that area....sort of keeping it’s “old town” feel while revitalizing and redirecting it’s core.
The town I grew up in (Hamilton, OHIO) is going through something similar right now....moving from a mainly industrial base and converting into an artists’ enclave.
These were taken Tuesday....

Congrats to the Blues, finally a breath of fresh air in what often seems like the darkest dumbest timeline. They worked harder for it and won it cleanly. Chara and Bergeron already have Cups, ratweasel Marchand and inheritance elite sleazeball (I mean bootstrapping second coming of Horatio Alger who built it all himself lolol) Jacobs don't deserve another.
We were also at Taste of Newport. They've never been able to get any traction with that, it seems. We used to frequent Newport Pizza.
Speaking of blues, have you seen Sonny Moorman?

Just another useless skill, like knowing how to spell.
Did somebody hit that guy in the head with an axe...he has a cut on his forehead. He really likes to pronounce his words clearly. The car looks pretty good, 380 h.p. for $58k, and it is beautiful and sounds like a blast to drive. Another thing I wonder....do these guys make any money from these videos?

I would say this is fatal? No buffing it out.
The green and white Ohio license plate is probably from the model year for the Corvette.
I don't recall what year that was. I searched and found 1912, 1961, and 1973 had green backgrounds.
I'll go with 1973... LOL

Just another useless skill? Sup dude/etc? It may be a metaphor as to why current day generations can be more useless? 🎭

Yeah...was shocked to walk into Mansion Hill and remember what it was like when they still allowed smoking in bars. No one was smoking while we were there (about an hour) but you could still smell it.
Just saw Sonny last night. He was doing a solo gig at one of my favorite restaurants on the "other side" of the river....www.meritagecincy.com. He just released a new album. He plays 7 days a week. I talked to him briefly during a break. He's teaching during the day and playing every night. Great guitar player....as good as any of the "big names". He just never caught a break.
@driver100 ...they do make good money doing the videos. I read somewhere that a subscriber to a Youtube video series is worth $1. You have 10 subscribers, you get $10. You have 100,000 subscribers, you get $100,000. You have 1,000,000 subscribers, you get a cool million dollars.
I noticed his head "gash", too. He also writes for Autotrader.
Agree about that BMW.
Does he play with his band at the Meritage? We've never been there.
