Have you seen an interresting non-Fiero today?

[GTRS Fiero]

And this:

I haven't seen any of these in person, just online, but they're all interesting.

1954 Dodge Firearrow II by Ghia


1954 Glockler Porsche 356 Carrera


1984 Porsche 969 Turbo by Rinspeed. Rinspeed is a Swiss company that re-bodies cars, like making a Mera out of a Fiero. Kind of ugly if you ask me.

The last one looks kinda like an MR2 with lambo sides and an overgrown greenhouse.

The story is that all automobile manufacturers will cease making passenger cars and will only make trucks and SUV's.  I've wondered why manufacturers like Hyundai and Kia haven't produced a truck.  Well, this morning, I saw a Hyundai Pickup.  Not a bad looking vehicle in my opinion.  Looked just like this one.

Hyundai also makes an Expedition/Suburban size SUV known as the Palisade.

Hyundai/Kia is killing off the Sonata, K5, and Stinger vehicles in favor or EV cars. Just a matter of time before we will all be forced into it regardless if we want to.

Yes, many manufacturers have said they will be ending production in liquid fueled vehicles.  I think Volvo has said that they will be all electric by 2025.  Then Big Brother will know every move because you can't pay for a recharge with cash.  Maybe one could conceal their travels by buying MasterCard, Visa, Discover or American Express gift cards.

Biggest problem will be power grid related.  When every home tries to add an extra 75 amp circuit there will not be enough coal/oil fired plant created juice to go around.  All this is bound to fail, and then the politicians will shrug their shoulders and we'll move onto the next thing......I say bring back steam powered cars.

But then the anti-fossil fuelers will object and the tree huggers will come out of the woodwork (no pun) to protest.  Greenhouse gassers will be at every corner.  I don't know the ramifications of it, but nuclear-fueled land and sea vehicles have a longer fuel life and may even have a safer disposal method available than the lithium batteries of the EV cars.  Leave fossil fuels to the aircraft.  Can't pull into a parking lot and refuel them on a transcontinental or transoceanic flight.

I think we'll be okay, here. GPC has been planning...

But Texas and California (odd, lumping them into the same basket) can't even keep the lights on 24x7x365, even now.

Went to Red Top Mountain State Park & the Savoy Automobile Museum.

Great Steampunk & Micro Cars Exhibit.
