Got this from one of the auto news sites I subscribe to, new Yota shown at the Geveva auto show, concept known as FT-86, looks like it could be the next Supra....... Looks decent too.........

The competition keeps tryin, but the Z will always rule. There is no letter after Z, that's it. I did like the last Supra, very nice car, but this doesn't do it for me. (hows the snow out there?)

Finally stopped after about a foot of heavy wet snow, our local utilities report record power outages, think it exceeded 220k in the dark, my back kills as it was too heavy for the blower, Spring is supposed to be 3 weeks away, we'll see..........

Yep, you got snow. I finally got a snow blower, big John Deer, and you would think it can handle any snow, but the wet stuff it can't, so what good are these darn things. Well, now that the wife has her new Hyundai Tuson with 4 wheel drive, maybe I won't have to bother with snow removal next year. If it is 3 feet of snow, I just get in my truck and go, so I was just doing it for her.

I think it's about a $20,000 difference. :shock: I hope our next show is in Middletown again, heck, it's in the middle and conveinent for most, plus those guys were good to us.

No, the Rogue is the Compact suv like the Tucson, can't be that big of a price difference.... Come on Spring....

Sympathing with y'all.

I'm a lot better after back surgery about 4 years ago: at least I can walk,
drive Z Cars, and participate in Z Club functions again! No shoveling
though, that affects the 75% the doctor couldn't do at the time.

But my precious wife Kathy had the solution. About 3 years ago Home
Depot had a year end clearance on snowblowers. Kathy noticed this and
suggested we buy one for about 40% off. I ONLY ARGUED A LITTLE BIT.
We got one that must be a commercial model. It has a 10.5 HP
Tecumseh, more gears forward and reverse than I can use, headlights
for the rare occasion I am brave enough to go out into the dark and cold
of night.............That sucker will cut through a snowdrift and pitch it about
30 feet! Now my biggest problem is keeping things picked up so I don't
have to replace shear pins so often...........................

It's sleek, but sorta reminds me of the Chrysler convertables.

Very slick, was in Ireland about 5 years ago and some of the coolest looking cars there were Peugeots... Wife was there for her work and I went along for the fun of it... We rented a Nissan Micra, very popular cars in Europe for many years and a neat little car also, the Versa is the closest thing to it in the states... Being a car nut I totally enjoyed seeing all the Euro cars that have not been imported to the US in years, fiats, alfas, mg's etc...

That thing looks too good to be French.

I first thought it was a modified GT-R! :lol:
