Looking into my crystal ball, I see you, one day, crashing this car into a light rail train speeding down Flamingo or Tropicana!

It's me.

A couple of problems. 13" difference in our heights and the Volt does not have power seats. My head is about 1" from the roof and she has no idea where the front of the car is because the seat won't go high enough. It will beep if you get close when pulling forward, but she is very uncomfortable w/o seeing the front. If I'm in a front seat no one is behind me. I have to push it back all the way. If I sit in back I have to bend over. I can't sit up straight because the roof is too low.

We have found that most electric seats solve the height problem, but other "fit" problems my be the same in the other two. We just have to drive them and find out.

But that's later. We are still dealing with the fallout from her sisters death.

Everyone, please make a will.

Captain Kirk was wrong, space is not the Final Frontier. Death is.

We have some friends that are very religious. The freaky kind of religion. Really good people, but we don't usually talk about religion with them.

Death came up one night and I commented that the answer to life and death was simple.

You're not here.
You're here.
You're not here.

He went nuts. Rambled on about there has to be an afterlife because he speaks tongues and it's not him speaking it's God speaking through him. I just stared at him until he wound down. This is the same guy who lectures me about the Apocalypse every time there is a blood moon. Half an hour of fire and brimstone.

After nothing happens not a word is said. I never mention that the Apocalypse was, once again, averted. If he needs a crutch that much I'm not going to kick it out from under his arm.

LMAO! He'd go get antibiotics for the injury. His doctor gives them out like candy. One of these days he's going have a real need for them and they won't work. Someone needs to kick that crutch as well.

I want the new ZL1 Camaro, Cadillac CTS-V, C7 Z06, and the C6 ZR1.

For trucks I want either the 2019 Ram 1500 Limited or the F150 Lariat Sport ecoboost.
Chevy trucks are too outdated.

The 2019 Volt is rumored to have a power drivers seat in the more expensive models. We will wait and see.
