Good Morning Warren and Friends, One of the chatters last week asked, "What group would have this information? I know when the turbo 4 ECOBOOST came out at first, people seemed unsure about it in terms of MPG and reliability. Specifically talking about the 2.0T in the Fusion Titanium, not the smaller 1.5. Has the [...]
Sorry that we couldn't chat last week. We're back! The last time we chatted a chatter asked about the new concept from Continental AG, one of the big auto suppliers. They were showcasing a speakerless car; the system was built into the car instead. The chatter asked, "Using structural elements of the vehicle as speakers [...]
Good Morning Warren and Friends, If you could build a car, would it be built on your family heritage or your personal life, how would it look? What colors would be on the exterior and interior?

Good Morning Warren and Friends, Does anyone have solar panels? I am down to deciding between two different groups; one has LG Neon2 panels, the other uses Sunpower. If you have either panels, tell me what you like, or don't like. IF you're reading this after the chat, you can always email me at lou [...]
Good Morning Warren and friends, It's hard to believe it's only one week since the New York auto show. It's been a long week, and I'm so happy to be back with you. I put up a post about the cars I saw at the New York International Auto show. The last of my Mother's [...]
Good Morning Warren and Friends, Fashion week for car, aka New York Auto Show, is over. Fast and furious, the show had a bit of something for everyone. More SUVs, performance cars, and clean air - green - cars were in the mix. This is quintessential New York - I'm walking out of Hotel Eventi, [...]
Good Morning Warren and Friends, This week I went to Boerne, Texas (think San Antonio) to drive the all new Volkswagen Atlas. Even though it has a Greek name (the third time VW has used a Greek mythology name), it is not a myth any longer. 2018 Volkswagen Atlas five models, prices, and specs: 2018 [...]
