The shittiest, most worthless, cup holder in history of The Automotive World, is the Gen C7 Corvettes, as there are two, runs front to back, and the divider is a moveable shit piece of plastic that does not stay in place.

I have gallons of gatorade on both front floormats to evidence my claim.

The line that serves the Yadkin Valley is Norfolk Southern. Did a new spur and rail yard for a chicken feed factory many years ago. Great folks to work with.

The cool thing about the '30's and most of the '40's cars is the flat floors....no real tunnel, at least not much of one. Body mounted on top of the frame and you step up into it. Hudson pioneered the 'step down' feature in '48 when they dropped the floors over the edges of the sill, suddenly creating a low center of gravity and great handling for the time. That shifter needs to say "HURST" on the side and have a white knob that says
R 1 3 .

Agree.
My wife’s favorite car color. But when she goes to buy one she always chickens out and get silver.

However, the short line that runs from Winston Yard to Roaring River and Mt. Pilot is the Yadkin Valley Railroad. Still good people.

Saw the Yadkin river on a NC map on an episode of 'This is Monsters' on youtube. NC couple killed and dismembered the mother of the guy's two children so they could be a fresh new family. He was a black, sometimes-employed musician, and she was a white sociopath attracted to black musicians. It didn't end well. She killed the woman and got 10-12 years, but the guy got life without parole for the dismemberment and planning it in the first place. Talk about your White Privilege!! Yadkinville and the Yadkin River clearly ROCK.

That's amateur hour compared to what happened in the town that I used to live in ten years ago. https://fox2now.com/news/first-look-...clemmons-home/

My son was in high school when this guy was doing his devil worship and the track teams used to run right by that house.

Then there was this sicko, one county over from me in Upstate NY. Guy put wo girls through a wood chipper. According to this article he hung himself in prison but I remember it differently, Sherriff's deputy's shot him on sight. https://www.nytimes.com/1996/11/03/n...d-in-cell.html

I might be confusing it with another story, same town but years earlier, Mom and her son killed a family and the Deputy's shot the son when they found him. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-...977-story.html

I traded in a '17 Taco for it; I've had pickups since 1975. I retired last year and thought about this all summer: Do I really need a pickup any more?

I decided no, but I'll probably regret it.

About the red: All my neighbors (there are 12 of us on a dirt road) have either pickups or SUVs. When they go by I can't tell who is who because the vehicles are all some shade of white/silver/gray/black. And by the time I learn some of them, they get a new white/silver/gray/black vehicle.

So I told the Mazda salesman I wanted any color except any version of the above -- they are drab, boring, and harder to spot in a big parking lot. They had the red ($600 extra) had the options I wanted so that was that. It was out on the Pacific somewhere at that time though, I had to wait 5 weeks to actually get it.

Car is great, but the dealer experience was absolutely the worst in my (long) life.

I very rarely drink anything in my vehicles, but thinking about what you said, yes it's probably true -- they're too far back, right above your elbow.

The screen controls were weird at first, and different than most others, but I'm getting used to them now and actually like them better than touchscreens.

The water source is the Yadkin River.

Very plentiful water supply for the region. At one time we were exporting some to Greensboro.
