    January 15th, 2026

    A Carpenter Conventional-Style School Bus On The General Motors (Chevrolet) Chassis & Cowl In The Municipality Of Rose Township, Michigan That Sadly; Has Met The Same Fate As The 1945 Wayne Conventional-Style School Bus On The International Harvester/Navistar H-Series Chassis & Cowl That Had Later Served As A De Facto City Bus In Fairbanks, Alaska; And Was Ultimately Abandoned In The Backwoods Of Alaska, By Being Converted Into Living Quarters For Vagabond Bums.

  • Rethinking GM’s Future: A New-Class Compact Van

    January 14th, 2026

    This Article By The Website Allpar Chronicling The Ambitious Development Of The Minivan By The Chrysler Corporation Beginning In The 1970’s, Including One Of The Design Objectives Being A Low, Flat Floor; Are One Of The Many Things I Dislike About Every Minivan That Chrysler Has Ever Built; And Every Other Car-Based Minivan.

    What most did not want was one of the company’s B-Vans-David Zatz

    Contrary to this Article stating that most people did not want a Dodge B-Van, a General Motors (Chevrolet/GMC) Full-Size Van, or a Ford Econoline/Club Wagon for personal use; I love the traditional, American Full-Size Vans, and the European Full-Size Vans (including the Ford Transit). I also love the Truck-based Compact Vans from General Motors and Ford, the Astro/Safari and the Aerostar, the T1, T2, T3, and T4 Volkswagen Transporter/Microbus/Vanagon/EuroVan; all successive generations of the Volkswagen Transporter that have been sold in markets other than in North America since 2003; the Volkswagen I.D Buzz, the Renault Estafette, the Renault Trafic, the Renault 1,000 Kg, the Renault Super Goélette, the Renault Master, the Peugeot J7, the Peugeot J9, the Citroen TUB, the Citroen H-Van, the Fiat 238, the Fiat 242, the Fiat Ducato, the Iveco Daily, the Toyota HiAce, the Nissan Urvan, the Mitsubishi Delica, the Mazda Bongo, the Toyota Master/Ace/Tarago/VanWagon, the Toyota Estima/Previa; and the Nissan Vanette.

    https://www.motales.com/cars/Plymouth/minivans.php

    If you acquire a copy of the Book that I wrote about how I would personally run General Motors, you will read that I would rekindle General Motors’ relationship with Fuji Heavy Industries/Subaru; and I would order the development of a European-style Compact Van using a Subaru EREV Powertrain with a Subaru EJ Engine as the Range-Extending Internal Combustion Engine, would definitely be of a higher and taller profile and would incorporate a high, flat floor; would be benchmarked against the Renault Trafic, Volkswagen Transporter, and Volkswagen I.D Buzz; would be styled by either one of the two leading Italian styling firms: ItalDesign or Bertone; and would be sold in the North American market as a new-generation Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari.

    You may purchase a copy of this Book online from Barnes & Noble:

  • Exploring Sully: The Impact of Flight 1549 on Charlotte’s Sports Culture

    January 13th, 2026

    How Ridiculous It Is With The 2016 Motion Picture About The 2009 Aircraft Accident Of U.S Airways Flight 1549; Where Tom Hanks Portrays Airline Pilot Chesley Burnett “Sully” Sullenberger III, That Three Of The Passengers On That Flight: A Father And Two Sons, Are Flying To Charlotte, North Carolina Only Because Of A “Golf Incident” Rather Than Flying To Charlotte Because Of It Being The Hub Of The Stock Car Racing Industry, The Presence Of Jefferson-Pilot Communications, WBT-AM-FM and WBTV-TV; And The Quail Hollow Country Club In The Charlotte City Proper Holding Major PGA Tour And PGA Senior Tour Events From 1969-1989, And From 2003-Onwards; Rather Than Being Caught Up In The Modern Golf Craze, And The Modernization Of The PGA Tour.

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3263904/

    See also these other posts regarding the ridiculous modern Golf craze, and the modernization of the PGA Tour: Besides The Fact That The PGA Tour Should Never Modernize, I Am Not Happy About Individuals In Saudi Arabia Founding A Rival, Startup Golf Sanctioning Organization Called LIV Golf. I Do, However, Think That The PGA Tour Merging With LIV Golf Would Be One Of The Best Things To Ever Happen To Both Organizations; A Young, Radical, Modern, And Athletic Golfer Who Has Been Caught Up In The Modernization Of The PGA Tour; Member Of The Australian Children’s Entertainment Musical Band “The Wiggles”, A Male By The Name Of Simon Pryce; Why Several Modern NASCAR And Formula 1 Drivers, And Several NBA, NFL, NHL, And MLB Players, And A Modern Actor Should Be Barred From Playing The Sport Of Golf; Tour, NASCAR on same team for day; Things That Modern NASCAR Driver Kevin Harvick Has In Common With Sean And His Wife’s (Whose Name Is Also Allison) Son Drew; and The Things That Two Or More Of The Relatives That I Have Never, Ever Meant; And Never, Ever Want To Have Anything To Do With Have In Common With Modern NASCAR Driver Denny Hamlin.
