#qotd

I am once again working from a hotel room -- this time in Las Vegas -- in advance of attending a press event.

This time, I am here to see what Dodge has on hand to send off its muscle cars in style.

Today is St. Patrick's Day. I'm wearing a green t-shirt that mixes the Irish and Chicago flags together*, there's corned beef in my crock pot, and Guinness in my fridge for later. Meanwhile, Fox News auto writer Gary Gastelu has asked the most relevant question.

GM CEO Mary Barra was talking AI on Fox Business the other day, though she and GM vice president Scott Miller didn't say much in the way of specifics, mostly referencing things like using AI as a voice assistant or for syncing a driver's calendar to the car.

Many press programs allow us keyboard warriors to wheel whatever car we're testing on some twisty two-lane road that has almost nothing in the way of passing zones. Today's drive of the new Dodge Hornet was no exception.

These roads do, however, often have turnouts.

I am sitting in a hotel in Asheville, North Carolina, wondering why the cold weather followed me from Chicago.

I'm here to drive the Dodge Hornet.

An outfit called the Valley View Recreation Club is hosting a nude car show in Cambridge, Wisconsin, this summer.

Planned for August 10th through August 13th, 2023, the show will be taking place at a nudist campground. Cambridge, for those wondering, is about 20 miles east of Madison.

We've featured the winners and losers of the J.D. Power survey that involved electric vehicles. I have a broader question based on these posts.

Motor1 brings us a report of a replica 1975 Ford Gran Torino that has popped up on Bring a Trailer. It's a replica of the Gran Torinos that starred in the Starsky and Hutch TV show.

I wrote yesterday that we need a truce among car people when it comes to interior design -- specifically, knobs vs screens -- and I told you folks that, generally speaking, I prefer a mix of the two.

Now it's your turn.

Mr. Guy wrote yesterday about how Ford F-150 Lightning owners are using their trucks for so-called "truck stuff" as much, if not more, than owners of internal-combustion engine F-150s are.

An independent digital artist in Hungary has decided to render something no one asked for but at least a few thousand folks probably would buy -- a GR version of the Toyota Grand Highlander.

Today was supposed to be a snowmageddon around these parts. Instead, it's just a gray, cold day.

We know the upcoming Ford Mustang will offer a hi-po Dark Horse trim, and that trim will be available with carbon-fiber wheels. They won't be cheap.

Question is -- if you can afford the Dark Horse, would you pay more for these wheels?

I or another staffer has probably asked this QOTD before, and it will probably come up again, but hands-free driving is fresh in my mind.

Autoblog has a report via Reuters suggesting that VinFast will make its first U.S. deliveries the day after tomorrow.
