Electric Escalade, eh? Riiiiiiiiight.

'Classic RT Viper' As in V10 Viper? Gas isn't 35 cents a gallon anymore, Jim.

Anyhow, I look forward to reading all about it some day.

Never have owned a foreign car, just motorcycles and those were British or Japanese.

Even in the 60’s the Japanese bikes were excellent mechanically, electrically together with fit and finish. British, well, let’s just say that I learned about washing oil soaked jeans left leg only from mid calf down. Also got many lessons on electrical repairs on the side of the road, a couple times in a not so nice area of Detroit and Flint.

Even my Harleys were more electrically reliable, my ‘82 FLH had a maddening tendency to lose all power, found a prior owner had tapped into the main battery positive lead for a cigarette lighter and poorly installed a crimp connector inline. Found out where he hid that tap at two in the morning on the side of the road when I saw an arc while moving the harness.
