AH . . . so it's you. I knew there was someone here who had a "jones" for the Snow Cruiser. I was thinking of you when I saw these photos which I believe I have never posted before.

Wouldn't it be nice to have Robert Ballard try to locate it. Unfortunately it will probably be lost forever due to shifting ice. It could be a thousand miles away from it's original abandonment point.

Maybe someday when highly sophisticated satellites with super sensitive magnetometers are aimed over Antarctica in search of precious rare earth metals it will be accidentally discovered.

The $59,995 C8 Corvettes Are 'Virtually Non-Existent' At Dealers: Report

Quote:
We reported the new mid-engine Corvette to start at an astonishing $59,995. But now that production delays are behind us and deliveries have finally begun, Cars Direct reports these base-model cars are “virtually non-existent.” The site’s analysts apparently are having trouble either finding a car at that price or one that hasn’t already been sold by a dealer.

The biggest hospital ship in the world will be heading to New York Harbor to help deal with the coronavirus pandemic, officials said Wednesday. A converted oil tanker, the USNS Comfort has 1,000 beds, 12 operating rooms, and weighs nearly 70,000 tons.

The ship will not be for those with the virus, but is instead intended to free up hospital beds in the greater New York region by taking on non-coronavirus patients, according to USNI News. Two sources told USNI News that the idea was for the ships to provide relief for coastal hospital systems, with the ships taking on non-COVID-19 cases and allowing the hospitals to focus on the most critical patients suffering from the virus.
