Gotta love Campus Martius. They do a great job every year. It's Detroit's version of Rockefeller Plaza. The new building going up in downtown Detroit is going to be something else. It'll make quite the difference in the skyline, looking at it from the Windsor side of the river. Can't wait to see it go up.
As for the 2019 Silverado, I gotta say I'm not a fan. I like the 2017/2018 model. Wish I could swap the headlights from the 2017 into my 2013. But won't fit, and wouldn't work properly without wiring mods and reprogramming the BCM. But back to the 2019 model. I don't like the design of the headlight area. That little piece of body color under the headlights looks like a mistake, or the truck is giving you the middle finger. Either way, I don't like it.
The entire grill just doesn't feel right to me. If it was a black truck, it would be fine. But on any other color, with a black plastic grill and black bumper, the front of the truck looks like a giant black hole with a chevy logo. I think they should've joined those two middle fingers by continuing a body color stripe across the front. Where the chevy bowtie is. Would look better. But what do I know? They're the highly paid engineers, and I'm not. One thing though... I got that email from Chevy with the pictures like you posted also. But I noticed under the pictures, it reads "PREPRODUCTION MODEL SHOWN. ACTUAL PRODUCTION VEHICLE MAY VARY." So maybe they'll tweek the design a little for the actual production model when it comes out in the fall of next year.

Good morning guys, hope everyone had a good Christmas! I'm off work til Tuesday.
Wow is it cold... -15 right now. We got about 6" of snow between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day yesterday. Yesterday was some heavy lake effect snow; we were out and about and I could only see maybe 100 feet in front of me at times.

Good morning guys.
This weather is crazy. 0 degrees this morning... it's a heat wave! Flint has broken its low temp record three days in a row, yesterday was its lowest at -17 degrees. Ann Arbor was at -18 a few mornings ago. The overall Great Lakes ice coverage has gone from 3% to 9% in just five days.
We got 0.8" of snow last night. We're looking at another 1-2" today/tonight.

Good Morning everyone
Saw your weather report from Michigan and here is doesn't look any better supposed to get below zero this weekend and maybe warm up next week sometime. I was in Colorado Springs for the Christmas and it was cold but nice there wasn't much snow on Pikes peak. But the Rockies wet of Denver was pretty snowy.

I haven't put my Monte away yet this winter, because I haven't had the free-time or the nice day to do it.
So I figured since it's a dry day, I'd take it to work today...
Boy oh boy, does my car not like the cold! My tune is so far off it's not even fun.
