I wonder if the moderators here might give consideration to having a separate thread elsewhere for pure speculation?
Personally, I'd prefer it if this thread here was limited to such things as vehicle observations and meaningful discussion of GNE services and brands and other announcements. I find the whole "Here's what I think is going to happen" and "This is what a driver told me" stuff to be very tedious and somewhat pointless.
No doubt I'll get shot down in flames, but if we could separate out the guesswork and fantasy from the reality of what's happening on the road, I'd find this to be far more interesting.
