server updates tonight 6-17-12

[Drew Dowdell]

I'm going to be upgrading the invision power software that runs C&G tonight. Things might look a little weird or not operate at all for a short while. I plan to start the updates at 930 pm eastern.

All done. Back to debating the quality of ash tray inserts

[daves87rs]

Nice....

Shoot, I had an epic idear for a thread, but now I forgot what it was.

[A Horse With No Name]

I'd say the Verano has the best ash tray inserts of any car on the planet...

The rest of the car is pretty lust worthy also.

Back to the debate.

No way Jose best ashtray inserts? Gotta be the 1970 Fairlane, followed by the 1974 Benz 280C. Stop being wrong, dude!

[Robert Hall]

How about 4dr cars w/ ashtrays and lighters in the rear doors also...weird...I can just picture a family driving around and everyone smoking...or a group of old-school gangsters.

Grandfather's '77 New Yorker had them.

Grandfather's '77 New Yorker had them.

My sister's '00 DTS and '84 Merc 500SEL have them..

[Drew Dowdell]

How about 2 door cars with ashtray in the right door and another set on each side in the back with lighters in each one? I have as many or more power ports in my '81 as any modern crossover.

I guess they really were the cupholders of their time.

Nope your wrong on the ashtray thing. Try a 93 or 94 GMC Suburban, you had ashtrays with lighters on the doors in the dash and in the center console for the back seat and even in the wheel well for the third seat. My suburban was built for the texas market, but had everything I wanted plus the smokers package. It got shipped up from Texas and I was shocked at how many freakin trays and lighters it came with.

Lucky for me, I do not smoke,but all those power ports sure come in handy on road trips for plugging in auto accessories.

Rock on GM for the smokers option.

I will say now in my son's new Jeep Patriot, I love the 110 plug outlets in the front and back of the vehicle for use by all 5 passengers and the outlet in the far back for use by other stuff. Pretty cool.
