Salads and Pasta Dishes where they do not list that raw tomatoes are on the dish and I end up having ot send it back since they make me ill. Why do people think everything needs to have Tomatoes on it.

Maybe they could then properly fund the pension funds and not DUMP them on the Tax payers like the Airplane companies have done.

Nice Truck, Personally, I feel your just going to throw money away, you will miss the much higher mileage of your bug and you will be right back looking to get something else in 9-12 months taking a major hit on this truck. I think you should hold off for the Canyon/Colorado twins.

+1000 to Drews last comment. There is no real justification for this Tesla denial of selling direct other than others do not want to have direct sales push in on their franchise.

AWD to performance auto's is a must today. You have the Young generation that has grown up on WRX/STI and EVO and they say I love the look of the Camero, can it get me up the mountain to the ski resort safely? Yes some will say sure as is put on snow tires, most today want AWD and just drive it up and not have to deal with chains. I say GM WOULD see a Solid sales increase with an AWD Camero.

Input on new tires for my '08 Pontiac G6
G. David Felt replied to GMTruckGuy74's topic in Product Questions and Reviews
Coopers have been a love hate relationship. Some people have loved them some have hated them. I have never really gotten a good feel or picture so I could not say one way or another. Firestone, I would stay away from. I have not had any good experience. First time a tire tread came apart, the replacement under warranty blew out the sidewall. After that, I decided my family and friends quality of life was worth far more than saving the few bucks. I have gone with Costco and Discount Tire and never had a bad experience. -
Very cool posted Picture, Thanks never looked at the speedways this way. In regards to the streets, I would have to challange Canton. I know that some of the streets in San Francisco are darn near 45 or so based on even the trolly's do not go up them. I will also have to next time I am out walking around Seattle take a few pictures of some of the streets that connect the main roads as they sure seem to be around the 45 degree area as they to me look steeper than the race track.

Hit the news this weekend, A rare fully restored 1979 El Camino was stolen 1 month after the owner dies leaving his son and family devestated. Beautiful Ride, for those that can Apprecaite the time and effort that goes into making a auto this sweet. http://www.king5.com/news/cities/olympia/Rare-restored-car-with-sentimental-value-stolen-in-Olympia-250433281.html

The Euro Union dictatorship approach to Auto's is going to force some companies / divisions to either die or run away to far more friendly countries. I understand that the emissions is an issue, but for a company like Rolls you would think they could find a better way than a plug-in hybrid. A volt type power train makes far more sense.

G. David Felt Staff Writer Alternative Energy - CheersandGears.com March 15th 2014 Did these models DEFINE Cadillac? Cadillac had had a long history of hits and misses. Based on reviewing other writtings and forums it seems that the following years / models are hit upon by many as what defines Cadillac. Now with Cadillac rolling out their new emblem, I wonder, do these models define who Cadillac is today? 1915 Cadillac 1930 V16 Cadillac Sedan 1938 Cadillac Series 60 Sedan 1949 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe DeVille 1957 Cadillac Series 70 Eldorado Brougham 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible 1967 Cadillac Eldorado 1999 Cadillac Escalade 2003 Cadillac Sixteen Concept 2003 Cadillac CTS 2009 Cadillac CTS-V 2013 Cadillac ATS 2013 Cadillac Elmiraj Concept 2014 Cadillac CTS Do you agree with this list or do you feel there is another model that should be here that helped define Cadillac? Strange that there is no option to add pictures as I have pictures for each year I have posted in this topic.

Yet the current executives are dealing with cleaning up this mess from the past executives. I can understand being mad, but you cannot totally blame the current GM for the Old GM and people who made these poor decisions. DISAPPOINTED is how I sum it up. GM has Marketing Potential by jumping on this and fixing it right, taking care of the past mistakes and showing the world it cares. If they do it right, they will gain big time.
-
Very Cool, I have to agree that I think GM has gotten hit harder than needed about their system. But then it does push them to update it sooner and address concerns about the system.

Are you suggesting that I can't? It is much easier to get around in a snow storm with winter tires if you never have hills to climb... but in an area like mine, snow tires will only help so much. I find Ocn comment funny as I hear this all the time from people and they seem to only see their flat little world as what the rest of the world is like. I consider myself to be a very good driver, but I will admit that FWD or RWD on a light snow covered 45 degree hill will have a much harder time getting up than AWD. Here in Seattle we have hills that go way beyond 45 degrees and as the funny you tube videos show, does not matter what you have a little slick snow and you will slide. Yet even then you can get up the hill if you are slow careful and drive properly for the conditions. I know that Camero drivers even with snow tires cannot get up hills here in Seattle. Seen way to many of them and mustangs that have been crashed due to the lack of traction that only comes with AWD or a 4x4.

Industry News: Apple Unveils CarPlay Integration
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News
The aftermarket stereo system seems pretty dead to me Right now, I stopped by Car Toys who is a reseller for auto audio and cell phones and while a huge selection of system, I will say most of them are really dated compared to what current computers and smartphones are doing. I think this segment would be wise to move to smart stereo's now allowing people to get an Android Nav stereo system that could use local wifi or satellite uplink to stay current. -
While I have not been a fan for the pure electric play of auto's as they really are more focused on inner city driving, I have allot of respect for what Tesla has been doing and that this Billionaire is working to push more than anyone else or company the electric solution. Yes I think the CNG is a far superior middle step off pure petrol only and we will eventually get to the day when electric will offer a 500 to 1000 mile range for nice road trips, I think an investigation needs to be done into the specific people working to block a better way of buying auto's. This smells of Back Alley payments to keep the existing caste system in place. These laws go against what the Capitalist system and what democracy are all about. Like Drew, this is a Farce against the system. Let the existing dealers compete rather than cry about having someone come up with a better way to sell a product due to technology.

Input on new tires for my '08 Pontiac G6
G. David Felt replied to GMTruckGuy74's topic in Product Questions and Reviews
I have to say I am surprised by the rating on Good Years. I stay away from them. Where I get long mileage out of Bridgestone, Michelin and BF Goodrich, Good years always wear out early and are very noisy especially on cement. They just squeal like a pig to slaughter. -
I Like your thinking, that would make for some exciting small micro city cars that GM could really lead on.
-
I know of many friends in the NE that are looking at AWD to replace FWD and RWD auto's as they woud rather give up a little fuel economy for the added traction for the winters. I think GM could lead and would have a solid rate take for an AWD Camero.
-
I admit I did forget about the FWD need for their own special transmissions. I think it is an interesting thought about what you could do and the V2 could allow some interesting designs that larger motors could not offer.
