  1. Amazing how people can still break Big Iron.
  2. This makes one wonder what will it take for the Politicians and the public to finally say enough is enough and not only disband the TSA, but then save the tax payers a ton of money by having a required list of security checks but hold each airport accountable to doing the security screening. I know this will cause increases in prices at some of the smaller airports but should not affect the larger airports. I personally am one to have the airlines handle this. You want to go on Alaska, fine, you go through an alaska security check point. Same with AA or United, these airlines should handle this and I think we would see more common sense. Thoughts?
  3. These pictures have me thinking, it would be nice to take each car company and list all the names they have used on Auto's that are not being used today and then have some of the talented drawers create new versions of selected name plates. A perfect example, if it was not a rebadge job and had survived, what would a modern day Comet look like? Modern Day Chevy Luv, Modern day Pinto????? It would be interesting to see what people think these auto's should look like as well as see what interesting names come up.
  4. Very Cool, I will be interested to know if the fit and finish has gotten any better since I drove one as a rental from Newark to Princton for a month when I was there on business. How is the get up and go of the engine, give us a list of what is on this AWD CUV. Look forward to hearing about it from you.
  5. History Trivia is always a good contest, such as the top 5 most popular engines for Caddilac or have them list the concept auto for a given century. I wonder how many people would remember the concepts of the 80's that GM or Ford put out. You could also do a Internet Scavaner Hunt for specific items with the requirement that they submit to an email their list of where they found each item. Most accurate would win. I would tend to talor the contests to focus on the prizes you have, such as for the Jeep First Aid Kit, have them list in proper order the wrangler model from 1970 to present. For the Escalade RC, pull into the history of the product line or maybe quize on what packages (various add on groups, IE luxury pkg, entertainment pkg, etc.) have been offered on the escalade since it's begining and what year was the official first Escalade. Hope this helps,
  6. My question to Ocnblu is how is the interior holding up? The controls, fit finish and has yours started to show any rattles or noises during normal driving?
  7. They're doing okay. In March, Model S was the best-selling car in its class, outselling large sedans like the S-Class, 7-series, A8, XJ, and LS; four-door coupes like the CLS, 6er, A7, and Panamera; as well as cheaper midsize sedans like the A6, XF, GS, and M. It's also the best-selling electric vehicle YTD, beating Volt and LEAF. Tesla is delivering 500+ a week now. Are those actual deliveries or to resellers/dealerships?
  8. WOW, These butt ugly Scuba Masked cars are still on the road????? I am shocked, I thought they all died off about 20yrs ago.
  9. Great Idea, Poor execution on the Price. I do think there is a profit grab here and when sales do not materialize, they will say, "See the US does not like Diesels!" But that is not true, we just do not like being ripped off. Great Idea, outlandish Price, equals DEAD ON ARRIVAL!
  10. This is a ugly mess that will cause more damage than good and except for the upper 10%, I do not see people doing this unless they are that stupid for wanting to drive one of these auto's.
  11. Speculation, but I think they better have best in class the following 3 engines at least. Turbo 4 banger DI V6 Duramax Diesel 2.9L All should have at least a 6 speed tranny if not an 8 speed.
  12. The caddy is lovely along with all the rest.
  13. I will put the Trailblazer SS AWD in this bucket that finding low mileage in good shape one will be hard to find. While I keep mine in mint condition, I do enjoy driving it and while it is a 2008, it has only 42K miles on it, but with the wife driving it daily now, I expect it to rack up the miles. Fun auto's should be driven. IMHO.
  14. So here is a wrecked Ute for sale with the Chevy Bow Tie on it. Amazing that on the back of the Truck, they have the Cadillac V logo
  15. Bad News: Another woman comes forward claiming your the father of her tripplets.
  16. Let me quote myself to add another bit of complaining... No manuals to be seen anywhere... The V Sport should definitely have one available. But can the R&D cost be justified for such a small market and the fact that manuals cannot seem to survive high performance engines. In this case I am talking the traditional manual, I can see a manualmatic style being V capable, but unless I am missing something even at drag races now the manual is a thing of the past and cannot keep up with the power of a modern engine.
  17. Agreed, this is what will piss off potential customers faster than not. Crippleware is a black Eye on any product sold.
  18. This from a guy who's manliness is so fragile, it can be shattered by a tiny Eco badge on the trunk of a Cruze. You guys crack me up! H'mmmmm I was totally stumped by the Twink comment and had to bing it. You really think the jelly bean style of code 130RS is more a man car compared to the sharper edge Tru? Remember the basic law of the automotive world, FWD=weak, RWD=manly. What do I get for AWD?????
  19. Agreed, a Diesel version or even a CNG version would have really set things on fire. I think either one would have been well received.
  20. No matter what, some of these bad boys will end up in a Barn Find 20 years from now.
  21. I wonder if Fiat is doing this to get concessions from the over powered Unions.
  22. I have a pair of those old Toe Nail Clippers, they work great and mine need to be cleaned up as they are not as shinny as yours are. Cool stuff.
