  1. I love the Idea, I agree all major autoshows should have their own folder and then by year under that. It would be great if you cloud list on each year folder the main contributors at the show so when you are looking for a specific writer filed story, just go to those by that person.
  2. Noticed on MotherTrucker, I did not have the option to upload any pictures, but other threads I get the button to click for other reply options which allows me to upload images. Figured it was a setting on that thread.
  3. Death is on their Doorstep, Someone will pick it up for a prize as Companies would rather pickup bankrupt assets than to partner up with a money burning company. My gut tell's me Death for Fisker by March. Bankrupt = Asset Sale by April or May.
  4. WOW, You could get blown to Oz in those little cars. Those are cute but truly a Coffin on wheels.
  5. Roy Rogers
  6. Wait and See, Wait and See!!!!!!!!!
  7. Come on up to Washington state and plan to drive what is considered one of the most beautiful drives in america. The North Cascade Highway. http://www.cascadeloop.com/ National Geographic has continued to vote it as one of the top 10 drives you must do in America.
  8. I love road trips and driving, no problem pulling 18hrs straight to drive to LA to go to Six flags or to visit relatives and see other sites and shows. But I know I am a dying breed as my kids want to be plugged into their electronics or sleep the whole damn time and not enjoy seeing America. The Y generation is truly lost out on what it is like to be in a freedom machine and drive the roads.
  9. I just love that engine on the cover of the GM Performance Catalog. The 502 RamJet is an amazing engine I wish was put into a Real SS Suburban!
  10. But you miss out on all the variations that are way to funny. Almost every vendor has 3-5 commercials and are running contest to pick the best one for Sunday. Without seeing them you do not know what you have missed.
  11. Interesting Jelly Bean of a car. While it tends to just blend in like all other commuter cars, I do apprecaite the Chris talked about a very important feedback. I love to drive and I want to feel what the auto is doing. If you do not know where the car is at any given point, then do not waste money on performance cars. The whole Idea is to becomeone with the machine and push the limits as long as you get proper feedback. Pass on the car, but glad it has some feedback via the wheel.
  12. So companies this week have been rolling out the commercials leading up to SuperBowl Sunday. Have you watched any yet and have a favorite? http://tv.yahoo.com/news/how-will-audi-s-super-bowl-commercial-end--you-decide--181755230.html;_ylt=AhC9VB5XUIFJWztrjZN_WcuOJvJ_;_ylu=X3oDMTNvNXFsY2w3BG1pdAMEcGtnAzNiZTg3ZGFmLWFjMDEtMzdjYS1hMTZlLWExYTYwNmVkZjViMQRwb3MDMwRzZWMDTWVkaWFCQ2Fyb3VzZWxNaXhlZExQQ0EEdmVyA2Q0NTk4YmMyLTZhMzctMTFlMi1iYmZjLTUxNWE4ZjNmYWZmYw--;_ylv=3 Yahoo has a section that allows you to start watching, so far I have to say that VW commercials are a dud. Reggie and Be Happy are not going to sell me a car. On the other Hand I have only watched 1 of the Audi commercials and it was the Prom one which I loved. Sound off on what commercials are making you laugh and which ones do you love? Will GM be able to top themselves with Dave having lost his life because he drove a Ford? So please post which is your over all favorite commercial and which is your favorite Auto Commercial!
  13. See even he knows there is no need to go over to the dark side. Stay with the Light Fae and you will always win.
  14. WOW, Maxima their sport sedan has gone CVT? That is just sad. But will give it a try when the opportunity comes my way.
  15. wow talk about Mr. Negative. are you one of those lousy Ford sucking Succubus trolls?
  16. Intersting read from Car and Driver on the new trucks: http://www.caranddriver.com/news/2014-chevrolet-silverado-gmc-sierra-spy-photos-future-cars Here is a report with spy shots on what they call the Ford Ranger replacement and GM's Mini truck with photo's. The Ford does look smaller than the GM truck. http://www.fordpartsbans.com/blog/2010/05/spy-shots-next-gen-ford-ranger-and-chevy-colorado-replacements-spotted-in-the-u-s-but-where-will-they-end-up/
  17. Having owned a Dakota for 12yr's before giving it to the wifes side of the family as a member needed something that was dependable since I take care of my auto's with all the scheduled maintenance it still goes and for larger folks like me, While my first truck was a Luv Series 5 1976 that I still wish I had, it was small and truly a 2 person only short drive truck. Yet the Dakota could get 3 snug and you could go on long trips. It was a nice truck and I think many people liked them as my sister bought a crew cab version of the dakota before they stopped making them and loves it as it is not as big as a full size, but bigger than all the small trucks. Great trucks, not distractions at all. Yet in todays day of high fuel costs, I can see the need as there has always been a need for small trucks. Who ever brings in the mini truck again will win with innter city folks who want a truck and for suburban folks who would like a 1/2ton or stiff 1 ton mini to haul the occasional weekend house project.
  18. Wonder if GM thinks they could do a Dodge and have the mid and full size trucks like the Dakota and Ram? Course having everything Heavy Duty to take advantage of loop holes will just be a silly small step as they will end up shutting it down eventually and too many people have no clue on how to drive a large truck let alone a mid size auto. It amazes me how much body damage I see on small commuter cars from people that cannot seem to gauge space and size around them.
  19. CVT is like classical music. Some you love some you hate and some just leave ya Blah! I really do see the Engineering aspect of CVT, but there is passion missing in them all. I have driven some rentals that drove fine, some that drove like nothing was under the hood and I could have run faster and some that had engine and just seemed to rev. I find CVT auto's to be souless commuter cars that suck the life out of you like a Prius. I will pass on them at this stage, I would rather have a GM 4 spd over a CVT.
  20. Deal and you get all the Men!
  21. WOW , that is monsterous. Very Cool!
  22. Hey Camino, Found that if you put your vin in at www.gmpartgiant.com they do give you the complete list of parts for the doors rear and the contacts are available. 050 **693450 CONTACT,DR LK HARN(4 PIN CONTACT)(R/D RH SI) CK1,2(06-16)(AU3,ZW9) 92-95 01 $18.28 $12.90 * 051 **693402 CONTACT,DR LK HARN(BODY RH SI)(5 PLUNGER SWITCH) CK1,2(06-16)(AU3,ZW9) 92-95 01 $54.40 $38.38 * 091 **693403 CONTACT,R/WDO DEFG HARN(USED ON BODY LH SIDE) CK1,2(06-16)(C49,ZW9) 92-95 01 $23.35 $17.34 * 090 **693451 CONTACT,R/WDO DEFG HARN(USED ON RR DR LH SIDE) CK1,2(06-16)(ZW9) 92-95 01 -- -- Now mine being a 94 suburban has both sides with contacts, but as we know most parts from 93-99 fit on all the Full Size SUV's. Good Luck.
  23. Here is what GM shows for the Back Door Electrical connections and yes, as they wear out, they will cause electrical disruptions. Order a Cargo Door Contactor and door Jam Switch. JC Whitney has two or 4 node universal contact switches http://www.jcwhitney.com/painless-universal-door-jamb-switch/p3065031.jcwx?skuId=2929427&filterid=c2789d50267y1993g183u0j1
  24. Interesting observation, I wonder if it would hold up if one poled woman and looked at the sales to see what woman were buying in comparison to men. GM would be wise to check this out to make sure they continue to have product that pulls from both sides and sells well.
  25. Welcome to C & G, Great group of guys with passion for all types of Auto's. Nice little Mazda. Love what you did with the Beretta, yea they were not the best built, but I still love the looke especially of the GTU. The work you did really makes it look sharp. Pontiac were sweet for their time and we all have a special place in our heart for those cars. Welcome again, will look forward to your posts and getting to know you and debating with you about the auto world.
