LOL - You really have been drinking the APPLE KOOLAID. The proof is in the sales that Android / Samsung make better and sell more phones. Personal opinion on the look and feel as the Apple has always felt like they cut corners compared to Samsung phones but again a personal feeling compared to you feeling the opposite. In regards to the whole ITunes thing, their approach is to make things simple but they went to far to make them none usable to many people myself included as I find their interface to be non intuitive and iTunes to me just sucks. Much easier for how I use my Samsung phone. The Phablet is not for everyone but for those of us that are big, 6'6"tall with big hands, the Samsung is small and perfect. I hate how small phones are and that the touch screens are usless when typing as I hit multiple keys. Apple iPhones are the worst as typing on them is just garbage but again I am probably twice your size at 6'6" tall 300lgs. 15% body fat. I love the bigger phones that meet my needs. Something Apple does not do.

GM News: Revealed! Your 2015 GM Full Size SUV Lineup
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in General Motors
Chevy interior is nice, but the nose on the Chevy's is just ugly to me. I do not like the headlights and the over all nose is just a turn off. GMC is the winner this time. Elegant, Butch, Manly, the over all style goes with the product line. Have a Terrain vibe that I just dig. Last evolution Chevy won hands down, but this time the Girly Yukon is gone and in it's place is a mans man SUV. GMC seems to have given this a Semi truck type look that is just awesome! Be it Denali or lower level this is a hands down winner. One concern I do have is that the interior on both looks like the center console has gotten fatter cutting into leg room and comfort. The seats from the photo's look narrow. I really hope not but they do. -
I just replaced my 6 year old DELL. Wish I could have gotten another one, but DELL lost out on SPEC and PRICE to Lenovo. I now have a nice shiny W530 with i7 vPro and 16gb ram. Dual 27" monitors on the docking station. Dual SSD drives. runs fast and is just solid. Very happy with it. I agree that DELL or Lenovo you cannot go wrong.

LOL, Apple Iphone 5S still has not caught up to the Samsung S4. Android is just eating Apples lunch. Love it.

Buick News: Opel Adam Could Be Coming To U.S. As A Buick
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Buick
AWESOME!!!! I wonder if our story and images on the awesome little monster played any part. I hope so as what Drew had done was very cool indeed. -
Sounds Like Toyota's Version of Pontiac/Saturn. Just kill it off and move on. It was a failure.
-
That green monstrosity looks just like a Ford Connect. Ignorant question, but does it come from the same factory? To me it sounds like they are too late to the party. So many others have already started production, I just do not see that big of a commercial market for everyone.

Awesome write up. Very enjoyable reading. I have to say that I like that this car does not have that freakin big ugly black smiling mouth, yet the over all style is bland and to me very uninspiring. The interior is just terrible with the bland dash, Pimple on the center of the steering wheel and then the white type seats that will show all the dirt in the world. Just a terrible job. What is up with everyone thinking the world wants 4 door Coupe style sedans? No headroom and clearly not much room period for big people like me. I suspect this will fit me like my sisters Mazda 6 which means I will not be comfortable in it and could not go on road trips. Looks like they used 5'8" as the average size to build the car for again. One thing noticed is that the fit and finish based on the pictures does look good. I did not find anything out of alignment or to big or small of a gap. Really consistent.

Saw a brand new 500L on the highway, just came from the dealership. Actually not bad looking considering that I hate the ugly little two door. The 4 door 500L actually look good and usable and not like Shrek squished the top of the car or that a light wind would blow it over. The best looking of the 500 family yet.

I feel that charter schools and all these alternatives other than out right Private for profit schools are part of the problem, not the fix. Having graduated from public schools and pushed myself hard in the Computer Industry, yes I have enjoyed a great career and am still working tonight so that proves that 16hr-18hr days are not uncommon, but the flexibility is great. Public schools fail due to two large issues: Union Corruption and manipulation Parental lack of drive to drive their kids. My mom was always home till I went to college and then she joined the work force. She was there to make sure my sisters and I got our homework done, did our projects and did the best we could do. Today to many households are caught up in the jones jones race of having all the toys and careers and ignoring their kids to daycare and others. Parenting is a minimum of 20yr commitment to make sure your kids get off on the right foot and at times it means punishing your self to enforce punishing your kids when they do wrong and stay on the road to success. You cannot ignore not being involved in your kids lives.

Excellent Read, still our teachers are underpaid for preparing and training the future workers of America. It seems most states want to use a general fund rather than actual department funds. Money that was supposed to go to schools or to roads go into the general fund and then get spent on other things. We need to put in place term limits, reduce the socializing of making people dependent on a gov hand out and properly compensate those that train the future work force of America. If we can start a computer Engineer at $75K a year, why do teachers have to start at $35K? Go to year round schooling with 3 months on, 1 month off so that kids remember their education better.

Cadillac News: Cadillac Readies A New Ad Campaign
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Cadillac
EXCITEMENT!!! I am glad they are looking to have a coherent marketing message. Be interesting to see what comes out of this effort. -
Great Review for your first one. Nice pic's, Love your Dusty image of the car, that was well done. Question how do you feel it compares to the VW choices? What would be your top 3 must improve items? What would make it better for the around town short trip auto?

We'll I guess it only took time for MB AMG to Ricerize their ugly mug car. Still bland to look at and the paint job is hideous. I thought those big arse wings of top fuel drag racing went out long ago.

Washington state is all about the rear sticker only allowed in the upper right hand corner of the plate.

G. David Felt Staff Writer Alternative Energy - CheersandGears.com Racing Hybrid or Not? The question of the day would make one wonder if I was nuts. Can hybrids be the new Racing formula? We have plenty of new hybrids on the market to show that nothing is off limits, but does it really make sense and in AWD form to boot? Toyota is prepped, locked and loaded to show off at the Frankfurt motor show the Yaris Hybrid-R. This three door Yaris comes packed with a 1.6L turbo four-cylinder driving the front wheels and a 60hp electric motor on the rear wheels. Yet the engineers did not stop there as they added a third electric motor between the six-speed transmission and engine. This allows it to act as an advanced traction control that shifts power to the rear wheels when the front wheels cannot handle any more. The total system peaks at 414hp. One new aspect to hybrid is the lack of a traditional battery. In the place of the battery according to Toyota information it is using a SuperCapacitor. This allows for faster discharge of the power to the rear electric motors including a burst mode for five second boosts of full energy. While Toyota is a popular car company, they have not been known as a muscle car or performance car company and it would appear that this Yaris Hybrid-R is an attempt to change the youth and performance driven drivers. So with this concept car, the Question to be asked is, Hybrid Sports cars the future or not? Source - Toyota web site and multiple news outlets. Images from Bing search.

The exterior is just plain ugly. Predators ugly baby. The interior is just plain blah. Did anyone actually try to have style or even to have some decent design language? I would fire the person who created this monstrosity.

I have to say that I am very taken with this car. Clearly is a driving machine.

Shocking that you can get an Abarth with Scissor doors. http://www.fiatofkirkland.com/2013-FIAT-500-Abarth-Kirkland-WA/vd/12634394 More shocking is this ugly little turd has a $31,600 loaded price. http://www.fiatofkirkland.com/2013-FIAT-500c-Abarth-Kirkland-WA/vd/14888766 There are such better cars out there for the money, why waste it on these little things.

Local Fiat dealer Fiat of Kirkland http://www.fiatofkirkland.com/ has tons on the lot and are doing a end of summer blow out sale to try and get them moving. They just do not sell. 149 in stock according to the web site but across the street from them is their holding pen on a vacant lot and this morning I counted over 100 there alone. I suspect they have closer to 200+ in stock and a truck was waiting to unload more. Fiat 500 = failure in the Pacific Northwest.
