  1. Can we get a PUMP BABY PUMP????? After all, Natural Gas is way cheaper, cleaner and except for making sure the supply has a good filtration so it is dry and any other natural contaminants from under ground are removed it would be a money maker with far easier delivery than petrol. Just think of all the semi's you can take off the road when you are not having to deliver petrol as the gas lines just go right to the fast fill stations and then you have home users who do time fill.
  2. Is this the dealer who came back with this or you actually talking to GM customer service? I would challenge GM on this, the gift card for service is stupid.
  3. Now settle down, children. Well, I would like to set about changing that fact soon and I don't see a better way of doing that without buying some sort of beater or light project car. Like I said, I don't feel comfortable working on the Astra aside from doing an oil or maybe a spark plug change simply because it's a little too complex for my liking at this point and parts are far from plentiful and cheap. As for my personal schedule, I'm in class three days a week and I typically only work three or four days a week for anywhere between 4 to 8 hours. Indeed, I stay busy and, sure, I don't feel like doing much when I'm running my entire action-packed day on three hours of sleep, but I know I could still somehow manage to work out setting aside some time to devote to a new hobby or project or learning a new skill. That Rocks! Learning to fix your own auto will save you ton's down the road.
  4. Interesting enough is that while Ford does sell a bit more trucks than GM in Washington state, according to the DOT web site, it seems there is far more older GM's on the road than Fords. Tends to make you think about who really has the most dependable longest lasting trucks.
  5. So my dad sent me an email that I loved but found it hard to swallow that someone would sell off a sealed barn full of auto's for pennies and not look to see what was in it first. Yet here is an amazing barn find. http://www.intuh.net/barnfinds/ Here is the research done to get a better grab on the story, but I have to say I would love some of these old cars. http://www.sportscarmarket.com/columns-blogs/news/2709-portuguese-barn-find-fact-or-fiction What is your Favorite? This sealed Barn has 180 cars in it.
  6. Very true, the ease of doing tune ups and basic maintenance is rock on with this line as it really does allow one to have a beater that just keeps on beating.
  7. Happy B Day to you Olds
  8. They need to do this badly...Ford is picking up huge media hype with the new Folcus ST, GM already has a high performance version of the Astra that's faster and a better car...they should bring the Astra Coupe in as a Buick, and do a small RWD Chevy, I think. They are giving up image and market share.... I totally agree, the car gods need to be listening. Better yet bring them in with CNG and let that 130 octane fuel really make them roar!
  9. This will be sweet in the Encore.
  10. Blah, if this country would endorse CNG we could have great auto's running on cheap gas. Bloody conspiracy.
  11. This ugly dog is getting an extension due to the way Japan companies do business. The Kariitsu's tend to plan business for 12-18 months out. So this is to allow what has been promised to the subcontracting suppliers time to find other work. This dog should have been put down long ago.
  12. This is not a surprise with the world economic crises I doubt even the rich are willing to pony up crazy amounts for weird luxo SUV's.
  13. Very cool images, I am actually excited for this car.
  14. Thanks all, I thought they were pretty cool pictures, so after some more research the 2nd car is a 68 Mercury Cyclone GT 500 did not realize they built this but a very cool car.
  15. The dealer did the right thing, too bad the morons in service already caused such a black eye. I wonder if this guy will move on to some other company due to this experiance.
  16. wishing you the best, I think GM will make it right as they have on my few issues I ran into so far.
  17. Anyone identify what this truck is? Can you Identify this car? Can you Identify this car? How about this weird little number?
  18. I think you are correct. This is not a car for many here but if you look at the market it is fresh for a vehicle like this. I do not see it for just 40-50's but even younger women who are tired of paying $80 or more to fill up their larger SUV's, This vehicle also give those who do not want to pay $40K or more a chance to own a car that presents many luxury features. I bet many in California right now with $5+ gas would love to have one right now. For California right now, people would buy this by the thousands if it was CNG and included a Fuelmaker Phill or FMQ 2-36 unit for home fueling as Natural gas on the average of $1 is awesome compared to the current $5+ price right now.
  19. But what if someone needs to be put to sleep 6' under????? Would you consider her then? She did mention she is very good at putting kids to sleep!
  20. We need to throw idiots like this under the bus. I hope someone remembers to pull this up and roast this moron who is anything but a journalist when this BS proves to be totally false. Sounds like a conservative who did not get his GOP approved TARP bailout so they are doing everything they can to stir up BS against those that actually did some good.
  21. Yea the amount of mashed Chargers was a small drop in the bucket. Daisy in her Daisy Duke Shorts, long locks and killer smile. :P
  22. Sorry you had to give up your guitar, but glad you got your car fixed and now have reliable transportation. Rock on
  23. One thing I just noticed in reviewing the pictures again, the interior of what I assume is the 600H seems to isolate the 4 individuals from each other. There is no way for people to snuggle in the back or have the spouse slide over to sit next to their mate. This is one of the sad losses with the Government over site of telling you what you have to have on an auto and all belted up for safety, we have lost that ability to be close to others in our auto's.
  24. Great Read, nice write up on the auto line. I have to say I think the interior is very bland and weird and the exterior front end scream Predator ugly. Their car line is just pathetic.I do not see what is so appealing about the Lexus lineup. Considering that most people I know who drive Lexus is very religous and conservative, is it that mind set that keeps this line going even when it is so blah? I just do not get it, why is Toyota building such a blah product?
