Thank you, That is my house originally built 1952. I gutted the inside down to the studes and redid everything, new copper plumbing, new electrical, panel, insulated even between the upstairs and down stairs and used 1" sheetrock so the house is almost sound proof. Ran plenum tubbing through out all going back to a core punch down block and then connects to my core switch and out the Fios modem in the Garage. Cat6e cabled, all shielded even electrical and the Roof is a 100yr roof with Ridge vent. Over all stays warm in the winter, cool in the summer and very little natural gas cost. Heat, water tank, dryer and stove all Natural gas. Plus my driveway can hold 9 suburbans with no problem.

Yes for sure on the color scheme and treatments but also some of the interior walls could be better done with reconfiguration. My use and tastes tend to go for more great room concept where you can have plenty of frends and family to have over and this home shows the very old small room style that just kills being able to do anything with large families.

Not True at all, the local GM dealership in the Seattle area are already selling these to the public. This is great for the fleets. FYI, They are using a type 3 CNG can for holding as to why the big tool box. World CNG who is a licensened IMPCO conversion company does this all the time but uses the more costly Type 4 Carbon Fiber tanks that actually go under the truck giving you the full bed, but at a reduced holding capacity. Fleets wanted maximum travel and so got a tank that give them 300 miles on CNG and 355 miles on Petro. Petro tank still bigger, but the combined 655 miles range is hard to beat. These trucks rock and this is the right step to get America off imported oil.

Fisker does make nice Luxury Golf Carts!

But at the right cheap price, you could gut it, clean it and put in the engine, electrical and inside you desire and have a killer auto. What does Olds mean by Dont Troll?????

I think it's basically because GM doesn't want to do it; there appears to be no long-term drive except to cater to the ATS/CTS/Escalade crowd... It's a management option to go the way they've gone at it for the last 10 years, but an option without any major opportunity for the Cadillac brand to really restablish itself as a world-class reference. The fact is till they get the ATS and CTS best in class why would anyone pony up big money on a LTS? BMW was built pretty much from the 3 series up. They earned a rep on the lower priced cars and then expeanded it and moved the customers up that could afford it. Today Cadillac has the ATS almost there with only a need for some better engines. The new CTS also should prove to be class leading or right at that point. Once the public gets a good feel for these cars the LTS will be ready to be set upon the market. People will risk $40K on an ATS to see how they like it but few will risk $70-100K on a LTS only to find it not of their liking. Please them with the ATS and CTS beyond the others in the market and they will be willing to take the plung on the LTS. The key though is it much not just be a expensive and more expensive Super Sport sedan. I would agree with this, have GM spending money on building the worlds best ATS/CTS/SRX/Escalade in all versions. 4dr, 2dr, convertible, etc. In 3-5 years you can build an LTS.

Reason to go Fuel Injected.

Found a comment that the Engine and tranny went into a 78 T/A. Any new pictures or video on this and is it the truth?

Come on Puke it up if you know what else is going on with the car.

Your right, GM's version of a ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOM car that actually beats Mazda.

Ugly little puke! But then as an AWD appliance it gets the job done so for the price, one cannot go wrong.

Here is my house, I just had a new driveway put in. Been updating the house for the last 10 years and all that is left to do is finish the laundry room. 1600 Square foot house, 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, 1 office, living room, family room, quarter acre lot. Driveway is 40 feet wide by 65 feet long and that is not including the side slab. I love it, all oak and modern inside. Drive way can support Semi's, I had them use commercial grade rebar in 1 foot square connections points 6" thick. As my parents say, overkill but then I will never have to worry about it wearing out in my life time.

Yet the house on this thread is gastly and needs to be gutted and updated with a proper inside and color scheme. Otherwise, replace it with something better. Modern can transend time if done properly. ^ This is my house... Very nice, now this house unlike the one at the start of this thread shows to me quality and character and I admit I have not even seen the inside yet. Some houses just say old and that is what the house at the start of the thread says to me.

You know I have it scheduled tomorrow. Vogue 19" tires. Chrome stick on trim and trunk luggage rack. NOT. :rofl:

ghastly, sterile, character free, mcmansions! Too funny, but guess depending on where you grow up, history is for the history books and the NorthWest tends to go modern and new.

wow that is an amazing sad end to an awesome car. Talk about rusting out big time.

+1 :rofl:

Yes with the Genie out of the bottle, you had to figure they have a few billion set aside to pay for this. Now is the time for lawyers to make a killing in fees. One does have to wonder how this will affect both companies over the short term and long term. Could one of these companies go away or at least get greatly reduced in size?

I agree that he is a legend to have saved all this history.

Where??????

feather dusters

LOL, This reminds me of the movie The Last Chase 1981. The cop cars were all electric, people could not go on road trips any longer and you were forced by the totalitarian central government to only live the dictated way. Race to Freedom California for free driving. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082642/maindetails In a future United States, the only transport available to an individual is public transportation. Predicated on an assertion that "the oil has run out", an increasingly totalitarian central government has ordered all personal vehicles be impounded by law. One man, a former race car driver, yearns again for his ability to choose his own roads and destiny. He reassembles his race car hidden from confiscation, and sets out for "Free California" which has broken away from the new regime, aided by a young technically savvy teen who feels alienated from this "social" society. Agents of the new government must stop this man at any cost to destroy the symbology he represents, and the instability that such a desire for personal autonomy could mean to the society. An old Korean War veteran and his F-86 Sabre jet are called into service to chase down this dangerous man... Written by AGC

That is what you call the Rocky Mountains to a Ricered Ride that has been lowered to Cig pack height.

Remember, we no longer have French Fries, they are Freedom Fries. So that would not be a Vrench Curve but a Freedom Curve which means only american metal!
