Lamborghini Estoque Concept: I'm Not Dead Yet!
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Volkswagen
Got ya, now I understand. Never watched the Monty Python shows, so was not aware that was from that. So many people seem to have had health issues in the last year, I thought you had gotten sick or something. Thank you for the explanation, Have a great week. -
Crazy Pictures of Over Stocked Autos & Auctioned Ferrari
G. David Felt replied to G. David Felt's topic in The Lounge
I would love to have one of the abondoned cars from Dubai. I would take that Dark Blue Jag. I know it does not handle that great and is pretty much just straight line speed, but it is a beauty. -
I would suggest you do the floor in DM and see how you like the sound, if you feel you need more insulation, then do the firewall and doors. Think of the insulationin phases. I have not found anything to equal even 75% of DM insulation properties and trust me, like you I wish money was no object as the Suburban was freakin huge to due the whole floor. Good Luck Balthazar,

Cadillac News: Spying: Cadillac CTS, Now On The Streets
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Cadillac
I would have to say as a CTS owner, the pricing is competitive and the Quality is better than BMW. I compare my friends M3 to the V and I have to say I like what GM has built. I think his seats are too hard for a big guy like me and yet he thinks the seats in the V are too soft. You will not be able to please everyone, but I do think GM hit the head with the CTS series and I believe they will continue to improve it. -
Review: 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ Crew Cab
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Reviews
Nice review Mud, One question for you, for a six year old truck and one coming from the old to new GM days. How is the over all fit and finish on this truck in comparison to other more updated trucks? -
Hello Chuck, welcome back. Yes old accounts are history as anyone here in the past still had to create a new account. C&G has gone through many changes, but has always gotten better and better. You will find an amazing group of individuals here. Again, welcome back we look forward to your input.

That would be great except for two things: where are the CNG stations if you lack the land to have a home fueling station AND how much is it to convert cars from gasoline to CNG? You do not need land for a home fueling station. The over all size of a Home CNG Fueling station fits on the wall next to the gas line and you pull the hose to your car and fill it. Conversions can run from 500 to 5000 depending on the type of vehicle.

Let's not forget all their mini subcompacts overseas. I think some day we will see some of those little cars here so I do agree, Scion is redundant.

Good for you, getting better and walking is an awesome way back to sound health! -
I will say while it is pricey, Dyna-Mat is freakin amazing. My overbuilt (according to the wife) suburban has racing headers and straight 3 inch exhuast back to exhuas tips. It did have a loud Humm till I did the floor in DynaMat and boom all the noise was pretty much gone. My wife is mucho Happy. I know it costs, but it is worth the price.

So I have been spending some time looking at CNG Fueling stations. I was going to bring this up on the thread I remeber on this site about anouncing that GM was starting to sell CNG trucks/suv's or something to that line. So currently here in Washington, NG is at $2 per Thousand Cubic feet. So what would the ROI be on changing over? Your looking at about 500-1000 for a cng conversion kit for your auto and about $5000 for a home fueling kit. The current thought is this make the best sense for America to kick the Oil Habit, we need a stepping stone to the eventual holy grail of Pure Electric. Since the US has the 2nd largest reserves of NG in the world and most people have NG at their house, it would tend to make sense for people to install a CNG home fueling system and if they do not want to deal with fueling overnight, get a holding tank so it can fill up the tank with CNG and this would give you a fast typical 3-5 min fueling time. Here is a site that breaks down details at the time of CNG ROI based on January 2011. http://www.mudomaha.com/naturalgas/pdfs/cng.faq.pdf One thing is the crazy high cost of a conversion kit as I have found them much cheaper than stated here. Also the stated cost of a $1.78 per gallon. The same gallon of CNG give the same as a gallon of gas. if you drive 12000 miles a year at $4 a gallon at an average MPG of 25 you use 480 gallons of gas at $1920 fuel bill yearly. 12000 miles a year at $1.78 per CNG gallon (local CNG Pump) at 25MPG using 480 gallons of CNG equals $854.40 per fuel bill for the year. 12000 miles a year at .86 per CNG gallon (home) at 25MPG using 480 gallons of CNG equals $412.80 per fuel bill for the year. With a average additional cost of $5K for the vehicle and about $5K for the Fueling system at home does it make sense for you to conver over? If you go with CNG but no home fueling station, you end up with about 4 1/2 years for ROI. If you go with CNG and Home Fueling station you end up with about 6 1/2 years for ROI. So DOES it make sense to convert or change your vehicles over to driving CNG for you????? http://www.cngprices.com/index.php CURRENT CAR LIST Honda Civc GX (factory CNG) Chevy Impala (2010) Chevy Silverado (2010-2012, 5.3 or 6L) Chevy Savana (2010) Ford Transit Connect (2010-2012) Ford Crown Victoria (2010-1011) Ford F150 (2010-2012) Ford F250/350 (2011-2012) Ford E450 (2011-2012) Ford Escape (2011-2012) Izusu NPR (2012)

Thanks Ocnblu, I had not seen this and so emailed my son to check them out. I like his latitude package he got but I know he wants the rims black so this might be a good way to go or find a local powder coater to do his rims. Thanks again guys,
