Dart SRT would totally Rock. The Neon SRT proved you did not need AWD to compete with the STI or any other Pocket Rocket. Rock on DART SRT! What about the small Chevy SS that was Supercharged and then Turbo Charged. I forgot the name, but it was a fun little compact.

This is News?

Very nice for a 107,000 + miles jeep. Not a bad job for a repaint/clean up. Cheers

A Vehicle best left in the history books.

Go for it Lamar, you can never go wrong with an SRT8 wagon. That is freakin hot looking.

Nice ideas.

Hoping the best for him.

It's a truck for camping and work, not a caddy and besides, the amount of rust on the engine makes me suspect about the miles. I get my built in caution detector going off on this ride.

That is very cool, I would for sure hold onto those books.

Nothing says Beauty like a GMC Suburban!!!

Happy B-Day folks

A sweet ride from the golden age.

Love the Purple, Freakin sweet man. This is the Ultimate Slurpie Mobile. Skeleton motif is rockin also. I could so see this in a Rock Video!

Your statement is a matter of opinion and for me your wrong as the interiors are a mess and uncomfortable on top of a poor reliability. A director had one of the supercharged models and after 3 months with it spending 50% of the time in the shop he traded it in for a AMG SUV as he does not believe Americans can build anything reliable, yet my 2006 Escalade ESV Platinum edition has 100K miles, uses no oil, still gets 14.5mpg and is quite, comfy and smells like new. I have not seen 6 year old Range Rovers that still look like new, smell like new even after only a 2 year lease. Seems lots of people here in seattle lease them but turn them in ahead of time. Not a reliable suv and there is only 1 dealership left that I know of. They might have some nice shapes in certain models, but I take an american Full Size luxury SUV over RR any day.

This I think will be the start of bland reduced performance auto's as Subaru gets consumed by Toyota. Or this is a wake up to Toyota that finally realizes that dull bland cars are only for a small select group of bland dull humans. The rest desire variety and stimulus provoking rides. Think of an STI running 130 octane CNG.

Now with this report out, Hyundia and Kia can plan to make sure they keep selling to some hot looking models. Even though I think they are freakin ugly.

Yea, I will keep my escalade over this box on wheels. Now I would like to have the reliability I have in my escalade but drop weight by 1000lbs. That would sure help my gas mileage.

Never! Gentlemen, we can rebuild him... True if money is no object.

They are planning on disabling large swaths of the cellular network AND people's private WIFI in Chicago when the NATO conference comes to town next week. They can try but there will still be ways to get around it for engineers like us who know how. And that is the slippery slope my friend. Sure black-boxes could be defeated, sure data can be hacked, but then you are doing it illegally, which means you are revolting against the better good the government is providing you by providing you security. The Gov never has your security in mind. There is always select groups that believe their agenda is more important than your freedom. Hitler thought he knew better as to what is best for the germans and we ended up with genocide. Black Box's are NOT there for your benefit, it is for an alternative agenda the gov has to control your life. While many advances such as stability control clearly helps drivers, I have to challange that all technology is truly beneficial to society. Computers are still not as fast as the human mind and a computer cannot and is not aware of what is going on around you at the time you are driving. The Black box is just a horse with blinders on that will never truly show the whole picture and I for one refuse to have some nany device telling me how or what to do. Black Box's are a step towards reducing your freedom in an auto and for everyone here who feels it is not clearly is happy to be a lemming and follow the pied piper off the cliff. Sacrifice your freedom of choice and have people / companies or GOV/Business/Insurance companies define what/where and when you can do something and you have lost your freedom.

The tanks can be retested? How much does that cost and where can it be done? The cost of expiring/expired tanks is so low that I thought retesting was not available... only replacement. How long did station refilling take, compared to gasoline? So if you look above I do cover the fueling times per type of home/business fueling stations. From .5GGE per hour to 3.5GGE per hour. Now except for the base level on your garage wall fueling system PHILL, all others can have holding tanks. This allows Instant fueing at home just like a CNG or Petrol Fuel Station which is instant. CNG and Petrol take about the same amount of time for filling. Just need to have the CNG Holding tank to hold the compressed NG. In regards to retesting, you will have to check for your local state, I am not sure if all states allow retesting or not. West coast does seem to do this as in washington you can go to a certified CNG shop and get your tanks retested and certified again. One thing that is becoming more popular is that with new tank construction, people are going away from the traditional large circle tank to ones that fit up in the frames more custome being built of multiple smaller tanks to take advantage of the fram layout. GM did this with their Commercial CNG Vans and get much large CNG holding capacity due to using multiple various size tanks to fill a rectangular area. I am only guessing now, but I suspect as more types of materials get approved to hold CNG, we will see better advances in tank design. Not much different than Petrol tanks.

Yes that is one of the things I am working on building is ROI for the various cars with the various Fueling Stations and estimated electrical cost. This way people can compare. With the US having such large reserves, if we could only get people to move over to CNG we could truly stop the outflow of money for oil to terrorist counteries. I'm not sure our Canadian members would appreciate you calling them terrorists.... True, sorry Canada, I forgot to exclude you from the oil terrorist of the world. Course if they get their pipeline to the gulf and then ship it over seas to higher prices, then the US is screwed again. Right now we should build the refineries by the border and then truck the finished product around the NE & NW corners. Maybe we should put all the speculators in that group too.

Thanks, great site and welcome to the forum.
