Industry News: Senate Passes Mandatory Black Boxes In Vehicles By 2015, House Expected To Follow
How can you call this Paranoia. A box that records your everything that ges on in the car and then a crazy bitch or buch who gets a lawyer and then uses this to try and make a point or insurance companies who say drive our way or we charge you ten times the rate or refuse to insure you, etc. The list is long but this is not paranoia especially when both gov and companies have always proved to use things to increase their profits or call it public safety but in reality all about control.

This is exactly why I posted what I did. Another Freedom taken away. Wonder how long before they come up with laws that outlaw driving older auto's just so they can track you.

Pentastar issues
WOW, the amount of threads and dealer issues with the Pentastar 3.6 breaking and blowing up is very disturbing. Both internal issues and supplier issues with the lack of quality components: http://www.bing.com/search?q=pentastar+v6+problems&qs=AS&form=QBLH&pq=pentastar&sc=8-9&sp=6&sk=AS5 I would have to say this could be a black eye for Chrysler. I do agree with one thread of problems with this engine. Chrysler pushed it out across so many auto lines. They should have gone with one for the first year to work out bugs or maybe two, not the wide amount they went with and the problems they have had.

Oil and Chips
It does seem to seal the road, but the cost to drivers due to the loose pea gravel that destroys windshields is terrible. The roads also become far more noisy. I hate driving on one of these roads.

Very cool, the Z24's always had a place in my heart as I thought they were pretty cool.

Ford vehicles you miss seeing the most
The white thunder bird always made me wonder who really wants a White interior as it gets dirty so fast. The Ford I miss is the 1991 Escort GT made by Mazda. This was a true Pocket Rocket before Ford Detuned it due to complainst from the insurance industry. I owned one New out of college, my first car I bought to build my credit and had it for 93,000 miles. Would still own it today if it was not for a stupid truck driver that rearended my wife, hurting her and totalling the car.

Interactive Review: 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco
This is the same problem with the Current Escalade. I have the litterally last ESV Platinum produced on the GMT800, the GMT900 dimensions are all better than the 800 and yet I cannot fit in the new escalade sitting upright like I can in my current Escalade. Being one to upgrade every 2-4 years, I am now wondering when I will get a new Full Size SUV Luxury ride as I have to be reclined to sit in the drivers seat. This is a deal breaker. They clearly DID NOT test the new Escalade on Sports figures/Big Guys. Same with the Eco, dimensions might be bigger, but clearly the way they are building the car makes it harder to fit into. Try having anyone sit in the back seat if you have big people up front.

Scuderi Engines When will we see them in Auto's?
Yes, that was my take on this engine design that I thought was pretty cool. I would love to have one to try out in a custom ride.

Chevrolet News:Chevrolet Introduces Their New Global Crossover, The Trax
My son always points to how great the performance is in a WRX, Why can Chevy not seem to figure out how to build a fun to drive small AWD CUV that can get crazy 30+ gasemileage when driven resonably and drop into the mid to high 20's under agressive driving? Chevy needs this little CUV to help out their numbers. Someone is smoking some very weird weed indeed.

Get ideas for your Vanity plate here
Washington State has 7 characters on standard plates which are pressed, but on custom plates you can have 8 characters. These plates are printed. Pretty cool as 8 characters allows a large amount of choices. Course we have an amazing amount of Windows and Linux derived plates in this state. Could it be the HiTech company nerds?

Industry News: Senate Passes Mandatory Black Boxes In Vehicles By 2015, House Expected To Follow
This calls for Revolution, Death to these Morons who want to create a Cast system and control what you can and cannot do. One more reason to hold onto older vehicles. I REFUSE to have the GOV see what I do in my vehicle. This is NOT about Safety, but about Controll. I wish the worst to all the morons who voted to support this bill. This will build an underground network of people who will find ways to disable or remove them from vehicles.

GM cars you miss seing the most
I miss the old Chevy Luv Trucks, those were the best mini pickup trucks Chevy ever had. To bad they dropped them for the S10 which I thought was created to just force people to always buy and replace after 2-4 years. They just do not seem to last compared to the Chevy Luv trucks. Show me the Luv baby!

Interactive Review: 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco
So compared to 10 years ago, how has this model faired? Have they improved or stayed static. Compared to the competition in this class, where does it sit. In regards to the future, can this model survive a 5 year life or will it have to be dropped and rebooted?

Honda News: Honda Wins Appeal Over Civic Hybrid Mileage Case
I actually think this will work against Honda more than help them for the small price it would have cost them.
