  1. What did you replace it with????
  2. Is that a Peugeot? Looks like the emblem on the dash.
  3. Have your 4 year old listen to Rain, he is a tripple threat actor, singer, dancer. He did some R rated action movies that are awesome for parents. For Kids, his music and videos ROCK! Course the Wife and daughter think he is hot. LOL His Movie Ninja Assassin is just AWESOME if you like that kind of martial arts movie. Some might consider it a bit bloody as it follows normal Asian excessive blood, but movie is fun to me to watch. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1186367/
  4. Synchronized is K-pop or J-pop!
  5. Helping the wife and listening to K-Pop!
  6. Interesting, not bad looking, looking forward to hearing more about it.
  7. Subaru clearly did not do their homework. This is a joke.
  8. See if this gets beat up in the Forums much like the EcoBoost from Ford does for not giving the stated gas mileage. People are going to enjoy the boost and the gas mileage will suffer. Common sense, you cannot have both fuel efficiency and power fun. Nothing has given that not even electric. Takes power to move weight.
  9. Very cool, so you can have a Gun Bullet ride and yet just cruising it can still be efficient. I love it!
  10. Will be interesting to see how many people actually spend time in their booth. I honestly think this will backfire on them for driving interest in their products especially for the cost of the booth space.
  11. Hello from wine country all! Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. Gotta say I love the latest ads from Korea Cadillac on instagram.
  12. True, that big mouth billy bass look is not the best.
  13. 499 Electric Fastback Mustangs will be built. https://charge.cars/ Interesting, wonder if they will sell them all? ? You can have it RWD or AWD 5,531 lb-ft of torque 402 HP 64 kWh battery pack good for 124 miles Cost - 200,000 pounds or $256,699.87 at today's exchange rate for this British company.
  14. Yawn, I see no reason to get excited. The buyers of this product category like Boring, this change could cause heart attacks. ?‍♂️
  15. My 1994 GMC Suburban SLE with 300,000 + miles I would take over any CUV and especially any German or Asian car. Was designed to haul and pull and has outlasted many auto's a fraction of it's age. I would also take it over a G-Wagon. Yes it is built to military grade spec and will outlast pretty much the rest of MB product line, but the cost of repairs is way higher than my suburban.
  16. Sharp looking that is for sure. Not sure what the mileage is as they state zero on the Autotrader web site. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=486957501&zip=98043&referrer=%2Fcars-for-sale%2Fsearchresults.xhtml%3Fzip%3D98043%26startYear%3D1981%26sortBy%3DmileageASC%26incremental%3Dall%26firstRecord%3D0%26marketExtension%3Don%26endYear%3D2019%26modelCodeList%3DH3T%26makeCodeList%3DAMGEN%26searchRadius%3D0%26trimCodeList%3DH3T%7CAlpha&startYear=1981&numRecords=25&firstRecord=0&endYear=2019&modelCodeList=H3T&makeCodeList=AMGEN&searchRadius=0&clickType=spotlight
  17. Once you drive an Alpha, you can never drive the I5 version again. Night and Day different.
  18. Here the High schools and DMV do not have any training that they offer anymore. You now have to attend a for profit driving school. So I would think those types of companies would have a plot of land they could cover in man made snow, etc.
  19. Correct in the last 2yrs they had the Alpha which had the 5.3 L V8 Sad part is that even the non-V8 models with over 100,000 miles are still fetching high prices due to the ability these trucks can handle but is stupid pricing. Right now the closest Alpha to me is 700 miles away, Has 122,000 miles and they are asking $22K https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=497135025&zip=98043&referrer=%2Fcars-for-sale%2Fsearchresults.xhtml%3Fzip%3D98043%26startYear%3D1981%26sortBy%3Drelevance%26incremental%3Dall%26firstRecord%3D0%26marketExtension%3Don%26endYear%3D2019%26modelCodeList%3DH3T%26makeCodeList%3DAMGEN%26searchRadius%3D0&startYear=1981&numRecords=25&firstRecord=0&endYear=2019&modelCodeList=H3T&makeCodeList=AMGEN&searchRadius=0&clickType=spotlight Crazy ?‍♂️ Total Search does show some very low mileage H3T Alpha's but like Cmicassa has stated, your looking at mid $40K for one. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/HUMMER/H3T/Mountlake+Terrace+WA-98043?zip=98043&marketExtension=on&startYear=1981&endYear=2019&makeCodeList=AMGEN&searchRadius=0&modelCodeList=H3T&trimCodeList=H3T|Alpha&sortBy=mileageASC&numRecords=25&firstRecord=0 OK, looked at a few more of the H3T Alphas listed on the East Coast, High $20K to Low $30K gets you one in the 50-70K miles range. Not too bad. Nice White one in NC.
  20. Totally agree, Cadillac dropped the ball on not Maximizing this commercial and the sales it would have driven into the dealerships. That ATS commercial is too funny, your right the underlying message is there. That is just sad! It deserves this Emojii! ?
  21. Average cost of a commercial snow making machine is $5,000 dollars. Over the life of a business, that is easy to cover in what one would charge customers so you have a place to experience driving on snow. An outdoor ice rink with snow making machine might just be a good thing to consider if all else was equal. I searched online and it lookes like in Europe Drivers ed is an 800 to 1500 euros course, so I would restate that in the US you could have a much more in depth, detailed drivers ed for 800 to 1500 US dollars. The point I am making is our current schooling for learning to drive is not enough to really prepare people for driving on public roads. I have driven since I was 12, but then I was already 6' tall then before I got my last 6 inches summer between 9th and 10th grade. Like you I was driving with my parents and without much more than others probably did. One cannot replace experience of driving with a text book or just a couple lessons. I still think we need a much more detailed driving school which will cost more.
  22. Course it would help if GM would pull their collective head out of their ASS and market them properly!
  23. @Cmicasa the Great Totally agree, why GM has not realized that Hummer should be a package for GMC is beyond me. I loved the H3T Alpha and was planning to get one but by the time I was ready, the product was dead and no new ones available. The few that were on dealer lots were used hard. Those that do have them and there are plenty around here on the road love their Alpha H3T's.
  24. @ccap41 @Robert Hall Guy's I know many of the northern European countries do require winter weather training, I know they have mother nature to help out with that as it does cost way more and much longer to become a driver. To address ccap41 thought on expense, it actually is not that expensive at all as they have snow making equipment that is now pretty common and easy to use. It is used in many southern places to make snow for a few hours for locals / celebrations. Drivers training should be a 2-3,000 dollar cost to learn to drive, not the 3-500 that the 4 week local driving schools charge for just a couple days a week. It is pathetic. With a higher cost you would have to factor in the expense of having a lot big enough where you could create / blow snow over it and then have drivers learn what it is like to be on snow. Maybe us a subcompact car on an Ice rink for ice driving, slid training. I am sure if it was a requirement, we could easily find solutions. FYI - After Today, I am out on PTO and heading to Eastern Washington Lake Chelan winery area. Got a condo booked and will be walking and drinking myself pickled for the week. Offline till at least Tuesday, see if I can go the whole Thanksgiving day week without being online. Addicted to everyone here! ?‍♂️
