  1. Love this guy (Toshiki Kadomatsu), his music while all instrumental is just great background while you work. First got introduced to him while going to school in Japan. He came to America to learn Jazz before going back home and doing his own take on it. AWESOME The last track on the CD is June Bride. My wife walked down the isle to this song. Hard to believe, 26 years now. My parents arranged for us to meet. I had a job, flew home from Japan and had told my parents I was ready to settle down. Flew into Seattle on March 16th. My parents took me to this restaurant that she managed on March 17 1991 and the rest is as they say history. We married on Dec 24th 1991. Who says your parents cannot pick a good spouse for you.
  2. 25-30 min commute. Lucky I work for a boss that allows me to stay being a morning person so I start early and end early missing the bulk of the commuters and the congestion that goes with it. Gave up on ever living close to work. Always seemed that once I got close to work, I ended up changing jobs.
  3. I was thinking the same thing. Love the auto, but can I delete the Chrome option for the exterior and interior? Why does every top of the line package have to have bloody chrome? That is such a baby boomer thinking that it makes the auto richer looking.
  4. So True, I was thinking the same thing, this old auto has never been tuned for the roads, just took the old late 60's, early 70's methode big ass engine and fast quarter mile straight line to hell and nothing else.
  5. @oldshurst442 You stated that well! Be interesting to see what GM and Ford do to answer or if they answer. Love the spec and I have to think this is a 100K auto that collectors will snatch up.
  6. Nice This will sell well and do well. @Paolino I totally agree, they needs a power upgrade option for this. Base model should have this engine but the Avenir should get a TTV6. At least a single TV6 Wonder why GM has not taken the TTV6 and offered a TV6 as a lower level but a step above the NA V6?
  7. Nice that they are keeping the family look and the brick look of a real SUV. Much better than the stupid Coupe look Germany seems to be falling over to do over and over and over again. Be interesting to see where this ends up.
  8. Much better face than the buck tooth look. Still not a fan of the overall style.
  9. Depending on the type of auto, mass produced Impala or limited production Trailblazer AWD SS, I take my 2008 Trailblazer as a classic over the Impala and the rest of the TB's out there with a 6 banger only.
  10. So true, I figured if this is configured up to be an $80-85,000 SUV and you agree to buy it for $80K with 20% down. your looking at $1,135.55 to $1,171.16. So Yup, I agree, the sales person better know the product inside out.
  11. Many current base models from around the world can spank this thing. Badge lovers will buy it and no one else.
  12. No matter what, we all have had that frustration of dealing with morons that tell ya it is a High output V6 and it is really only a 4 banger or a V8. I have always wished that auto sales people would have some integrity of knowing what they want to sell rather than just BS through the car shopping process.
  13. I get that many will be idiots of the worst kind but Jeep better do a better job as this could come back to bite them big time in court. I could see lawsuits over what was sold to them.
  14. Yawn, Their coping GMC with just package of lipstick treatments! At least GMC Denali looks good compared to this and can anyone really tell the difference in shades of white? Still a pig and not a pretty one at that.
  15. Would be cool for my parents who really should not be driving and will not listen to me or my sisters.
  16. I am excited from a tech standpoint to try this out and see how it works.
  17. Biggest hate of the dealership, IDIOT Salespeople that really do not know their products. This Trailhawk is gonna have customers asking specific track questions and they better know what they are talking about. I can see someone asking about Launch mode and a sales person saying Yup it has a trailer hitch.
  18. And they wonder why people can never say nice things about a dealership. Dealerships are a love hate relationship in many cases due to their own greed and piss poor handling of service and perception.
  19. I would rather add my own PIA fog lights and take the extra cooling to the breaks and engine. Any Dealer who thinks they can mark up an auto over MSRP are idiots. I have a Chevy Dealer here in Seattle that has 30 BOLTS on their lot and they already have them all marked down $2K off MSRP and are selling them. Buyers have to feel that they are getting service and a deal to plunk down money. Anything else and you're an idiot in this 21st century buyers market.
  20. I honestly thing due to the so called living wage push, which has forced inflation up, the packages on auto's have also pushed the price up and yet then you see huge discounts to keep the product selling. Why not just go ahead and bring the prices back down to reality. You would probably get allot more young people into an auto and excited about auto's if you did not have them starting in the mid 20's and going to the moon. Pricing on compacts and subcompacts are crazy now.
  21. @Drew Dowdell Sorry to hear he crossed such a line. I really do not get people being so out of line against people. After all we might not like a person or what they stand for but educated individuals should be able to be civil even when they disagree with another. Sad, but then you get what you give.
  22. Nice review, good commuter auto or first auto. I am a bit dismayed as to why they are using an 8 inch screen when the 10 inch screen in the bolt is lovely. They should have that standard across all auto's. 10" and up in size as you go up in auto size. No stupid need for tiny screens.
