I have sat in both these auto's and will say the interior materials are nice. End of positive comments as the over all interiors are just blah, sterile and nothing with passion. The ubber luxury rides used to be totally custom and while the Bentley allows a certain amount of custom ordering, most are just mass produced cookie cutters and this is where the ubber Sterile ride comes in. I am in with Balthazar and A Horse With No Name that I would expect a passion infused custom ride that stands apart from the mass produced auto's we have here.

If I could pick something other than the two dogs listed above, it would have to be one of these 3 custom Luxury Hot Rods 1939 Lincoln Zephyr Custom 1957 Custom Chevy Cadillac Buick Roadmaster Course there are many other sexy hot rods I would enjoy also.

SMK will love this news, I for one other than select AMG models find the whole product line a Yawn. -
Valid point but I could also say this about MB, BMW, Audi, etc. I also have not had any issues with my CUE in my Cadillac. I wonder how much of the issues really boil down to people not being familiar with the interface. I could bitch about how bad the MB interface is, that one is to me like an iPhone which I feel is a terrible interface. Never understand people who like that tech, but it clearly appeals to some. So I take complaints by all auto mags with a grain of salt. Just way to many different interfaces that I doubt the writers can stay on top of when they change the software and how it properly works. I hold more faith in the JD powers review and when people complain about stuff than the auto reviews.

YES, YES, YES, Ski season is here. All the resorts are open and Washington state is back in ski mode. 27" base at Stevens. https://www.stevenspass.com/site Crazy that from Whistler to Mt. Hood we have a ton of fresh powder. Total since Nov 1st is 123 inches of snowfall. Cascade Mountains from Seattle looking East Snowboarding this past weekend at Baker. Powder Play at Whistler this last weekend.

I thought all the TDI's were to be bought back and crushed. Reading the agreement with the EPA imply they will not be fixed but crushed and removed from the road. Course it would not be the first time I have totally misunderstood the crazy writings of our gov agencies.

True, but cheaper than a whole new auto with big payments. I am so happy to not have any auto payment. I would rather just pay for gas, maintenance and repairs.
-
Awesome, way to go. solid auto's are always great to have. After all we all know they are the worst investments in the world.

Hey Drew, The local job fair was pretty big here for the tech community and the following web sites were posted by the Seattle Times as a place to start for building a resume. http://resume.monster.com/ http://www.resumebuilder.org/ https://www.resume.com/ https://www.myperfectresume.com/ https://resumegenius.com/ Course LinkedIn also has a resume builder and plenty of web sites talk about and show how to use your linked in profile to produce a PDF Resume. https://www.linkedin.com/company/resume-builder https://linkedinresumebuilder.com/ https://www.visualcv.com/linkedin-resume-builder/ https://www.resumonk.com/resume-builder/help/import-from-linkedin Course some do require you pay a fee, but most can help get you going. Remember one big thing is that most companies use resume scanning software which is to search for key words based on the job description. So one will want to write it to address those key words they put in that job description. Good luck.

Yes sad, but must be extra dry as this is fall and going into winter. Where is the rain and how did this so called wild fire get started? Me think there is human cause behind the fires.

Greed is Good according to Gordon Gecko, yet that same greed happens still today with creative financing. I agree that the buyer is also to blame for making stupid dumb decisions. Yet when a sales person at a dealership plays with the numbers through creative financing to sell an auto, the whole nation ends up paying when the individual defaults on the loan. We have had this with creative financing on house loans, I see it on auto loans and with student loans. Yes people are at fault for going over their ability to live within reason, yet just as much blame also falls on the marketing by companies that prey on peoples addiction to the jones jones race of having the best and being stupid. All I am saying is that we could greatly reduce the hit to tax payers and companies bottom lines from defaults if creative financing was not allowed. It should be straight forward that you run a credit check, debt to income assessment and if they can truly afford the monthly payment then make a sale. If they are upside down, outside of reasonable living expenses, etc. the sale does not happen. One day businesses will realize that they have to stop with the stupid creative financing to just make a sale now rather than repeat customers who can afford an auto over time.

Front tire looks a bit flat, but WOW, that is in Cherry condition. Wonder if they got it from an Estate sale. I have found many older auto's in cherry condition from estate sales. Nice catch Drew.
-
I love that I have no auto payment. Yes I do love my rides, but 2008 is my newest, 1994 is my oldest, will probably die before I get rid of my 94 GMC Suburban SLE. That is a tank that just keeps going.

I would agree, the CT6 is leaps above what Caddy made in the past, but there is the rub, the past is always the next day, so you need to consistently obsolete yourself to be better than the competition. Welcome to the 21st century of what the High Tech industry has pushed on the world. 90 days later, your out of date.
-
Not surprised by this at all, it really is to be expected when creative financing allows people of little income to buy at a level that requires double if not triple what they really can afford. The dealers and auto companies need to stop offering creative financing to people that do not have the credit or income to support driving an auto that is outside their means.
-
CT6, the car everyone seems to want to use for it's whipping boy. Wonder if it is that they are all so jealous of the auto that they have to nit pick.
-
+1 and in agreement with Balthazar and A Horse with no Name. Pass on both of these bland dinosaurs.

VW News: Call Me Arteon, The Successor To the Volkswagen CC
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Volkswagen
Failure!, Coupe design is so over done. VW has a history of doing a jelly bean generic blend that does not stand out. At this point, they are hurting so bad due to the diesel scandal that they could use a hit with a truly fresh and stand out design. Time to bring back some original sedan designs that are a break from the coupe design. -
Agree, after a long holiday break, really hard to get back into the flow of working.
-
Gonna have to be far more than just $5K to make me consider one. I would be expecting 10-15K off to move them.

Hummer should have had the Alpha out day one when they did a truck. That would have made them a leader with many sales. They did too little too late for the trucks in Hummer. Cadillac had a winning truck and walked away from it for stupid reason I am pretty sure. They should have continued the Avalanche and the EXT. Lincoln truck was cool but way too wrong for the market. Failure from the concept to the end. MB could do a truck and I think making it part of the G-Class would be a smart way to go with a butch Military Luxury ride. I think MB could find buyers for the badge job then.
-
Thank you, yes it was a wonderful 49th b-day. 1 more and the big 50 hits me and yet I still have not hit middle age meltdown. Spent the day bowling with the family, then they took me out to lunch and I got movies to add to my rather large 1400+ movie collection. Over all a great day. Everyone have a great week. Mine is starting out swell.
-
Glad you like it, for me there is nothing special about owning these over priced badge jobs. You want passion from MB, here are some auto's that stir the passion of wanting to drive them.
-
This is just another butt ugly jelly bean auto that I cannot tell is this an A, C, D, E or S? They all look the same and nothing exciting to stir the passion of driving other than the badge.
-
Very cool Movie. Awesome to see you guys working on the truck and hear it running.
