    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 Welcome to the 21st century of what the High Tech industry has pushed on the world. 90 days later, your out of date.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.

    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.
  15. G. David Felt
    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.

    Crispy deep fried is crunchy goodness!

    Yes it is much better in both the XT5 and CT6, but I still think this is one area that Cadillac could truly dump the system and start with a clean sheet design incorporating Apple and Android play and have a superior system to everyone else.

    WOW, soo cool, I wonder how much it slips on the logs. Big ass rims, steel I imagine.

    Might be more than you think, Germany is clearly not happy with VW Diesel and is pushing for the same program, same settlement terms as the US. Where Germany goes, the rest of Europe is sure to follow.

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone, to all humans everywhere, the desire for Freedom of life, press, communication, to raise one without control of a government. I thank the multiple generations of Marines on both sides of my family for the freedoms I have today. Oo Rah To each and everyone member on this forum, Thank you for participating and giving to this country no matter how we see things, each of us offers DIVERSITY that makes us STRONGER! Happy Thanks Giving Oo Rah!

    Totally understandable as the expense of getting them recertified here and the over all image makes me think VW is going to just walk away from doing any Diesel thing.
  24. G. David Felt
    Totally agree, the rear visibility out of your shoulder checks is terrible.
  25. G. David Felt
    So True with BMW and then you have what I consider a cardinal sin. MB with making every model look identical from the cheap A series to the S series, other than size, most cannot tell which is which with that mess.
