  1. Leaving Politics out of this and focusing on the biggest issue you really nailed Hyperv6, personal accountability. Way to many people are willing to take risk, make poor decisions and happily blame the system and everyone else for their failure. Perfect example is way too many bankruptcy Drump boy has done. Never his incompetence in business but everyone else and every other reason as to why he had to dump his debt on others and burn / destroy other companies for his own personal gain. Pathetic time we live in that many americans are not willing to take personal accountability for their own actions. Fire all politicians, instill a 2 term limit, 4 years max per limit for house, senate and president. Turn ALL government workers, city, county, state and all federal onto the same Social Security and Medicaid that the rest of us have to use. This will force them to fix the problem.Tort reform, hold the people wasting time and money in the courts for the lawyers benefits accountable to pay all legal cost when their worthless lawsuit loses. Yes I can go on, but personal accountability is severely lacking in our country. So sad, So bad, so we have been had!
  2. Interesting, I tried this on other auto's I had and really never noticed a difference. I wonder if that could be that the newer motors have learning computers and can adjust to the change in temps, density, etc. so these work then? Be interesting to compare a modern car with the product to an older carbureted version.
  3. Didn't Toyota just update the land cruiser and lexus version recently? I am sure they have gone through more updates than the G-Wagon.
  4. Sounds like the following is right up this topic threads discussion! https://www.amazon.it/Witch-Hunt-Essays-Industry-Blithering/dp/0982173377/278-8717530-6250723?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0 COMMENTARY: Witch Hunts and Cost Cuts Affect All Companies, Not Just Toyota http://www.edmunds.com/autoobserver-archive/2010/02/commentary-witch-hunts-and-cost-cuts-affect-all-companies-not-just-toyota.html
  5. +1 for auto pilot!
  6. Can anyone say Europe will be raising their emission levels to match the US in the future. I can, I bet they still end up in court and a big lawsuit will follow.
  7. Yea test drove an XT5 and very nice but surprised by a few little things including the sharp plastic edge on the bottom of the door area that scrapes the back of the calfs on normal people height. For someone long legged like me at 6'6" tall, no problem, but the wife at 5'8" tall and my mom both scraped the back of their legs. Was pretty shocked that GM would have such a sharp plastic edge on the XT5.
  8. And Consumer reports is an Asian Loving can do no wrong group of Idiots. At 6'6" tall, they clearly have not drank enough of their Asian Koolaid to print that there is no head room in the back seat of this auto. They are Idiots. Enough said about moronic Consumer Reports that hates all things American even if it is built in China by an American company. Check it out for yourself before believing moronic Consumer reports.
  9. What happens when a badge snob thinks they are better than everyone else.
  10. +1 I want my free Blackwood too!
  11. I am pretty sure the Battery cells are imported from Panasonic the partner in this battery plant, so assembly is American but Lion cells are Japan made or might come from the China assembly plant that is co-run by Panasonic and their China partner. Global economy.
  12. Nope it is properly priced, $8300+ cheaper than the GLC300 4matic with more features and function and better materials than the MB. This is a way better auto all the way around then MB is currently building and selling with more HP and Torque to boot. If you feel that about the Envision and XT5, then you have to reevaluate the MB CUV lineup that has the same problem and lower quality materials at this point as the Envision has surpassed the build quality of the MB.
  13. Guess MB is taking a page from GM of the 80's with make it all the same from bottom Value auto to top rape you of your life savings auto and still have them all look the same so you cannot tell how much one spent just like Balthazar has stated. So then next up for MB is to drop like a rock and then bankrupt and reorganize and rebuild like GM did is what history is teaching us.
  14. Once again, you need to get your facts straight. Most of the Lincoln dealerships are stand alone. That wasn't always the case but they are now.Oh and nice troll remark in the middle there. Classy </sarcasm> Actually Surreal, I have to disagree with you on the stand alone dealerships. On the west coast, I ONLY FIND FORD / Lincoln Dealerships with BOTH auto's on the same showroom floor. I have yet to see let alone be in a stand alone Lincoln Dealership.Just a few miles from my house is the Harris Ford Lincoln Dealership. They just finished a major remodel and expanded their one big showroom floor to show off both Lincoln and Ford side by side. HarrisFordLincolnDealership.jpg Negative vote aside, I have seen nothing but dedicated dealers in the Phoenix Valley and most of the ones I saw back east were the same way (lived in NC for 35 years). Point being that SMKs claim of 10% is pure trolling bull&#036;h&#33;.Also of note, I did say that there were still some like the ones you mentioned so why that merited a down vote, I haven't the foggiest. U'm so why is Fordcosworth down voting you on both posts? I only saw on my recent business trip to New Jersey Ford/Lincoln Dealerships. But regardless of this, you are right some areas will have separate and others will have merged. FordCosworth, please explain the two down votes to Surreal, otherwise without proper explanation of your downvote, this is trolling. Lol, what about that Porsche on the far left? I say some bloke traded it in for a real American Muscle Mustang GT500.

  16. Happy Fourth to you all. Just saw a video in which I was disappointed in how poorly our education system is failing people and not teaching the history of how this nation came into being. You would think if you were born here, you would know these basic questions about what is the 4th of July, who we left, etc. Happy 4th of July to you all!
  17. Just another day Eh?
  18. depending on the weather, all fruit can be sweeter or sour, sweeter means higher sugar content. Fish does matter as some fish is from the deep ocean and have better omega 3 than other fish say krill which is usually in warmer water. It does make a difference.
  19. Nope they also are a good source of Omega 3.
  20. Saw this morning at the Park N Ride a beat up but still running Cavalier z24. Crazy, I thought they all died within the first few years of use. Fun car but so unreliable.
  21. I think if you have a Tubo 4 banger, it is a step up to Hybrid. I would have no problem with a Turbo 4 Hybrid at the same starting price as a V6. They both have the same performance, but of course the Hybrid gets better MPG. Let the market then decide which they want to buy and have a step up to turbo V8 and top line is SC V8 for the CT6.
  22. So personally I use Kirkland Signature Omega 3 gel pill twice a day from Costco. Just awesome packed liquid at a reasonable price. Here is one of the better reviews and top 3 Omega 3 supplements. http://www.bestconsumerreviews.com/omega-3-reviews/ http://pthome.org/best-omega-3-supplements/
  23. WOW - Ford / Lincoln sold 1,313,048 year to date. Chevy, GMC, Buick, Cadillac sold 1,438,915 I have to honestly question if GM is able to deal with 4 name plates compared to going to 3 or 2. This is not much more in sales compared to Ford with 2 labels only.
