    Really? Like what? The only thing I bought there, a car wash brush hose attachment, broke after 3 uses. Did you take it back for return or exchange? Costco has a great return program and while the say 90 days, I have seen them take stuff back that was far older. They are the Nordstroms of Big Warehouses. Awesome customer service. 90 days is only for electronics. Everything else has no pre-determined time limit. See like most people, I see the 90 day sign and ignore the rest. So that probably helps them also.

    Really? Like what? The only thing I bought there, a car wash brush hose attachment, broke after 3 uses. I realize Costco has various different product for areas depending on where you live, but they do have a nice assortment online that can be shipped anywhere. http://www.costco.com/wash-wax.html I do like the Mothers packages they have, one that is local here in Seattle but does not seem to be online is their $99.99 bucket package. This is a 5 gallon bucket with 3 pack of mitts, and their premium exterior car care kit. Another package they do not have listed is their Mothers Drill Rim cleaning and polishing kit which is $29.99 at Costco and I find it in the auto parts stores and Fred Meyers for $39.99. They always seem to also have a few generic packages also. There is a 3 pack of 1 gallon containers, Cleaner, Wax and Clearcoat sealer for $19.99. So this always last me the year to keep my auto's clean. Some of their auto options that I would pass on, the GOODYEAR Wipers. I have tried them and even though Costco brings in their top of the line version and sells them for $9.99 per individual blade, I have never had anything beat the long life and clear windshield I get with Bosch wipers. Thought I did find these new blades online that I have not seen in the store. http://www.costco.com/Scrubblade-Platinum-Wiper-Blade.product.100041251.html# Anyone ever hear of Scrubblade before?

    Back on topic, My $100 Auto wish! $100 gift card to Costco, so I can replenish all my auto cleaning supplies. They have awesome kits.

    Nothing Like a Clean engine bay! Nothing like a Easy Motor / Transmission combo. Remember the days of Velour Upholstery? Remember the day of High Quality Stereos?

    Warranty cannot denie claims if you use the proper spec oil but not a name brand.
  10. G. David Felt
    wow, that is a cool take for the 21st century. Way to go for posting this.

    Maybe like in the Movie Demolition man. The steering wheel will get folded into the dash when in self driving mode. So you just have to relax your hands in your lap or play with your phone or what ever else you want to do.

    Delphi has self driving auto's doing cross country trips in the US racking up more miles than the MB, so how is MB considered the leader and what about Google and their 700,000 miles driven so far over the last 5 years? MB is NOT the Leader in Self Driving auto's.

    WOW, I am feeling really old today in realizing I am one of the few from the 60's.

    weird, never got what people that was interesting about pictures like this.

    Which truck is this and what specific formula is required? Never heard of a truck that requires only a specific kind, usually if synthetic, you can use any synthetic as long as it is the right 5w30 as an example.
  16. G. David Felt
    Clarify please? Are you pointing to the 500EV, Nissan Leaf, Spark EV, etc. auto's that all have just 60-80 mile range? As posted in my EV conversion article, you can get 200 mile battery packs and even more all depending on the space you have to hold the batteries and if you are willing to pay for the higher capacity batteries. We now have batteries that can deliver much higher and long battery life so you could drive and enjoy a 2-3 day run before plugging in to charge again. Even with east coast crazy cost of electricity, an EV is still cheaper to run than a petrol auto.

    This guy deals with the body! He likes his steel bodies much better than the aluminum ones!

    You're saying that swapping out the drive unit is a big deal. I'm saying it's not and that it is likely not even necessary in many cases, but Tesla is doing it anyway to maintain top consumer satisfaction..... a warranty policy that other companies should consider emulating. But again, nearly everyone here reading this knows you have an agenda against electric vehicles and Tesla in particular. There are many companies out there that are also working with Tesla once they pull a battery pack or electric motor and review it by engineering and then sell it cheap to places like EV West in California that will do EV conversions and you can have the Tesla Motor and battery pack used in your auto for the conversion. Drew is correct, a small issue that probably does not require replacement is having Tesla swap out the motor so their engineering can look at it closer to better understand the failure or reduced performance. Tesla I believe knows they have to be better than anyone else if they are to survive long term.

    Will benefit those on a tight budget who needs savings more than anything.

    I like his thinking, keep the auto enjoyable to drive but also allow it to to semi auto when you are in heavy stop n go traffic. Be interesting to see how this works out. More interesting is how people accept or handle this and when an accident happens and if they think it is GM's fault or their own. Someone I can see decides to put it on cruze and takes a nap and wakes up in a wreck and says this is GM's fault. Not a fan of all these self protection idiot features. If you do not want to be a responsible driver, than take the bus, uber, taxi, etc.

    WOW, What an ugly jelly bean.
  22. G. David Felt
    Very Cool, way to go!

    Good for him to defend his product. Wish others would take CR to task for a heavy hand on their review of american products.
  24. G. David Felt
    Be interesting to see how fast the auto industry moves to Electric Hybrids like the volt or pure EVs.

    Beginning of the end for FCA, I do not see them surviving and still being FCA in 5 years.
