Industry News: Ford Executive Wants A Sequel To "Cash for Clunkers"
67impss replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News
Back to c4c it decimated the used car stock. I live in Dayton Ohio and was out of work from 2009- 2013, sure my age and highish past pay rate added to my woes but that was a painful time. In looking through car adds afterwards the used cars were more than triple and my wages were 1/3 of what I previously was making. My point is that the folks at the bottom can't afford new and get a Gov check. The used car market hasn't recovered here yet, my 2000 Dakota Sport 3.9l 5spd man. with 300k mi would still pull in maybe 1k-1.2k$ and that's absurd. I know pricing inflates but this insane and I was just reading last week that the used market was reeling from all the lease turn ins and rentals. I was hopeful that I might be able to afford something newer, after I get back to work.- 49 replies

67impss replied to William Maley's topic in Fiat
Yes it took forever to get up and running but they are a major employer in the Miami Valley and still growing there are a few other companies in the old complex also but tiny in comparison. FUYAO was always Chinese though, also a plant in Mt. Zion, IL FUYAO GLASS AMERICA WE’RE AN OEM GLASS SUPPLIER TO ALL MAJOR AUTO MANUFACTURERS General Motors, Ford, BMW, Honda, Bentley and more all use Fuyao glass in their newly manufactured automobiles. When top of the line auto glass is required then Fuyao glass is what’s needed.- 26 replies

I'm not so sure about that Horse the way drag racing drive lines work now the transmission limits torque output to allow tires to grip and not go up into smoke. They use centrifical force to engage the clutch pack and add extra clamping force once it's fully engaged (I'm thinking that you knew that but was thinking of others) One things for sure this sure will add to a very expensive sport already ? -

I kinda like the tech of this, all driveline bolts up to a standard Chevy bell housing. Though other than reaction time at the light and maybe axle ratio's the races will be hundred thousands differentes I'm thinking that you won't see who's the winner other than the lights. So how many motors can be coupled together, I'm channeling Tommy Ivo! -
Industry News: Mahindra Fights Back Against FCA's Complaint
67impss replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News
Irritating yes but without reading the license or agreement nor FCA bringing up any specific points I can't see Mahindra being so stupid as to break the license and agreement which is they're cash cow (no pun intended)- 13 replies

Industry News: Mahindra Fights Back Against FCA's Complaint
67impss replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News

My understanding is that they have been building the same basic vehicle since the end of ww2 by license and this is not certified for hiway use. Now if they have violated the license agreement then FCA has a case if not it's just sour grapes. FCA is in the business of on road passenger vehicles not side by side off road toys. CJ3's are not in FCA's business plan last I've read.
