Edmunds/IL: Buick Lacrosse vs Es350... and Wins
Justin Bimmer replied to Cmicasa the Great's topic in Buick
I can 99% promise you that ANYBODY buying either one of these cars has performance LAST on their list of what they are looking for in a car. If performance isn't last, they either don't know what they are talking about, or they are insane and should have their license revoked. -
All stand alone Buick and GMC dealers will be consolidated by 2010 General Motors says that by October 2010, all Buck and GMC franchise agreements will be renewed to only offer a "dual dealership", meaning there will no longer be any stand alone Buick or GMC dealers. All stand alone Buick and GMC dealers will be consolidated by 2010.

Books on tape are like the last bastion of cassettes in America. My mom gets them from the library. Fortunately, they are phasing them out and going to books on CD now. -

Toyota accused of destroying and hiding evidence

If the United States Attorney's office files an obstruction of justice criminal charge against them, then I will start listening. -

NOAA Study Shows Nitrous Oxide Now Top Ozone-Depleting Emission
Justin Bimmer replied to cletus8269's topic in Industry News
Current DOE projections show at most a 17% reduction in NOx from clean diesel technology currently in use. But, CNG gets you 1/2 the efficiency as diesel does. -
NOAA Study Shows Nitrous Oxide Now Top Ozone-Depleting Emission
Justin Bimmer replied to cletus8269's topic in Industry News
I LOVE IT! I am laughing my ass off out here in California. All the air boards (ones who regulate pollution) except the ones in the SF bay area have forced cities to switch from low NOx emitting diesel buses to high NOx emitting CNG buses. Now that diesel is super clean and much more efficient, they are all going to look like dopes. They should have listened to us. -

I think that sausage place was just on Diners driveins and dives. Or was it Man v. Food

There was an episode of "CHiPs" where Ponch and Jon had scale duty right by Magic Mountain, and they decided to go eat lunch there one day. When they were leaving the park there just happened to be a a mach 1 mustang drag racing a ford van!?

I was really hoping this thread was going to either be about a cool water park or that lame Kevin Costner movie. Good luck with all that crazy weather.

What does GM have to compete with Taurus SHO ?
Justin Bimmer replied to rkmdogs's topic in General Motors
A 2003 Australian study[8] by Monash University Accident Research Centre found that ABS: * Reduced the risk of multiple vehicle crashes by 18 percent, * Reduced the risk of run-off-road crashes by 35 percent. On high-traction surfaces such as bitumen, or concrete, many (though not all) ABS-equipped cars are able to attain braking distances better (i.e. shorter) than those that would be easily possible without the benefit of ABS. In real world conditions even an alert, skilled driver without ABS would find it difficult, even through the use of techniques like threshold braking, to match or improve on the performance of a typical driver with a modern ABS-equipped vehicle. ABS reduces chances of crashing, and/or the severity of impact. The recommended technique for non-expert drivers in an ABS-equipped car, in a typical full-braking emergency, is to press the brake pedal as firmly as possible and, where appropriate, to steer around obstructions. In such situations, ABS will significantly reduce the chances of a skid and subsequent loss of control. Ok, you kinda win the "slippery conditions" portion of the arguement. . . In gravel, sand and deep snow, ABS tends to increase braking distances. On these surfaces, locked wheels dig in and stop the vehicle more quickly. ABS prevents this from occurring. Some ABS calibrations reduce this problem by slowing the cycling time, thus letting the wheels repeatedly briefly lock and unlock. Some vehicle manufacturer provides an "off-road" button to turn ABS function off. The primary benefit of ABS on such surfaces is to increase the ability of the driver to maintain control of the car rather than go into a skid — though loss of control remains more likely on soft surfaces like gravel or slippery surfaces like snow or ice. On a very slippery surface such as sheet ice or gravel, it is possible to lock multiple wheels at once, and this can defeat ABS (which relies on comparing all four wheels, and detecting individual wheels skidding). Availability of ABS relieves most drivers from learning threshold braking. But, I can't remember the last time I drove on gravel, and we can all talk about horrific winters, but really, how much driving on ice does the average person do? -

I avoid accidents EVERYDAY with brakes. -

Justin Bimmer replied to rkmdogs's topic in General Motors
Now that I have thought about this some more, and I am not trying to single you out SAmadei, this is meant more towards a larger group of people who would AGREE with what you said: I have driven many many many different types of vehicles. FWD, RWD, AWD, 4WD, Buses, Class 8 Trucks, Gooseneck Trailers, motorcycles, London Double Deckers. This "squirting" statement is ONLY true with a motorcycle being better than an automobile with any wheels pulling or pushing or any combination there of. To avoid an accident, brakes are your best friend, preferably ABS. I know people have this super man-love for RWD and they think Zeta is Jesus reincarnated as a car platform, but really guys? Really?

Simply irrelevant.
