  1. :rotflmao: It's about time some of the MFRs realize chasing the cheapest labor can bite them in the too.
  2. Good, probably would be a bad idea to hand deliver. Otherwise next thing you know they'd probably show you the box anyway then ask you to help them figure out how to work the DVD player. Now their grandson probably gets that pleasure.
  3. With all the technology we have these days, I would think that voice could be refined at least to the point of not being shamed an early '80s Chrysler.
  4. Historically true. There actually were several thousand black soldiers in the confederate army.
  5. You mean when the public thinks EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!! they don't automatically dream of Daewoo hatchbacks?
  6. I only prey Nissan doesn't come up with some equally cute/effective ads for the Cube. :puke:
  7. Remind her that the hamsters are usually under the hood.
  8. Dex-VI is supposed to be an incredibly stable tranny fluid so 50K should be no problem. Another reason they are likely quoting $220 is that they want to do a fluid exchange with a flushing machine. The goodwrench coupon may be for the standard dropping the pan and replacing the filter and ~5 qts. of fluid vs. the 12-16 qts. sold with a flush. Many shops are more than eager to sell a flush but hate to have to drop a pan or replace the filter becuase it is more profitable labor cost wise for them to just do the flushes. Doing both would really be ideal but a shop would charge so much for such a service nobody would go for it. A good cheap DIY option would be to drop the pan/filter @50K, install a drain plug kit on the tranny pan, then change the fluid w/ fresh Dex-VI three times in a row which would flush the nearly all of the factory fluid out.
  9. Yet lately some of the common generic drugs sold by Wal-Mart, et al. are in fact gereric drugs from Canada - they just have a company in the US stuff them into those bubble/foil packs and then say they are "Made in Canada- Packaged in USA"
  10. Tell me about it. Just waiting now to see if they plan to wipe out what little value the stock has left.
  11. No wonder GM is in the shape it is. The car programs are decided by the international geezer club. Needless to say I vote 'NO' to nearly all these clowns every year.
  12. Their breakfast pizza and donuts are awesome too IMO.
  13. I usually just shop by price and if the station's pumps look decently cared-for. The fuel itself is often shipped in from the same local tanker terminal in many places anyway, the additive pack mixed into the base fuel just changes. I think the quality of the tanks and equipment at the station probably has more bearing on fuel quality than the brand being sold.
  14. G5 GT is great looking loaded out...but damn expensive full sticker price -wise. 23K for a non turbo'd delta? I think not. Better be some good rebates. Dealer near me had a program car GT with <100 mi. and basically everything except auto. down to 16K already. I like the Vibe but it if your much over 6' the seat doesn't move back enough. Fit Sport is really a pretty good deal for a small car.
  15. Which is why the largest auto show in the US by a wide margin is in Chicago.
  16. Does the A/C compressor even try to engage? Even with the HVAC control in an A/C mode the PCM will not actually command the fans or compressor clutch 'on' unless the A/C pressure sensor signals a sufficient system pressure. Otherwise the fans will likely not turn on for regular engine cooling until the coolant temp gets pretty hot, in the 225ºF/105ºC range.
  17. Most likely there is at least some nitrogen in there, some methane, and just the right amount of hydrogen sulfide gives it that special "essence". :AH-HA_wink: BTW: If they do fart in the gasoline at Shell, stay away from the No.2 diesel fuel.
  18. umm...I mean... that's cheating! :AH-HA_wink:
  19. +1 Dodgefan, its sounds like some hotkey that has peen pressed. A quick visual of the NVIDIA menu. I did not see any rotation settings listed on my ATi chipset laptop, but it is nearing 5 yrs old so that may have changed.
  20. No wonder the Shell engineers think their **** doesn't stink, they fart nitrogen!
  21. And to wash it down...
  22. Is that a bicycle pump in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me? :AH-HA_wink:
  23. ACHIEVAS OF THE WORLD UNITE!
