  1. Actually, the case was about whether we treat corporations as individuals or not. Edit: I wouldn't have nearly as much problem with the ruling if there weren't already so much media consolidation out there. Break up the media groups into much smaller "individuals" and then at least the playing field will be level. As it stands, this ruling means that we're going to have Glenn Beck turned up to 11 and drowning out all other voices simply because he'll get the most corporate money. Free speech is great and all, but what's the point if I can't hear it for all the noise.
  2. I'm going to diverge from SAmaldei and suggest that you might have a fuel injector issue.... and if not there, fuel pump.
  3. Cold weather? Does temperature matter?
  4. I'm guessing you have a 3800?
  5. like the buzz/tap sound that every Chrysler FWD automatic makes when decelerating to a stop?
  6. at the risk of this getting too political, though everyone here seems to agree in principle the court decision is bad, what do you think of one of the 6 new campaign finance bills that just popped up. 500% excise tax on corporation campaign expenditures.
  7. and with the amount of coverage that money buys. Spending $12,000 a year on some "influencer" tweeter will get you a lot more coverage and a lot more infuance than just buying ads in newspapers.
  8. This is more dangerous today than it was back in 1907.
  9. Opinions are fine. There are opinions and there is bashing. Not personally liking a car is one thing. Hoping for it's failure is another.
  10. Not February, there is something else coming for that month.

    Kia K9

    Oh come on, you XTS haters are going to let Kia get away with this without comment? Those are some lovely RWD proportions there...

  13. I must have missed something.
  14. I'll be passing by Hershey around 10am regardless..... so if you're there, I'll stop.
  15. Just remember my age old quote "GM could produce a fully working model of Christ himself and people would still complain about the water to wine function only dispensing Merlot" Just look at the CTS-V. It smacks around the M5 in every measurable way. It took a 20 year old driving a manual M3 against a 78 year old in an automatic CTS-V to only lose by a very small margin, it has an interior that anyone could be proud of..... and yet we still have people whining about pushrods, rear sunshades and the lack of 103 way power seats and bringing up the Cimarron in the very first sentence of reviews. When us "Cadillac Defenders" see people attacking what looks to be a very capable Cadillac for it's target audience, I hope you'll understand why we see the need to push back with... you know... facts and stuff. If this really were a warmed over G-body DTS refresh, and looked the part, I'd be releasing the dogs right there with you. But it's not....
  16. It took the Camaro a week of me driving it before it would even make it to my "possibly if I won the lottery" list.
  17. I have no problems with the XTS as is, but I'd love to see this just be a design study that ultimately ends up on Zeta so a whole bunch of you can drink a nice steaming cup of STFU and still not buy it. I mean really, this much vitriol for a car that 99.9% of you couldn't afford new anyway.
  18. Congrats! uh... what are you doing on C&G!?
  19. Chicken/Egg The engines that have the fair fuel economy deficit are the relatively low compression pushrod V6es. Ethanol is effectively over 100 octane which means you can dial up the boost on a turbo quite a bit. The new Regal's turbo is going to be flex fuel from the factory which can be exciting from a performance standpoint. Imagine a Taurus SHO or Ford F-150 3.7t running the stuff with the boost turned way up.
  20. The Haldex can split torque front to rear and side to side. Now that's just uncalled for.
