  4. I'm surprised at the interior of that $44k Acura because it's not remarkably better than a $19k Honda
  5. $40,000 for that?!?
  6. OMG, I so heard Tina Fey in my head when I read that!
  7. He want's to "JDM" a C6? Good luck with that.... is he trying to make it slower? Vtec kicks in at 2300? Spiffy.... just about all V8s and most V6es... even the pushrod ones... hit their torque peak about 1,000rpm ago.
  8. Japanese Domestic Market..... or in this case, Just Dumb Male
  9. I never txt while driving.... I only surf C&G on my blackberry.
  10. Gaah!!!
  11. KYB Struts for the 01-05 Cavalier and Sunfire. If you purchase through this link, C&G gets a credit for it.
  12. I brought mine out for the House season premier.... it'll stay turned off till next week's episode.
  13. Not quite. This "new breed" of car takes an ugly but somewhat useful vehicle and removes the useful. It's the answer to the question no one asked... "What if we made a Hyundai Tiburon into a crossover?!"
  14. The great thing about these vehicles is that no matter if you pick the BMW or the Acura, either way you look like a tool.
  15. I don't own a car, but I own 4 properties. How is taxing me for road maintenance via my property taxes in any way fair?
  16. How do you plan on fairly charging the road tax to Volt drivers who have a 20 mile round trip commute and almost never use gas?
  17. It is NOT punitive! It is trying to assign a tax to you based on the amount you use the roads. If it's punative to anyone, it's the Pruis/Volt/EV-1 drivers who pay a much lower tax right now. Tell me this... is the fact that the Turnpike charges a toll based on the distance traveled + tunnel/bridge costs punitive?* *I've noticed that the cost per mile between TPK exits is higher if there are tunnels or large expensive bridges in between. Edit: I'm not saying this is a good idea, I'm just saying that it is not punitive.
  18. It's not a punitive measure. It's use based. It's actually more fair than a per gallon tax since you would pay the same tax in your Camino as someone driving a Fit if you both drove the same distance. Today, you pay more tax per mile than a Fit driver because you drive a less fuel efficient vehicle and the tax is calculated per gallon of fuel.
  19. I deleted both of those post. I know it was meant as a joke, but it crosses a line.
  20. The original Volt concept was a powertrain exercise wrapped in hot looking package.
  21. GM Adds a Third Shift at Three Assembly Plants in U.S. General Motors announces that it will bring back over 2,400 jobs to the Fairfax, Ft. Wayne, and Lansing Delta assembly pants. Today's actions, noted below, are the result of consolidating product built at manufacturing facilities that are, as previously announced, retooling for a new product, closing or being placed on standby capacity: Fairfax, which builds the recently launched all-new Buick LaCrosse the popular Chevrolet Malibu and Saturn Aura, will become the exclusive builder of the Malibu when the Orion, Mich. assembly plant ends production in November. In 2010, the Orion plant will begin retooling and make history when it becomes the first U.S. plant to produce small cars to be sold in the U.S. market in 2011. The new shift at the Fairfax plant is scheduled to begin in January, 2010. Ft. Wayne will add production of heavy duty pickups (Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra) from the Pontiac, Mich. plant that will close the end of this month. The third shift is scheduled to begin in April, 2010. Lansing Delta Township, Mich. will add the Chevy Traverse which is currently built at the Spring Hill Assembly plant in Tennessee, which will cease production in November but remain on standby capacity. The new shift at the Lansing plant is scheduled to begin in April 2010.Discussion: GM to add third shift to three plants
  22. that's because one by one the aliens steal your braincells.
  23. Pushstarting by coasting in neutral? There was something more wrong there than just an overheated engine......
  24. 1. shift to neutral. 2. click engine off 3. click ignition back on 4. press brakes
