except... once your pants are on.... you ruin the largest automaker in the world. -
Don't drink the water Chris.

Chris! Why do you insist on making the birthday threads for the gay members NSFW!!?
-
Camino, depending on the dates you want to go; I'd drive out to your place, drop the car off and we can take the Acela up together.
-
I know what you're saying here, but I share the same opinion as 68 on this issue with the exception of certain Oldsmobiles. I am someone who buys new cars. From the looks of it, an '08 or '09 CTS will be my last new GM.
-
Always helpful to post the date.... for those of us too lazy to look them up.
-
GME running the show in North America will make the Daimler Chrysler merger look like a sound long term investment. I think "trainwreck" is a best case scenario under that circumstance.
-
It would probably be more acurate to call the '08 CTS's platform Sigma 1.5
-
I don't think there ever was a recall on it... but if you let it go too long the diff will have to be replaced. There is a recall on a leaky seal on your rear differential if your car is a 2005-2007. Hope that it's under warranty and take it to Cadillac.
-
It's your differential. It's a known issue.
-
what speed? does it only happen at certain speeds?

2009 Impala 50th Anniversary Edition
Drew Dowdell replied to Mule Bakersdozen LS's topic in Chevrolet
come come now. I know you like RWD, but the W-body wasn't that bad. The Cutlass was fairly popular. The Grand Prix did have some performance cred. The Intrigue was one of the best of the large mid-sized cars of it's era. And you have Grandpa's Regal when you pry it from his cold dead hands. We're not talking J-body here.... -
Look what he's been sneaking out at night to drive!!!
-
Eh, I wouldn't go around cheering this. The same thing would happen in a Tahoe 2-mode.
-
only not all that acurate
-
I think the HF would throw the balance out of wack. It's a fairly heavy engine. Put the Saab BioPower 300hp 4cylinder in it instead.

Lutz: No to small cars and diesel, yes to E-85
Drew Dowdell replied to Camino LS6's topic in General Motors
I'll just buy older cars, avoid car payments to GM <smooth move exlax> and spend the money on fuel instead. There will be plenty of used CTS-Vs, GTOs, Lincoln LSes out there when the dumb asses who just have to have the newest thing trade them in as gas approaches $10. Their resale value will tank and people like Camino and I.... who used to buy new GMs, only buy used. -
Here's the future of GM if CPF/PCS get their way:

Mini-Cooper? Astra.... if they brought the better engines over HHR SS EIEIO -

Diesel has more energy per gallon than gasoline or ethanol. Diesel can be made from bio matter. Diesel takes substantially less energy to refine than gasoline. diesel FTW. -
uh, weren't the Cadillac and Buick RWD sedans supposed to be built at LGR anyway?
-
depends how much other crap they've financed themselves into...
-
eh, FOG, I think it looks like the Malibu more than any of the Asians.
