Step 1. Remove Chrysler engine/transmission Step 2. Install Chevy 350/TH425 Step 4. Profit

I grew up smack dab between the two of you and Corndogs were an integral part of my upbringing. That'd be like saying you don't know what Pork Roll is....... psha!

As I implied earlier, she wants a BMW but she doesn't know why. If it doesn't matter if it's a 3-series or 7-series or X5 or Z4..... then truly, the only thing that matters is the hood ornament.

This is a case where if could be a rusted out old Corolla with BMW badges on it and she'll still want it. You want a G8, she wants to say she has a BMW. You buy the G8 and do a badge job... you're both happy.

I meant the Kappas.... why are the Kappas poorly conceived? They look great and sell well. Probably have a decent profit for a limited production vehicle too... all the hardware is off the shelf. XLR is a good car. It gets poor reviews because it's an in between car amongst it's competitors. It's much sportier than the Lexus and Jag but it doesn't have the HP of the SL.... but doesn't have the price tag either. I'd say the Aura is the other decent Epsilon. It's the dealer network that is failing it. The one I drove felt like a FWD CTS at a $10,000 discount. 9-3 after the refresh is also good... but it's expected to be a 3-series when it isn't intended to be by Saab. It has top notch crash ratings. Great powertrain selection. Sweedish quirky interior. No... it's not a 3-series.... that's the point. Sigma.... CTS v.1 Put Cadillac back on the car map. CTS v.2 Changed the entry lux game in the American's favor. STS.. doesn't do harm to Cadillac's image... and I've been seeing LOTS of the refreshed one around. SRX v.1 consistently rated one of the best handling mid-sized, mid-lux crossovers. SRX v.1.5 maintains the performance of the original, adds fantabulous interior. That GM didn't get the SRX product mix right is no fault of the platform. Yeah, Sigma is a total dud. And not that I'm saying the W-body is great but, Impala retail sales are still up in the face of newer cars from Ford, Honda, Toyota, and even Chevy.

the small isuzu trucks are probably a great buy as long as you plan to keep it till it croaks. Any Chevy or GMC dealer can service them.

So does the Hyundai Azera. That on the option list too?

Bangle butt Infiniti headlights I see they have the 4DSC sticker on there..... At the price the Maxima will run....the choice is Maxima.. or G8? Which is more sporty.... What's not to like?

stop rewarding companies for offshoring labor. stop allowing products to be sold here from countries that severely limit our products being sold there. Do something about healthcare.

I never really liked the either generation of the LHs, however, as the LXs age, I've found a new appreciation for the LHs. They look more modern than the newer models.

How many trillions of dollars in debt to the Chinese isn't delusional? When the only overseas markets that are open are labor markets, then yes, we need to be a bit isolationist. All I'm saying is that we impose the same rules on foreign products sold here as are imposed on our products sold over seas. I am tired of having our entire country outsourced to south east asia and then have it sold back to us at Every Day Low Prices at Big Box Mart* *Please watch the link....

The government is too dumb to fund rail properly. Every time Amtrak needs money there is moaning about how Amtrak always loses money and how we should just scrap the service entirely. Well brainiacs... how much profit does the Interstate Highway system return? how much profit do the big, publicly funded, airports return?

No Mag-Lev... far too expensive with not enough return. Maglevs cost nearly 10 times the amount of conventional track on a per mile basis. The fastest MagLev to ever run had a top speed of 581 km/h in 1999. The fastest TGV to ever run had a top speed of 574.8 km/h last April. I think I can sacrifice 7kph for a 90% cost savings and the ability to run conventional trains on the same network if needed.

Not when I become President and impose a tarrif on all cars built buy companies headquartered outside of the U.S. and use that tarrif to pay the legacy costs of the Big 3. The size of the tarrif imposed will be determined by the percentage of world market share the foreign company has. The Japanese want to play tough in their home country? So can we. Edit: My campaign slogan.... "You will buy American... and like it!"

Maybach..... not that anyone cares.

I thought that the Denali was originally designed as a Cadillac... then it was decided that Cadillac couldn't sell a truck so it went to GMC. A bit later the Navigator was released and Cadillac had an "Oh $h!!" moment and changed course again.

All brake lines <metal and rubber>, rear air shocks, possibly calipers, coolant flush and fill, inspection, emissions = $1,800 worst case scenario = more than was even spent to buy the car and all the parts needed to reassemble it.

Again, check Obama's website. He details his plan to almost boring levels. Not something you want in a stump speech. If you don't want to vote for him because of his plans, that's fine. But you can't say that he doesn't have them just because you haven't taken the time to do your research. As for actual political experience, they're about the same. Saying that Hillary's time in the Whitehouse gives her Presidential experience is like saying Yoko Ono was a Beetle.

FOG, you usually seem quite reasonable on issues so I'm a bit surprised at you on this one. Obama has very detailed layouts of his plans on his website. If there is a particular issue you have concern with, check out the "Issues" section of his website for details on how he wants to handle things. Now if you disagree with how he wants to address something that's one thing, but you can't say he doesn't explain himself. It's all written out there on his website for you. Not everything can be detailed in a speech or presentation on T.V. Look what happened to Ross Perot when he did that.

at the rate we're going we'll blow ourselves up over some petty religious squabble before it happens.

plus Lambdas plus Sigma 2 decent epsilons, plus another around the corner plus 2 good halo roadsters Plus Astra

Somebody has to date him..... edit: gosh I'm feeling snarky today....
