    Apparently we are using more than our allotted "slice" of processing power on the server. The search function exacerbates the problem.

    from my unscientific testing. yes. I don't know if you remember about a month ago I told the board I wanted a Toronado Caliente and a pony...... well, there as a small bit of information I got from Fly combined with a suspicion I had about the cause and I basically narrowed it down to the search function.

    I almost want to join up just to tell him what a dumb $h! he is. I wonder if he piped his ass back into his mouth if it would make him any smarter?

    Whoever is trying to use the search function is hereby sentenced to drive an '89 civic with a bad clutch for the next 10 years.

    One thing I noticed while I was in Europe was that even though the exchange rate might be different. The numerical values for things stays fairly close. If you make 50,000 dollars for a particular job here in the US, it's likely you make about 50,000 Euros for the same job in Germany. Same thing seemed to be for housing. If just looking at numerical value, Cologne really isn't much more expensive to live in than Pittsburgh. That said, a Focus starts at 14.975 euro.

    They seem to be doing quite well. They keep winning the "battle of the bands" contests that they participate in. I would imagine they will still be performing next time you're here.

    No, I think it would be slightly higher than the current version... and with good reason. Plus then the Fiesta can slot in underneath it.

    Duplicate the tooling and put it in whatever plant the focus is being built at now. The car doesn't have to be imported... just the design.

    I think EMD as a hybrid trimline would work nicely. The first think you think of is a locomotive <powerful>, EMD was founded by GM <heritage>, and EMD can stand for Electro-Motive Drive keeping it in hybrid context AND would fit well with the ESV and EXT suffexes for the other models of Escalade.

    Buying a GTO and trying to tune it for fuel efficiency is like buying a Civic and trying to tune it for speed.
  12. Drew Dowdell
    Fixed. Had Ford brought over the Euro version, it would have been a substantially closer contest.

    I think Cadillac needs to come up with it's own "brand" for it's hybrid vehicles much like Saturn has it's Green-Line.

    ah, different Levittown than I'm thinking of.
  15. Drew Dowdell
    I can't imagine you drive all the way to Levittown just to go to a gay bar when you're at close as you are to Manhatten

    If I were the customer, I'd make the dealer fix this before I signed my name on anything. If I were the dealer, I'd be embarrassed to even have that on the lot like that.

    pfft.... just get a Type-R sticker for your rear quarterpanel... that's good for at least 10-15 hp.

    Can you imagine how hot a piano black finish with a raised Cadillac emblem on the LCD lid would look?!?

    it's was actually fairly tame. Friends are having a party for me on Sunday since a wednesday night thing usually isn't all that fun. After work I went to the Carnegie Music Hall to watch CelloFourte perform. Just prior to their start they snuck in a happy b-day on their cellos. They also gave me an autographed, framed, picture of the album promo shot coming from their next album in January. Afterwards I went out for drinks with a friend... then home.

    I have that Ferrari. Typing this post with it. Have the mouse too. It's been a very good machine and always gets comments if I'm out and about with it. I'd take a Cadillac branded one..... in black of course.

    Replace the 1.8 with a 2.0 litre turbo diesel and watch revs go down and milage go up.

    it's like they tried to use every Toyota design "cue" in one car. I see Prius, Echo, Camry, Yaris at least......

    The center IP stack is terrible. It looks like a single DIN stacked on a double DIN with Nav screen topping. The right side of the dash was stolen out of an XJ, the steering wheel was stolen out of your daughters Celica. About the only interesting thing about this dash is the instrument pods, but everyone is doing that tunnel effect now and in this case it doesn't even fit with the rest of this dash/car.

    You know, I read that this morning and thought nothing of it. It took me till 5pm today to get it.

    I think we need to now label this thread NSFW.
