  1. *sigh* I know....it's just an old name and now I dunno what to change it to...
  2. It's rather easy Fly. Step 1: Collect underpants Step 3: Rebuilt Carb!
  3. Quixtar is the Scientology of capitalism.
  4. if I weren't selling the Avalanche, I'd buy it's version of this. still, I get away with just leaving the tonnue covers on and sleep on an airmatress with my head in the cab.
  5. 6 bucks gets you.... half a block? J.C. Whitney, start your engines!
  6. What kind of asshole parks a FourTwo in such a manner that it STILL takes up two parking spaces?!?
  7. May 2007 in D.C.
  8. I'd like to see Cadillac offer a smaller displacement + hybrid rather than keeping the same displacement + hybrid.
  9. I've always hated the "Fuel Injection" or "ABS" on the outside of the car. To me, those make just as much sense as "60/40 folding rear seat" or "Power steering" would. I can understand V6 or V8 <and Ford's V8 symbol is the best, Cadillac's Northstar symbol is the worst>, and even 4x4/AWD <Honda's SH-AWD is disqualified for being a stupid name>. It's the cluster of plastic lettering that says "&#036;h&#33;! We built it, but now we have to tell people what it is!" on the trunk lids that looks like ass. Putting trim levels on the outside is stupid if the trim is only a group of meaningless letters <SS, R/T don't count since those are acronyms>. Who really cares if it's a Taurus GS or LX or ZZ, or UGLY? Only one manufacturer currently can get away with a letter designation like that and it's Chrysler with the "C" on the 300. On the other hand, if manufactures use a name instead of a meaningless letter combo that would be acceptable <i.e. 300 Touring, LaCross Super, Vue Red-line> Sorry Acura and Jaguar, the word "Type" is now dead. Blame Jaguar... they killed it with the S-Type R Even the on car I've owned with the longest "name" still managed to include the entire name on the car without being gaudy about it. Oldsmobile Toronado Caliente.... Oldsmobile was on the front fender just behind the wheel... where the GM badges are now Toronado was on a piece of 1 1/2 inch tall brushed stainless steel trim across the back of the trunk Caliente was on the b-pillar Sorry Fly... your Bonneville SSei-ei-oh gets swept up in all this mess.
  10. "The Tundra is not your father's truck because your father's truck can kick some serious butt!"
  11. Mass Airflow Sensor
  12. I think Cadillac let go of two very good slogans. "It's good to be the Cadillac" and "Any American, who ever had a dream, dreamed of owning a Cadillac"
  13. Simple. Nissan has the Xterra and Murano and Pathfinder. Toyota has the Highlander and 4 runner, Ford has the Taurus X, Explorer, Edge, and Flex <coming soon>, Chrysler has the Duragno/Asspen and Pacifca. If anything, this is GM catching up to the rest of 'em.
  14. those are for your PennDOT contractors getting the absolute cheapest full sized truck possible.
  15. Drew Dowdell

    RS6 Audi

    I'm not buying that the AWD system or automatic could handle 721ft/lbs.
  16. I"m not a fan of these earlier G-bodies.... I liked them after their mild refresh. These look like they weren't quite done cookin. Still, extremely nicely preserved.
  17. you take the oil back to the autoparts store to be recycled. it's free here.
  18. That is inspiring. Thank you for that.
  19. uh... what? :blink:
