  1. Faulty airbag switch != major engine failure
  2. That's got to be some metallurgical defect for the camshaft to snap before the timing belt does.
  3. The 307 isn't unreliable, it's just not fast. Slow and steady is the name of the game here.
  4. BV will do it with anything that's got a pulse.... and when that 4-cylinder is runnin.... well....
  5. Probably got an awesome deal on it.
  6. is it any wonder that those GSXRs sound like RC cars?
  7. I usually just say, "I'm just here waiting for my car to be serviced" and they leave me alone
  8. This is one instance where I'm siding with the UAW.
  9. Isn't Volvo the only part of PAG that actually makes money for Ford?
  10. dude could stall Duramax with his fat ass....
  11. Call around and get quotes on the cost of repair first....
  12. What about AWD for all but the lowest of the low of the DTS. Improve the Lucerne enough to take over the bulk of the FWD buyers. I think it's possible that people will still go for it, I know a guy who just traded his Maxima in on a Lucerne CXL V6 because he liked that it was quieter and smoother than his Max. He's 37 years old. I drove it yesterday... and while the engine doesn't have the zing of the 3.6, it's not at all underpowered. It is vault like quiet. After spending an hour or two driving it around, I got into my CTS to drive home..... the CTS suddenly sounded loud and raucous!
  13. People are bastard covered bastards with bastard filling.
  14. As much as I'm not a fan of the looks of the car.... I'd drive it over just about any other car out there that you can get new for $190 a month....
  15. oil supply isn't the problem causing the current run up in fuel costs.
  16. hybrid systems do most good in the least efficient vehicles. Getting a 35mpg vehicle to go 40mpg isn't as impressive as getting a 17mpg vehicle to go 20mpg
  17. It was my understanding the it was the Rendezvous that started the age drop for Buick
  18. Mercedes has had a lot of problems with reliability recently notably the C-class, M-class, and S-class when it first came out but I think things have quieted down for the S-class...
  19. a little over 300 for the transmission?
  20. None of my non-concept dream cars are unattainable.

    BV has chest hair? You're like.... 12!
  22. BMW = 2 RWD roadsters, 3 RWD/AWD sedans,2 RWD/AWD wagons, 2 RWD/AWD coupes, 2 RWD/AWD convertibles, 2 RWD/AWD SUVs <with another on the way>, 1 mini-van on the way. Mercedes Benz = 2 RWD roadsters, 4 RWD/AWD sedans, 1 wagon, 1 Minivan, 2 SUVs, 1 convertible, 1 coupe <I think I missed something> Audi = 1 hatch, 3 Sedans, 1 SUV, 1 roadster, 1 convertible Lexus = 4 sedans, 1 roadster, 3 SUVs Is it any wonder that Cadillac is getting their ass handed to them in terms of sales when their product mix is 4 SUVS, 3 Sedans, and and ultra priced roadster? Cadillac needs to match at least MB but preferably BMW, model for model.... except perhaps for the minivan part.
