    As of 3:40 pm today... I rolled this out of the garage and addressed the issue.

    1959-Cadillac-Ghostbusters-1.jpg

    My compliments sir, for choosing a GM vehicle to do so....I will buy Beer (or wine, IIRC you prefer wine to beer) next time I am in Pittsburgh...

    ...and thanks for posting that image...I am feeling better about life and believe it or not seeing that old Cadillac made my day!

    Make that two drinks then...three if you trade in the CRV!

    A question for all: which current (i.e. new) GM vehicle would you buy if money were no object?

     

    I will start: XT5 Premium Luxury or CT6 Platinum.

    I would buy a GMC 4WD pickup in white with a diesel/towing package...

    image.pngimage.png

    ...and I would buy a nice AMERICAN made Airstream trailer to tow behind it...!

    Escalade Platinum or CT6 PHEV 

    Escalade Platinum is an extremely nice vehicle.

    Strangely enough, I ahve seen a bunch of late model Luxury SUV's doing pedestrian jobs lately.

    At my favorite lumber yard, gentleman was loading up a $100,000 plus Range rover like it was a Dodge D150...asked him why he was loading a $100,000 plus SUV like that and the gentleman said he had three of them...the other two were for regular use...

    Helping my friend Steve rebuild his deck, was picking up lumber at Lowes Sunday and a late model Escalade had ladders strapped to the roof and the gentleman driving it was picking up building supplies...politely asked the gentleman why he was using an Escalade in that manor and he replied that it was his wife's vehicle...my wife would string me up for that...!

    Left work today for a medical appointment, dropped back by my office before going to look at a side job...on the way back here, saw a late model Navigator delivering pizza in one of the poorest neighborhoods in town...(no kidding!)

    Or the Exorcist....but I dont like this Hennessey fella! So I would rather give my money to Kevin Morgan.

    Plus, since I dont really like a Camaro, this way, its a Camaro without it looking like one and I get to save face. And yes, the 1000HP Trans Am belongs in my answer as I need to buy a Camaro from the local Chevrolet store for the conversion!!!

    Can you list which ones you think are on the chopping block?  I have my own ideas, but I wonder what yours are.

    Hopefully not the Impala...one of the nicest products GM currently makes.

    That Cadillac looks awesome in white!

    I am really starting to like the side profile on it.

    Sure..the list does change a bit-helps I hear stuff out of the plants too...

    Impy- D Ham just dropped it (and also sending it to Korea, which didn't work out) Other production is dropping fast....

    Sonic- With the being the middle child here, I hear that the might be moving something else into the plant to build. And they shipped out the "next gen" prototype too......

    Either the XTS or CTS

    Buick Lacrosse

    Not a surprising list. I've made similar predictions.

    XTS is already confirmed as a goner after 2020. 

    CTS is getting a name change on the next refresh, so technically dead, but not really. Platform is another question, I haven't looked into if it is going on Alpha or Omega.

    Lacrosse, if it keeps the name, may live on.... on another platform.

    Impala, no surprise there if its main platform mate, the XTS is gone. 

    Sonic is Gamma... makes sense to build it with other Gammas (Trax / Encore / Spark) on a continent were small cars sell really well, so I would see that moving to Korea.  BUT, that is not the same as being dead in the US. Sonic has been in the top sales slot in its segment more than a few times. 

    I expect Regal production to move to China within 5 years. They have to keep building in that class for China alone.... I expect it to continue to be sold here too... doesn't cost that much to throw a couple Regals on the boat for every 10 Envisions they ship over.

    Cascada has got to be toast. Opel built, out of date, no place to call home, and poor sales.

    Agree with ya...though I already thought the Cascada was dead....think I have seen like one in the last 6 months....

    I think people will be surprised how much may end of Chinese built....

     

    Still waiting for the move of the Cruze to Mexico...unless they want to keep bleeding money there...but At least the Nox/Terrain/Envision will end up there.....

     

    Hoping the "new" be lighter on it's feet, and the sport car it should have become...

     

    Though I hope rumor of a baby caddy will the Sonic's replacement....8)

    • I am not aware of travel cases for internal drives. Usually you have the drive and once you have made sure you own static electricity is discharged on your body, open the computer and unplug the power cable and data cable to the HD. Then you unscrew the screws holding the drive in. Put the drive into an Anti-Static bag and then usually into a box that has foam padding on all sides to protect the drive and then tape it up to close it.  With both drives in their proper storage bags, you can then have both drives in between foam insulation for handling any dropping of the box, etc. Pack them in a box and tape shut, should then easily handle going through your carry on or checked in luggage. To ship a hard drive, you need to: Secure the hard drive in its original packaging or anti-static bag. If you don't have an anti-static bag, place the drive into a zipped freezer bag to prevent any moisture getting into the drive during transit. Sandwich the drive between foam or wrap it in bubble wrap to absorb any minor shocks. Put the hard drive in a padded shipping box. Close and seal the box. Label your package. Amazon.com : hard drive shipping box This is pretty much all you need.
    • Either a co-pilot first time landing or something truly went wrong on the plane.
    • The incoming rectangular lamps on many GM cars in that era made them much more attractive.  They made a big difference. Now, as far the powerplant went, the notion of 500 cubic inches was mindboggling even during the malaise era.  If you want to see someone's jaw drop, tell a European that their engines have 8200 cc or 8.2 liters.  For those who aren't driving the occasional Mustang or Camaro you see, they freak out at anything over 2,500 or 3,000 cc.
    • Thank you for the response. I want to reinstall them into the computers, especially the "newer" one.  The old one has been a real champ.   The reason for not leaving them in the desktop is that the basic tower might have to be transported ... and not by me.  That means it will be out of my possession for a while.  Since the HDs would be traveling with me, they'll have to get scanned through airport security a time or two.  I'm guessing that shouldn't mess with the data.   I've already backed up the C drive on several large 1 TB portable hard drives.  I don't want to touch the basic functions and files on the computers since I don't know how that all works.  I stay away from the drives and files I am not familiar with. I tend to donate other things to charity.   I did give the Regal I once owned to charity.   A good friend told me that, about a month or two later, he saw it being driven around the city by its new owner and we had a good laugh. This is what I want to do.  I'm just trying to figure out if the guy or gal at Office Depot can size a case based on looking up the unit and the HD in it.  Any ideas on that part?  Or should I do that and approximate the size and weight of the part to get the cases?
    • I'm wondering about a lot of things related to this.  I am sure that, sadly, the passengers inside were jolted.  This is way different from a rough landing. Why was it even necessary to do it?  What was going on at the airport property at that time?  How does one even pull this off?  I've seen some vids of where they barely touch and then go off again, but this one looks way more complicated.
