    Trivia Tuesday June 2 2015

      Who's Who in Automotive History? Do you know?

    This one is a 'match em up' : see if you can match the names & the faces of these early GM figures! Try and not google them; challenge yourself, or just guess blindly (why not, most of the U.S. Government does ;) )!

    Going to take Trivia Tuesday on a break for a bit, sit him down in the sand under an umbrella by the salt water & watch him built a sand castle replica of the General Motors Building.

    Will be back with more in the near future!

    • Nope have not missed those, the V8 mess at GM is another reason I choose to not go back to the General, too much poor-quality control and sloppy sales at the dealership has made me choose the direction I have gone with the EV9. Sadly while the news of people unhappy with the GM V8s has made the rounds, GM seems to be avoiding a true recall. Not sure how this will affect them in the long haul as I have to think customers will remember and avoid the Hybrid / EVs of GM due to the problems with their V8s. Please post the press release on the recall from GM as I have not seen any, nor any media saying GM is doing a recall, just stories about unhappy folks and their V8s. Thank you, Happy 4th to you and your family, may the kids enjoy it.
    • Correct, those were EV9 recalls, but lest you think I would just give Kia a blanket pass, their ICE have had large issues with the engines and I would not tend to recommend them for the most part. That was the point I was making on an expanded response. Just as Toyota is replacing lots of engines, Nissan announced today they have a huge engine replacement now due to poor manufacturing as I posted in the random channel.
    • They're joining Toyota and General Motors. I'm not sure how the well-known issues of the 6.2 have passed over you.   
    • Nissan is joining Toyota in engine recalls, engines failing due to poor quality internal bearings and other parts, engine replacements Nissan said in its announcement that 443,899 vehicles have been recalled, including: 2021-2024 Nissan Rogue – 348,554 vehicles 2019-2022 Infiniti QX50 – 84,536 vehicles 2019-2020 Nissan Altima – 5,685 vehicles 2022 Infiniti QX55 – 5,124 vehicles Nissan recalls over 440,000 vehicles. See the impacted models. Seems Tesla sales dropped 14% for the quarter, greater than the estimated 11% drop. Tesla Second Quarter 2025 Production, Deliveries & Deployments | Tesla
    • Its scary how bad the ICE quality control is with Kia. New Santa Fe is not bad looking but I would rather shoot myself in the nut sack with a rusty bullet than buy one for sixty months on a note.  Most of us here lack much of a grasp on reality, its what makes this place fun. Were we all to have a grasp on reality, we would be the beige Camry owners club.  Its passed the F150 as the best selling car for a reason. Everyone I know that owns one loves them. Most of the Kia and Hyundai owners I know finished cashing the check from pick and pull after the transmission went out after the warranty ended.  And if anyone thinks I consider myself more sane than anyone else here,  Soy lunático tambien!
