Geneva '08 Preview
it's sharp, edge-y... i wouldn't buy it for the styling though.

the 4.9L development
3v being a problem? how, they do it with 4valves. the only thing they have to prove to themselves is it's worth the money(what, maybe make the motor $500 more expensive in the short run?), and how they set it up is reliable (this shouldn't be hard).

*gasp* you didn't mention huckabee. lol everyone should know who i'm voting for. hehe i bet 80% of democrat voters will be like... who's this Mike Gravel? no predictions from me, only hope.

the 4.9L development
before it's mass produced: could we see VVT like the 08 viper's engine? 3v/cylinder? potent closer to 350+hp and ~320lbft? *dreaming* a 3.2L (just a number gm hasn't made for OHV, in usa) or 3.7L (lop off 2 cylinders) V6 giving ~250HP or ~290hp respectivly and +1-2 MPG over current OHV v6 engines with ~6.5K redlines or turboed for 330hp / 360 hp just rough estimates (not using a calc for power gains) are we still going to have to wait for 3+ years for this v8 or will this tech be pushed up? ...maybe 2 years from now?

V-8 Camaros to be more expensive??
what if the 3.6L becomes e-85 ready, they use the 4.9L as the ~30% volume and the 6.2L as 5-10% volume?

LEAK!!!!
the nut i circled is right by the starter for orientation, also shown is the oil pan and trans pan i jacked up the car, from the front, and coolant streamed out, mostly in the area the red "box" is for a second or 2 and then almost stopped. so it's either coming from the back end of the engine, ?freeze plugs?, or from the left (rear facing) side of the engine, ?head gasket?...? any ideas?

Exxon shatters profit records
probably, but my boss's son works for marathon and helped them figure a way to have less down time in one part of the process...but marathon also had like at least a week down across all their refineries here.

GM @ Chicago 2008: GMC Denali XT Concept
quite unexpected and cool... how soon would this engine be made widely, and i guess i'm still hopelessly thinking they may make CIB V6 like this V8, but in the 3.xL range

January 2008 Sales: General Motors
hopefully starting to switch over to just one line producing W-bodies...for things to come.

GM Plans to sell Volt in Volume
this should drop if the new silicon process can be added in to making the batteries quickly/without huge patent costs.

Winter Storm
we got alittle more than that, but the roads have been cleared pretty well since yesterday ~2pm

How do you define manhood?
sounds good to me. don't want to debate this, but would the "don't taze me bro" guy fit that description (sorry first one that pooped in my head), since his fellow students just sat and watched?

Early Reactions Sour on Design of New Honda Pilot
as in size and power that is truely competitive...? were we not saying earlier the Pilot is a sad excuse for something that big...styling, mileage, and ..price
-
Stereo error
it's prolly just the damaged tape logic the stereo has... it senses if one spindle moves and the other doesn't / thinking the tape is broken, giving an error and ejecting it.
-
6th gen Camaro wish list.
ya, ever since the 80's but the switch to unleaded was prolly a very, very good thing.
-
Lutz does some quality thinking
i'm curious if we'll have an engine designed for E-85, here...?

For Those of You Who are a Little Religious..
thoughts and prayers. Know you're very lucky, still, some of us never knew one or both grandparent pairs. My dad's parents died when i was just an infant, or there abouts.
