Wonder if that tapioca stuff is spider eggs since you have cobwebs.

Next Site Update
Did an update get done to the site? Seems the home page has changed from what it used to be, I now have to go to community to get to Forums and nothing shows up under the View New Content. Plus since I paid my membership to help support the site, I seem to be getting more advertisements and popups. Which is fine as I want to support the site and keep it going but the popups at the bottom of the screen are annoying.

Dodge News: The Hellcat Was Almost A Dead Engine Walking
If the engine lives on as a solid v8 Beast and does not end up as a warranty nightmare for Chrysler than this will be a legacy that last. I really hope it is the quality it deserves and last as the Car Guys need this break to bring innovation back to the auto industry rather than Bean Counters dictating vanilla bland cars.

One Year Review of my 2014 Chevy Impala LTZ 3.6L
I have to disagree. The Impala really is a larger Malibu. They are almost identical in every way except price and size. $h!.. They should have just called one Malibu and the other Malibu-L combined the sales and been done with it. Either way I have been told that the SS and Impala may be merging in a few years anyway with the latter name being put on a RWD/AWD setup. Time will tell. Malibu cannot have Accord type sales if it has to share customers divided by 3 different cars. If a customer wants a large, mid-sized or coupe car at Honda (331K YTD).. They buy an Accord. If they want the same from Chevy they have a choice between the Impala or SS(large), Malibu (mid), Camaro (Coupe) (353K YTD) I didn't even include SS's almost 3K sales. Do my best. Change of Resonator will be tomorrow with before (just Flowmasters) and after (with Flowmasters and Resonator removed) Youtube video COOL, Look forward to the video so we can hear your awesome ride! Nice Hummer by the way! I love them!

2014 LA Auto Show: 2015.5 Volvo V60 Cross Country: Comments
This makes sense to have a full portfolio of CUV's with the way the US is currently consuming them. Pictures make it a nice looking Station wagon. Seems Volvo is pulling a page from Subaru in regards to having cross functional products. Guess we will see more of these on the passes in AWD form to get one to and from the ski resorts.

Quick Drive: 2014 Cadillac XTS VSport Premium
Room, comfort and trunk space come directly to mind. The CTS is a bit cramped inside, especially the back seat. Size and space all depends on the size of the people. On my wife's side which is Korean, both the CTS and XTS are huge and have plenty of space and then you have their size which for the family is on average 5' tall. Yet on my side of the family, the average person is 6' tall a foot taller and makes a big difference. Course both auto's while nice are just too small for my 6'6" tall frame and I used to own a CTS.

Industry News: Hyundai, Kia Get Hit With $350 Million In Federal Penalties
If the EPA would do away with the stupid estimates and fictional assumption testing and do real world testing it would be far more accurate and better for everyone. Real World Testing should have the Following: 5 Mile Highway testing 5 mile stop and go highway testing 5 mile city driving testing A 35 mph 5 mile test drive A 70 mph 5 mile test drive This should give a good real world MPG testing. What else do you think should be tested for real world test MPG?

Cadillac News: Spying: The Next Cadillac SRX or XT5
But the RX and MKX are not as small as a GLK or X3, that is why Lincoln and Lexus both put an SUV below that. And what does it say about Cadillac that their 190 inch long SUV has the interior space of a 178 inch long German SUV. That is poor packaging. Buyers of $30-40,000 crossovers prefer FWD because they don't know any better. I'd suggest that the XT5 should be more of a $50-70,000 crossover with a 550 hp V-series. Then a $35-50,000 XT3 can be sold below it with a 420 hp V-series model. Although Mercedes is making a 470 hp GLK, and they'll have a plug in hybrid that outdoes the RX400h in efficiency. Give it some time and the Germans will turn that crossover segment to their favor. In the 1980s and 90s Cadillac pushed front wheel drive because that was where the volume was, then the Germans turned luxury to rear wheel drive and took all the volume and profit, leaving Cadillac, Lincoln and Acura in the dust. Cadillac has been trying since 2003 to catch up. So are they going to make the same mistake on crossovers? So then since you cannot win an argument on your German love of MB / BMW on back seat space since Cadillac has superior rear seat space in comparison to the German version you move to now attacking the added length of the SRX so that the extra protection is bad since your German version do not have it!
