    I look forward to it. Various solutions to this have been posted. Rhymed with Blight Zonda Discord. ;-) Incidentally, if you followed my posts about my recently acquired '97 Tahoe 2 door... that is a sub-$1000 purchase. In fact, even with the various minor initial repairs, I haven't gone over $1000 yet. It even got inspected. Perhaps we can watch over the next months and years just how much it costs to maintain... though I am at a disadvantage since its inherently more expensive to repair trucks and because I planned to bring it back to decent shape, instead of just getting by with it. I have to disagree with you about saying that inherently trucks / suv's are more expensive to repair. My 94 GMC Suburban LTE has been an awesome SUV. Yes I am the original owner, but no it has not been expensive to repair. I can say that the cost of maintenance is 25% of the cost for my H2 or Escalade. Also the repairs have been cheap over all and one thing I still love about it over all my newer auto's is how much room under the hood there is to do repairs / tune ups myself. Also the few things that have worn out on the inside, I have repaired myself and again the cost of parts has been cheap. The most expensive repair was the time it took to pull apart the dash when I had to replace the heater fan inside when it died and took out some other electronic parts. Picked up higher quality parts from Napa and spent a weekend doing the repair myself. That thing has a Volcano Furnace now to keep the interior nice and toasty.

    In the Midwest and Northeast a shortage of propane gas is impacting millions of homes and businesses in rural areas beyond the reach of utilities. http://www.nbcnews.com/video/nightly-news/54128520/#54128520 The polar vortex has caused price increases over 46% as a second polar vortex hits the midwest and east coast. This hits home for those that feel Propane as an alternative green fuel is causing prices to equal gas if not go higher. As an alternative green fuel that many had turned to in the 80's and 90's and with a cold winter causing homes to consume more propane than is being manufactured, does it make sense that this fuel still be a green alternative? Does it make sense to create a pipe network like Natural Gas to get propane to rural homes and allow for home fueling of propane powered autos? Sound off on how you feel about this green alternative fuel for auto's and homes.

    Very interesting. Love the G2 custom color match caliper brake kit for your auto. http://www.g2usa.com/ Will be checking this out as I would love my calipers to match my car color. Better than how they currently look. I can see for most cars if your looking to just dress up an auto, caliper covers would be a solid inexpensive way to go, but for limited production auto's or higher end performance auto's the G2 brush on paint kit looks solid. Bing it and you see many satisfied customers. For $100, not a bad way to go.

    So this Urban Dictionary was written by the drop out on the street? Even going to the link on his icon still makes it confusing. And they wonder why America cannot find enough workers who can fill the openings in the technology/science/engineering fields. That web site is as bad as the terrible Ipad Air commercial that I had to watch over and over during the football games yesterday.

    Do Coupe owners really drive around that many rear seat passengers? I suspect less than 10% of coupe owners have peeps in the back seat that often and if they do, they probably have a 4 door sedan to take everyone. It is so rare to have actual adults in the back seat.

    Lovely auto that would have been a killer Avalanche upgrade. I suspect this will be something to attract the Compact market to GMC.

    I am confused, what is Black Knight trying to say???????

    S600 Maybach might not blow up many skirts here, but compared to being a Grosser which sounds like a kids cartoon with vomit type jokes or Pullman which tends to make me think of trains, I think it is a better marketing potential than either of the other two. I still think that while there is potential for a stretched version of the S600 with ultimate interior, I am not sold on Maybach being the right top of the line package name.

    Auto Gods are sending you a message about this German purchase of yours.

    Interesting, I would have to think this will be a Trim package on the S-Class. They need to recover the R&D on those expensive recliner chairs for the back seat. I am sure the private limo business will continue to buy them.

    A modern Syclone and Typhoon would be cool...even cooler would be an Escalade V series w/ the CTS-V engine. An Escalade V was considered as they had mules running around with the Supercharged V8, but was killed due to the depression and the killing of the old GM and move to the new GM. 3rd party Superchargers on the escalades are amazing. Have a friend that like me has a 2006 Escalade ESV Platinum that he supercharged and while it requires Premium, it is freakin amazing to drive. I agree with you that they need a V series in all their auto lines. Escalade V SRX V XTS V CTS V ATS V

    Ocn stop stealing my Syclone and Typhoon line!

    So Gen Y wants a self driving car that keeps them entertained. Sounds like the spoiled brats are still spoiled. They seem to miss out on seeing the world for their beloved tech.

    I agree with most of what you post here except the following: Subaru WRX STI should be no higher than a D if that. The car looks too much like a Camry and no changes to the power train. This car should be 400HP and far more radical than it is. Porsche is over rated, should be a D, nothing new here just warmed over left overs. VW Beetle, I think is a F as they failed to deliver a dune buggy.

    Sounds Good, look forward to the update.

    It would be Cool if Chevy did the 130R with a high output Diesel that still delivered high MPG.

    Watching the video makes me want to play but the car still does not stir the soul to say WOW, I want to pay a ton of money and own that.

    Hand Raised Question - What is the difference between the 8L90 and 8L50?
  25. G. David Felt
    If GM did bid and win, I am sure a certain retired GM exec would love that to support his Corvette transplant powertrain project.
