  1. Came across this video on how Tesla makes there auto's. Very interesting.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Lovely auto that would have been a killer Avalanche upgrade. I suspect this will be something to attract the Compact market to GMC.
  7. I am confused, what is Black Knight trying to say???????
  8. 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.
  9. Auto Gods are sending you a message about this German purchase of yours.
  10. 6.2L V8 (L86) with Overhead Valve, two valves per cylinder, variable valve timing, Direct Fuel injection, 11.5:1 compression and regular fuel, max RPM 6000, 420 HP @ 5600 rpm, 450 lb-ft @ 4100 rpm. 3.6L v6 TT (LF3) with dual overhead cam, four valves per cylinder, variable valve timing, Direct Fuel injection, 9.5:1 compression and premium fuel required, max RPM 6500, 420 HP @ 5750 rpm, 430 lb-ft @ 3500 rpm.
  11. 2013 M3 4L V8 414HP @ 8300 rpm; 295 lb-ft of torque @ 3900 rpm 2015 M3/M4 3L I-6 425hp @ 7600 rpm; 406 lb-ft of torque @ 1800 rpm plus 170lbs lighter than the previous version.
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. Ocn stop stealing my Syclone and Typhoon line!
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Sounds Good, look forward to the update.
  18. 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.
  19. If GM did bid and win, I am sure a certain retired GM exec would love that to support his Corvette transplant powertrain project.
  20. If they figure out a way to make a profitable RWD sedan for Holden, Chevy and other select badges, then all is good. I am not a fan of confusing people with FWD and RWD of the same badge name. I hope Drew is right that the Holden High Mileage FWD appliances use a different name and they keep the Commodore to a RWD performance sedan only.
  21. Interesting, I wonder how much the judge was paid under the table to throw this back to auction. Probably will go for even less and the tax payers are screwed again by the idiots in DC.
