  1. Chocolate covered Raisins
  2. I think GM could make a killing if you put a VOLT style powertrain in these little cars. That would make many happy I suspect.
  3. With the recovery from the storms pretty much over, people that needed to get an auto right away are taken care of and now it is focused on other things. Plus the variety of new quality cars are making people hold off on buying an older less quality auto and buy something new. IMO
  4. Interesting list, I am sure we all could come up with additional auto's that should be on the list rather than some of the ones they have.
  5. doodles
  6. Saw a Shadow being driven. Could not believe that little beast was still on the road.
  7. It would be great to see a mock up design drawing of a Turbo or Supercharged V4 FWD solution as well as RWD solution. I know you have the large fly wheel and torque converter, but I have always wondered why you have to have such a large bell type housing. Why not curve it to be more bowl shape and then spread out the gear system so you have like a fat cigar shaped tranny which would allow you to loose the large opening on a firewall and spread the tranny down the RWD tunnel. I personally think Transmissions could be better packaged than in a big bulky Bell shaped current package.
  8. Happy B-Day Zman. Hope you have a great one!
  9. William, I know you are busy but can you give us a quick review between these two? I like many are interested in your input on a comparison between these two awesome cars. Thanks in advance.
  10. WOW, what an ugly little black eye and the end of a career for a life time employee. A 44yr career down the toilet. he is roughly 66/67 years old if he joined right out of college. At this point I would say no one will touch him and he is officially retired. He also could have been the sacrificial lamb for a hidden problem that until now GM has ignored due to the way India does business. Interesting that for a man who oversaw the Northstar V8 and Premium V6 they could not find a emissions solution sooner to these little 4 bangors? Something smells here.
  11. VW is showing their stupidity, they should be working with these guys to fix the weak security issues and beef up making it even harder to break in. $76K is nothing for a criminal gang to spend if they can steal 6 cars a week and sell them on the black market. These crypto specialist are showing them that they need to not sit on their laurels and get going to the next special thing to keep these cars safe. Sounds like VW has NOT done their QA testing that well and instead of working with these bright people to fix the issues and put out upgrades to the system they would rather keep it status quo and spend money in courts to fight change. Idiot VW, this sounds like a bean counters way of thinking it is cheaper to do a legal filing than to pay these guys for their research and fix the real problem.
  12. Which totally makes sense for what you are talking about Drew with a V4 FWD solution which based on your drawing above would still have the engine and tranny sitting mostly behind the front wheels.
  13. Is it real leather? I have been told that Cadillac uses real leather but Chevy used pleather or how ever you spell fake leather?
  14. My 2006 Escalade ESV leather seats still look amazing with no cracks after 125,000 miles. Even still smells kinda new when I get in it. Course I do not smoke and mostly just drink, rarely eat in the SUV.
  15. Very much a Luxury golf cart for inner city use only.
  16. That is one bad ass looking truck. So killer!
  17. Very cool drawings, one can see how all the weight would help the tires grip.
  18. I agree with Drew, too much money for too little car and their name badge.
  19. Pigeon Shot
  20. WOW, That is one ugly car, still not a fan of it. Yet it has the BMW propeller logo on it and those tree huggers will eat it up.
  21. Very cool photo of the Olds engine.
  22. Tequila Shots!
  23. That is too freakin funny. Pretty amazing to see how well some of those cars held up. To bad they destroyed the caddy.
  24. Other than the cleaning issues, I really do hope it continues to be a smooth sailing project for you. We all deserve a break and a smooth sailing project in our life.
