  1. Since they can make the heavy Hummer get 100 MPG as a hybrid, you would think the G8 could get 150MPG in Hybrid mode. I agree with you it would shave off some serious 0 -60 time.
  2. Interesting concept, I would strongly suggest and hope they will go aftermarket and when the OEM see's the benefits to their cars and trucks done by the owners, then they will realize the benefit of using the system. Be interesting to watch.
  3. Princesses
  4. We'll Lee Johnson Chevrolet just got their lone Camero in today. Price: $27,945 Exterior: Black Interior: Gray Drive Wheels: RWD Engine: 3.6L 6 cyl Fuel Injection MSRP: Contact Us Stock Number: C100001 VIN: 2G1FB1EV0A9102753 I bet they jack this up by 5 grand over the selling price. Maybe I will stop by and check it out.
  5. Tasteful
  6. That was a good one,
  7. If you do not mind telling me the general area you are planning to visit, I can post a list of some really yummy places to visit.
  8. Personally I suggest you wait about a year and you will have a ton more options. If you really like projects and cost is not a big issue, then go for building your own or doing it with a kit car.
  9. I agree that their Zuppa Toscana is an awesome Soup. The all you can eat Soup and Salad is one of the best deals. I love the Garlic bread sticks also. Course being a chain, some are better than others, but the one here in Lynnwood Washington does excel above the average. In regards to best Pizza Place: Pizza Bank in Kirkland Washington. The place actually used to be a real bank, their food is awesome. Pies are hard to beat and none of the mass chains can even hold a stick to their pizza. Worst place: Sherries, on par with the dirty Denny's both are pretty sad. Best steak place: Daniels in Bellevue Washington. Their Filet and Porterhouse are amazing. Best Seafood: Just about any place here in Seattle, but I think the best is Palisade Waterfront Restaurant. http://www.palisaderestaurant.com/ Best Fish and Chips: Spuds Fish and Chips in Juanita Bay, Kirkland Washington. We'll will add more later. Gonna go grab some lunch.
  10. AGREED, Leave it alone, the DEXCool is excellent and does not have the issue GM ran into in the 90's. Those that have tried to change back to the Traditional GREEN have actually run into more problems as it is almost impossible to get all of the DEXCool out of the car. Enjoy your new baby and let the DEXCool do it's job, you will be very happy with it.
  11. I see your point, For me, I do not see GM having Hummer or this Awesome Hybrid. I see Raser buying the line and turning it around as a quality Hybrid Line of vehicles. Interesting is on their web site today they have posted a flyer showing how this whole drive line could go into a GMC or Chevy pickup truck or SUV. Clearly they have their eye on supplying an auto maker with their version of a hybrid system. Nice to see this show up next year in som GM products. Allows us to Kick Toyota Ass!
  12. This Hummer keeps the same towing and off road capabilities. Raser says this has everything that makes a Hummer a Hummer plus the Hybrid to save you a fortune in gas cost. Yes, this is Real. Raser has a large amount of Coal burning, energy production plants, Geo Thermal plants and Natural Gas plants. They have the backing to make this happen. I disagree, I like the Hummer vehicles and would love it even more to have one like this that can kick the greenies back to the curb. I would have no problem if GM got apprval to do this to Chevy & GMC mid size SUV/CUV vehicles. Any way you look at it, this is a good thing and major change that will only help this country I think.
  13. That one is surprising as I do not see what is to be boycotted about coors. Anyway, Rocky Mountains.
  14. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/3677250#30518064 So I have updated the link and it should work now, sorry about that. I have also printed it here so you can cut and past it into your own browser. Enjoy, Here is the web site for the company also: http://www.rasertech.com/media/videos/the-electric-h3
  15. I like it and would buy one. I wonder if Raser will become the new owners of Hummer or if Obama's auto task force will change their mind and say keep it and build only Hybrids and diesels or what? Some interesting info. I love the video on the web page of the Hummer actually working in the real world. Pretty cool. Wall Street Showing of 100 MPG Hummer and Interview with company Raser Tech
  16. 100 MPG Hummer Hybrid from Raser Tech Raser Technologies UNVEILS 100+ MPG PLUG-IN HYBRID Hummer at THE SAE World Congress IN DETROIT Technology in New Electric Hummer Could Drive Bold Leap Ahead for U.S. Automakers, Making Popular Trucks & SUVs ‘Greener Than a Prius’ Raser Technologies, Inc. unveiled a 100+ mpg Hummer H3 powered by Raser’s plug-in hybrid E-REV (Extended-Range Electric Vehicle) at the 2009 SAE International World Congress, Cobo Center, Detroit, MI. Raser developed the 100+ mpg Electric H3 demonstration vehicle working closely with Hummer. Just one year ago at the 2008 SAE World Congress, Raser and its development partner FEV Inc., Auburn Hills, MI, a leading automotive integrator, introduced Raser’s E-REV power train, similar in function to the Chevy Volt but designed for use in a variety of larger full-sized SUVs and light trucks. The vehicle was developed in association with the Plug-in Hybrid Development Consortium, co-founded by Raser along with leading electric utilities, lithium ion battery companies and other automotive technology companies. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS, Would you buy this?
  17. I think you need to look Green my man and show the world the way! Raser 100 MPG Hummer Hybrid
  18. Personally the issues they have with the Caddy is nit picking as they are preferances in regards to the seats and head rests. The rest of the fit and finish is also really stretching it. I personally do not like the BMW layout of the dash or the feel. So far all the cars I have been in and looked at have had a plasticy cheap feel and look compared to my caddy's. I will stay with my American Luxury Auto's, supporting my American companies.
  19. This will be interesting to watch. Why a car company would want to buy up money loosing operations that have really never produced a profit is beyond me, but if they can do what GM could not then more power to them. Course the unions in Germany are apposed to the deal as they will get busted eventually. I can see closing down the saab plant and some of Opels plants as they consolidate and get the product lines profitable. GM should have done this long ago instead of caving into the unions. You have to have balls to play with the big boys.
  20. Awesome, thanks for sharing DF.
  21. That is such a slap in the face to GM, so much for supporting America.
  22. I coudl buy that reasoning, what about Buick picking up the performance side so they have a mid lux auto side and a mid lux performance car side. What about thoughts on that?
