    I see MB CLA AMG in the same class as GM did for Chevrolet SS cars. Performance for some, badging for others, but cheap ass cars for the common person.

    White with the Black Chrome Grill AT4 looks very Sharp!
  3. G. David Felt
    I love the look and just adore the AT4 in Black Chrome. That is what they should have been offering for years. Regular Chrome is just too much. Awesome job GMC.

    So True, plus most American Sized Trucks and SUV/CUVs will not fit on the pre-WWII roads of Europe or Asia.

    @A Horse With No Name @ocnblu This is just sexy as Hell and I would take over Ford or Ram.

    OUCH, that is just crazy expensive!

    Thank you, I can understand what you say as I have heard this from others too and yet with that I also have seen flawless use with crazy configurations. For me at home, office 2016 working with my personal Frontier Unix mail just works, never a problem really. An occasional annoyance when they bounce the server as I have to close and open again outlook to connect, but everything else just works. I will say that since at work Dell went to Office 365 globally, I really like it and have not had any of the normal quirks that show up in word, Excel, PowerPoint or any of the others. Office 365 on Windows 10 is just rock solid for the most part that I can think of right now. Unlike many, I actually do not sync my phone to my computer. So keep them each isolated and am happy with how it all works.

    That blows if it is!
  12. G. David Felt
    LOL, I feel that way every time I have to use the terrible Mac interface and trying to get it to do anything I really want. I love my Win10 laptop and desktop system. I am curious what is it about Win10 that is making you so fed up? LOL, I use a virtual Mac when I have to for my storage work and avoid the craziness of the interface whenever possible. Would rather have to work on a CentOS system than deal with Mac.
  13. G. David Felt
    Virtual Driving Machine based on a very Bloated diet of lard as they ass waddles when they move! Not impressed with the bloated weight and crazy prices to repair.
  14. G. David Felt
    About time, long overdue.
  15. G. David Felt
    +1000 I would take a CPO V over the STI any day of the week for that amount of money.
  16. G. David Felt
    So true and for an auto that requires Premium fuel and only has the HP / Torque is sad in todays Turbo 300 crowd on regular fuel.
  17. G. David Felt
    Agreed, other than Tesla, the Chevrolet Bolt and Nissan Leaf are it as far as global EVs and even then Nissan still does not have their long range out yet so you have Tesla 3 or Chevrolet Bolt.
  18. G. David Felt
    I would give ya the laugh emoji too for your post if I could, cause what you posted is what I was also thinking. Quirky, Eccentric and Different, but NOT Luxury.

    For one, the majority of people are NOT Performance People. As such, many just like the style and design of the Auto which is proved out in how well Dodge continues to sell. I honestly have not seen many Challengers in rental fleets. Chargers and 300 yes. I do agree with you that it would be interesting to see the break out for Chrysler / Dodge products in fleet sales to normal retail sales. As is proven by the continued sales, one does NOT have to always start over with a new base to continue to build a decent product that customers like. FCA has clearly as @Drew Dowdell and others pointed out take and replaced old designs with new design parts that have improved greatly the quality of the 300 and dodge cars. If they had not, we would not have the Hellcat or Demon that has done so well in those cars. Change for the sake of change is not always needed or desired. One could easily challenge why Mercedes-Benz left the straight 6 for the V6 and now is back to it. We have all seen silky smooth engines on both engine types. As such, is this just to make the world think they have something new when they really do not have their electric auto's which will truly be different ready for the market? I honestly do not care for many non american auto's but I respect them all. One has to respect what Dodge and Chrysler has done with what they have and the billions they have made even if it was wrongly taken away and put into a name brand that I think is a waste of money.

    But, But, But it was based on a SAAB? ?
  21. G. David Felt
    I get that but the doppler effect does affect the sound and while sound is faster than a Harley, the pipes would still need to be pointed forward for best effect supporting loud noise saves lives and as the fire trucks prove out, their siren is pointed forward. I still stand by that the noise of the pipes does not save lives as much as proper bright visible garments and auto driver attention to bike riders. But I get the point you and everyone else is saying. I still say that Loud pipes save lives is as foolish as costing lives.
  22. G. David Felt
    Let's start with some basic physics and a little rationality. Your exhaust is pointed backwards and by the nature of you traveling forward, you're actually leaving the sound behind you as you move forward. If that concept is confusing, think of the sound of a fire truck passing you with its siren blaring. The siren is pointed forward because the purpose is to warn driver’s the truck is approaching from behind. The next time you hear one coming, notice that it’s louder when it’s coming toward you than when it’s going away. The one comprehensive, reliable study of motorcycle crashes in this country is the well known "Hurt Report," Harry Hurt and his team found that 64.9 percent of multiple-vehicle motorcycle crashes were the fault of the car driver and “the typical accident in this category is portrayed by the automobile in traffic turning left into the path of the oncoming motorcycle.” That means the bigger danger is still ahead, not behind, but most of the racket from loud pipes is just pissing off the people behind you, while doing very little to warn those in front of you. You know what does help people notice you? Wearing hi-viz gear, adding auxiliary lighting to your bike, and upgrading your horn are all great ways to make your presence known. Not only do they do a better job than an aftermarket exhaust, but they also cost a lot less. This is found on many articles addressing the Loud Pipes Save Lives debate. Excellent Read about Loud Pipes: http://canadamotoguide.com/2016/07/29/the-truth-about-loud-pipes/

    In places with old electric infrastructure, this makes total sense. I can see this also in 3rd world areas with the grid is marginal at best with blackouts, so being able to send power back into the grid makes sense. Hot areas that have brownouts like southern california makes perfect sense for this too. Like the story says, standards is the achilles heel that can hurt this. Be interesting to see what comes of it.

    Get well, the crud and flu are going around. Take care my friend and get strong again!
  25. G. David Felt
    Nope, loud pipes cost lives, I see more people freak out due to the abusive noise of Harley's and be it pedestrians or drivers, the bikes still get hit. Tuned pipes is different, but the idiot Harley crowd seems to think ear breaking noise is best, must be deaf most of them anyway.
