  1. I get the point your going for, but he wanted a socialist system of equality for all even though he himself and his family did not live that way. Totally agree with him destroying the country.
  2. Ugh, Kinda expected after that rot hole stole the oil companies production facilities. I am surprised this has not happened sooner as that country will eventually implode. Socialism like communism does not work. China is not a pure communism, but a mix of capitalism with communism.
  3. @Drew Dowdell How does it compare to the Cadillac XTS?
  4. I know I am showing my age, but for those that remember the Chevy Luv Truck of the mid to late 70's. A common thing was for us to pull the Isuzu 4 banger and install a small block V8. Totally made that truck Grease Lighting! I agree with @regfootball GM has just not had the time or priority to see what it would take to cram the Turbo V6 into the auto.
  5. If you click the link and go to their site and read all about it, they rip the auto back down to the frame and rebuild it to support the power and torque and make it a hell of an off road auto. Kinda like the Hummer HX concept that I still think should be brought out as a GMC SUV.
  6. Life Time Warranties are cool, but everything wears out and I can see this bankrupting a company. In regards to sharing an auto. No thanks too many pigs that have a I do not care attitude. I like my auto's like new and am a bit OCD about them. Interesting is how Porsche style like that CUV is in the above story.
  7. G. David Felt - Staff Writer Alternative Energy - www.cheersandgears.com Jeep Wrangler on Steroids - Rhino XT Hellcat! The company, US Specialty Vehicles which has built many a trick auto for movies as well as building special lines to sell to the public just outdid FCA. In 2015 this company showed off this Rhino XT version which is available for sale with the V6 powertrain on their web site. For the latest Fast and Furious movie, they went out of this world crazy and built this unit with the Hellcat engine. Now the company has informed the public that they too can order up the Rhino XT Hellcat edition and have what has been seen on the silver screen. Yet if a 707 HP wrangler is too much for you and the base V6 is not enough you can always opt for their Supercharger Package on the V6. This takes you from the basic 285 HP by adding roughly 1/3 more power to motivate those 35" tires. The V6 edition starts at $80,735. They also have the Sport edition and the premium edition packages.
  8. Was a weird little CUV. It will sell on price alone I bet and then fad into history. Plus I bet they need to keep production going till they get the others up to speed. Makes sense as they grow their CUV fleet of Auto's. I wonder if VW will use the assembly line to then build their EV's once they have them ready for production. Then just shift the Tiguan Limited production to make EV production.
  9. Appears to mimic the Bolt in being s FWD EV powered partial skateboard platform. Interesting that the battery is so much smaller in comparison to the BOLT or Leaf.
  10. Hello McFly, did you forget to use the pass through on the rear seat and have it stick straight out the back? @ccap41 Dude I thought you lived in the 21st century suburbs not in the rednecks of the 19th suburbs? JK, but that is freaking funny and WTF post of the day!
  11. Very Cool Yes my son does not like the external style or internal layout of the Dodge Durango. My daughter has one and loves it. My son has narrowed his choices to Jeep GC or Ford Explorer Sport edition. For the GC he is vacillating if he wants to do diesel or stay hemi. Back on topic, Cruze Diesel rocks!
  12. I love to test drive auto's all kinds and yes I will roll myself up into sub compacts and compacts to see what they are like. True, at my size, most auto's are always going to be north of 50K and closer to 100K. Will say that I was impressed with the Ford Explorer Sport that we did a family test drive on as my son is considering it as a replacement for his Jeep Patriot. We also test drove the Explorer XLT, not impressed with that. Would be hard pressed to recommend it as the dash interface is terrible compared to the much better dash interface you get with the sport version. Yes another 50K SUV.
  13. Plenty of ICE auto's that I am impressed with. V series from Cadillac. M series from BMW, AMG series from MB, REAL skylines when I was in college in Japan. Corvettes, plenty of ICE auto's over the last 40 years. Toyota & Honda have nothing that is inspiring, roomy or desirable to me. I was carpooling with my coworker last night home in his new TRD Tacoma. He loves it but compared to the GM twins, you have a ok comfy seat in a sea of hard plastics and some soft touch plastics, but much to really go wow about. Course, this was just my thinking. as he loves his truck. To each their own. Have you gone out yet and actually driven a Bolt yet to give a real assessment of the auto?
  14. I would have to disagree with you as they are numb non-inspirational tin cans. Yes I have driven one and still not impressed.
  15. Weird Wednesday and it all started with RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE music on I heart Radio. Then onto System of a Down Chop Suey
  16. @William Maley Thank you, appreciate that insight.
  17. So you build a list of requirements, why use a platform that does not support your needs? Never did understand that one.
  18. I hope so, otherwise your screwed. Pretty much I thnk auto companies plan for this.
  19. Japan Pizza is crazy with seafood, mayo and so many other things. Just like out of this world sex, ya gotta try it before you knock it. 10 Crazy Pies to try from Japan. First is their Scallop Butter Soy Sauce Pizza. This pie has soy sauce marinated scallops, clams, shrimp sitting on a bed of mayo and cheese. Another Pie that I loved in Japan. Hotdog & Corn Pizza Corn and Potato Pizza Latest Craze is the Mini Hotdog Pizza See more crazy Japan Pies here.
  20. You have not had an awesome pizza till you have had Pepperoni and Pineapple. The pineapple cuts the grease of the Pepperoni and the Pepperoni cuts the acid of the Pineapple. Talk about a harmony. Very much like enjoying the beauty and essence of a Hawaiian woman! @oldshurst442 I totally agree, he has got to be very boring as Pizza is safe sex for the mouth! Pepperoni and Olives Pepperoni and Pineapple Pineapple and ham Pineapple and Bacon The list of yummy partners is endless! One that I got from going to college in Japan, Octopus on pizza or Corn and Potato. Do not knock it till you try it. Rock on Pizza and the endless toppings!
  21. Finally, the A-class has similarity to the S-class but at least is does not look like the S-class. About time MB started to differentiate the various models.
  22. Does Pineapple Belong on Pizza? So the latest battle has Gordon Ramsey saying NO and Alton Brown Saying YES. So what do you think belongs on Pizza?
  23. Maybe the Midwest and parts of East coast might not want AWD as long as they haev snow tires, but on the NW corner with all our mountains and steep hills, AWD with Snow Tires is a rockin combination for ultimate traction especially in heavy spring snow that is very wet and turns into slick compact snow / ice.
  24. Interesting, very subjective. Glad for Lincoln
