I'd seriously consider a GLI, again. Especially if it grows a tad, like most every car does these days from generation to generation. -
I think either IL or MO enacted an "E-DUI" recently that covers distracted driving from phones or whatnot. I actually really like the new setting on my iPhone that it senses when I'm in a car and it won't alert me of anything. I can turn it off or open it, then confirm I'm not driving, to use it if I have to or if I'm not the one driving though. Then all of my calls and texts can go through my car anyway. Okay, I guess I was wrong and it is Washington that has the E-DUI. I guess Illinois is considering it though.

Awesome! What do you have? After my accident and getting lucky I had a witness I was like "Damn, this could have easily been a he-said, she-said situation" had one guy not stopped and said he saw everything. I definitely bought it for my own insurance and at $100 it was cheap insurance. There are definitely cheaper(and way more pricey) out there.

I'd highly suggest a dash cam so you have proof. I didn't realize my time stamp was off until I loaded that video. I'd hate for something like that to bite me in the ass. You never know if anybody is willing to stop and tell the officer what happened. But absolutely, I don't see it THIS bad very often at all. I may sound like a cranky old man but it's tempting to send it to my local PD. I'm not sure if they could or even would do anything about it but when it's this blatantly obvious it pisses me off, big time.

Oh definitely! I don't mind ppl going through while it changes.. it happens. It's HOW LATE he was that pissed me off. After my accident I tend to pay a little more attention to the left and right traffic for this exact thing. Had that silver truck started driving when the light turned green, or myself, there would have almost guaranteed been an accident. I also drive a Focus.. I can't be too fast off the line. Hahaha

GM News: CAMI Unifor Members Approve New Contract
ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in General Motors
$34.15/hr to work on an assembly line? Reason number 1 I don't like unions. -
Yeah welcome to modern n/a V6's... That's basically just what they're like in comparison to turbo 4s and V8s, let alone tubo V8s.
-
I wonder if/when the Tacoma will take over these power numbers with that 8spd. it could desperately use both that hp/tq tune and 8spd(although more tq would be better yet). Heck, even the hybrid system would be great for it. I wonder who will be the first to throw a hybrid system in their mid size trucks.
-
That's why I asked if it was intercooled. That should be keeping intake temperatures in check.
-
If it benefited that much from 91+ octane they would put that as the requirement, or 89. It's about timing and with programming these days the computer will pull and retard timing as required regardless. Is there no intercooler?

To waste money..lol

ERRMAHHGERRRDDD Hank got $4 worth of electricity and I didn't get anything! Give me more things! Sounds more like the employees are a bunch of whiny bitches. If they have a problem with somebody else driving an EV and getting EV benefits..go by a damn EV. If an EV doesn't suit your requirements then deal with it. Bingo. All their "fairness" only hurts the harder working individuals. Working hard doesn't get rewarded but doing minimum requirements gets overpaid.
-
It's brand new though so a product cycle of close to 10 years is pretty possible.. But I agree that they'll be looking to GTFO of there.
-
All of those and the Silverado isn't built here? THE volume model.
-
The original CLS is still the prettiest and set a stage for almost every mid-size sedan on the market with the coupe-sedan body style. MB literally built a new class with this car. I know even know what that class really is as it's in the middle of an E and S Class(A6 and A8, 5 Series and 7 Series). I honestly only care how this car looks because i know it'll be as badass as the E Class performance variants.

Those new anniversary editions look AWESOME!

I think you might have missed that I did say they aren't practical for everybody. I didn't say they weren't practical for everybody. Some people, they're great. Some, not so much.

Bullsh!t you have. there's zero in my town, closest is 20 miles away at a city hall to a neighboring city. that's nowhere near convenient in any plausible way. When have I ever stated that I do not WANT to charge at home? That doesn't even make sense. If I owned a Volt, that's the only place I would charge it. I'm impressed that you're the 1% that legitimately needs an AWD setup. I bet that's absolute hell getting out of when it's real nasty...
-
AWD isn't required. snow tires. Or are you buying it for the "what if" you get too much snow..? Snow tires on a FWD car are better than all season tires on an AWD car for snowy/slippery conditions. I literally give examples of distances of me to charging stations and have said multiple times that if my infrastructure around me was better it would be more viable. Until then it's basically a charge at home or not at all and I just don't want that. Rationalism? Giving legitimate reasons as to why an EV isn't practical for everybody? I'm not just bull$h!ting lies.
-
Yeah definitely not talking about overall capacity of the battery, sorry I didn't catch that in my response.
-
All of these damn auto unions need a little slap on the wrist letting them know they're employees and lucky to have a job. Manufacturing can be moved anywhere they please and other states would gladly accept the manufacturing jobs(I understand logistically it isn't that simple, at all).

I said we don't get enough snow for winter tires. We will get 7-10 days at a time in single digits-teens temps. It definitely gets plenty cold to lose range..because anything under like 50 you start losing range but much less extreme. When he reconfigured it, it jumped 10 miles. 154/238 = still only 64.7% of your supposed range. Well, when you go out and put your money where your mouth is, all you and deflt have is a bunch of fanboyisms... Find a factual argument showing me a zero to 10% loss for the cold then. THAT'S the biggest drop off, cold. Heat isn't so much, but it's there. Whether it's just having to crank the A/C up to 10 or not, your range is decreased. I've already posted links to owners of Teslas and a Bolt review stating, what I would consider, a massive loss of range. I get worse mileage in the winter in my car but I have never lost 50% range or had my fuel mileage cut in half.

Cold and heat are now out-of-the-norm scenarios, where EVs lose between 30-50% of their estimated range? Gimme the one that has a gasoline generator.
