  1. To smk for the "classy comment", No Lincoln does not make "drivers' cars". But make cars people like to be behind the wheel in but not a "drivers car", Like the MB lineup hold the AMGs. Not many automakers still make true drivers cars. Miatas, pony cars, BRZ/FR-S, most of the Porsche lineup(excluding the SUVs), GTI, Golf R, 4C, etc... There are a handful but each automaker typically only has one, maybe two. Oh, I'd even throw in the Wrangler.
  2. So true, This is why I think all the Seat belt laws are just a pure taxation / money grab on the population. You cannot nor do we need to protect society against stupidity. It is what cleans out the idiots no matter how smart they are. So freakin' true. I HATE seat belt and helmet laws. I am an avid user of both and won't travel w/o either. I put my seat belt on to move my car around the driveway out of habit but I think it is absolute bull$h! for something like that to be a law. Unless all of our insurance premiums go down because they have less medical bills to pay then it's stupid. This is one thing that gets under my skin really quick. If people are stupid enough to not wear them, let them pay the price. If somebody is that stupid we don't need them anyway as a society as they must be short sighted, lazy, stupid, or all the above. So....if it takes driver awareness to be able to have driver interaction to help autonomous driving prevent an accident....then what is the point? 1. Just be aware while you drive in the first place and cut this shyte with LCD screens and GPS maps and connectivity and JUST DRIVE the PHOKING CAR!!! Do away with all these sensors and aids that are supposedly there to help us...they dont help us...they make us rely on them and make us lazier and dumber in the process... 2. DONT GIVE DRIVERS LICENSES TO EVERY TOM, DICK and HARRY... Let these distracted and/or poor reflexes and poor judgement human beings use Lyft and Uber services if those people dont want or cant use public transportation... +1 - as I've used all of mine up today. But I am on the side of "if one person has to die to prevent others from abusing a system that clearly states driver interaction is required" isn't a terrible thing.. Yes, a tragic loss... but one that should help advance the systems and HOPEFULLY mankind.
  3. I'd actually really like to get the ole Giant Talon 2 out this weekend! My parents actually both just bought new road bikes last weekend. A pair of Giants as well. I'm more of an off road kind of cyclist... the obstacles is what makes it fun to me. Oh yeah, on a less serious side! HELLS YEA BROTHER! SHIFTIN GEARS JUMPIN ..STICKS..?
  4. Short answer, YES. Long answer, Fck yes. I wouldn't take public transportation to work as I would always have something that I couldn't get enough of. I would legitimately be excited to wake up and be able to drive for 45 minutes. I'd definitely have a little mix of everything/brand for sure.
  5. ...You also think Panameras look good.. both first gen and second gen.. so your opinion no longer matters. Here's a random though.. Olds, that Viper pic is gnarly. I dig it.
  6. So personally I use Kirkland Signature Omega 3 gel pill twice a day from Costco. Just awesome packed liquid at a reasonable price. Here is one of the better reviews and top 3 Omega 3 supplements. http://www.bestconsumerreviews.com/omega-3-reviews/ http://pthome.org/best-omega-3-supplements/ This is what I take for my fish oil. I know it's probably not the best.. but this is the one supplement that I feel is an "all or nothing" type of thing. You're either getting our Omegas in or not. http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/bodybuilding-supplements/fish-oil.html
  7. Why does a hybrid HAVE to be a step up? Or "supposed" to be a step up? And if it is "supposed" to be the step up but it is offered at base price, that should be a bonus, right? I don't see anything wrong with that. Lincoln does it with their MKZ, The S Class's base S550 and S550e Plug-in start at the same exact price($96,650). I think that is all smk is trying to say is it shouldn't be a step up in his opinion. They should offer the hybrid and 3.6 at the same entry price.
  8. Sigh.. I need more caffeine. It has been fixed. Nice work, as always, and thanks ya!
  9. It's amazing how poor Mazda sales are when they make very good products. Sad, really.
  10. No waaaaay Ford and GM sold the exact same number of vehicles this past month..and year to date...
  11. Yikes...(on the vehicle...not on you liking it...different strokes for different folks. Im all for live and let live type philosophies) Did Mazda sell the rights to their MazdaSpeed 3 to M-B and AMG? It didn't have that little ricer wing, I don't believe... I was actually more concerned with trying to find an AMG badge because I thought i caught a glimpse of the one in the grille as it passed by so I was looking for the one on the hatch as it passed. I was at a crosswalk in downtown STL as it went by so I actually got a decent look at it because it wasn't flying past or anything. I honestly never thought I'd like something like that but it did it for me. It might have been part of the roof rack because it looked less "I just have money" and more "I use this for the utility" as well.
  12. Saw a GLA45 AMG today.. Honestly.. looked pretty dang good in person. The guy had a roof rack on top(for whatever) and it looked really sporty and like "I do adventurous things in my spare time" kind of way. I really liked it.
  13. After all these years, I finally have a slight influence on you concerning bad puns and jokes! Hahaha only took about 2 years.. not too bad not too bad.
  14. That Envision is going to be a HUGE hit. Nearly 1500 in a month where most dealers probably don't even have any in yet(My local dealer for example). ATS' sales are pathetic..which sucks because I like it and want one but it's hard to find a good used one if there aren't any that sell new! Camaro's sales surprise me.. kind of.. It is a more expensive car than the Mustang/Challenger so it'll have to prove to its worth to the non-car-people. Savana is still being sold too??? WTF? Where is Ford storing these E Series and GM these Savanas?!?
  15. Hmmmm so they're basically providing Uber and Lyft with discounted and used vehicles. Or is it still a rental for the Uber/Lyft drivers? If that's the case, why would they spend 180/week = 774/month (180*4.3) on a rental when they could buy for way less than that? If they're selling them their used vehicles, it makes sense to me. If it's a form of rental program, I don't understand it.
  16. Still confused where these brand new E Series are coming from and where they're going. The only ones I've seen in the past 5 years are ones that look 15 years old and beat to $h! work vans(because that's what they are). I see another 259 jabronis are still out there. (I could probably add 413 to that but I'll just leave it at 259...) Impressive Expedition sales.. that seemed to come out of nowhere. Fairly close to a 100% gain over last June. Unedpected from the Expedition...bad pun/joke...lol
  17. Kind of random...but... I tried to build a 2016 ATS online yesterday and it won't allow me to have the "black chrome" package and then add CUE to it.. It makes me get rid of the black chrome package in order to get CUE. Why???
  18. You're drunk. Don't drive, take a cab home... Careful not to too much so you don't
  19. Only in the U.S. Other markets had the choice of rear or all-wheel drive. I have edited the story to make this distinction a bit clearer. Okay, that makes sense then. Thanks ya
  20. I thought the current E63 was only available in AWD with a permanent 33:77 front:rear split..? Or was it available just RWD outside of the US?
  21. You might be right. I know that the Black Label package includes complimentary car washes and an annual detail for the vehicle. " For your convenience, Lincoln Black Label ownership includes pickup and delivery of your vehicle for all your service or maintenance needs, as well as the provision of a temporary vehicle." That's on Lincoln's site under the " MEMBERSHIP PRIVILEGES " SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Why would I pay for Black Label service if everyone else gets it now for free? Completely agree... lol

  23. Thought you would like this: http://opendefecation.org/ Plus this Report http://riceinstitute.org/blog/new-maps-which-country-has-the-most-open-defecation-in-the-world/ Reuters covered this also. http://in.reuters.com/article/uk-health-defecation-idINKBN0DO1CC20140508 Hmmmm interesting.. I'll have to read it more later in detail as I'm working now.. Yesterday's leg grind...
  24. I thought something like this was already offered in their "black label" packages...?
