    My desktop at work is still saying the server is down (moving to a new server)but the site works from my phone. Just a heads up incase this isn't isolated.

    I noticed the same thing but this is going to happen after several weeks of very intense discussions across multiple threads. There is always the "letdown" period before it seems to start back up again. It also happens when the repeating trolls get set aside for their actions. That does tend to pare the posts down because no one has to deal with the trolling BS afterwards until it all starts anew on the next "My Ford is better than your Chevy" (and vice versa obviously) or "Cadillac sucks because they can't blah blah blah" thread. The other factor is that those kind of threads can get a little tiring to see the EXACT same "arguments" made time and time again. Yeah I have noticed most of exactly what you described as well.. it just doesn't usually get quite this dead. But then again when searching the magazines' websites there wasn't much good there either to talk about anyway.

    There is just something about how Kia does their grilles that just look so cheap and crappy to me. I think Kia and Hyundai need complete refreshes on their noses because neither make junk anymore. They both make respectable automobiles and with similar language as when they made crap it still gives off a bad vibe...well to me at least..

    I noticed that 7200+ pounds as well. That's freakin heavy. What are the HDs for the D3 weighing around? I also don't think it is a bad looking truck in person. It's actually pretty good looking in person. Pictures definitely don't do it justice.

    That crap is bad news. LNG powered ships are being proposed to make marine propulsion more environmentally friendly. http://fortune.com/2015/07/23/natural-gas-fueled-shipping/ I guess I'm missing something? Why is it bad news? If LNG is cleaner I would think that's a good thing. You also forgot a pretty importance piece of the above paragraph, "the ships are expected to produce 98 percent less sulfur oxides, 71 percent fewer nitric oxides, 71 percent less carbon dioxide, and a jaw-dropping 99 percent reduction in particulate emissions, all while increasing the vessels' fuel efficiency compared to conventional diesel engines."

    I read this last week and I thought the IDEA is freakin great! I know it would be difficult to get up and running but if they would work a deal with a major company running very similar routes and build a refueling infrastructure around that I think that would be a great start. Plus, 1200 miles of range? It isn't like the refueling stations need to be too close together. I you could eliminate/cut down the pollution of even 1 out of 100 semis on the road I would have to believe that is a pretty decent amount of crap kept out of the air in a year's time.

    Dfelt nailed it with the plum interior!!! I freakin love that color, especially for leather.

    Depends. My magic can be a little "erratic". Lol well.. I have a picture of my friend who just bought a V6 Camaro(I know.. I know.. ugh..the guy who used to have an HHR SS and 1997 Z/28 Anniversary Edition. Onl upside the the Camaro is that it's a 6spd. Oh yeah, it's a 2011) but I wanted to Photoshop a mullet on him and then add a picture of the car in the background or wherever really.

    If I didn't go with an F-Pace I would be in probably the same thing as you, Frisky. Same matte bronze accents probably a darker grey if they offer one though but I REALLY like the Grand Cherokee and I have for awhile. Buuuuuut... If this is a fantasty world and I don't have to take it in for repairs weekly because it is a Jag... I'd go with an F-Pace, 3.0 Supercharged, 340hp/332tq. It would have to be Jaguar Green(as I call it) accented in black. They offer a "black accent package" that put me over by like $200 bucks but I can paint the chrome in the grill and side vents myself at a later date. And what it will look like once the grill surround and side vents get painted:

    ^ That looks really really good.. but that wing is just a little much. Tone the wing down a bit and that's a near perfect Fox. Simple, clean, yep.

    Do we have any Photoshop wizards here?

    http://www.automobilemag.com/news/porsche-pdk-shifts-slower-2017-chevrolet-camaro-zl1-automatic/ "When the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 hits showrooms later this year, it’ll be the automaker’s first car to get the new ten-speed automatic, a transmission Chevy claims is so dialed in that it shifts faster than Porsche’s outstanding PDK dual-clutch gearbox. Chevy previously claimed its new ten-speed was a quick shifter during our ride-along in a Camaro ZL1 prototype earlier this year. Now Chevy has numbers to back it up. Based on Chevy’s own testing, the 2017 Camaro ZL1’s automatic shifts from 1st to 2nd gear 36 percent quicker than the Porsche PDK. The automaker claims the 2-3 upshift is 27 percent quicker, while the shift from 3rd to 4th is 26 percent quicker. Those differences may very well be imperceptible from behind the wheel, but every millisecond counts when you’re launching off the line. ... " Read the rest at the above link.

    DUDE! That was the first thing that I thought of too! Release a story to make their stock plummet and then buy it up when it's dirt cheap. No. This morning at a press conference, Mitsubishi Motors chairman Osamu Masuko said a takeover was going to happen sooner or later. Plus, Mitsubishi already had a connection with Nissan concerning kei cars in Japan and they were in talks about extending this partnership. Whether they intended to sell or not is not my issue. I understand that completely. However, hat doesn't mean that Nissan wasn't looking to get a better deal. Letting the fuel controversy slip out prior to the buyout seems to lend some credence to it but maybe I'm just wearing my tinfoil hat a little too tight in regards to this. +111111111 I just got fitted for a new tinfoil hat this week so I know mine is fitting perfect but I just can't seem to take it off..

    Do any of the 2.0T from any manufacturer get the mpg they're rated for? I mean every company offers a 2.0T at this point, including MB, BMW, Audi(I guess they're going to a 1.8t?). Do any of those get the job done?

    I'm glad you posted that because I read through a fair amount of that detailed report but I had no way to copy and paste it from my work computer.

    One of the two links provided said it was not in production yet, still building the site unless this is outdated info, but even then, they should be able to ramp better than if the building part is done. Scroll way down towards the bottom and there is a little more info on the Gigafactory. It's pretty amazing how large it will be and how small what IS there really is in comparison. "Twenty-five miles east of downtown Reno, Nevada, in the rolling hills south of Interstate 80 sits one of the largest graded construction pads ever made. On this site, Tesla has been busy rapidly constructing a behemoth of a lithium-ion battery factory that will eventually be one of the world’s largest buildings. The fully realized factory is not scheduled to be finished until 2020, but already the structure is big by any measure; it’s currently running 24 hours a day and producing Tesla Powerpacks and Powerwalls. Eventually Tesla will make Model 3 battery packs at this building, dropping the cost of Tesla batteries by 30 percent. Here are some gigafacts to wrap your head around." http://www.motortrend.com/news/tesla-model-3-photos-analysis/

    The gigafactory is in production but not at full production levels.

    Yeah I saw the driver rear lock up for just a second. Could be many things but on that turn it is the inside tire so might be as simple as a tad too much rear brake dialed in. It really did take a decent hit and I know we didn't see the wrecked side much but still seemed pretty solid.

    First off, I realize 'it happens'. I'm not doing to to "rub it in" or whatever. It's going to be a bad-ass car. I just thought it was a little funny to watch and others might crack a little chuckle as well.

    Not a good era for cars.. but doing a little research I came up with either a Bronco(because they're just gnarly and really cool to me) or a Mercedes 190E 2.3-16(because it's just an awesome car and the competition it brought on with BMW was pretty epic. http://www.motortrend.com/news/13q1-mercedes-benz-190e-vs-bmw-m3/ It's a small car for sure at only 174.4 X 67.2 X 56 (L x W x H). For comparison the ATS sedan I'm looking at is only 183″ L x 71″ W x 56″ H and it's not a big car. I think the smallness would make me at home and the capabilities of the 3030lb car would make it a blast running to the red line north of 7000rpm. Ps. I don't know why it started spacing my lines like this but I don't know how to change it back.. It must have kept the formatting from a copy and paste.

    I think I'm with Drew here. That's possibly the only gen Camaro that never really did anything for me(okay not a huge fan of the 5th gen either but that's for another time) and I always thought the RX-8 was a pretty sharp car and a few small mods would clean up the look fairly easily. I also agree with Molty, 3rd gen RX-7 is hands down my favorite but that's not included(NOR ARE THE '74-'77s!!) but it would be tough to pass up some V8.. I think if I drove both bone stock I would enjoy the Mazda more and then some clean and simple mods would make me like it a lot more. So while looking for some pics of some RX-8s I came across these first two.. good lord. I don't understand this "stance" thing. I mean they literally look like they broke $h!. Now for some that I would actually like to own.

    ATS/CT6 short take

    ccap41 replied to ccap41's topic in Cadillac

    Ummmm……. I don't see it as an issue at all because at this price level the car is custom made to exactly what I want and if I got in it and there were all sorts of misalignment issues I'd just tell them to do it again and pick it up in a few weeks and in the mean time I'd be rolling around in my last gen Maybach.
