    Continental Uncovered

    ccap41 replied to a topic in Lincoln

    I think I figured out the one thing missing from this car..something that make it look a little too bland or something. The doors/side are very flat. There are no body creases that show flow or anything(the s-class is kind of what I'm basing this off of). Without anything on the doors they just look too large and bland. Other than that, I dig the looks.

    Why are people so hesitant to pass on simple 2 lane highways? They'd rather just ride you bumper than pass. I've never understood this and it grinds my gears. This morning I had somebody close enough I couldn't see their license plate in my rear view mirror when there were multiple times they could have easily passed. Wouldn't even have been close or anything.

    It's a lose-lose. If they used the LT1 you'd be all over them borrowing a Chevy engine. But they don't use a v8 and you ask for them to use a Chevy motor.

    Shiiiiiiiiit.. I know I'd be embarrassed if I had a German luxury vehicle that a measly Nissan Titan made more power than my own vehicle..

    What are they rated at?
  6. ccap41
    Your car has less power and twist than a lowly NISSAN TITAN?!?!

    What does the G-Wagen have anything to do with the Escalade ? 4 wheels, V8, 4WD...that's about it. Nowhere near the size of a GMT900.

    How do I check? Are they at the links?

    Well, how can I apply this to me?!?! Be a recent college grad senior citizen in the military in rural Indiana with a competitor lease and same brand vehicle newer than 2009. I'm so close on all of those. Still in college, Old for a college student, I always carry two guns on me lol, I once lived in Fort Wayne, Indiana, ..I just don't own a Chevy Cruze.. Haha

    THE DEALERSHIP EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahaha
  11. ccap41
    At the time of that incident (4 years ago), this guy was 40...he had a small stroke and got shingles from the experience. I ran into him about a month ago (I'm on a gig w/ a different client in the same office tower), he's still with the same company, got a 'battlefield promotion' from that incident and no longer does death march projects. He's lost a lot of weight, after his second in-cube heart attack in a two-year period. When I worked a major bank, in a 6 month period 3 guys in my department of 25 people had heart attacks...1 fatal (was 32), and two recovered and got 'battlefield promotions'. I quit shortly after that, got tired of 65-76 hr weeks and driving nearly 60 miles a day round trip. Corporate life can really take it's toll. I'm taking daily 500mg of a prescription anti-depressant so I can sleep... Holy $h!, man. I've never been that stressed nor worked those hours in my corporate life.. It's still young though.

    First, I hope the dealer actually has nothing to do with ISIS. Second, The dealer deserves more than $1,000,000 for; 1: not doing what they said they would do upon trade-in. 2: selling a vehicle with another company's name on it, putting the guy's company's name and his own personal name essentially at risk due to negligence. What a POS dealer. He said he was attempting it but the dealer told him not to, they will do it for him. " While he tried to remove the company’s decal before the transaction, a salesman allegedly told him to leave it to the dealership to handle so as not to ruin the original paint. "

    "Once you trade in your vehicle to the dealership, you typically don’t have much power over where it ends up. And that’s usually not a problem, unless your truck ends up in an ISIS propaganda picture with your company’s decal still pasted on the doors. That’s exactly what happened to Texas plumber Mark Oberholtzer, who sold his company’s F-250 truck to a Ford dealer in 2013. While he tried to remove the company’s decal before the transaction, a salesman allegedly told him to leave it to the dealership to handle so as not to ruin the original paint. But the decal was never removed, and the truck was shipped off to Turkey before it somehow ended up in the hands of ISIS in Syria. Now, Oberholtzer is suing the Ford dealer for $1 million after his business suffered from some extremely bad publicity. ..."

    ..what..? Is this a real thing? I can lease a Cruze for less than my insurance payment?
  16. ccap41
    I actually have a close friend who would work 5 12hr days weekly and would slam monsters all day(and his other eating habits were junk as well) and he actually had a stroke a few weeks ago. He was 21. He got stupid lucky. Small, small, small stroke but still a stroke at 21 years old. It also didn't help that he's an avid nicotine user, smokes a little, vapes a lot, chews some. Not a crazy amount of any of them but between all of them it's damn-near constant.

    The minvan without sliding doors? lol Yeah, I always forget that because it doesn't seem to compete with anything, in my opinion at least. I passionately hate the Journey. It just seems so..awkward to me.. But would they be stealing their own sales from a Renegade or 500x though?(doubtful they'd steal 500x sales as there aren't many dealers around to steal from). I guess the same could be said for the Cherokee though...
  18. ccap41
    How about something a little larger more Escape/Nox/CR-V-like instead of another Renegade/500x? I know Jeep has the Cherokee but that's the only SUV of that size FCA really has. It'd put a second, more luxurious, vehicle in that class. I'd assume it would more compete with the Terrain Denali or Escape Titanium.

    I'm a daily energy drink user... I know it's not good for me but I love them. Only one a day and usually not on the weekends. Sugar free Rockstar!

    Congrats on the purchase! Heck, I would have bought the '14 Verano turbo for 16k. That's probably one fun little car.
  21. ccap41
    I wish I could say the same.. My 'Boys are in deep and look like hell. Yet they are still in the playoff picture. Talk about a piss poor division. 4-9 shouldn't be competitive in any division.

    This. I say the same damn thing about Buffalo sauce. If it doesn't taste good, than all you're doing is torturing yourself. I'll third that! That's one reason I don't like the all famous siracha hot sauce. To me, it doesn't have any flavor, just heat. I think that's why I usually lean more towards a buffalo sauce. CCAP OMG I did not mean to downvote you! Can someone please erase that, or at least cancel it out? As far as sriracha, I agree totally, that is why I use it only as an additive to other sauces, not by itself. Haha thanks guys but no worries, it's just a "vote". I still would have slept just fine tonight had it been a down vote. Lol. ...unlike a few here...

    431rwhp? That has to be a ringer. I typically don't like the theory of manufacturers sending ringers anywhere and if Hennessey bought this to study/tune it a different story but if these were given to them from a test fleet it sounds like a good ole fashion ringer. That power loss is only 24hp. No way something only loses 5%. I know modern drivetrains have advanced A LOT but they still lose more than 5%. The Corvette lost 13% and the Camaro only 5%..?

    This weather has been crazy this past week. Yesterday and today it hit 70degrees. Tomorrow is supposed to too. Middle of December and it's still 60-70 degrees out. I'll take that.
