  1. Yup, he has failed and left many with being pushed into bankrupcy all at others expense in building his own personal wealth. He is a man that knows nothing of how to build and grow a profitable business. He is no different than the Idiot Hillary and all the other DemoBots and RepuliRATS that also know nothing of how to work within a budget. So far 2016 is looking to be a year to pick the least of all evils as we currently only have morons running for president. Isn't this the same every election for ANY politician..ever. ? They are all crooks and liars.
  2. Does Ford have a small CUV planned like the CX-3/HR-V/Renegade? It seems like most automakers have a little guy except Ford. GM has the Trax/Encore, FCA and the Renegade/500L, The above mentioned Japanese ones.. Not Ford?
  3. @Stew: lol yeah a little.. I guess I never really thought of it as raspy but it isn't high pitched like other small dogs where it is nearly ear piercing.
  4. The only part I disagree with is ^ AMG care are completely redone, suspension ->engine. They are gaining "AMG sport" or something stupid like that to compee with the "M Sport" packaged cars which I think is pretty stupid. Other than that.. Completely agree , man. I feel like it is just going to take time.. Like somebody else said in here they they can't just whip out 4 variations within the first model year like BMW/MB do, they need to though. It's the AMG-Sport thing that he's talking about. Mercedes is successfully diluting the brand by offering AMG appearance models without the performance upgrades the full AMG models get. Cadillac at least gives the V-Sport models a substantial performance boost even if they're not the full power V-Series model. Oh, definitely agree then. I don't like the whole "AMG Sport" and "M Sport" thing those two have going on. It is basically the ricer version of lux cars. You cna buy a fake AMG/M instead of having to have mommy and daddy buy you a body kit. Stupid.
  5. ^ Yeah.. but the variety in RUF cars is nowhere near what I would like to see in Porsches. I'd like a couple modern 911s and Caymans. Man, I need to get one of those wheel/pedal setups. I assume you need like a desk for something like that right..? I used a wheel once long ago and it didn't have force feedback and was terrible. But that was years ago.
  6. Your points are valid to a point. 1) Absolutely. I am seeing effin Mustang ads every freaking day. Had the same momentum of the ATS ads, in the beginning, kept up, then their sales would be double. Speculation yes... but I saw a great deal of excitement seeing the ATS racing down the mountain side in Italy(?) a few years back.. "Robot Arms" would have been fine had a celebration actually been in order. The CTS, on the other hand started off with one commercial that I remember and haven't seen since... the "Moon Shot." 2) I don't agree with this at all. The ATS is necessary and should be fleshed out. A beautiful car left bland in anything not incorporating full fascia. The LED vertical front lights should be across the board at Cadillac. The ATS should have had a convertible ready for Summer. A Wagon. A Hybrid. It is possibly the most important car at Cadillac in convincing the masses that Cadillac is no longer "snooty and old luxury." In view of sales the proportion of sales is on point with the CTS tho. Eclass sells almost 45 of what the C-Class does. Same for the two Cadillacs. ATS sales need to go up though, but they could do this by advertising it and offering more desirable options. Great looking? Yes! But when the CTS goes to battle, it needs something more to stand on....and be able to show it. Heck, the V series used to a big deal......but the people I talk to just don't talk about it like they used to....that-needs to change. The MSeries used to be a big deal.. most non-enthusiasts or even actual enthusiasts over 45 don't kno that it even exists. AMG is so muddled and over-used it is about as special as saying I drive an LTZ Impala... What the CTS needs is the cars that it had when it was selling 40% more than it is now. Its the most OBVIOUS thing in the history of man. I'm selling 4 different versions of a car, and those version make up 40% of the volume of my sales. I STOP.. making those cars... and then so called ANALYST can't seem to get it in their heads WHY sales would be down. I think Cadillac knows this actually. I think they just don't MIND considering the car is not long for this wold and the next CTS will be sized slightly different (interior) to address they bitching going on by the media.. who suddenly is more interested in backseats than dynamics.

  7. Hahaha Yeah I'll take up with our on my chest lickin my face.. The short/puppy cut looks the cutest too, for sure. Hang in there man. Agreed with 'Bong.. Hang in there and do your best to keep your head up. It isn't always easy to be positive, but you have to in tough times..
  8. Yes, I spent quite a bit of time there in my early 20s. I'm sorry to hear you're feeling that way, buddy. You have to dream big and keep hope alive. Stay active and busy, then find small victories in life you can hold onto. Enough of those small wins can really add up positively in your life: organize your room/garage/living space, learn something new, save up a tiny bit of cash every day to buy something you want, whatever is important to you. Another thing that's always been hard for me is letting go of the past when it holds you back like an anchor. Yeah, I have GT6 and the G27 Logitech racing wheel. Funny thing is, I only played the game for a couple weeks before it got shelved because my cat was in a wire-chewing phase and then we moved. Plus every time I looked for a specific modern car, I came up empty handed and it reminds me that it's still essentially GT4 with MAYBE 100 legitimately new cars (and I'm being generous) spanning 2004-2013. No meaningful DLC packs or anything. It's a f@#king blast playing with the stick shift and clutch pedal though. Yeah the cars are about as disappointing as it gets. of the 1200 cars 100 NSXs, 100 Miatas, 100 Civics, 100 GTRs, 100 S2000s..You get the point.. I honestly think 100 is an overshot. I don't think there are 100 modern cars on that game. Even Mustang on it is an '09. Well in GT6 they did add the Boss302 and GT500 which I really liked but there are just sooooo many of the same car with different stickers on it and less actually different cars. I still rock the ole controller.. lol I just don't have anywhere good to keep/use a wheel/pedals. Here's my short list of anger-inducing missing cars: Chevy Cobalt SS Turbo Saturn Sky Redline or Pontiac Solstice GXP (not the ugly concept they have in the game) Pontiac G8 GT or GXP Chevy Camaro ZL1 Any V-Series Cadillac besides the CTS-V Coupe Acura TL Type-S Honda Civic Si Audi RS5 (or again, anything recent from Audi besides the TT and R8) MazdaSpeed 6 Oh that's just a tiny list..And I agree with all of them I, obviously, always wanted an 03-04 Cobra, More modern and variety of the AMG and M cars. Also some Audi "S" and/or "RS" cars. Honestly, for having trucks on there..maybe more modern trucks as well. Definitely surprised no Cobalt SS S/C or Turbo(being it is kindof a ricer list of cars anyway). I wish they had More modern Mustangs as well, Camaro ZL1 as well, Porsche(I know it is legal rights stuffs but still..), Dang, I can't think of too many off the top of my head but I know there are ~20 cars that it surprises/grinds my gears that they don't have. Next time I get on I'll have to make a little list..lol I've never gotten to play with a wheel/pedals. I bet it's awesome. How does the clutch work in a video game?
  9. Aww...a Yorkie. I have 4, 2 boys and 2 girls.. You have 4?!?!? I'm actually jealous. I always tell the gf that I want a small fleet of them because of how cute they'd be all running around playing! lol Have any pictures of yours??? Yorkies--- Ginger, 6lbs Penny, 7lbs.. Zo--a big boy, 16lbs and Henry, 10lbs We also have 3 other dogs, all terriers and terrier mixes.. Nauti II, a senior Australian Terrier (was a rescued stray and a cancer survivor) and these two---Raine and Beardsley, terrier mixes adopted together last year...(Raine is the red dog at the top and Beardsley is gray/white) Another one of Beardsley: Cute pups! i love that you keep their hair trimmed, not the long haired Yorkies. That must be a blast having all those little buds running around! Last time the gf and I were at the vet(about a month ago) Gucci weighed right at 4.75lbs. I think that was a lightest shes ever weighed once she was full gown. She usually weighs right at 5lbs.. Not sure why the difference other than maybe it's summer and warmer and shes losing the winter-ness. I just know I absolutely love our little yorkie..even if she is the least manly pet I could ever have. Hahaha
  10. Kindof like the ps1 and ps2 in their last generations? They got small, tiny, and really plastic-y. Yeah they always upgrade the internals, at least more efficient, in each generation..
  11. Negatron. Semi-on-topic. Do you play Gran Turismo?? Yeah, I have GT6 and the G27 Logitech racing wheel. Funny thing is, I only played the game for a couple weeks before it got shelved because my cat was in a wire-chewing phase and then we moved. Plus every time I looked for a specific modern car, I came up empty handed and it reminds me that it's still essentially GT4 with MAYBE 100 legitimately new cars (and I'm being generous) spanning 2004-2013.

  12. Oh $h! man... Sounds like a pain in the ass situation. Who ends up paying for those damages in a situation like that? does that fall back on you or the dealer..? I could see cases for both. Chorkie eh? I've never heard of them, so I looked them up lol. For the most part they seem to look more Yorkie than Chihuahua, which I think looks cuter. Regular Chihuahuas are not appealing to me.. Hopefully yours isn't yappy like them either lol. Any pictures of your little pup??? How old is he/she? Not the best pic, I had my flash turned of DOH! Also have a fleet of Beagles lol. Here is one of the pups. She/he looks like a little cutie! I think one of the biggest reasons I love yorkies over other 'toy' breed mixes with yorkies is the black in them, like yours actually. I love the black and brown. I know it slowly grows out of them but it's awesome while they are still young. Ours still has a all black back and partial back legs. I wish her ace was still black and dark brown like when they are puppies. He is a little rascal. He sleeps, plays for a bit, then back o sleep. He is 8 weeks old. He is prett fearless too. Was picking on the cats last night even though they are 2-3 times his size haha. 11 Beagles right now and one about to have pups. he Chorkie is the only purely inside dog. Also have a German Shepherd/retriever mix who is uge and the packs protector. OMG you have so many pups running around! When they're puppies they sleep all the time.. heck I think I read that yorkies will get like 16hrs of sleep/day. From sleeping at night and then sleeping while nobody is home.
  13. Oh wow. Interesting in deed. Tiny, like you said compared to the controller! It actually looks kind of cheap. The first gen ps3s had a good pricey look to them with the no real buttons(which suck btw) and the size and all. I realize this one is probably 100 times more efficient from the manufacturing end to shipping to probably power consumption end..it just doesn't look that good. But I don't buy my systems based on looks lol.
  14. Oh $h! man... Sounds like a pain in the ass situation. Who ends up paying for those damages in a situation like that? does that fall back on you or the dealer..? I could see cases for both.

I wish her ace was still black and dark brown like when they are puppies. Fleet-o-Beegles?!?! How many is in your fleet??? hahaha. Are they inside or outside pups? Negatron. Semi-on-topic. Do you play Gran Turismo??
  15. ^ maybe Audi took a page from their street cars.
  16. Whhhaaaaat?? What did you do, stew?! +1. We at least need a story, man! I'm assuming you're okay because you made to back here..so that part is good. Basically I went to drive that Black Ram Express I had talked about earlier. Went up the road the dealer advised and got behind a Trike moving at a slower pace. I came to a passing lane and went to go around. Pretty sure they sped up on me. The lane ended WAY soon and at this point I was already committed and halfway by. Gave it some more gas, didn't see the sharp left-hander and bounced off the guardrail. Damage was minimal, dented and scraped on the side of the bumper cover and a scrape across both passenger doors. No injuries except to my pride and probably my wallet. It is all really kind of a blur at this point. I know the police was making them haul it back to the dealer because I wasn't going that fast (lack of major damage/skid-marks) and thinks there may have been a steering malfunction. There's the story, nothing too scandalous haha. Oh, that was my first real accident in 20 years of driving. Oh $h! man... Sounds like a pain in the ass situation. Who ends up paying for those damages in a situation like that? does that fall back on you or the dealer..? I could see cases for both. Chorkie eh? I've never heard of them, so I looked them up lol.

Any pictures of your little pup??? How old is he/she?
  17. My is what I highlighted. I really don't drive any different when it's raining, unless it is a downpour - obviously. Actually, quick story. About a month ago the GF and I were taking our little girl to the vet Aww...a Yorkie. I have 4, 2 boys and 2 girls.. You have 4?!?!? I'm actually jealous. I always tell the gf that I want a small fleet of them because of how cute they'd be all running around playing! lol Have any pictures of yours???
  18. Well, Thank you guys I ended up getting it to work. It really was as simple as just downloading the app from the Sony store. Which I didn't think A: I needed to download the Netflix app because I never did on mine, It just came with one of the recent updates and B: I didn't know there were 'apps' to even download for a PS3. I knew you're into the computer things..which even if you didn't have a PS3 you'd probably know a solution haha. Yeah hers is an old one that plays the old games, which is pretty neat. It just sucks they don't even use it for anything and when it craps out it'll kind of be a shame because aren't those semi-collectable ? Super slim? I didn't even know that was a thing. lol I guess mine is jsut a slim but the GF's is an old brick. That thing easily weighs twice what mine does. It's pretty incredible really. Yeah that is basically what I had to do. Once I downloaded it there was magically the TV/Video Services tab and with it came Hulu and something else.. It is like it knew the tab was supposed to be there, it just didn't want to show me. lol
  19. They did but I wasn't up for it.. I was super disappointed once I saw nothing was on from noon till 7 on saturday. Why cover it over night but not during the day? Of course it will be hard to get good ratings at those times.
  20. I thought that as well but just last week I hooked it up to the internet for the first time in probably a few years and updated it and then yesterday I double checked to make sure I did it and it said the software was up to date. I kind of skimmed through the settings but I didn't think there would be a setting for the tab that is supposed to have it. Do you have a ps3? If so(or familiar enough) on mine there is a "tab" on the homepage of the ps3 titled "TV/Video Services" and within there there is Netflix, Hulu, etc. And hers just doesn't have the tab at all. Ps. I almost just PM'd you because you were primarily my target for this post lol I think I may have found it, straight of of Sony's website. I'm just worried that it will only be for people with that "tab" I keep talking about. " From the home screen, navigate to the TV/Video Services section and select the Netflix icon. If you're not already at the home screen, hold the PS button in the middle of the controller, select Quit, then select Yes to return to the home screen. Select Yes when presented with: "To use this feature, you must download software. Do you want to download now?" The Netflix app will now begin downloading. If you do not see the Netflix app, follow the steps below to download it from the PlayStation store. Select PlayStation Store. Select Apps. Select Movies/TV. Select Netflix. Select Download."
  21. Hey ladies and gents, So the gf and I finally got Netflix last night(signed up for it) and we had intended to use her ps3 because we are always at her house when we watch tv/movies. Well, i have a 3rd gen ps3, I think - first gen when they changed the "body". And I know I can watch Netflix from my PS3. Well hers doesn't have the "tv/movie services" tab like mine does. Sorry, forgot to say, she has a first gen PS3(plays ps2 games). The question really is.. can Netflix be watched from her first gen PS3? If so, how? Thank You!
  22. Whhhaaaaat?? What did you do, stew?! +1. We at least need a story, man! I'm assuming you're okay because you made to back here..so that part is good.
  23. My is what I highlighted. I really don't drive any different when it's raining, unless it is a downpour - obviously. Actually, quick story. About a month ago the GF and I were taking our little girl to the vet And the quickest way to get there is a little 10 mile interstate gaunt. Well it started to rain a little then it started to POUR. The hardest I've ever had it rain while I was driving. The flow of trafic slowed to about 35mph. And i would have continued to decelerate but it stopped not even 5 minutes after it started raining(that hard). I could bearly see the taillighs in front of me, which is why I would have continued to slow down.
  24. That grinds my gears so much. It wasn't the last time I washed my car but the time before: Looked outside - 85 clear skies Checked forcast 0% rain for the next 2 days Long enough to appreciate my work Clean car Rains over night. Pissed off. Damn, I knew it was impressive numbers Yes the warranty was one of the biggest upsides..oh and I think it was only like 700ish dollars. So there were waaay more ups and downs to that upgrade package.
  25. Extremely disappointed in the saturday coverage. I think I wanted a whole hour and a half of it. 10ish-1145. Then it wasn't on until 7 and I wasn't home then.
