    And continuing to prove my point about his reign as a drama queen.
  3. surreal1272
    Cue pointless GIF response when he gets called out on his drama.
  4. surreal1272
    We all argue ccap. Pick a thread, any thread. *ccap takes things completely out of context and acts like a drama queen* meanwhile dfelt has not made one EV mention on this thread.
  5. surreal1272
    Tell it to ccap Drew. I said what I had to say.
  6. surreal1272
    Drama much? You cherry picked one blurb from dfelt and you think I’m arguing just to argue? Must suck to feel so victimized.
  7. surreal1272
    Actually it seems like it is all you by cherry picking dfelts one remake while ignoring the context of his entire statement. I stated the line of events brought on by SMKs “boomin” remark. If you don’t understand that, then maybe you need step back and read all of this again before accusing me of something I’m not doing. Good grief.
  8. surreal1272
    Never said you did. The original remark was made by SMK in regards to that 19% jump in an otherwise down year which was pointed out by multiple people. Again, context.
  9. surreal1272
    Context is your friend. One good month on top of six bad months does not mean business is “boomin”. Again, it looks more like an anomaly like FCAs past months of double digit sales growth.
  10. surreal1272
    Still down 4.0% for the year making this one month an anomaly in an otherwise $h! year for Benz. He sure as hell didn’t offer that kind of rosy observation when FCA had their double digit growth months but fanboys will always be fanboys. Hyundai was up 12% for the month while being up 3% for the year. If business is “boomin” at Benz, then it exploded at Hyundai.
  11. surreal1272
    So one good month out of a down year is “boomin’“? Boomin so much that they are slashing everything, cancelling vaporware projects (X Class) and lost money last quarter. You must have gotten a really sweet deal on those rose colored glasses if you’re able see that.
  12. surreal1272
    Yeah, I’m with the others here. It takes far more hand/foot to eye coordination to sling a manual around the track than literally any other transmission currently made. Paddle shifters are literally child’s play compared to manuals and I also have driven both while literally being raised on a manual.
  13. surreal1272
    Forget the fact that one is RWD while the other is FWD (whether it’s the Pilot or MDX). Just no.
  14. surreal1272
    Just repeating your wise words. You should be flattered. Oh and fix your CAPS LOCK key. It appears to be broken.
  15. surreal1272
    It doesn’t make much financial sense at all to offer a manual at all since there are only five or six people that can drive a stick these days lol. Once companies like Ferrari and Porsche were cutting them out, the writing was on the wall for cars like the Corvette.
  16. surreal1272
    Again, in case you missed it the first time, it is a Corvette, regardless of the aftermarket job on it, so it is not irrelevant to discussions about the Corvette. The same would apply to the Escape if it something brought up on a thread about the Escape. You’re just grasping at straws for some reason and making up your own criteria for what you find interesting (like your C8 example. It doesn’t make the mention of an EV C7 any less irrelevant. The point here is that this is a Vette article and it is not irrelevant to bring up other Vette models, aftermarket or otherwise. You do know what the definition of the word “Ironic” means right? You troll every EV thread ad nauseam. You are just trying to start $h! for no other reason than being mad at being called out for your ad nauseam BS.
  17. surreal1272
    Yet you did. That is all.
  18. surreal1272
    Back to the C8, it being sold out is definitely not a surprise and it perfectly explains the number of C7s that were still on the lots over the past year. Nows the time to catch a good deal on one if you have that much coin.
  19. surreal1272
    Just pure dedication lol!
  20. surreal1272
    Agreed. I don’t know how these old men can deal with them on a daily basis. Guess they are in much better shape than me lol. Funny sidestory about that dealership. Right before I left, a salesman asked me to move a $100K Z06 out of the showroom for a delivery to their Surprise dealership. Why couldn’t he do it, you ask? Because the salesman couldn’t drive a stick! It took every ounce of restraint I had NOT to revoke his man card, him being a car salesman and all. It took even more restraint to keep from leaving those back tires on that nice showroom tile when I drove it out.
  21. surreal1272
    I got about 18 miles of wheel time on one last year when I worked at the Chevy dealership. Best part of it was that is was the manual. I was a little concerned initially about the clutch work with 450 HP under the hood but the clutch and stick were buttery smooth. I even managed to not bark the tires once. Having said that, I still wouldn’t own one because getting in and out of that thing (with my bad back) was an absolute pain in the ass. Could not do that everyday. Oops! Sorry. We are over here talking about the C7 on a C8 article. According to at least one person, that is wrong. ?
  22. surreal1272
    And once again, highlighting the importance of context and simple reading comprehension. Well said. How is pointing out and EV example, after what dfelt and Drew discussed, irrelevant? Answer? It’s not. Again, context and comprehension. See above response regarding the discussion between dfelt and drew. Who would think that there would be talk about the C7 in a discussion about the C8 (please not heavy use of sarcasm)? Now, if he brought up the Zombie Mustang EV, you would have a point but he didn’t so you are wrong. The fact of the matter is that at least dfelt speaks in a positive manner regarding the future while folks like ocnblu just offer up one negative emotionally driven response after another regarding anything to do with EVs. You tell dfelt to provide you proof of him not talking about EVs (which is asinine btw). Show us one EV thread where blu didn’t chime in with his normally trolling nonsense. Again, the fact that you are trying to criticize someone who makes positive posts against someone who speaks nothing but negative posts (even though no one held a gun to his head and forced him to troll EV articles) is absolutely baffling.
  23. surreal1272
    Offer actual proof, not emotionally charged bias, of this scam. And your posting in the introductory form has nothing to do with what I said but then again, maybe it was over your head a bit.
  24. surreal1272
    Is that similar to the “every time there is an EV article, ocnblu has to make yet another nonsensical trolling comment” we see EVERY. STINKING. EV THREAD? I mean if you’re going to talk the talk and get butthurt over folks talking about technology that you find offensive, then walk the walk. Again, at least his comment was related to the car in question which is more than be said for you right now.
  25. surreal1272
    Never asked you to apologize. You also have a backwards view of what is considered “trolling”. The comment you are referring to was not trolling given the fact that the maker of said truck has big EV plans while your “lame ass” remark was the very definition of trolling, like so many of your anti anything to do with EVs history. Just the same old tripe and it’s just that, old. Regarding the actual subject, This is a smart move by GM, from the price to getting top MPGs. One question though. Why oh why doesn’t the smaller diesel Colorado not sport those kind of numbers (as well as being on the pricier end of spectrum as far as Colorado’s how)?
