Industry News: California Mulls Ban On Combustion Engines
daves87rs replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News
Maybe.... Olds, you're good...I don't think you're bad....maybe a bit sassy, but you're fine.... Besides, I used to bump heads with folks on here who I'm friends with now.... And if I'm wrong, I am fine with that too. Both of you showed my a few things I didn't know....funny considering I had to work with Tesla for a while(parts side). You just surprised me, that's all. I changed my panties and all is well.... Okay, I'll admit I might have had a butthurt moment....... I will say it is amazing now fast things are changing with EVs......- 80 replies

Yeah, had me considering the Monroe blues, even though they might make it to 40k..... Sad part is this Cavalier is a beast. 135k, motor and trans are solid (synthetics helped, for sure) But no matter how much I keep it clean, rust id going to claim it sooner or later...... Like my Cobalt, same issue.....no matter how much I clean it.... Owning a car long term here means having a winter beater for sure....

Industry News: California Mulls Ban On Combustion Engines
daves87rs replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News
No, I was actually asked what you meant by it. And since you want to insult me like a high schooler, no point in adding anything further....... I'm just pointing out ideas for debate...and if I learn something new, cool....all for it in my quest for knowledge. And you come off like I am against it- when the that's not true. I just question how ready, that's all..... And I know dfelt is picking on me (cause he's a good guy)- but not sure if you are... If you don't like my idea train-just say so....- 80 replies

Reminds me I'll need to be looking for tires for our cars soon.... Also need to figure out what struts (quick struts) I should put on a 14 year old cavalier that we might have for another year or too. I am throwing some KYBs on my Chevy, but not sure I want to spend that much for the Cav. Don't want the China specials either, and Monroe seems to really suck in our pothole filled state. Debating about maybe going middle of the road with some moog struts......

Industry News: California Mulls Ban On Combustion Engines
daves87rs replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News
Helps if you read my other posts though..... I happen to like EVs (rode in a new Volt and really liked it), and I am not flat out bashing it either. I'm just not sure they are just ready for prime time abuse just yet. I sadly and personally know of someone who managed to kill a very nice 2013 Volt..... And while I'm sure any drag race they would be fine....driving like one stole it might for a while might be interesting...like I said-I am just not sure about the long term-yet. I have no doubt the automakers are doing their best (personally seen what goes into a Volt at D-Ham) and they are building them tough-but they haven't met the dumb half of John Q. Public yet..... But I know like anything else, they'll be just as tough as a Toyota Corolla given to a 16 year old.... And,"you Folk"?- 80 replies

GM News: Ripple Effects Begin To Appear From CAMI Strike
daves87rs replied to William Maley's topic in General Motors
In Honestly, I want this to hang for a little while. Get the feeling this might be more of a benefit anyways, as GM is not in a rush to fix it. They could just get by with Mexico for a little while.... The downslide in sales is on the way.....- 12 replies

Oh, they could-but the results would be quite bad... Don't get me wrong, I like EVs, but you can't drag race them.... But who knows, maybe Apple will make EVs.......- 80 replies

They might be able to ban new car sales, but they cannot stop the of the used, or simply the use of them. Many simply could not afford it, and they cannot get massive public transportation that fast either.....- 80 replies

Still sounds like they are not sure yet....they seem to be still throwing things around. Though it's funny (but true) about Lordstown, can also be said about D-Ham.....- 15 replies

Regardless of culture, we respect each other in the USA. Guy was simply an asshole, no doubt-you did the right thing-stood up for others. In his case, I'm thinking it's more the asshole thing..... I'm usually a pretty cool guy, but I have a feeling I would have done the same....
