Intrepidation

You word the title as though this is posted news with a source, as though GM has stated this would be the case.

BMW 650 split in 2.

How can you tell it's a THD? I was trying to figure that out but can't see the steering wheel..just an airbag. According to the site the driver was killed immediately. http://www.car-accidents.com/2007-auto-cra...uardrail-5.html Fewother accidents like it on the site: According to the site, the first 2 were fatal, but amazingly the guy in the truck survived with only scratches.

I wish everyone cared for their cars as much as you and your family do dude.

Sixty9, you;re good at hunting down this sort of thing, I volunteer you to help me.

Dropping the Caliber's turbo 4 would give it a much needed shot of EXCITEMENT!!!! ...wrong brand.

I know right?

I can haz mah chiken wit watermoln?

Yeah, once I get a new battery it'll be driveable at least. I'll probably just give it request oil changes to offset the leaking head gasket, and keep the car around town.

I never thought of it that way but you bring up an eerie observation.

Yeah, I'ma member there and have been to that thread several times. Apparently he (Daytrepper) sells a manual detailing how to do a swap. I'm gonna pick it up I think. I'm going to go ahead and look for a rear ended 300M that I can get for cheap. If I can do that, I'll try sell off the transmission I have (it's got a lot of miles but still perfectly good). Kinda sucks...last year there was a wrecked but running 300M on Craigslist for $500.

After learning that General Motors would be disbanding its High Performance Vehicle Operations team to focus on less performance-oriented projects, our thoughts naturally turned towards Ford's SVT and Chrysler's SRT groups. Would Detroit's other automakers follow GM's lead and kill off their fellow speed divisions? Apparently not. Ford has gone on record stating that the SVT program will continue on in its current capacity and now Chrysler has announced that it will continue to develop SRT versions of its volume sellers. In a posting on Chrysler's Red Letter Dodge blog, Steve Bartoli, Chrysler's vice president for global product planning, had a few choice comments regarding the future of the Pentastar's SRT models, saying, "We are working on a sedan as we speak. We will look at many styling options." Admittedly, that's short on detail, but it does portend good things to come for fans of big HEMI engines and fat rear tires. Autoblog

That'll buff right out.

FORT PIERCE, Fla. - She's been called "McNut" by TMZ.com and "loco 4 pollo" by PerezHilton.com. Now, after becoming an Internet sensation for calling 911 three times to report an emergency after McDonald's had run out of McNuggets, a Fort Pierce woman said Wednesday she is embarrassed by all the media attention. "I'm embarrassed to show my face in public," Latreasa Goodman told WPBF News 25's Alexis Rivera one day after her McNugget meltdown was first reported. Story continues below ↓advertisement | your ad here Goodman, 27, was issued a written notice to appear in court for misusing the 911 emergency communications system. According to the police report, Goodman called 911 three times Saturday to report that a McDonald's employee wasn't giving her a refund for the chicken nuggets she wanted. "The manager just took my money and won't give me my money back, trying to make me get something off the menu that I don't want," Goodman said in one of the 911 calls. "I ordered chicken nuggets. They don't have chicken nuggets, and so I told her, 'Just give me my money back,' and she tells me I have to pick something else off the menu. She is not going to give me my money back, and she don't have the right to take my money." Goodman told WPBF News 25 that she didn't "have a right to jump across the counter and snatch" the money, so she chose to handle it another way. "Inside Edition" was there when WPBF News 25 spoke to Goodman on Wednesday. She said all the media exposure has resulted in several profanity-laced, hateful messages on her personal cell phone. "I think it's wrong, because like I said, it's not about no chicken nugget meal," Goodman said. "If everybody listen(s) to the news, they'll understand my statement that McDonald's took my money. They didn't have any chicken nuggets, and so I asked for my (money) back." The 10-piece chicken McNuggets meal is valued at $3.49. "When you feel that you've been mistreated or misused or robbed out of your money, you have the right to call 911," Goodman said. "That's the purpose of 911, so I thought." But Tiffany Bennett, an emergency coordinator for St. Lucie County, said the incident does not constitute an emergency. "It's not an emergency unless there was some kind of disturbance or somebody threatening someone, and I don't believe that was the case in this matter," Bennett said. Carlos Solorzano, operations manager for all McDonald's restaurants in Florida, issued a statement Tuesday apologizing for the incident. "Satisfying each and every customer that visits our restaurants is very important to us," Solorzano said. "Regarding this isolated incident, we apologize for the inconvenience caused. In the event that we are unable to fill an order, a customer should be offered the choice of a full refund or alternative menu items. We regret that in this instance, that wasn't the case. "We want to correct our mistake. We will be sending the customer her refund, along with an invitation to return for her original order, on us. We never want to disappoint a McNuggets fan or any McDonald's customer. Customer satisfaction is our top priority." Goodman said she'll continue to go to McDonald's, but she also said she'd order with a little more caution next time. "I'm not going and just giving up my money like that, no, but I'm going to ask them would they please check and see if they have what I want on the menu, and if they tell me yes, then I will order," she said. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29517686/?GT1=43001

I like that..

That would be ideal, I'd have all the parts I need and the interior bits to complete my plan. *evil laugh*

It's even sadder that in this day, when GM is supposed to be having the best quality it's very had that avant1963 has had to deal with quality problems 3 times on 3 different cars. But it's not GM's fault right? Let's just keep pointing figures and making excuses as to why this is OK. If I bough 3 new Chryslers and every one of them had problems, especially within a week of purchase, yeah I'd be feeling the same way.

I can't blame him for not waiting to recommend GM anymore. He's had 3 bad experiences in a row now. Whether this one is just a lemon, a fluke, or not it's still very frustrating.

Regarding Ford, I would consider a Taurus SHO, Mustang GT, Fusion Sport, Flex, Fiesta when it comes out. I like the MKS but I like the SHO more. Other Chrysler products besides the Challenger: Charger, Ram, 300C, Wrangler Unlimited, Viper (in my dreams), The next Charger and Grand Cherokee look very promising, I'm on the fence with the 300. Oh if they build he 200C that is next in line right behind the Challenger. Nissan: 370Z, G35 coupe, GTR (in my dreams) Essence (if they built it, also in my dreams). Audi: S5 Mazda6

Well the large streaks of blood going throw the car and staining the guardrail, as well as the rail itself: plus engine bits, steering wheel and whatever was in front of him, and whatever was behind him, would be indicative of that. It's like a BMW Kabob.

Naw, he's pulled threads from years ago. You have a ways to go.

That sucks, I thought that thing was cool. You should get another.

They didn't wreck the first Impala, but I forget what they did with it. the second one went `splody.

Didn't want to drop AAA. Originally it was my mom's plan with me as a sub member. She changed insurances and dropped AAA, which left me with the primary membership. I'd love to pay it but when car insurance is $000 a month + other bills, it's hard to come up with extra cash.
