If the price of gas doubled in month, would you sell your daily driver?
I don't need a Duramax tho. In my daydreaming on a newer truck, it's a 1500 gas job (or 2500). I'm just not going to find a CC/standand bed truck that gets much better than 16 MPG composite. Even if it were -say- 25 MPG, that's a mere 213 gals per YEAR difference for me; or around $600. That's nothing.

Not for that reason. Even double the price, it would take a few decades to make up a newer vehicle’s purchase price in fuel cost savings. Makes no fiscal sense.

GM News: UAW to Strike General Motors Tonight
In reading a few articles & commentary on the subject, one person claimed that the bankruptcy, 'if done properly', would have started everything at zero with the new corporation, including nullifying all union/worker contracts. Instead Gov't forced those components to be tied immediately to the new entity.

BMW was running ads bragging they were all RWD- the ones with the rabbit with huge front legs. That went out the window, didn't it.

The sad take-away here is that ten years ago it was 0% - so it's growing fast.- Random Thoughts Thread

Would it surprise anyone that, according to a circa 1990 list I have access to, that General Motors had (38) billing codes for the FBI? - - - - -- September 2019 auto spotter

A-class sedan : 179”, ATS: 182. c-class sedan is 187”. Incorrect- you have not included AWD in your numbers.- PONTIAC dealer codes
Thanks for that, tho they are missing more than just those 2 zones. However, by '89, GM might have condensed the zones; NY was always zone 03 & 05, but the '89 list shows many NY codes in zone 06. Need to verify. UPDATE : still entering data from the TTA list, currently at about 2150 coded dealers, 5150 total. The other active list 'out there' is at 3200 dealers, but I do not know it's breakdown on coded vs. uncoded- I believe via talking to the compiler that they are all coded. If so, I should eclipse that and be around 4600 coded dealers and 7500 dealers total. This is by far the most comprehensive list of Pontiac dealers in existence, to my knowledge. There should be a way I can make a dollar off all this work...- Random Thoughts Thread

Why not?? Does MB only have a single model? Upper end vehicles are terrible values because they cost the owner far more in depreciation (as measured in dollars) than others, yet they don't DO anything different than others. If you want to flush $85,000 down the drain in 3 years, buy a top-end MB. Ans yes; absolutely they should not have dipped 2 or 3 notches below the c-class; it demeans/devalues the core model lines. It just plays off as a money grab. And front wheel drive, to boot!- Random Thoughts Thread

Do they still have the budget tho? More cuts are sure to come as Germany & mercedes' largest market China possibly see further contractions. At least; that's what some people are saying. Splitting the line into an IC and E versions only broadcasts that Daimler isn't serious about taking Tesla on at all.- Random Thoughts Thread
