battery dead or is it broke? you could ebay one but i dont know if the user can manually set the radio frequency to match you car. so it might be dealer part. or just use the keys... $70 is step for a stupid fob. that costs $1 MAX to make.

that remote is awesome though.

Apparently coasting at 55~70 mph in neutral with a 200-4R or a 700-R4 spins the engine enough that a hot engine can re catch. Both cars were part of my regular rotation and drove fine for tens of thousands of miles afterward. I still have all of my cars, if you want to inspect if I brainstorm to recall which two they were, but they likely are not running.

For a fact I know the 2 models you listed will not engage the the engine n neutral at all or ever. I tested the 200 4r yesterday on the freeway and I owned a car with the 700 and never noticed it. Since, while driving i like to put my cars in neutral and rev them, its cheap entertainment. What happened in your case since the engine was overheating was a rare phenomenon called dieseling. very common in older gm's with electrical issues. old neighbor had a 83 caprice that would do it. He would shut of the car and get out and the engine would continue to run in a misfire state for a good 2-3 minutes. However, if the car is carbureted and its Hot then gas can continue to flow freely and the engine is so hot combustion occurs with out spark hence the name dieseling. This can occur in any make of car, even carbureted lawn equipment. Im willing to bet this is what happened, but i have been wrong before.

hmmm.. the vibe is up on miles. I still love Royal purple but its too expensive but I can get 6-7000 miles on a change in the caprice where conventional is exactly 3k and Mobil 1 gets sludge and thick at 4k. I was surprised with Valvoline platinum? synthetic. good stuff that's reasonable priced.

since he name is brought up i think i would like to share something. awhile back he posted about applying for a temp job at the Livonia Cadillac engine assembly plant. and then reported "he didn't get it," Actually No one got the temp jobs becasue they either failed preliminary background checks (active criminals, invalid identification, probation) or failed drug test. i think i remember 30 people applied and only 2 passed the drug test but failed background checks. I don't know which category he fell into but, I knew a person working there that was doing training. Just thought you would like to know.

I remember in my blazer I did that. I went to pop the the hood while it was on ramps and it was a stick I popped the parking brake up and it rolled of the ramps down across the street and up the curb and stopped in the lawn across the street.

I couldn't stop laughing at my self.

At least people are putting money into these cars instead of using them as derby cars.

+1

Exactly how i feel.

consider a sedan!

Consider a LS!

Lincoln!

cheap and very fun to drive, at least test drive one.

sextillion

Is that really a word/number??

that would be wicked!. but the 5.3 colo's out now are wicked too.

its beacuse most are one sided either intel or amd, Nivida or ATI, Asus or DFI, Evga or XFX.

I mean right now Intel has the best available cpu and ATI has the best video car out. but that can always change. I am a Intel fan and Nvidia fan but in the past I purchased ATI and AMD products because they either where better or had higher value for that application.

used mustangs are cheap and generally fun to drive. CTS?

Is it me or are cars just starting to look the same? Lots of design elements coming from other cars here.

saw a Cadillac CTS wagon today. White is not its best color and why did they look at Volvo for the taillights. they are way to big and span the entire height of the back end.

where is everybody I thought 3:00 am is prime time internet surfing?

Smells like distopia...

LMAO!

I've seen this car before, driving east on 96 around the Southfield exit.

Where did you spot this bad boy?

696 and telegraph area i think.

I think it was a chick driving

LMAO I'm glad I posted this.

This was never a good idea. they should of left it stock!

driver floored it in reverse probably.

I was just thinking that i only really go to bed to just cuddle with the "babe" other than that I watch TV work on my novel or walk the dog. I get my best sleep on the couch for about an hour or 2 a day. My mind is always thinking about some useless thing so it keeps me up which is a very bad thing.

The bulging headlights and taillights are the worst "styling" element in the history of bad styling elements. I hate them so much.

+F4240 (Its the hexadecimal for 1 million)

I mean That ruins the Honda accord for me. I saw one in traffic in basque red pearl (I really like that color Honda did good there) and then i saw the front with bulging lights and was disgusted. perfectly good transportation ruined by the bulge.

sleep what sleep? I suffer severe Insomnia so i rely on coffee for my "rest"

this bill is bull$h! anyway. we have the martial law system that we can deploy if need be and that at least is controlled by the city not to some federal agency that can do it when ever

Actually, im sure about the whole guide lines being true because I was extremely close to trading the vibe in for a cobalt xfe. and the dealer ship said it qualified. And trust me its no worth anything over $500. and that's the cost of the tires.
