  1. o for awards i thought it was for the "most calls to the fire department car"
  2. I walked into my bathroom and fliped the switch and the light bulb burnt out. its not normal though it dosent screw in it has 2 posts the slide in the holes then requires a quater turn then it locks in. But i need help! I dont understand the bulb said its goo for 1,000,000 hours i dont hink it lasted that long? is it the swicth? Do i need to rewire the bathroom? Should i change out all my breakers? should i get 200amp service?
  3. i have a 59 buick with 55,000 miles paint blaze red with fair interior and perfectly running V8 thats for sale at $10,000. but i dont think thats "out of the ordinary" but what was is that 85 scottsdale with a 572 in it was probably "out of the ordinary". but its gone *tear* at the paint shop and heads to a acution on i think febuary 9th. but you better have a deep pocket. projected sale was around $157,000.
  4. today is was driving in my 90 Caprice (the older boxy style) and i noticed that when i make a right turn, and properly signal, that once I complete the turn the turn signal doesn't return. but perfectly works when I turn left. Is there a switch or somthing in the steering column that sense the turn and is it easy to fix or should i just manually return it for the rest of this fine automobiles life.
  5. isnt that ironic! In the 50's they really didnt make profit any where but the NA now its the oppistie. I have been asked that same question. They always thinks its Toyota because the media but I always show them monthly sales and say GM always sales more automobiles a month then any other automobile maker so they are the biggest auto maker. In profit They could be. Reason not is because NA Material costs and Medical Cost and the Union Worker Wage. Lets be real here in japan were some cars are made a person on the line doesn't make $80,000 a year and get full Health care for there ENTIRE family.
  6. But wallstreet doesn't sell cars so what do they no about the only thing they can do is count money.
  7. yeah i seen the recall letter. The reason it is in the northren states is because of the salt we lay down right?
  8. The Best company to Destroy America's Econmy TOYOTA The Company that thinks its bad to be American DCX
  9. I agree on almost every one
  10. Do you really thik i just roll a car on to a "roller" dyno and just let er rip? Yes I no about all the technical crap. the wheel size and everything. Listen The software I used in the run was used before. on a engine dyno at the fly wheel we tested a 350 with some modifications it read 403 HP 427 TQ in a truck with complete drivetrain the actualy read was 393 HP 410 TQ at the wheel. NOW when those numbers went in to this program it said the engine power would be 402 HP and 426 TQ at the fly wheel. thats Damn close. So maybe I have to much trust in this program. Yes satty is right not every engine will make the same exact Horse Power. But to me 16 HP is huge.
  11. there will never be enough :P B)
  12. why would they want to downgrade to a Caprice that doesnt make sense!
  13. Hey keep politics out of this thats a whole other story, What polition DOESN'T lie???? But yeah i hate lieing auto makers. GM has never over rated engines they have underrated there engines. EX. its changed now but the SSR has always 390 HP when then went to the LS2 but the GTO and Vette had 400 hundered so they didnt just round it off. the only overated car that i know of GM having is the Vibe. I Dynoed my mom's at 104 HP when they claim 120 HP thats 16 HP!!! You might think o its the type of dyno you used. The dyno that i used at the shop has software that deletes the drivetrain. it really read 99 HP at the wheels and 104 after the software think what is at the flywheel. :Toyota:
  14. didnt yours start as a caprice wagon?
  15. still weight is the biggest killer to 0-60 times.
  16. thats going to be a bitch to work on!!!!!! But why dont they make a Buggatti veryon or something compittor. have a Supercharged V16 super long/super performing car like a a ... Cough* Caddy sixteen * cough
  17. :Toyota: It's time to dust off this old sign.... and key some Toyota cars at the dealership so Toyota has to "pay to repaint them". isnt that ironic!!!!
  18. sube was my only jap fan. but now its back to hating. the new cars from them are ugly looking anyway.
  19. Call GM customer support about that one that is one reason i never heard before. that is why GM has bad rep.
  20. I was wondering if you guys know how to fix a horn on a 02' sierra. replaced fuse didnt slove problem. When you you lock the car with the remote it beeps but it doesnt when you hit the steering wheel. I haven't worked on a car with a airbag so if you take the steering wheel cover off the airbag wont deploy or anything will it? it dont think it will. Do know what the problem might be or suggestions on fixing it?
  21. you can rent a old K-mart buliding on 13mile between harper and littlemack
