  1. I would need a 5 speed though. I think the Beat Is a Yaris/fit rip off but i would take it with a 5 speed tomorrow. Auto+Econo=Failure
  2. How does it run on your computer?
  3. Bread
  4. Also When will a Manual be thrown in the Aura? Demand It! that would be a sweet car then a Aura with a 2.0L Turbo with 5 speed.
  5. I always wanted to do that. Its funny though because when your in a helicopter or small airplane it looks like small lake.
  6. Hmm... April 20th and Detroit...
  7. "Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dieing" I have been living this one lately Shawshank Redemption
  8. F 430 A sunbeam Corvair 7 super birds cruising down I 94 Lots of Detroit 60's Iron A bunch of rare cars cruising around.
  9. i own it for PC. The concept is sweet but my computer is too outdated its very demanding i get about 8 FPS on my rig plus my wheel is too old for it Although i did replace there patented bungee cord inside the wheel. I have a Sky and Z06 so far. cruising mountain roads is very fun though. plus racing others online is fun. Graphics pretty good Game play a little acradeish but keeps drawing you back. i like it so far I just need a better processor my rig P4 2.6 1 gig ram 460 gig hd 256 graphics. some reason im stuck with the crap computer while the good one is somewhere else.
  10. 1.0 engine? yes... Hello Old metro days, give me a 5 speed and a turbo option and hell yeah mother F****r!!! price it under 10k.
  11. Umm... NO! Every one i know in the UAW can quit and find a higher paying job with healthcare and such. They dont because they like Job Security. Not worried about being fired everyday. UAW members aren't making 6 figure incomes and you have to realize that.
  12. hmm... i fell like writing a paper about why electric cars are the way to go. Also lets not forget the EV1 which pioneered NiMH batteries. The only reason why they have hybrids is because of the one hybrid mandate the DOE was supposed to make but it was found un lawful and japan actually took it serious and did some research.
  13. Family member GM Tech center Maintainace for HVAC systems. Only paid $28 My brother works for a "scab" shop for Hvac Systems Non-union could be fired without cause any day. $35 and is getting a 1.50 raise soon. Welders on the line are pretty rare now but There is one i know that took the buyout. worked in pontiac MI only paid $24 another thing there health care isn't free in any way. My father just had to get some surgery he is UAW works for GM. He still had pay 25% of it. pays 10% on any medicine. the only thing that is free is than in the medical care center you get free blood pressure tests. Also they pay a huge chunk out of there pay check every week for it. And Ford and DCX workers are on the same boat with that too. health care has been slowly cut from them since the 80's. Its not as counter productive as there manegment is which is there biggest problem. By Far. Thanks for having a genuine complaint tho most hate unions because they can't have a slightly easier work day with some benefits and job security. Thats why i used jealousy because most are jealous and thats there only reason they hate unions.
  14. Thanks for telling me i should get paid less because im a union employee and your not? Do i sense Jealousy? i have no idea what you people think guys on the line make but im guessing your off. normal skilled trades $28 a hour UAW Skilled trades non UAW $35 a hour Line as a welder $24 a hour UAW Pay isn't that great.It's all lower middle class The people that make all the money is White collar which is disposable help since they never opted for a union. The average White collar salary is about $120k a year for sitting in a office bean counting. And yes GM can kick them out any time they want. And No you can not over night throw all UAW employees out. And its not like the 70's anymore you have to almost have a masters degree to install a tire on a car on the line. GM is now releasing that they created a up side down structure there is almost 5 bosses to one worker its insane. I predict GM will offer the same contract as last time and give everyone a $500 bonus for signing it. Can some answer me why they hate unions so much? I'm not UAW but i am union I make about 26 a hour and have to pay for health and everything else and i have to put money in my own 401k like what most UAW guys are doing now. It isn't all that great. I am promised $500 a month when i retire and I'm over 65 at the time. whats the harm in that? i still have to save. my stock portfolio is in the 6 digits thanks to TIE. Besides give the guys on the line a break until you work on a line your self dont talk bad about them. It is the most suicidal job out there. My source? GM afternoons. I welded and lifted rear axles for about 9 months then i got layed off i did get called back worked one day then quit i could not take it anymore.
  15. I believe that was very common. because stereo and Mono where options.
  16. To have power is to have either Strong Government or industry not business. Leaving the auto companies out of this.. I don't care what a Economist says, really all you need is a history book. And powerful nation or Empire has either had a godly government or strong industry. Nothing has ever had power being a middle man which we are. The US never had a strong government or over ruling one. but as soon as the industrial revolution started we kept gaining strength. Its how the North won the Civil War. Its the reason why WW1 was basically a stalemate even though one side said they were victorious. It is the reason why the allies won WW2. Also It was the number 1 target in every bombing raid in the Pacific and European Theaters. Plus it was the staple in ending the cold war. But what about before industry? The Roman Empire didn't grow as big as it did by bowing down to its enemy. Either did Great Britain. There Governments limited there citizens and enforced its expanding borders. I think i make a clear point. Can you? Only Using History because its been proven that we learn from the past not the present.
  17. Happy B-man!! Go Party like its 199..um 2007!
  18. there is no job market left in Michigan. I encourage all of you to leave Michigan its better else where. I like my job but we don't have many new contracts. But How things look I might have to take an offer for LAPD S.W.A.T. They said I'm always welcome. Is crime that bad down there?
  19. um i have been driving recklessly and poorly way before i played a racing game. So Now my insurance will be higher yeah i will lie about that. Im paying 5800 as it is 4 cars 2 people no records or at fault accidents. ridiculous. Test Drive Unlimited comes out today for PC yeah!
  20. Prime Example 1100 Sq ft plus finished basement so about 2200 livable sq ft. November 1995 bought for $103,298 July 2001 home worth $163,634 February 2007 home worth $118,645 Who is the one complaining now? I put over 30k in repairs and improvements into it. And almost 29% of St. Clair Shores is for sale right now. Who is the one to say the auto companies have no effect on local economy. I live about technically 5 miles from Detroit, but really about 20miles in a nice Suburb. Its horrible Every one is selling no one is buying and interest rates keep going up while every day someone you know is getting laid off or there employer went out of business. Theres a trickle down effect that has to run in Detroit for Detroit to work. However it doesn't work for your area. Big 3 is our only source of decent pay in are area. well those workers buy houses and in tern buys products from best buy or a coffee shop that employees other people. so they have money to live on. so in tern we all buy the Big 3 cars because they supply our economy. Take the not buying the car out of the picture the Big 3 worker has no job no more coffee he goes out of business no one to buy the things from best buy so they go out. Its a Cycle. Fight me all you want thats how Detroit works. Once Detroit lost there factories we lost our income. Has anyone been to the true ghetto lately? Where people kill so they can have Shoes? and a coat? It happens every day. And you can't turn away from it. Until Detroit Has a source of income its only going to get worse. Ask Nos About Flint? theres no reversing it. and its to late for the Autos to be that source of income, its days are over. No longer are there factories, but even if they were there you have to be a engineer to work on the "widow maker" (assembly line). What am i doing no one even cares about what i say or that i lost about $40k on my house that i want to sell.
  21. Sometimes its really more of a user problem than a computer problem. general maintenance goes a long way.
  22. I have to do some car repairs i cant push them too longer. We have a week shutdown sometime in april, so that will be sweet.
  23. Its The V8 for me. It is so simple yet complex at the same time. Plus When you open one up theres nothing like hearing it roar. As of yet no 3,4,5,6,10,12 cylinder engine has impressed me as much as a 8 does. Another thing is rarity. Thats why i love the 66 Toronado. Its Unique. Camaros, stangs, and Cudas are every where, yeah there cool but you see to many. I would love to pull out in my caprice or a 66 toro or a 74 Convertible Caprice and spank a Camaro. Also I found my create engine for project Caprice needs more Balls! http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.a...mp;autoview=sku mated to http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.a...mp;autoview=sku I think it should be a sweet machine then. i will probably do it in about 4-5 years.
  24. Camino I will have to kill you know. The Voice said do so. (leave the keys to the GTO on the lawn and I'll let you live) :AH-HA_wink:
  25. Lmao...
