  1. More Fuel. As you are adding another loss mechanism (transmission lines) into the system which is already inefficient. Making electricity with hydro, nuke, etc is far more efficient than with petroleum liquids.
  2. That was 50 years ago. You are more mature now, I guess?

  4. By using internal codes, they display that they know better than common public, who probably do not give a rat's rear for those codes.
  5. It is not GM's but fricking dealerships' fault. Toyota and Honda dealerships are just as bad when they have hot (ho-hum appliances) in their hands. I hope the dealers who behave like this get some stick at the "new" GM.
  6. GM-10 was the code name for W-body platform. It was conceptualized in 1982 and the first W-body came out in 1988.
  7. :useless: +1. Try it. You never know. Be open minded. May be you need a companion, so does she, rather than a "significant other". It will work out still being friends and have someone's shoulder to put your head on after a busy day.

    Good question. I am not planning to virtualize at this point, but eventually I will. My immediate needs are two: 1. 64 bits AutoCAD/ Civil 3D, which a single CPU can handle. 2. Chess!! That kills it. I wanted to use the processing power for game analysis. With new programs coming with multiprocessor capability, more the merrier. I have seen quite a difference when the programs use two instead of one processor.
  9. I was a little surprised to see the tuner support the Cobalt SS has generated since its inception.
  10. That car is spectacular. If you are like me thinking screw the bland interior and exterior the car will give you joy every corner you push it. It is a spectacular handling and performance.
  11. Even in those eras Japanese design was a derivative. It had no styling trademarks like the German and Americans did.
  12. In general. T-H-N have literally zero design which involves emotion. I love the old TL and TSX, but they are nothing to call spectacular like a 50's or 60's Caddy or Chevy. Nissan has been designing piles, Toyota just blandness and Honda went from ho hum to extremism lately. Mazda was generic and in recent past was decent till the new 3 came out !
  13. There was never any design from Japan right since its industry's inception.

    There are plans for the new family of 4 pots multiturbos to have power equivalent to current sixes. Which means a 2.0 odd twin turbo will have close to 300 hp of the 335i and a single turbo to have somewhere around 250hp along with the added fuel economy.
  15. And it is a 350 with a 4-speed, which is rare. That is what got my attention, if you remember, I asked that question in the Oldsmobile Club thread.

    Is there a significant different between Intel Xeon 55-- series processors and 54-- processors having almost same frequency? I was looking for dual quadcore system as my workstation at home and was wondering will the speed difference be significant enough to pay the higher price for the 55-- processors. 5570 Nelahem 5450 Harpertown
  17. If you are taking it back, you will not have to pay for taxes. It will be all the price. As for me, I got thinking, I need a workstation-PC more than a car. I already have two cars and my new apartment people are already cringing for me having them. Imagine what they will do if I put a third one, which they will think to be a "clunker." If I take this one to my girl in MI and keep it in our condo - get ready for me being slaughtered. Besides that I do not have any time for restoration and I would hate to drive it like without any.
  18. If you want, fly into Orlando, and I will take you up there.
  19. No personal attacks please. Attack the premises and conclusions.
  20. Any guesses for if they indeed move the production out, that it will make national news forget getting a backlash?
  21. Dude, I want it in all seriousness. I was asking, is it worth the price.
  22. On a serious note! What do you think of this one?
