  1. If I want a truck, that is what I will get. Great buy. Gorgeous piece of equipment. You can get them on the LT's. Pay like $1250 or something like that over the 17's.
  2. They only like ripoffs made by their own countrymen/ women.
  3. And the Lambdas.
  4. Agreed, but their components are shipped from Japan!
  5. Cheesecake
  6. Although there's a lot that looks familiar under the new car, there's a lot that's brand new, and, crucially, expensive. The short/long-arm front suspension features lots of lightweight aluminum and is bolted to an all-new aluminum front cradle. A large aluminum brace across the engine compartment ties the top mounts together. The steering gear is a premium ZF Servotronic II system, with the rack mounted forward of the front-axle centerline to improve precision. Yet it weighs 2-ton? GM come one give your vehicles some diet pills. Even the 5 series competitor, the 535 which you are trying to attack weighs about 350 lb less than this car.

  8. Call it a Tiger it will eat, call it a Big Cat it will eat. AKA, three years ago when Detroit was dumping vehicles in fleet the media was berserk about their strategy, now when Detroit atrophies the fleet vehicles, they are to blame again!! See media the importance of having Detroit motor vehicles?? You would not be paying off the ying-yang if you stop Detroit bashing.
  9. Cialis

  11. Is it what they will sell when they make a comeback after pulling out of US market?
  12. HOLDEN ALL THE WAY.
  13. I think that is what the S (sport) model is. Have they been out? I thought the 2008 Equinoxes did not come out till late August.
  14. What??? Sky gave away to Yaris and Crapry??? If I remember correctly Sky was in the top 3 of the LGBT list for for most favorite cars of 2006.
  15. Guys, first of all thanks for your help and understanding. I am sorry that I was not able to respond earlier as I was swamped in some work. ZL-1 and Bob, if I may ask, what firm do you each work for? Do you happen to know anybody in McKinsey, BCG, Bain, or Kearney, or as a matter working for any consulting firm who can guide me to the path I am seeking (other than you of course!)? If you have time will you see my resume and provide some insight with it? I am comfortable working with personal questions, and I can handle that part well. And as I said earlier communication is not a problem. One thing which is like a hurdle is the "CASE-Interview" side, which I am not good at, at least now. Can you give me some guidelines about how to attack it? Bob, I do have good understanding about languages. I am fluent in a few languages and have a general understanding in a couple. I think I may take some Spanish classes while I am here in Florida. Like you I am in numbers too. I once amazed my Prof at Purdue when I told me the square root of 0.162 correctly up to three decimal places without using a Calculator. (Enough of my Bragging) Thanks PCS. I do not mind you asking me about my origins at all. As far as my origin goes, let the guess work begin.
  16. Sub-nuclear
  17. Build it JEEP.
  18. Submarine
  19. I would rather have Snoop Dogg F***ing my Guitar Package.
  20. I own them both. 2.4 V-TEC MPFI as well as the 350 LS6. And I love them for their own personalities. One thing is for sure, no matter how much the foreign car makers clamor about their advancement in the fuel injection, a 350 cu in motor generating 405hp and getting 26 mpg in the city is priceless!!
  21. Good one 68. It may be a small field, but manual transmission market is still there and it is non existent for GM. One of the MIT professors whom I work with (82 years old) went with a Passat after being a hardcore GM fan, why? Because the Aura did not have a manual transmission. Now don't call him a sheepling, because he certainly knows what to buy. Here Jilly was telling everybody, well we offer manumatic in the Aura. I was like what an ignorant CEO.

  23. ZL-1 thanks for your comments. Honestly the things which are driving me are: 1. Motivation and determination, and 2. Desire to achieve something higher and something which I know I am capable of doing. On a personal note ZL-1, I was in a car accident almost three years ago on my 25th birthday and it has given me some disability in my left arm (it helps to be ambidextrous). That said the good things which came out of the it was that it made me more determined, calm and patient under stress and helped me gain better focus to my life. I am coming to a point where I think that I am stagnating in Civil Engineering. I do not want to stagnate. I will not mind to go to B-school, but if I can get my experience and my education to work for these firms without going to B-school, why not try this route? I know it is going to be difficult, but hey at least I am moving to achieve something. Will I be successful? I do not know, but I will certainly give it a more than 100% try. And as regards to my inclination to Non-Profits, there are two main reasons: 1. My foster mom passed away on Dec 31, 2006. She was one of my main influences in shaping me, especially when I came to United States. Her brother and I started a fund to help the special education kids in her school for their extra and co-curricular activities. He and I are the trustees, and I want that fund to grow and be a national fund and to shoot the moon an international fund. For that it would be better to understand how Non-Profits work, and rather than going in one Non-Profit organization and studying it, why not see a lot more with different backgrounds? The only way that will help is joining a Consulting firm which caters those firms. Like I said earlier, that is where McKinsey got more brownie points, as it was one of the few who had detailed section about Non-Profits. 2. I was very influenced by the writings of Peter Drucker and his ideas of Non-Profits, and how corporate management can benefit by following Non-profit model of management. Although I love finance, my inclination is more towards strategic, and organizational-operational forms of management consulting. I play chess, and strategy always fascinates me, and I think I am reasonably good at it. The is one thing I have been learning over the past few weeks, to help me in strategic management consulting is the GAME THEORY. It is really a fascinating subject. I think I am emotionally quite strong to handle the fast paced, demanding consulting life. I have no burdens or holding backs to not to do consulting. Besides off the record, is it not cool to offer two cents to a CEO? :AH-HA_wink: and get paid for it. ( )
  24. The point I was trying to make was it is not difficult or too costly to put a manual transmission in an Epsilon, as they have been already having them in the European Epsilon cars.
