  1. Strange they had power figures which were not multiples of 5.

    Car Help

    What car would you suggest to someone who has to commute about 120-130 miles daily with approximately 75% highway driving?

    Vis-à-Vis

    Nice shots. Is that your new car?
  4. Come down to FL, let Fly assist you in getting a vehicle. You may get a clean southern truck.
  5. Since we are discussing about muddled lineups. BMW has a glorified Civic, 3 taxi cabs, 2 mommy mobiles, one abomination, one God knows what it is, one slow selling convertible, one ultra slow selling coupe/convertible, and NO super car.
  6. Wow I did not see this. So cute. Heartiest Congratulations to her favorite parents. I think a family picture is in the making.
  7. I saw his house when I was in your area in Nov.
  8. Pontiac Solstice GXP had direct injection in 2005. Yeah engineering is top notch for Lexus considering it built a $375,000 car which cannot beat a $75,000 car. Yeah the engineering is in front of GM considering for nearly a decade it had the biggest budget in F1 racing and did not win ONE race. Toyota is good in re-engineering that is it and even Bum-dai is beating it in that game.
  9. That is a lot of dough for a 2006 SL with nearly 67,000 miles on it. Edmunds dealer value for the truck is about $12,700.
  10. Welcome Aboard and Happy Posting. Please do not hesitate to put your input and thoughts.
  11. If BP was in China and if Chinese were as environmentally conscious as we are, some of the top executives would have got gunned down. There is no defense for BP for continuously ignoring the rig's environmental compliance during operations and continuing to play poor pitiful me cards post-disaster.
  12. What lens are you using for those? T2i is one of the best entry level D-SLRs out there.
  13. CAUGHT DODGE CHARGER POLICE PACKAGE ON I-94 I got glimpse while driving out of the Detroit Airport around noon. The guy did not let me go ahead of him and we both were hauling ass.
  14. Have it on Amazon for $63.00.
  15. Congrats Loki.

    For me?!

    Congrats Boss. That is one clean machine. How far do you have to drive to pick it?
  17. Glad you brought that out. The 911 one has not changed one fracking thing in design, yet it is a success and how the DNA of that car is fantastic. Considering their design team is not spending any time on clean sheet, Porsche may even consider reducing the cost involved in design and passing it onto the customers. Porsche CEO: Herr Mikaele (designer) time haz come to redesign the 911. Porsche Designer: Danke Sire, I will dust off the old files from Sire Ferdinand and see what lamps, bulbs I can change. Magazine Editor: Wow you have put a lot to maintain the car's DNA. Porsche CEO and Designer: He he he.
  18. Since you want it explicitly - Yes knowledgeable Corvette customers believe that there is no checkered flag in the race for improvement. And honestly people who buy for image may not buy again and that is not the customer who you want to keep. There is no point to change the car for these customers because they will spend money even on a Tarted up Aveo if it is called a 911 Turbo and sold with other Porsches.

    Is there something wrong with the acronym or am I dyslexic?
  20. All those questions about improvement of the car that you are asking have been already asked and sought answers by a Corvette customer and answers to some have been given by GM, so there is no point to repeat these. Unlike other fanatics of other cars, a Corvette customer is one of the most informed customer who knows where his/her car stands. And that is why there is no point reinventing or changing the wheel into something else.
  21. You would not be asking this question if you knew who the Corvette customers are.
  22. I had my Chevy Lumina and 2002 Z06 for a while sitting cozily besides eachother.
  23. Again well said. It has to and be like a CORVETTE - a TRUE AMERICAN SPORTS CAR. Accept it for what it is and if you do not like it get on the highway and move on.
  24. Well said.
  25. That is exactly what is wrong with GM's mentality. A customer in hand is worth more than 100 customers in the bush. It is not the car that armchair critics looking for Cobalts will buy. There are people who have bought Corvette every year, there are people who have 16-20 Corvettes and do not own any other car. Like it or not, they are the customers who need to be satisfied rather than a customer who may not exist. And what other performance brand is actually the Vette competing with? None or everyone - because it is a car of its OWN. It does not mix with any other car in the sandboxed car classes, yet it can play with everyone of them. Which other car can fit the description? None. And that is what the Vette Owners, fans want. That has been the credo of the car, that is the credo that has to be maintained. Let the magazines chose which car they want to bring for a comparison with the Vette. It may not win some but it certainly wins many. I will again repeat, most of the people still do not get who the Corvette customers are, and yes they ARE.
