+1. Just to say that the majority of buyers in this group do not care what wheels drive the vehicle.The market needs a vehicle which is good looking, reliable and has tons of technology features. All of which are part of the SRX.

Dear SRX welcome to your new role of prissy mommy mobile. GM

G8 6-cyl CPO.

Turbo or NA?

That just burns. Simply burns.

Again let me rephrase. Apart from the plumbing of the turbo, what is different between the vanilla 5er V8 and the M5 V8? I am not talking about the technology in the car in the thread dedicated for the engines. M's core proncipal has always been about the engine if you look into the history a little deeper. None of the M engines were shared with the vanilla BMWs until now. Just like you harp about the Cadillac sharing 6.2L with the Chevy trucks, to me it is the same analogy for the vanilla 5 V8 and M5 V8. BMW is no different than GM when it comes to bean counters then. New BMW is diluting the M philosophy to make money. What exceptional thing does the turbo M5 V8 bring to the table like the previous V10? Zilch. As for the Hyundai, I will reverse your hypothesis. Hyundai spent additional $300M to make V8's based on their V-6 and 4 cylinders so that the development of 20,000 V8s could be subsidized. GM has volume for the V8 and it can justify an independent V8 development while getting thorough returns for its development.

Let me repeat again. The quantity of trucks that GM sells can make them afford multiple V8s development costs to be spread around and the car V-8's are nothing but more profit on the investment for truck V8. GM's trucks alone sell more than BMW, MB, Audi and Lexus combined volume of vehicles in NA. The number of V8's these car company's sell is less than 25% of what the GM trucks sell with V8's. Yes truckers need more than one V-8 given the requirements. Let us not make BMW and GM comparison. If BMW is such a hallow company why is it sharing the V-8 of its vanilla 5 series with an M5? M5 should deserve a separate engine don't you think so? BMW's latest quest of saving money and charging off the ying-yang will make them go to the brink. The more I look at BMW the more the brand is losing its focus and living on its perception it has created in the media. Another company came crashing down on that perception. I do not want GM to follow that route.

One more thing I noticed is that the left handed guitars are more expensive than the right handed ones. Good to be shafted for not being part of the herd. I am going to go to a local store and try the Seagull and also try the other ones.

Yes it is a Canadian company. Which ones from the ones you mentioned above are NA made?

Seagull S-6 get a great review from many places like these on the internet, that is why I was wondering if you knew about the company.

Thanks a lot WN. How are Seagulls and Fenders?

What is a good acoustic 6-string guitar that does not break the bank and yet has good sound quality?

Hermaphrodite?

Gulftowns ummmmmmmmmmm. I am waiting to build my workstation by the year end.

Before death comes denial.

Somewhere in the cyber world is a hardware equivalent site of cheersandgears, which in 2052 will post a poster like the one below with Toyota and Toyoda replaced by Apple and Jobs. And the art work will be done by a Linuxfan.

5 More Days for the due date - February 1st 2010. If anyone needs deadline extension, please PM me. We have good entries so far. Come on guys, Bring on the creativity!

My friends put them on for the third set. Apparently they did not have road side hazard assistance for the tires.

Be My Wife - That is a good way to propose.

Beat My Weaner

Not a tire defect, seems like the wall of the FL tire was sheared possibly by an object and there was a definite cut on the RR tire. BMW = Bitching Moaning and Whining

It certainly does, but I have been laughing this off and not trying to take it seriously.

You were a little late, remember?

Mom says we don't need one as every time when we see each other, it ends up being one. That is coming from an ultra conservative Indian mother.
