  1. I have a TCF online savings and its 5%, so i'd take the HSBC.
  2. Where still on the stock brake pads, are problem is the the disks. We know a set of drilled and slotted rotors will fix the problem but it will void the warenty.We tryed getting the dealer to go halfs on a set of rotors but they won't we told them they can just put new rotors on it every 7,000 miles :AH-HA_wink: We do live in Michigan so our roads are salted and he does drive it 80 miles to and from works every day. So what kind of gas mileage are you getting from your HHR? We are getting 25 mpg on an automatic.
  3. I started with IE then moved to Firefox for tabed browsing, now I use Opera LONG LIVE THE WAND!
  4. I can't see why it would be a bad idea. My dad has 28,000 miles on his HHR and he loves it, only problem is he's on his second set of front breaks. He doesn't ride them and the dealer can't figure out whats wrong and his warranty will cover them to 100,000 miles so is not a big deal. Any other HHR owners having this problem?

    Looks much better (not that I didn't like it before) i'm sure after market parts producers will be all over the new CTS.I on the other hand would keep it stock, no use droping it if it's going to ruin the ride quality.
  6. They added 2 doors to an xA and that makes it better? No that just makes it easier for the middle class white kids to get in and out in their ghetto gear.
  7. I gave her about 2 and a half car lenghts.You cant stop 5,500 pounds of Chevy steel like 3,000 pounds of Honda plastic.
  8. Ummm, wow. I bet some people out there feel bad after ripping on her about how she handled her son dying
  9. I fall in love every time I see the Sixteen. I can't belive they let him smoke in too, but the car was at the last Woodward Dream Cruise and was looking in pretty sad shape. There was quite a few paint chips, a small dent on the rear bumper and a large crack in the glass roof. It's still a nice car, I sat in it and messed around with the interior and what not, the seats are very worn from having so many people sit in it.
  10. I'v never been in a accident but a few months back I almost taged me a Honda Element (the older plastic covered kind). I was diving down Van Dyke in Utica, Michigan anyone who lives here knows Van Dyke at about 4:00 is a death trap. Van Dyke is a divided highway full of the ever popular "Michigan lefts" i'm in the left lane going 45mph, in front of me is a Honda Element going same speed we are coming up on a Michigan left when the Honda slams on her brakes. I slam on mine, knowing im going to hit her I jump the curb into the median and the Honda moves over into the lane for the turn around right in front of me. I finally stop in the lane for the turn around, the woman in the Honda OBLIVIOUS to me calmly drives through the turn around ON HER PHONE! Now I have to try to get back into traffic at rush hour, it took me a good 5 min to get back into traffic the whole time im blocking the turn around lane looking like an @$$hole.
  11. I love it in white, you don't see to many vettes in white but I have to say I like it alot.Would have been nice to see a red stinger style hood though.
  12. Very nice. So what are you going to do with it, repaint, motor swap, build a book shelf with the wood paneling? I would love to watch you build it into a street sleeper, keep the paneling and stuff a HO350 in it. Edit: Sorry after closer inspection I see its not paneling, my bad.
  13. I think finding a dealership to sponsor us with a GMT-900 Diesel and contacting product sponsors from there is the way to go. BF Goodrich has tires on almost every truck in the race and Air Hog air filters offers race quality air intake setups to all races, a lift kit from Fabtech or Skyjacker can be gotten on the cheap if they want to sponsor. Shocks are life if you want to ever walk after the race again Billstine, Monroe or Pro Comp (they do wheels, tires and lift kits too maybe a package deal ) Power can easily be added with electronics from Bully Dog or Banks (Banks has a huge diesel racing background) Don't know any Baja style bumpers that can sponsor but off-road lights from KC Highlights or PIAA are easy to come by, they both sponsor Score trucks in different classes oh and a winch kit from Warn. Hope the ideas helped i'v wanted to do something like this for a while so i'll be gald to help in any way I can including co-piloting the truck or helping to build it.
  14. I was at a superbowl party with some friends and all of ur being big Chevy guys we wrote a Silverado ad they should have run. Hows this for taking a big shot at the Tundra: *show Silverado sitting in a field, enter some GM spokes person like Howie Long* *person walks up to the truck* "This is the all new 2007 Chevy Silverado." *leans aginst the truck* "This is Motor Trend's Truck of the Year award." *sets award on the hood* "This is The North American Truck of the Year award." *sets award on the hood* "This is Truckin' Magazines Truck of the Year award." *sets award on the hood* "This is Car and Drivers Best Truck award." *sets award on the hood* "If it wasn't better why would it have the awards?" *walks off camera* *announcer* "The all new 2007 Chevy Silverado, consider the bar raised."
  15. Very nice truck, so how do you like the interior and ride? I drove a crew cab LTZ and it was smooth as glass I just want to know if the working mans interior is as comfortable.
  16. Well I do live in in hickish Richmond (north of Detroit) I think owning a Tundra or Titan is punishable by death here. The Titan is a good looking truck but they just don't seam to be selling here, the Nissan dealer by my house has had the same 6 Titans for a month.
  17. You don't have a link to the site so I can only guess that there wasn't a lambada in the running, wonder why
  18. The SLR was full of Paris Hilton's extra money and shoes.
  19. I think this is a very good and doable idea but you need to go smaller Dakar is dominated by custom build trucks and cars. What we need is a Score International team, thats right Baja is the way to go for smaller teams. Sponsors are easier to come by (BF Goodrich will but tires on anything) and they have classes for stock trucks, it can cost more than a $200,000 to build and get a team to Dakar it can be done for $20,000 total (build it, transportation and registration included) for a team racing at the Las Vegas PRIMM 300. Plus the Score International has 6 races a year so if the team is not ready we only have to wait a few months for the next race. Score International website With races right here in the US more forum member will be able to help out and Car and Driver loves small teams racing in the US, plus if we have a problem or need a part were not in Africa and can find an Auto Zone.
  20. Synthetic is all ways a good idea no matter what the age of the car, make sure you change the oil filter too. If the car has alot of miles and you dont want to go to synthetic right now 10W30 might be a good idea.
  21. I just got my Car and Driver and they loved it too, almost saying they prefered it to the Pilot. Which gave me a chuckle because the Pilot got best large SUV, but apon some closer reading I discovered that during the 5 best testing there was no Acadia available for testing
  22. I have never seen a Titan or Tundra for that matter working, and I live in a farming area. Why to the japanese trucks all have the shifter on the tunnel, I hate that it just gets in the way put it on the column then i'll tell you i'm not buying it until then i'm not even going to look at it. And didn't I hear that the Titan was going to be cut in 2008 or was I dreaming?
