This is such a joke and a waste of time.

Have you moved out of Saginaw yet?

Audis have always been nice. The front end especially has remained true to form of the years.

Nice purchase.

It's not just the Cobalt.

The G5 has done MUCH better than GM anticipated. MUCH better.

Would a piercing cause the metal detector at the airport to delay your boarding?

Nope.

I wouldn't count Kilpatrick out just yet, he may rise like a Phoenix from the political ashes. Just like Mayor Marion Barry did in Washington, D.C..

And that's exactly what I have heard from several Detroiters today. He's already being compared to Marion Barry and he hasn't done 1 day in jail. Wait....scratch that he did. My cousin actually booked him when he did a night in jail a few weeks ago.

The point I'm trying to make is........Kwames not done, not by a long shot.

I have both.

Of course the location of the tattoo will have a lot to do with what kind of pain you will feel. The tricep or inside of the arm is the absolute worst to get a tattoo, that's pain.

Now the nipple ring, when I got it, it was random and spontaneous. I got my left nipple ring done, the pain really wasn't that bad. I didn't yell, cry, yelp or pass out. I sat there and watched the guy do it in fact.

I did make a mistake and I had my girlfriend at the time change the ring after only having it for two days. The next morning skin started to form over the ring and when I tried to move it to clean it in the shower with bactine I nearly passed out the pain was so bad. So, if you go for the nipple ring, MAKE SURE to leave it in the amount of time the guy piercing you says to!

As for sensation......your nipple will touch your shirt and you'll immediately know it...in a good way! The sensation it adds is something that has to be experienced and can't be explained.

It's a test fleet car, those things aren't broken in like a car would be if it was your personal vehicle. Reviewers like to beat the snot out of a car the minute it rolls off the assembly line.

By far am I saying that's an excuse, but it could play a major part in parts failing. Those things get wrecked and beat up on in no time.

Oh could I share some stories!!!

Pontiac is Holden all the way through.

You'll see when Holden shows their E-Flex model.........guess what? It's a performance model and it's what Pontiac will become.

Don't fret about Pontiac....it has a future in the electrification of the automobile and it's the "performance brand" of electric cars.

Monster torque!

What about the train of thought that says a large GM luxury vehicle must have a V8? Yes, there are people/buyers out there that demand a V8 in their Cadillac.

Is GM going to abandon these buyers?

Next Gen Solstice.....E-Rev.

I'll be in heaven.

The Livonia engine plant is set to cease production at the end of 2010. This hasn't changed, so if the DTS and STS are going to soldier on then somebody might want to clue Livonia in on that.

One thing I'd like to see happen to Livonia is for the plant to be used as a second assembly site for GM's new 4 cylinder engine set to be produced in Flint. I have a funny feeling that GM won't be able to make enough of the new 4 cylinder motor at Flint and Livonia seems like the perfect place for additional capacity for the engine.

It's not from the host, it's when the web-site is being backed up.

When I do back-ups of the gm source my site goes down and the same error is displayed. The back up overloads the server. Trust me, it's normal.

Yes, a 'typical' Volt buyer would never consider anything with a V8 or remotely fun..they want green, practical, generic. The Volt has to go after the Prius intenders...

I hope you're not being sarcastic because you hit the nail right on the head.

I am typically a Volt buyer but could be swayed to buy one if they look this good and they are priced right. Still prefer a nice G8 or Camaro tho.

You just said you're a "typical" Volt buyer. Then you said you prefer a nice G8 or Camaro.

Dude...you're not a typical Volt buyer at all!

So if they do a performance version, will it be called the Volt Super Shock? (SS)

Pontiac has the performance E-Flex all wrapped up. :AH-HA_wink:

I love Bob.

This car saves GM. Count on it.

"Surprising Intuitiveness"

Really?

Photoshop.

Didn't we see a look at the new Equinox interior in spy shots? It's easier to change the Vue's interior to share that of the Equinox.

The Volts center stack is pure touch.

Here's a pic of the new Equinox interior for reference.

Compared with:

The two-tone paint is slimming perhaps? The Traverse is the largest Lambda, isn't it..longer behind the rear axle I thought...

Oh it is longer by I believe 2 or 3 inches but it sure does look small. Perhaps it's the "swoop" on the rear fender that does it? The grille also makes the front seem smaller than it really is.

They are starting to pop up here in metro-Detroit. That's just one that I've saw in the last day. I've seen about 3 or 4 traveling in the area. This was the LTZ model. Really sharp looking, but ....honestly it looks small compared to other Lambda's. Not sure why that is but on the road and in person the Outlooks looks MUCH larger.

Here are a few more pics from GM.

I've got a few more over at my Traverse forum www.ChevyTraverseForum.com

Hey,

I was curious as to what had happened with you. I read your 'Day in the Life...Day 1' but never saw a subsequent entry.

Hope all goes well for you.

Just busy with work at T-Mobile and school. Time is a rarity it seems these days. I may do more of them because it was really interesting to see how things went down in a GM/UAW plant. One thing is for certain. Safety is #1 and quality is a close second as I'm sure you can imagine.

One minute though they are preaching quality and telling folks to "stop the line" if they notice something going down the line that's wrong, has a bad part or whatever reason the line needs to be stopped.

But when the line is stopped....they all rush over and say they can't have that. Well which way do you want it? Do you want a quality product no matter the amount of times the line needs stopping or do you want the line to continually run?

Yea....we sucked this year.

We still have the Red Wings and Marion Hossa!

I wanted to say "around here"....but I think I lost my brain this weekend..... (rough weekend)

Anyways, good to see you back man.....

I thought that's what you may have meant but I wasn't too sure and didn't want to jump to conclusions.

C&G still has a place in "me" if you will and I feel like there's unfinished business but as they say "business is business." This site is a great web-site and one that has a ton of potential and a great membership base around it. The community feel here is great and can't be match elsewhere.

I'm not here for any other motives than to enjoy a great GM community forum with people that I've grown to know, at least on the Internet and hope to ease back in to the community.

A change around would be good....

Glad to hear your dad plans to stick it out for a few more. The old man was in a closing plant and saw this as the last time a buy-out would be offered so he took it and hasn't looked back since. He does more around the house to help out my mom so that's always a plus and a good thing.

What did you mean by "a change around would be good???"
