    Saw a tattered but still driven '65 Caprice 4dr ht at the grocery tonite...maybe nearly 50 years in the AZ sun had baked the paint, looks like it was a silver blue.

    Pretty sweet, the only negative I see is the dumb name--WTF is a 'Hellcat' ?

    When clean it still looks pretty good.. driveway pic w/ the DTS on a rare (for here) heavy rain day a while back..

    Ya, one advantage of the CO & AZ dry climates...still no squeaks and rattles, it's held up pretty well for almost 14 years of primary use...

    152k miles now...the power window/mirror/door locks issue turned out to be a frayed wire in the wire that goes from the body into the door, common problem according to people on the Jeep forums. Fixed that, oil change, filters, tranny fluid. Running great, A/C is still pretty cold. Probably will need a set of brakes, shocks,and tires later this year. Racking up the miles more slowly in '14 as I've been driving the DTS a lot lately.

    Speaking of buses, I saw a slammed baby blue and white VW doublecab pickup w/ one of those vintage side window swamp coolers in traffic tonight..sweet. And saw 3 XLRs today in traffic--a silver one, a black XLR-v, and a dark blue one.

    Turbo Porsches and Turbo SAABs have long had followings, going back to the 70s...niche models, but were pretty well received back in the day I believe. As far as the here and now, I'd like to see more performance-oriented turbodiesels offered.

    I didn't realize they were still selling the 2nd gen coupe...I thought the '15 CTS was only the 3rd gen sedan.

    I hate how the right wingers oppose paying taxes but still like to use the roads...want everything for free, leeches...

    There is a dark gray late model Aston Martin V8 Vantage parked in my next door neighbor's driveway today.

    Nasty... haven't seen a CTS coupe w/ a top like that, though I saw a CTS-v sedan w/ one a while back.

    Saw a white Aston Martin Rapide in an airport parking garage last night...next row over from it was a very strange '05-10 Chrysler 300--done in matte black w/ large black wheels, and a giant blower thingy w/ 2 carbs and a scoop sticking through a hole in the hood. I don't know if the blower/etc was fake, seemed out of place on a modern car.

    4 speed? LOL..it's not 1980..and this a FWD appliance..
  14. Robert Hall
    Yeah, Fiat probably wouldn't build one for GM NA since they are doing one for Ram, conflict of interest.

    There at least 4 Volts in my office complex, which is owned by ASU....my coworker w/ the Volt is leading the charge (no pun intended) to get ASU to add charging stations to this parking lot, would make sense now as they are ripping up everything to put in solar panel carports over the lot..

    That's pretty much standard culture in most businesses I've been in...don't rock the boat, don't say anything that will draw attention to yourself and potentially embarrass management if you value your career...that's just the way it is.
  17. Robert Hall
    It isn't though..the natural tendency for business is to hide things under the rug and cover it up. Without regulation and enforcement, recalls and recall promptness won't happen.
  18. Robert Hall
    Exactly...I've met a few Tesla owners, and Volt owners..they are intelligent, forward-looking technology-driven professionals..definitely not losers.
  19. Robert Hall
    Yes, same platform as the putrid NYC 'Taxi of Tommorow'...

    I would debate you on that as I think GM did a great job on this from what the original source did. I think the Transit was cool when first out but is not aging well and tiring now. I think this has better long term potential. I expect it to do well for GM. The 2nd gen Transit Connect (2014+) just came out recently..it's hardly 'aging'...and Ford designed it, unlike GM who just applied a minor facelift to a Nissan design.

    Saw a clean rumbly white '57 Pontiac 2dr sedan at the bank this morning...
  22. Robert Hall
    Isn't this the City Express? The Express is still the old fullsizer isn't it?
  23. Robert Hall
    Hmmm...the Chinese version shown last week has a strong Civic vibe to the profile.

    Interesting.. the failure scenario kind of reminds me of what happened a few years ago w/ my Jeep when some sensor failed..the ignition stayed in the on position, but the engine would randomly shut off...no power steering, no power brakes, etc. Not fun when it happened in 75 mph freeway traffic...

    The important work was done in the US by an American company...(design, software, etc). No one assembles cell phones (or consumer electronics for the most part) in the US, I'd rather support an American company...
