I'm just curious why every brand wants to move up market when the whole market is moving down.

It already is? It's the same basic concept as the 2-mode.

enough of my disability, back to Saab

You can sketch it or you can chop it. No limitations of what to use as a base. Will you make it an on road sports crossover like the X5 or will you make it a versatile off road mountain goat like a Range Rover? Either way, if you submit the winning design, you'll win this 1/14th scale Remote Control Cadillac Escalade. Voting starts on June 1st, get it in before then.

Image. GMC or any Escalade could, but you never see them on the Discovery Channel with a cameraman on the roof sitting amongst a herd of gazelles. If GMC wants to get in that market, they need that sort of product placement.

Range Rovers may not go off-road as much in the U.S., but you know they are capable of it, and that's part of the reason people buy them..... because they can go through Africa.

I am sometimes still guilty of saying "wadder"

They're not gonna use the 2.8T. They are moving away from that engine. I would expect it to be a 3.0T which is going to be going into other Buicks also.

My sister still lives in the house we were brought up in from birth in Trenton and she talks like that.

Do you have a link with information for me?

On the fast charge cycle, an hour is a quarter charge. Lots of people can blow an hour in these stores. Granted... most of these are just PR stunts, but it's a start.

Best Buy is just one. The next largest (larger?) rhymes with Grown Cheapo. There is also at least one large restaurant chain that I know of.

Anyone else here read "Hawtai" as hottie in "Jersey Shore Accent"?

Major Metros at first, but there is more than one major ubiquitous retailer that will be rolling out charging spots nationwide.

It's like if John Deere contracted with GM to paint a bunch of TopKick's green and sell them at their own dealerships.

Don't try this at home kids...

Charging stations are coming.... big time.

Purdue with numbers FTW.

The Volt is a transitional car till the recharging infrastructure gets built. Trust me on this one as someone who works in the energy industry, it's going to happen faster than an iPhone release.

The manager of desktop support in Canada Me: We're having a problem where the user isn't getting the Gateway setting in VPN. Them: Try flushing the DNS cache. Me: What?.... no.... the DNS settings are fine. The computer isn't picking up the Gateway setting. Them: Well you could try flushing the DNS cache. Me with my head in my hands: Well yes I could do that... but it's not going to fix the problem because the problem is with the Gateway not with the DNS. Them: why don't you just try it? Me:...... me: ok, I flushed the DNS and I still don't have a gateway, what now? them: what about changing the DNS server? me: ok, I gotta go.

I suppose that I should have mentioned myself on the list

I waited till I got home.

By the looks of it CAT...... is owned by Jaguar.

As some of you know, I've been in I.T. for a long time, but I'm working towards a career change. My employer is paying for all the training needed for me to get my (CAPM) and eventually my PMP certificate. I'm really not helpdesk, but some of the VPs, and SVPs like to come to to me for help because they like me better. Yesterday was really a kinda day already, but this conversation on the phone with an SVP has really inspired me to accelerate the career change. Picture me with a headset on, head in my hands on the desk saying "no... power off the computer..... no... that's the screen.... power off the computer...... yes I know the error message came back when you rebooted.... you powered off the screen.... I need you to power off the computer......yes... the box on the floor." So... if any of you are in a project management career or have taken the test, I'd appreciate some tips. my.... sanity... depends...
