They make fuel cells to mount higher in Jeeps for the exact same reason... if you're going to trash your Jeep by landing on some rocks, does it really matter if you hit a gas tank and bend the frame or hit a battery pack and bend the frame?
-
They wouldn't be mounted the same way in a Jeep... and a Jeep isn't going to be rock climbing at 65 mph
-
Still sounds like it could be a fun project.

Did you actually take it home yet?

After the original Athlon64s I pretty much gave up on AMD. I'd be willing to try them again if they gave me a compelling reason to, but cost alone isn't a big enough selling point. Until AMD can build a processor and chipset that is equal or better than the 4th Gen Intel chips, they'll remain a market obscurity. If they could build a laptop chipset that performed like Haswell in speed and power consumption, that also ran an integrated graphics card better than the Intel HD line, I'd sit up and pay attention.

I want to run another cig lighter to be just under my split bench seat in the Toronado... then I can run a USB charger down there for my phone and tablet (which I use as a NAV)

I think making a torque monster Jeep EV rock crawler would be fun.

And here I was hoping GM would find a buyer for the excess Northstars they have laying around. -
Ratchet straps in place of fuel tank straps??
Drew Dowdell replied to 01Malibu's topic in Tech Section
Find the part locally and take a look at it to see if it matches the new part that failed or not. -
Acura still has no direction at all.

BMW News: BMW i8 Spyder Runs Into Some Problems
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in BMW
T-tops would still be neat -
The Pathfinder does the same thing. I think the theory is that if you've already got it going 25mph, you don't need 4wd locked anymore.

I think I like the new Pathfinder better.

Sounds like a job for some photo-choppers!

Hyundai News:John Krafcik Steps Down As Hyundai CEO
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in Hyundai
Interesting that they didn't want to keep him around longer after such an amazing streak of growth.... but maybe he didn't want to stick around either. -
Maybe Subaru can follow up with a BRZ Outback.
-
Sit too high?
-
Because they've been testing them in the area. The GMCs have been down here in the city regularly. Hyundai has been testing here too.
-
A little blurry, but I'm sure one of you Pontiac guys can identify it. I'm guessing a 71 or 72?
-
I've really come around on these also.
-
In some parts of Michigan, that'll buy you 10 houses... with money left over to fix them up.

When I actually went to perform these moves, I changed my mind on some things. I'm not combining Chevy and GMC trucks just yet. I did combine Holden/Opel/Vauxhall. Merchandise lookout and Powertrain were moved and renamed as planned Additionally: Autoshow Coverage, Sales Figure Ticker, Industry News, Motorsports, and Editorials (basically everything in News & Views) have all been combined under C&G Features which is now the new News & Views section. C&G Social Central, C&G Tech Corner have dropped the C&G at the front of their names, this was a name change only. Some of these moves may not make sense at the moment, but they are in preparation for the site upgrade on Jan 5th. I'm using the new software now and it is really starting to come together.

Yes? No? Maybe? Objections? Comments?

This was all part of the economics of the Chevy pullout in the first place. Australia isn't going to pick up the sales slack.
