    It's that really hard plastic.I knew about the resistance thing. I already have an electronic flasher rather than a mechanical one because I didn't like the speed of the flashers when I got it.

    If you can get a home filling station, it is way cheaper per gallon

    V6 or V8? I'm guessing V6

    Brighter is what I'm going for. I don't have a high-mount center stop light in the Toronado and I'm not going to retrofit one. On sunny days, I'm not convinced my brake lights are quite bright enough. I've gotten nearly rear ended a few times lately.

    well, not the whole housing, just swapping out the bulb. This instead of this:

    What do you guys think about LED running lights/turn signals/brake lights retrofitted into an older car?

    Looking at National's website, the only EV I can seem to find is up in a non-Airport location in Massachusetts, but their website doesn't really make it easy to find specific cars like that.

    Looks great with those wheels!

    I'd rent an EV for certain trips, but I didn't even know it was an option and not at $500 a day.

    The difference National really kicks in when you hit elite status.... that's when you rent a "Corolla or similar" and end up in a 300c. If you have a National number, you can use it at Enterprise to earn National status. So if nothing else get the Emerald Club and then credit your Enterprise rentals to National.
  12. Drew Dowdell
    I haven't talked you out of Enterprise yet?! Go with National starting in 2014, you'll love the Emerald Executive Elite status I'm sure you'll qualify for. I've had a regular Prius through them before.

    This was out in front of the top end hotel in downtown Pittsburgh. First one I've seen "in the wild", but it didn't have plates and had a box full of Mitsubishi i-miev brochures in the trunk, so I'm wondering if Mitsu is in town doing some presentation.

    I didn't know it was even an option yet.

    The Grand Cherokee has been Unibody since the get go....

    There are a lot more sub-prime buyers who've had problems over the last 7 years who have stabilized over the more recent term. These weren't particularly risky people, but just got caught in the economic downturn and have some credit blemishes for it.

    HEAD STOPPER

    I think it is the Avalon, but that may have changed at the last model change over.

    Happy birthday

    I wonder what the issue is... I've driven two of them, one 4cylinder and one V6, and they seemed fine to me.
  21. Drew Dowdell

    Boo!

    Drew Dowdell replied to Cory Wolfe's topic in The Lounge

    Is anyone else having this issue?

    If Cadillac sells 1 for every 5 Volts, it would be like GM selling 7 vehicles instead of 6. This is a profit margin car for GM.

    It is sexy, but not for the traditional reasons. I think that the supercapacitor will end up being the next big step in hybrid technology. We already have gasoline engines that will do 45+ miles per gallon.... but what kills fuel economy is acceleration. That's where the supercapacitor comes in. You only really need to add boost for short bursts and then recover it in equally short bursts. Don't need a big, expensive, heavy battery to do that.

    Welcome over to my side of the pond James. :-)

    Epsilon will probably need a complete do-over to get its weight in line.
