I wish the companies would stop putting raw profit over people's lives and livelyhoods. They'd find a lot less resistance that way.

What are you going to believe... pictures or the guy that owned one and has driven the other multiple times?

But. They. Aren't. Gov. Corbet wants to REDUCE oversight and restrictions. We can't even get the companies to play by the rules NOW.

Rambox has a larger opening but is much shallower, Avalanche saddle bags are very deep, much deeper than Ram, but also lit and drainable,

Well I'm going with overall, not just the interior. I love the Hemi, Ram hasn't officially announced the 8-speed with the Hemi the Ram people tell me with a wink and a nudge. The Ram is easily the best riding truck out there, better than the Avalanche even. It's got the Avalanche rip-off Ram box. It's looks bad-ass from the outside.... the only thing tipping me towards Avalanche over Ram is length. I can only fit so much truck in my driveway and the Avalanche gives me the 8-foot better without the awkward turn around in the driveway.

the Ram is sweet... it would be my pick if I weren't going for a used avalanche.

Just to back up with official numbers, Per Buick, Lacrosse eAssist has a 25% take rate, meaning 75% are V6 models.

Ted already posted a photochop of the new Silverado in a two-tone paint on the Cheers and Gears Facebook wall. So lets have a contest, whip up your best photochop of either the Sierra or Silverado. Do you want an Avalanche version? Chop away. You want to pre-view a new Escalade? Chop away. What about a butch looking Suburban? Chop away! You've got till December 18th and then we vote on it. There will be a prize for the winner. Galleries for you to pull from 2014 Chevrolet Silverado Gallery 2014 GMC Sierra Gallery

The companies try to refuse and thwart oversight at every turn.

The amount of component sharing at Honda is well hidden. When our CR-V had to have the A/C system replaced, I found out that every model Honda of that year shares over 90% of the system. Honda was fighting having to do a recall and got taken to class action due to the self destructive nature of the A/C system (if one fragile component breaks it take the entire system with it). I wouldn't be surprised if we hear about another recall in a few months for other Accord platform models that haven't yet been recalled.

I've updated the video in the first post from the live stream to a youtube embed.

Yea I saw a trailer for GasLand and boy is this movie now that I have seen it just full of false info and outright lies. I am surprised Robert Redford would lend his name to a movie that is so full of lies, but then I guess people hate to learn the truth, they would rather just spread false info in a vain attempt to be eco warriors. Truthland was made to counter all the lies in Gasland and according to the news article I guess the gasland idiots are going to make a follow up film. http://www.post-gaze...th-film-645348/ The issue isn't is fracking safe... the issue is are fracking companies doing the fracking safely? are they disposing of their waste safely? is the extraction being done safely? there is a sufficient amount of evidence to at least raise these questions.... and they are not unfair questions to ask. Those are valid questions, sadly GasLand the movie twists this all into lies with stating that fracking is destroying the ground water, killing off grazing lands for cattle and making your kitchen sinks running bombs. We should always and I do believe based on my own experience that most companies do follow the EPA guidelines for safe responsible fracking and recovery of Natural gas. So many people seem to think you can create energy out of nothing and fight the needs humanity has for fossil fuels. Some of those things have happened though... not because of fracking, but because of unsafe fracking practices. Think of it this way: The general public is typically used to corporations getting away with literal murder and then having the government take the companies' side. Some fracking companies have been less than careful in their drilling practices. I don't blame people for being scared.

Captiva and the SUVs will probably be a year after these two.

I'm planning on an Encore unless the Terrain and 'Nox are downsized a bit. He wouldn't drive them the few times they've graced our driveway.
