Every GM product my family has owned (at least 8 that I can remember; minus the one truck that was stolen and burned) has been extremely reliable, and lasted well beyond 100k miles. Current vehicles are a 2001 Sierra with 180k miles, and 2005 Envoy with 130k miles, a 2007 Corvette with 110k miles, and a 2015 Malibu…

So the goal now for the day is to find the most avant garde small crossover currently being sold in the U.S.

Yes, you’ll need the entire day.

Knocking the Equinox is like knocking a certain brand of vanilla ice cream for being just as vanilla as all the other brands of vanilla ice cream.

I found this illustration from someone in the focus group. It was called Project Yanomami

The new one looks like a minivan. Irony being an actual minivan would be more useful.

I’m morbidly curious as to what the rejected design looked like.

So, forever GM has been chastised for not listening to its customers. This time they did, which affected an entire redesign, while making it more visually appealing, offering more space than its predecessor while also being substantially lighter, giving it a more spirited power train and also offering a diesel (which…

Where’s the pictures of the scrapped one???

But where are the pics of what we were going to hate more?

I use to travel for work... I had been down in Orlando, FL and was headed up to Atlanta, GA to lead a training session. I spent the night in Lake City, FL and started out to finish my trip the next morning. I stopped at a Waffle House in Valdosta, GA for lunch. (Don’t judge me, the Texas Bacon Chicken Melt is…

I dig it! This one was on my car for a while. I regret nothing.

The Passat has become, to my eyes, an awfully dull car. But I would still choose it over the antiquated Charger, bloated Taurus and the hideous Altima with the bad CVT. The Impala is quite nice, but it seems to be a size-class higher, like Avalon or Maxima. I’d have to drive one first.

Yeah, Starship Troopers was excellent because it was a highly self-aware low-key parody of its source material and its own genre, masquerading as a mindless B-movie.

This x1000

Starship Troopers was awesome though.

Not Kansas, Boise, Idaho. Very similar experience. And I like the Volkswagen better anyway.

Why do car manufactures put up with their dealers being assholes? I love cars, I hate buying cars. I will likely never buy a Toyota because of an experience I had with a local dealer that lied to me and tried to screw me. I ended up with a Volkswagen, partially because the dealer was so easy to work with. Next time…

Back in the day at the Hyundai store I used to work at, the managers ran a “key” mailer. They hired a promotion company to mail out flyers with keys stuck to them. The gimmick was to come in and if the key started the car in the showroom, you won the car. To make it legal the promotion company had to mail out an…

If you disgorge an antelope, does that mean it’s a cantaloupe?

Sitting duck.....I see what you did there

Dogs can be a little strange, and sometimes I wonder if, at particular moments, they see our hands as completely separate from ourselves, as if our hands are their own entity.
