After expending so much effort into it, why hasn't the Chevy Volt architecture been used in other GM vehicles (besides the ELR) yet? I had anticipated a crossover or compact SUV to hit the market with the same drivetrain by now, albeit likely having a shorter range due to additional weight.
When you parked on the roof, was it relatively filled up? Or was it empty? Wondering if this unclear rule left them with very few people getting to park on the roof.
I'm very intrigued by the 2.7 Ecoboost, but I have that nagging feeling that the bottom line will be in upwards of $40k with it, nicely equipped. No thanks.
So, the new F150 is the Ford Atlas concept redesigned to 2014 Chevy Silverado proportions. I'm disappointed there isn't any hint of the Atlas in the roof design, though I realize it wasn't going to come with a notched windshield. Can't wait to see the MPG numbers on the Ecoboost...
The owner's insurance won't cover it, they know it isn't their responsibility. The police won't arrest the driver for theft, because they know the dealer was ultimately responsible for giving him access to the vehicle. The dealer's insurance is, from what I understand, offering compensation at this point, at a…
100% agree. I'm sure the dealership's insurance company is saying they will only cover the depreciated cost of a 2012 Camaro ZL1. This is the part where the dealer steps in and negotiates a bit more out of the insurance company's offer (they should be good at fighting a better offer, since they work selling stuff…
No shame to be had. I would never want to own an old Ferrari. People who know cars and are interested in cars would just assume it's a fugazi anyhow.
Oh, don't be too scared, if you put enough effort into the Mustang purchase (negotiating w/a few dealers), you should get a lot more back on the Dart than you otherwise would have. With my first car purchase on my own, I did a lot worse than you did, and I bought a Neon, which does not have the appeal of the Dart. …
Is your balloon loan through Penfed.org (Pentagon Federal Credit Union)? Only asking because they offer a loan just like that. If it isn't, you should look at refinancing a 72 month term through them (2.49 apr), or any other lender that can give you a 6 year refinance at something less than 4%. No balloons,…
I assume whenever anyone specifies "gay bar" they are making reference to this song
You must take everything very literally in life :)
Why did they hate him? Did he repetitively ask to drive the train each time he rode?
No, I never did get one! Three or four years I asked for one, even after the system had become relatively dated. At some point, I had already played it enough at friends' houses, but I was still asking for it as a matter of principle. The best I can guess, the founder of Atari must have killed my grandpa or…
I remember once, when I was 7 years old, that there was a box underneath our tree for Christmas. I lifted it, I shook it, felt it's weight. I was certain that it was an Atari 2600. At last... it will be mine... or so I thought.
Okay, I used the power of Facebook search to find a female named Davis who works at that location tied to that number. She appears to be about 18. I doubt very much she is married, and is probably either the one texting you, or is being set up as a joke by the person texting you. It's also possibly just a…
ah, good point about the "I don't recall" element.
This reminds me of going downtown in the early 90's to Joe Louis for Detroit Drive games (Arena Football), Jr. Red Wings games (OHL), and many a Detroit Turbos game (Indoor Lacrosse). The first two were owned by the Ilitch family I believe, so no automotive affiliation...but I am not sure who owned or sponsored the…
I'd normally agree with you, but if they are subpoenaed, and put under oath, they will tell the truth, whatever it is. Besides, Priefer's statement is crafted carefully, doesn't directly refute the 'nuking the gays' comment.
I do think that, while Priefer had a boner for getting you out the back door, the comments about the Pope were probably the defining point. Unless you are a superstar, you can't piss off the Catholics. "They are just too powerful, and the negative publicity will present too great of a 'distraction' from football"…
