Some of us have known about the wiring mess for years. I have an On-Star car. I don’t pay for the On-Star, but I need to replace the stereo. I don’t want another factory job. however, the wiring harness to interface a Alpine stereo to an On-Star car costs more than the stereo.

We all know one thing by the numbers alone. NAFTA was drawn up to help big corporations make money. That is an undeniable fact. They spend less money on labor, land, and facilities, as well as taxes. They make more profits, since the cost of a car doesn’t go down any when they moved production. They pay less in…

I must admit I get confused about the newer generation of Hollywood types.

Our FlexFuel car gets about 100 miles to a tank LESS on e85 than it does regular gas. That’s a big reason not to get it.

Buick LaCrosse V6.

My car actually says use 89.

We had our engine ‘re-tuned’ to run on regular. Is that a normal and correct thing to do? They (Buick Dealer) did some things with the computer and a couple of sensors.

Getting mugged in a dark parking garage.... priceless.

Concepts are cute. But I never get excited about them. We never, EVER get the coolest ones, or even remotely similar features by the time marketing and the financial guys get through with it.

These people are as stupid as the programmers for the dieselgate computers... “We put all this stuff in there, but you must promise to never, ever use it on a public road.” *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*

I hope they DON’T change anything. I want the same plain, ordinary A-Class I drove in Norway. I thought it was great. All those companies make regular cars for regular people over there. But marketing has Americans believing they only make luxury cars. They will probably put a ton of crap into it and jack the…

Yeah, I thought I would like it, but I’m as thrilled as I was with the Equinox (which wasn’t much). It’s sort-of cousin, the Encore, is nice, though I don’t like all the extra it costs for fluff.

You left out; “And I have a Costco membership.”. You need something for the 48-pack of paper towels.

I don’t know if you’re just a minivan owner or what, but that isn’t very accurate with the modern CUVs. Every minivan I’ve ever driven digs the front in if you make a turn at more than 10 mph. I get better mileage than my neighbor’s Quest in an 8-year old HHR. And the hood thing (that part that sticks out in front…

Maybe that’s why I still like my HHR.

We used to call them thangs ‘station wagons’ in the olden days.

Sooth. Modern ships are big. Navy ships are outfitted with tons of the best RADAR, SONAR, and any other -AR stuff. The level of incompetence that lets it collide with another ship must be high indeed.

But it was fine for the dems to shove laws down our throats, amiright?

One thing that really scared me was the proposed tax. When someone let the plan out of the bag, of course, it was discarded. But the system would have worked as such:

I’ve really never heard that before today. Over here in the Colonies, they’re just called stantions, or some such. Usually they’re put in front of stores, like Target or Best Buy, in a vain attempt to keep people from getting run over.
