Keep going! Your goal is closer than you think! [No, it isn't]

Still trying? That's the spirit! One day, your dreams will come true!

I do, in fact. Hence the usage. This is actually getting kind of fun, though, I must admit. Watching you try desperately to not be wrong is mildly amusing. By all means, keep going.

Oh look! Another straw-man argument!

Actually, no, Cadillac does not have dealers in Europe. Small numbers of Cadillacs are made available through GM dealers there, but they do not have dedicated dealers any more.

"Do Lexus and Infiniti keep talking about competing with the germans?"

Nice attempt at a straw-man argument.

Here are the 2013 sales US numbers for several large, premium SUVs:

If it takes being annoying as all hell to get people like this to do good things with their massive amounts of excess cash, and inspire others like them to do the same, then I'm all for it.

"Tell me about it"

So, you bought a twenty-year-old car, that probably wasn't maintained as it should have been (very, very few cars are, no matter what the seller/inspector says), and happens to be one of the early models of the generation, and you're surprised and annoyed that you have to replace basic parts like the alternator and…

Hi Uwe,

Does it have the same proportional measurements as Brooklyn Decker? It looks like it does.

More than anything else, Hot Wheels has been about the power of imagination. Sure, Matchbox and Johnny Lightning cars were always vastly more realistic and could be found in varieties approximating the cars that you might see on the street on any given day. I like that, and I have an old collection of Johnny Lightning…

Oh god, the leaks. I still remember those. I had what appeared to be an intermittent issue in which the brake fluid would become contaminated over time, and it took me the longest goddamned time to figure out why. It turned out that the source of the leak was a little tiny crack in the rear master cylinder; something…

Those little Saturns were terrible cars in many ways (I know; I owned one for eight years and did much of my own work on it), but they weren't entirely without their charms and unexpected capabilities.

I find it funny that this seems so odd or amazing - do you know how many manufacturers put out little four-cylinder econoboxes that were stripped to hell and fitted with heavy-duty suspension meant for low-level grassroots racing?

Yeah, well, freedom isn't free...

Again, the Golf and the TT had DCTs as early as 2003, prior to the release of the Veyron. The business case for the DCT had already been made, and development for the DCT in those two cars began prior to the development of the gearbox for the Veyron. If putting a DCT in something as pedestrian as a variant of the Golf…

That's a shame. I always had an inexplicable fondness for the little things; not really sure why. I just liked them.
