    oh...i saw that a little ago, it's hilarious, love the paused time.
  2. the macintels have no reliabilty info for them , but they are supposed to be pretty fast, and probably will be reliable as anything else. i agree w/ capriceman, i don't like how they monopolized thier own digital music "conglomerate". i have heard that some problems would be with their service... as in if there was a problem, like , i tihnk something about the last powerbook overheating , was kept lowkey, and tried to pass it off as not a problem...? sorry if i can't give you more of a exact answer on that. too bad you can't build your own laptop like you can desktops/towers. if you buy an ibook, hope you'll be happy w/ it. if dell puts its software on alienware, well i'd wipe it and do a freash install of xp after you got it. hope some of this is helpful.

    that'd be great if one was optional next year ( 08 ), on all platforms for at least one engine

    remindes me of an Xa, but smaller...? could be an aveo alternative if they're close.

    metal to metal.....i had a old buick 83, the shock on the rightside was killing the bushing and had to replace the bushing...but that only caused a noise over bumps....? check your motormounts? do the noises change directly w/ engine speed, not speeddometer speed?
  6. it could be GM is coming going to make the aura redline w/ the manual... she just couldn't say anything about it yet. but i agree that pontiac needs more individual options for the g6 for a suspension option and a cheap option for the 3.9L w/ the 6speed man. which is an option for the 07 gt.

    would this produce something like the EP1 trans? taking the same amount of space, having that big wide ratio , and maybe making it lighter, while increasing the power input allowable?

    is GM working on a 5 or 6 speed auto for the delta platform? or is one allready planned from the "series" that is starting with the 6speed in the aura?

    w/ no personal exp.~ doesn't the new impala shift at or over 60 w/ the 3.5L V6? it will be GREAT when any GM vehicle you buy at least has a 6speed option, but until then they'll just have to give us more power where those shifts happen to land.

    if they are lying liars, are they telling the truth?... and what of himself , you sure this book is non-fiction, or is the the book about itself?

    sounds like we're close in age hoping the bu is as good as the select press, that got to see it, liked it when shown.

    i like vh1's effort to put out these lists, even though some of them "have to be there". they do try to put a good variety in there, keeping the list pretty good.
  14. nice. if i had that cash to blow only on a car, i'd definatly try to obtain it

    i'd say i'm a car audio guy too, but i haven't put in an amp yet, 99 monte w/ a pioneer H/U and 5 1/4 polk dbs in front and 6 1/2s in back.

    '08 is shaping up to be one heck of a year for gm :wink: edit: smily
  18. loki replied to Intrepidation's post in a topic in Toyota
    when i see that commerciali just scoff at how they sure don't say anything real about the car, it's all conjectured "fact". it's a commercial trying to be trendy while anyone that actually knows about this stuff is probably says to themselves... "So, we'll see when the first commercials of gm hybrids show up and how they better make some bitchin commercials for the '08s :wink: "

    that'd be great, if it recieved a V8, prolly be the 5.3 right? definatly help with that highway passing mags allways frown apawn.
  20. interesting spin on a problem supposedly tons of people have. +for title - missleading lol
  21. loki replied to Satty's post in a topic in The Lounge
    hilarious! not trying to make beef w/ you, but i thought these "political" topics weren't supposed to be here? just like an andmin judgement on it....? but yes be a big boon for "tourism" and a way to tax something lots of people would try to use.
  22. loki replied to RJB's post in a topic in Heritage Marques
    just looking at the pics on the first ebay link... the airintake box runs around the front of the engine to the other side?!?!?!!! wouldn't that pose a power decrease problem after the car warmed up in slowish traffic?
  23. loki replied to Northstar's post in a topic in GMC Trucks
    but i thought the idea of the I5 was for gas milage? :AH-HA_wink: sorry, not denying your statement, but it would be intersting if they tuned the 3.9L v6 for a truck, just to be curious..., prolly not add much weight, or maybe make it lighter by a tad too. anyone have info for that? I5 weight v 3.9L weight.
  24. loki replied to Northstar's post in a topic in GMC Trucks
    maybe he's refering to the 3.6 in the lax... new for '07, 10 less horses to go along w/ the weaker 3.8L... ..... i'm joking .. but still that prolly wouldn't surprise some people.
