Those things are like a time machine, they take me back to the days of the Spice Girls.

Its going to lose money, every first-gen hybrid loses money, but GM's problem is going to be convincing people to pay more for the Volt than comparable hybrids. If they cant convince people to fork over $40k on the first gen, there wont be a second gen. When it comes to taking buyers from other brands, GM is EPIC_FAIL.

If GM (or anyone else for that matter) would pull their head out of their ass and come up with a real compact pickup, I'd be thrilled.

I'm still skeptical of GM's ability to get people to shell out that kind of money for the Volt. If they start the Volt at $40k, the Prius starts at $18k less, thats a big deal. If Lexus starts the HS 250 where the Prius tops out ($33k give or take) then GM will have to convince people to pay more for a Chevy thasn for a Lexus. GM will have to sell the technology hard and hope people are willing to pay a premium for it. And dont give me any "tax credit" b.s. because the tax credit doesn't reduce the amount financed or monthly payments.

MINI-Keep until its paid off, if not longer Buick-Keep, restore Prius-Keep until the warranty runs out, probably another 2 years. I've completely forgotten how long the extended warranty on it is. Undecided on the trade-in, depends on circumstances at the time, I'd like a Mustang convertible, but we'll see.

He's just holding it 30 years so he can sell it to 68 for $750.

I saw a Syclone in traffic today.

Huge discounts on an outgoing model, yeah, thats a shock, GM would never do that.

Anything is possible, this is GM. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if the cloth panels were only came in certain years in certain trim levels with certain radios or some other random option on cars assembled on the 1st-8th and 21st-26th of the month. As for replacing them, that might end up being a huge PITA, you'd have to pop the door panel off and see if that one part can be removed. It might be easier and cheaper to replace the whole door panel than just the insert.

$ vinyl < $ cloth Only thing I can think of, GM did a lot of random decontenting, things like the glovebox light and passenger side key hole.

booooooooooooooooo

You wouldn't be laughing if you had seen what the Sebring put me through.

One of my guys came in with a really bad hangover this morning. If I were a real jerk, I would have called him every ten minutes because our phones are really annoying. But I didn't do that, I must be getting soft in my old age.

The worst part of a long weekend is here. I really dont want to go back to work.

It was tested in reality, and it was debunked in reality. You're more than welcome to develop this hypothetical conveyor and prove everybody wrong, but I'm not going to hold my breath. While you're at it, you can also disprove Schrödinger's cat, since you're obviously brilliant when it comes to quantum mechanics.

Websites that let you look at Toyotas are free. Websites that let you look at poop (and people pooping on each other and doing other poop-related activities) cost $39.95/month +1 Toyota from a customer's point of view +1 poop from a business perspective

Lance Armstrong (I hate that man)

Apparently it is, since you're going off PINGASing all over the place for no apparent reason.

Duh!

That was totally shot with a disposable.

Its either a G6 or a G8. PCS has expressed his disdain for Holden and the G8 many times, and, as I recall, has stated that he'd never buy an American car not built in North America. But he said both cars would likely be headed for Barret-Jackson, which pretty much rules out the G6 because nobody, no matter how delusional, could believe the G6 will ever be considered a collector's item.

If your music is on iTunes, they're mpegs, either ripped from a cd, downloaded or converted from an mp3. Thus, if you burn through iTunes, you're making a cd of mpegs, not mp3s, which will play like a normal cd you got from a store, unless you're in a mid-90's Chrysler, then it will spit pea soup at you and rape your entire family. So you should be fine.
