1 GM Recall?

That article re the AWD was interesting.  The comments following it not so useful, though.  I'm leaning toward a good AWD sedan for my next car.  I love my G35 coupe, but the RWD make it nearly useless as a backup car to my  main grocery getter / work ride for about 1/3 of the year.  Audi A6 Quatro looks nice, and perhaps even half-way affordable if a used one can be found.  Any other ideas? 

 

8 True story — mid-’70s, Times Square. Tom Poston and Jerry Orbach are walking along with a reporter. A disheveled fellow approaches them and says, “I’m not going to lie to you, I need a drink.” Poston reaches into his pocket, pulls out a buck, extends it, then withdraws it briefly, saying, “How do I know you’re not going to spend this on food?”

9 It frickin' snowed again last night.  Damn it.  If, in addition to his other powers, Superman was in charge of snow, someone should go up to him and punch him and say "Stop that, Superman."

Even if the government weren't the owner, I think GM would not get much hassle over this one.  It doesn't sound like there's much of a safety issue, and so far there is no word of a cover up. 

I agree that the government is probably going too far over the Toyota problem, but that's what they do.  The domestics have been raked over the coals in the past as well.  It's annoying, and sometimes unjust, but does have some utility.  During my 13 years of working in the auto industry, I've learned first hand that the big automakers, the OEMs an Tier Ones, hide shit all the time.  Only the fear of an even bigger organization (the government) beating them up keeps them even half-way honest.  The fear of losing long-term customer loyalty isn't really as big a concern for the bosses as you might think.  After all - they've all got their golden parachutes lined up already.

That article re the AWD was interesting. 

My car with AWD performed FAR better than my car with 4WD during the lastest blizzard. I don't know if that's because of the drive or because it is significantly heavier. The AWD car is lower but bigger/heavier. It does have a gas addiction problem though. It also has the added benefit of the choice of non-clutch shifting so on a snowy road you can do your own shifting/driving in 1st, 2nd etc.

18 GoW3?

27 I don't understand AWD. I drive a RWD car in the snow and as long as I don't get stupid with the skinny pedal, everything is fine.

AWD is the way to go, would not buy a car without it. It's not only for snow but rain. It's usable at least 1/3 a year. Audi's are great cars, great build quality. My car is 6 years old and the paint looks like new. Great accident protection also.

37 Damn I still have not figured out this sock-puppet thing. Woops.

38 Due to your brilliant leadership, hundered of thousands of teenagers will be deprived of the thrill of buying and or getting  a marginally crappy first car. Thus, depriving them of the motivation to work a summer job, save their money so they can upgrade to a marginal car.

Mallamutt, you realize that was an intended result, right?  Lack of wheels = lack of opportunity to better self/situation; lack of opportunity = more clamor for gov't largesse.

They're not stupid.  They're evil.

45 I am personally enjoying making my teenager miserable by handing down to him a 96 ford windstar van. The deep shame may kill him but I think that it is building character. It runs.

What happens when they want/need a new car 10-15-20 years from now? They have to earn it. Besides, it's cheap to insure, the taxes are negligable, I'm not stressing about dings, and he is in something pretty big if he gets hit.

A question, or two...

out of curiosity...

Didn't Barry say he was going to focus on jobs? 

Did everyone who didn't have a job get one... while I was sleeping?

No more people on the verge of loosing their homes?  No more hungry children?

I know - I know... Rhetorical!

Mark my words.  Barry will not only go down in history as the most abjectly incompetent President in the history of this country, he will go down as the most indifferent, self centered jackasses ever to have drawn breath on this planet.  And this planet has been diminished for him.

51

Snowing in Atlanta again.  I'd have to leave the office now to make it home by 5.

Do they even have plows and sanding trucks in Atlanta? I can't imagine anyone can drive in it. It actually snows in DC and they seem to forget year to year and demand that the streets look pristine in 24 hours so their prius can get through.

52 Tuesday has acted stupidly.  Monday is a great day and always will be a historic day in the time of my reign over America.  I apologize to the world for how Tuesdays used to be, however Tuesday was already in a dire situation when I became King......and so on and so on.....

53

Good Morning and see you later. I have one hour to get the kids dressed and to the dentist.

That sound you heard is not me wimpering. Nope.

54

 Barry will not only go down in history as the most abjectly incompetent President in the history of this country, he will go down as the most indifferent, self centered jackasses ever to have drawn breath on this planet. 

Gee, it's like he was elected by a bunch of drugged out loons and he didn't have any experience and no one knew anything about him.....hmmm

Question is will the media (answer: yes) still not vet the next libtard to run for president? Did they learn anything? (answer: no)

Think about this very, very carefully.  Do you really want an America-hating unreconstructed Marxist like Barry focused on jobs?

57 63  I think he should take another vacation.  This time stay away longer, like maybe a year or 3.

58 From Zero Hedge but have read this before on other financial sites:  you get this video.  "German ProSieben TV Channel Finds 500 Gram Tungsten Bar At W.C.Heraeus Gold Foundry With Bank Origin"

That's such a bullshit non-story. Zero Hedge is OK in small doses, but they have this seriously stupid tendency to take a single data point and then leap to ridiculous conclusions from it. This is one of those times. All that video is, is just a clip from a TV documentary showing what goes on in a gold foundry, saying as an aside that now and then in the gold business they do see fakes. To Zero Hedge, that becomes proof of a massive conspiracy of some sort.

59 @57 They have some equipment to deal with it, dagny, but not as much as some places.  And, really, it wouldn't matter anyway.  The drivers here suck in a somewhat intense rainstorm.  Put snow on the ground and most of Atlanta drives like they've never been behind the wheel of a car before.  It's very frustrating.

Your son will grow to love his van. There's plenty of places to hide the weed and liquor, and with the seats removed or folded down, it is a sex parlor on wheels! On one drunken, post-coital moment, he will bless you for your inspired choice. Oh, and it is also good for transporting hobo corpses.

This vistit should be completely covered by insurance. Unlike anesthesia, which is optional...

 

62 60 I called my insurance company when I was about to get rid of the van. They told me that if he had his own old big crappy car then the rates would be lower. I'm in the same place with the driving to catholic high school plus football, wresting, and lacrosse. His having a car also keeps all that smelly boy shit out of my car and keeps me from gagging all the way home. Once after making weight for wrestling he wanted a triple classic from Wendy's ---the smell of than and stinky boy made me gag so hard I had to drive with my face out the window like a dog (a dog who drives anyway).

You know, it is concerning.  My friend bought one of those expensive light bulbs that is supposed to last 5 years.  It lasted less than 6 months.  She went back with it to the store and they told her that she needs the original packaging to return her twenty dollar light bulb as the Chinese manufacturer won't take it back from them and give a credit unless they have it.  She was furious.  Who saves the box their light bulb comes in?

64 Jobs? Oh we're gonna focus on jobs baby. You can be sure of that. Hmmmmm...

Curious, I have a similar story regarding a DVD player, and I had all the original packing except the styrofoam peanuts -- so the Chinese said NO. Thank God I had paid for the thing with a credit card on my USAA account. They contacted the retailer and said give her a refund or else.

Moral of story: buy everything Chinese and fallible on a credit card.

Venezuela has one of the largest oil reserves in the Western Hemisphere. We don't hear of Hugo Chavez doing much to help the people of Haiti or Chile.
 
We Americans are starting to agree that we need to think about America first, rebuilding America before we can take care of our neighbors.

GM is a a wholesome, American company with good, American Union workers that are just like you and me, and the only reason there's a recall is that they are concerned that something could happen that may hurt an American some day, which is something GM could never, ever let happen, so this recall only proves what a good, ethical company they are!

110 curious,
just saw the video...
As far as I can tell Tungsten (W) is used because the density is a perfect match, and it looks from the video that the Au layer is 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. so a fake will look and feel like real Gold. X-ray should work but an individual cant do that. Drilling is good, but it is destructive.

Another way is to look for  creases in the casting. It would have to be poured in two steps to allow an insert and the two pours should leave a crease or at least a difference in surface appearance.

111 Remember that scene in "Lost In Translation" where a Japanese prostitute is sent to Bill Murray's room to do a rape fantasy?  If she were sent to Scarlett Johansson's room instead I'd buy the DVD and never stop watching it.

I sent this out on the list serve this morning and I feel like I opened pandora's box.  One or two of my WS friends were saying this but had no proof and they were encouraging people to buy through an ETF rather than privately because they knew about this, but it was a rumor.  To their credit they said months and months ago that there was a rumor about gold.   This morning they found out how many of our friends ignored them.

119 another point on gold,
For a Tungsten insert to work it would have to be  pretty big bar of gold. no one would do this for a one ounce or ten ounce bar. For those it is best to just see if the surface is soft. Gold is very soft metal and will give rounded edges and a lot of dings and dents every time it bangs something.

Lead would be too soft and anything else would be too hard. This is the basic "tooth" test you see old prospectors do in th movies....

Proof to them that you are better off buying in an ETF cause they check every bar and have to have every bar, rather than trying to buy on your own.   I haven't bought gold cause I don't buy the hype.

50 I am personally enjoying making my teenager miserable by handing down to him a 96 ford windstar van. The deep shame may kill him but I think that it is building character. It runs. If he wants something less embarassing then he has to earn the money. This buying 16 year olds new cars which are not embarassing I find to be dispicable. What happens when they want/need a new car 10-15-20 years from now? They have to earn it. Besides, it's cheap to insure, the taxes are negligable, I'm not stressing about dings, and he is in something pretty big if he gets hit. 

Dagny, there's a better option:

1987 Buick Riviera, complete with Boat Fenders hanging off each side.

Why? Because US military restrictions won't let me buy a used M1A1 Abrahms tank for my 16 year old. THAT'S why! Because as a parent it's a safe presumption that your kid doesn't know how to drive until after they've had their first accident. That was true of my high school classmates. It was true of all my nieces and nephews. And it's true for my own kids today. After the first wreck and accident report, it's amazing how vigilent they suddenly become. Until then your only acceptable strategy is to get the largest boat you can find and wrap that sucker in bubble wrap before you let them out on the highway.

Also, I agree. You're not doing your kid any favors to provide them with a car, insurance or gas. I can provide those things. I let them earn them for themselves. It's called "self respect" and it comes with responsibility. Like paying for your own way.

141

What's this with buying any car for your high schooler?  My kids didn't get a car until they bought their own, when they were out of the house for a year and a half and had saved up the money.  While they were at home they got to drive the farm truck (and do errands while they were out), and there was always the bicycles...or the leather covered all terrain bipedal conveyance system (or they could pop for some gas and get a ride from their friends).

Yes, they had part time jobs all through high school too, but they didn't get to buy a car with it, because we told them up front we wouldn't help pop for mechanic work, tires, gas, or anything, so why not wait instead of blowing the money on a junker?

In the comments on one of the financial blogs I read they were talking about the fact that so many people just exhaust their benefits and go off the rolls and they aren't counted in the figures so the figure is, in reality much higher and will continue to go higher.  They were also discussing the cut in medicare to doctors and whether or not their grand mas will be able to get appointments with the docs.

They ran it up the flagpole last Thursday (on the weekly unemployment numbers) and nobody called bullshiat so I'm sure they'll try it on the monthly figures.

Would you expect ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, the NYT or the WashPost to call the Obama administration out on it?

145

I'm proud to even have made it in.  Even prouder that those driving around me were on their toes.  Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way.  The streets are for the living.  Nothing worse than a block-long gap in the parade.  I want all lanes tightend up like NASCAR at Talladega.  Wake up and drive.  If I had any strength left would describe yesterday and taking the dogs to doggy day care.  How do people with kids do it?  I am so impressed.

As for AWD vehicles, love my SRX V8 AWD but the new ones are rebranded off other fine vehicles but not the CTS so can't speak for them.  Also, they're not as outright gorgeous as my '04.  The SRX makes one over-confident because of it's mountain goat sure-footedness.  When the line appears to be sending one into the ditch, apply a little accelerator, steer where you first intended and once again we're off to the races.

Even with the handling and the sometimes six month utility in this neck of the woods, still prefer four wheel drive for gas mileage purposes.  Use it when I need it and don't otherwise.  AWD sucks up the horsepower like there's no tomorrow. 

My '03 Chevy Avalanche Z71 was amazing.  Nothing stopped it including three feet of snow.  Acceptable gas mileage and limousine comfort levels.

146 I did see an interesting note on insty that the brooklyn d.a. that won't prosecute acorn happens to be a member of acorn/working families party.

147 This is a serious question.  A friend of mine said that he is concerned that he won't get his tax refund from his state and from the feds this year.  He is making us all nuts.  Is that even a possibility?  Don't they have to give you back the money you overpaid?

For all the vilification that goes on about the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil credit card companies, they're great to use to go to bat for you when you've gotten fucked by a company.  Case in point:  A little over a year ago I cracked up my car and the insurance provided a loaner through Hertz.  When I picked it up from Hertz the guy there told me that I should sign up for collision insurance on it through Hertz because my insurance wasn't covering it and if I bought it anything would be taken care of with no questions asked.  The guy seemed honest so I said ok.  After I eventually turned it in and was doing some paperwork with the insurance adjuster I mentioned it to him and he told me the guy had lied to me and I was completely covered.  I thought WTF and called up the branch and they gave me no satisfaction so I called up Hertz's national office where they also gave me the big yuck fou.  I was so fucking pissed by then that I called the credit card where I'd made the charge and told them what happened.  They opened a case on it and sent me a letter where I provided info and documentation to prove I had been covered.  End of problem.  I'm sure they have some in-house sharks that can shove those bogus charges up the company's asses without breaking a sweat.

An update from the shooting gallery known as Chicago.

A young mother wounded while holding her infant son.  She was waiting for the bus after school on her way home.  Also waiting for the bus were two members of the conservative vice lords.  A car full of gangster disciples pulled up to the stop and fired 5 rounds.  They only hit one target, the mother.  She took the bullet in the thigh.

Anonymous Chicago police officers also have blogs.  They say that they are under intense POLITICAL pressure to not arrest the known gang bangers even when they are congregating on public housing property(this gets the public housing property managers in license review situations).  They're vehicles are in disrepair which makes them less likely to pursue any fleeing suspects.

Two suspects were arrested in the shooting.  It occurred at 4:20PM.  The suspects WERE NOT charged with attempted murder.

This is Mayor Daley's Chicago petitioning the SCOTUS to protect the rights of government to fabricate and perpetuate dangerous environments where working mothers take gunfire from rival gangs.

219 I thought that story was a joke when somebody posted it above.  Gonna be lots of competition for the Darwin awards this year.

someone aid myth busters disproved it...so guess the next of kin will be suing myth busters?

221 I can't shake the picture of the electrical arcing into the man's nether region. Ack!

If by this you are refering to democrats that continue to vote for healthcare reform killing their political life in the process....yes, I guess there's gonna be a lotta competition this year....the gene pool may not be quite so murky in the near future, soon as we start tossing out all the dead bodies...

223 > 232 Posted by: Peaches at March 02, 2010 12:17 PM (9Wv2j) someone aid myth busters disproved it... Posted by: curious Yeah, they "disproved it". Typical mythbusters work. Fun to watch, not very scientific. They were testing to see if peeing on the subway 3rd rail could kill you. Their urinating simulator wasn't convincing.

I am sure Larry Summers will remind us in September that Summer caused the unexpected surge in job creation and should continue through the harvest time. He will have no comment on sunspot activity. 

About that guy electrocuted in Washington. He suddently realized his US Senators are Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell. He thought it was the thing to do after reading Patty's anecdote delivered during the Health Summit about Marcellus and his dead mom. Too bad he had't heard about AoSHQ. He coulda got the same jolt.

"there was always gas in it on Friday night."

Dollar night at the Burrito Barn, huh?

Fubar -- oh, I'm not inconvenienced in the slightest...I make my kids walk or pedal everywhere they want to go (I never believed in that driving the kids like Ms. Daisy to school and whatnot...if it's 2 miles or less, walk; if over -- you have your bike, furthest you were going was 10 miles anyway, have fun).  Of course if it was something important like a dentist apppointment, I drove, but social stuff? work?  that's all under 5 miles away -- walk the dogs or pedal the bike, take your pick...unless you want the farm truck, in which case you pay the gas, and I need you to pick up 20 bales of hay -- hey, maybe your friends that you're hanging with can help you out with that).

We're mean parents.
