  1. I don't remember you being called an idiot. Did I miss something? Because if that's a fact, I can put a stop to that very easily.
  2. I think you're exactly right. GM knows they're under the microscope, they know they have to act on any possible problem. If they weren't under such intense scrutiny, who knows if this "stop sales" order would ever had been made.
  3. A "stop sales" order has been issued by GM on the new Corvette. And the beat goes on... http://www.autonews.com/article/20140911/OEM11/140919954/gm-issues-2-recalls-stop-sale-orders-for-2015-corvettes#
  4. This weeks car is a 2014 Tata Zest (India). Unfortunately, I lost my list of who got it right... but you know who you are because I always send a PM if your guess is right. Edit: found it... Draggon otherunicorn GeeBee Lovefordgalaxie Matt Bacon MikeMc
  5. "Ah yeah...can you see them out on the porch? Yeah, but they don't wave"....
  6. "Romeo was restless. He was ready to kill"...
  7. "Oh yeah, all right, take it easy baby, make it last all night"...
  8. "I had a dream... crazy dream"...
  9. This one's for you, Carl... not obscure at all, done by one of the biggest bands in all of pop music. "Now you are here today, But easily you might just slip away. 'Cause we live in a time, When paintings have no color, words don't rhyme."
  10. "Watching the Detectives" was written and originally recorded by Elvis Costello. Anything else is a cover version.
  11. They already know we're here. Why don't they join us? Moebius does. Where are the others?
  12. Good to know that they do listen, and react. But I think it would be terrific if they maintained an active presence on the major online forums (SA, MCM, Spotlight, etc.), the way Moebius does. If nothing else, it's good PR and promotes goodwill between the manufacturers and their customers. And if Revell, Round 2, etc. actually participated on the online forums, there would be far less reliance by forum members on hearsay, rumor, and innuendo. Let's face it... with no information coming from "the horse's mouth," hearsay, rumor, and innuendo are all we have.
  13. Now there's a model you can be proud of! Nice work. About the only "but" I can add is that the panel lines are too dark. But otherwise...
  14. I know, right? That's crazy talk...
  15. It would be nice. Makes sense to me.
  16. Maybe we would get some accurate, true, and relaible information and not have to rely so much on rumors and speculation? Just sayin'...
  17. That's a pretty bold prediction. You must have some sort of insider knowledge...
  18. Seasons in the Sun, Terry Jacks.
  19. You even have the engine paint on the battery cable. Now that's paying attention to the details...
  20. From Car and Driver instrumented tests... Mustang GT500: 0-60 3.5 seconds, 1/4 mile in 11.8 @ 125 MPH Challenger Hellcat: 0-60 3.6 seconds, 1/4 mile in 11.7 @ 126 MPH Mustang: 662 HP, 631 lb/ft torque @ 4,000 RPM Challenger: 707 HP, 650 lb/ft @ 4,000 RPM "Back in 2010, Ford was crowing about its 550-hp Shelby GT500. Chevy one-upped that in 2011 with the 580-hp Camaro ZL1. A few months later, Ford didn’t so much leapfrog Chevy as it did stomp its face into the mud as it ran away with its girlfriend and its mother, introducing the 662-horse 2013 GT500. Now Dodge officially ushers in the age of unreason with the 707-hp 2015 Challenger SRT Hellcat. Dodge quotes an 11.2-second quarter-mile on the tacky surface of an NHRA-certified drag strip, but the Pirellis feel so overstressed that hitting that low ET would also require dropping tire pressures to about 10 psi. (We always conduct our acceleration tests at the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressures.) At higher speeds, though, the Hellcat runs away from everything in its price range. It hits 150 mph in 17 seconds flat, 0.8-second ahead of the Viper and the same time as we recorded from the quickest C6 Corvette Z06 we ever tested. Indeed, it out-accelerates just about every front-engine, rear-drive car we’ve ever hooked our test gear to. Improving on this car’s acceleration would require moving the engine behind the driver—and preferably sending power to the front wheels, too."
  21. Apparently I'm stumping everyone. None of the last 10-15 I've posted have been guessed.
  22. Which is why they don't deliver letters.
  23. "She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965. She had legs that never ended, I was halfway paralyzed." "Well she'd held a bass guitar and She was playing in a band. And she stood just like Bill Wyman, Now I am her biggest fan."
