LOL!!!

Not much of a sticker guy, myself, but I would seriously consider that in white on a black t-shirt.

Picked my GT up November 26th, and I am a little over 7000 today. Averaging 22.6 (hand calculated) mpg over that distance with the 3.55 rear end.

You think? I used to live in a neighborhood in Magnolia (about 40 years ago now) that very much had that "late 30s/early 40s" vibe in the construction techniques - especially the semi-sunken garages. Brings back memories....

That kind of looks like Magnolia - or maybe Queen Anne?

It's the greatest show.... in the world. (Not a fan of the US version though)

Worth a shot....

Oh, ok. So your cars weren't "destroyed" by the car wash. Thanks for clearing that up.

I mostly agree with you. The dealer that I buy from has an ADM sticker on every car on the lot. I have bought my last 7 cars from the same sales guy there, and the running joke is that when I find a car that I want, I pull the ADM sticker off, wad it up and hand it to him - saying "Let's start...

"Destroyed"? Hyperbole much? From m-w.com: Destroy: to cause (something) to end or no longer exist : to cause the destruction of (something) : to damage (something) so badly that it cannot be repaired Which of those 3 things did the car wash do to your two cars?

No, I don''t. And no, it wouldn't. My job, like everyone else's, is customer service. If my customer service skills are lacking, if I fail in my problem solving abilities, I am very likely to cost my employer a multi-million dollar customer. They pay me a fair amount of money because I have...

I will explain *my* reasoning - but you have to understand that I am an analyst by trade, and almost entirely driven by logic. When I look at a scale of 1-10 in survey, I understand it to mean that mean that it is not possible to do worse than a "1", and it is not possible to do better than a...

I come up with $37,734 - that includes the $825 Destination charge. Works out like this: Starting X-Plan: $34,210 Ruby Red: $357 Performance Pack: $2,255 A/W Mats: $86 Destination Fee: $825 (I think there is some "rounding error" in that calculation. When you add those items up it...

This is absolutely a pet peeve of mine. "Anything less than a perfect score is a failing score" I usually think "Really? Then your scoring system is broken." And for the record, pimping for specific answers isn't a survey, it's a push poll.

If I remember correctly, toggle switches on all Premiums, Paddle shifters only on Automatics. In all seriousness, if you had a manual transmission, what would you be using the paddle shifters for?

This is very true. I reset the "Trip 1" every time I fill up, but have not reset "Trip 2" since I have had the car. With about 6,300 miles on mine, Trip 2 shows a cumulative MPG of 23.6, while my hand-calculated (iPad app calculated) total is 22.3. I have had 2 anomalies though. In one...

Ok, so I happened to see your post while making the same drive today. I turned on AC and Recirc about 65 miles into my trip, with about 95 miles to go. I had to stop at a rest area an hour and 5 minutes later, and recirc was still on at that time. What seems strange to me is that recirc...

I keep seeing people mention this - I wonder why my car is different? I don't usually have recirculate on unless I am running the AC, but I tested about a month ago to see if it was a problem for me. I drove 150 miles with my Climate Control set to "Auto", AC off, temp set to 72, and Recirc...

I use mostly Craftsman and Mac tools. Most of the Mac stuff was inherited from my father and is more than 30 years old - still going strong. I have found few combination wrenches which hold up as well as the Craftsman ones. I know that I lot of people seem to like Snap On (I don't). But for a...

I really think that the point is that they SOLD him fasteners which were inadequate for the purpose. He bought them. They were part of the purchase price of his intake. I think that most reasonable people can agree that the area under the hood of a car is a harsh environment, and would expect...
