  1. I'm intrested to see how they are able to pass emission levels with that engine, Detroit Diesel phased out thier 2 strokes 20 years ago because couldn't meet incoming regulations. Then there is the blow by and oil leaks.
  2. Toyota and electronics there is a winning combination.
  3. Elton John, Dame Edna maybe it's the "pride edition" don't know what they would call the yellow in the picture but probably be coming out in flaming red :happy feet:
  4. All product sold in Canada must have ingredients, instructions and warnings in both official languages. Now as for the students this thread was about the school was wrong, if there was a disturbance it should have been dealt with by those actions not by the clothes someone was wearing(gang colors an exception). If you have a problem with people displaying their countries flag within their own borders maybe you shouldn't be in that country. Steve
  5. My thoughts are by having the Ram and Jeep brands separate you have 2 things to sell if things go bad. Well 3 if you count selling the car plants to turn into indoor paintball ranges. Steve
  6. I thought only Honda had built a robot.
  7. This is something the Toyota conspiracy nuts forgot about. VW has said they want to be the number 1 auto manufacturer in the world what better way to do that than kick the biggest competition in the dangly bits in their biggest market then step in and pick up some sales in VW's smallest. Time to "unpimp your auto sales". Steve
  8. Depends on the way the force went through the car, a rear end collision wont set off the air bags. If there was an accumulator there and the casing let go without rupturing the bladder there would be a loss of oil, not sure of automotive but hyd accumulators in heavy equipment depending on the system use a nitrogen charge of 800 to 1700 psi. The back window is on the ground behind the crowd. Since the rear window came out there is no more internal pressure and the guys leg was in the way to stop shrapnel there was nothing to break the side windows. The only question left is why someone is sure it is a photoshop. Steve
  9. Toyota outdoes the big three again biggest fine ever to an auto manufacture. :happy feet:
  10. Most of the arrogance and half truths comes from import owners justifying their pos. Steve
  11. How will repairing a pedal that "sticks" or "is slow to return" fix the problem? The problem is sudden acceleration not suddenly going the same speed or takes a hell of a long time to return to idle.
  12. Class action lawsuit started in Canada doesn't think it is the pedal either http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20100201/toyota_lawsuits_100201?s_name=&no_ads= quote from article "Our concern now is that the fix is not going to the heart of the problem which we allege is a faulty computer system," he told CTV News Channel Monday afternoon. "This problem has been going on for years in the United States primarily, starting in 2002 with a new computer system that was designed to regulate acceleration and braking."
  13. Should be amusing at the new car shows. Might have to go the to the local one this weekend.
  14. Before you start saying Kearl lake is a good thing for Alberta you should read this report from the AFL, there will not be any upgrading of the bitumen done here. That means lost jobs lost royalties and with trade agreements lost control of our resources. U.S refineries are making plans to upgrade and refine our resources and control the distribution and pricing of the finished product, and Premier Stelmach went down there to thank them for it, if we don't do something now to limit the export of our raw resources us and future generations are screwed!!!!! Check out the report here www.afl.org/upload/LostDownPipelineRevised.pdf and then sign the online petition here www.afl.org/subscribe2.html Steve
