  1. Greg Focker: Hey Jack, why don't you tell 'em about your little phone call in Thai. Dina Byrnes: Jack can't talk Thai. Greg Focker: Oh no, Dina, Jack can talk Thai. Jack talk Thai real well. Damnit....we need Jack Byrnes to decode the web site
  2. Before you think that this will leave Lee destitute....know that he has many other interests that he is receiving $$$ from...next time you are in a grocery store...if they carry the Olivio brand of products. Check out who has his name on the product....you guessed it, Mr Iaccoca himself. I use it all the time...I like it. http://www.olivioproducts.com/company.html I personally think that the "new" New Chrysler company is shitting all over Lee......they should restore him to a position within the company, give him his pension and a vehicle and let him become the spokesperson for Chrysler....this time, without Snoop Dogg....

  5. One of the things I have noticed (from my days as a tire salesman) is a lot of the tires on new cars are put on without regard to the "guide dot' in bright ink/paint on the sidewall of the tire. The tire manufacturer will "dot" the tire so that the installer will know where to best position the tire on the rim to help balance the assembly out. Add the new TPMS sensors within the tire/rim assembly and I can understand why these tires are taking a lot more weights to get the assembly to balance out. The TPMS sensor needs a counter weight 180 degrees from the sensor to help balance it out, and the "dot" needs to go where the valve stem is so that the entire assembly takes less external weights.
  6. True...but, since the days of the modular engine are coming to a close....as well as the Panther chassis as we know it....I thought it was noteworthy of Ford to make this investment.....
  7. AM, a CNG Crown Victoria PI would not work since the CNG tank would take up too much room and then there would be the 75MPH rear crash test being compromised.
  8. I saw a NYS Trooper in a new Crown Vic and it had a neat little additional tag on the rear valence panel opposite the "POLICE INTERCEPTOR" badge....it was sporting a "FLEX FUEL" badge with the eco-leaf. Hmmmmm. So much for no new investment to the platform.
  9. Deanh....not everyone wants (or needs) a 300HP Focus....my buddies 79 year old father doesn't need one with 122HP, but his Focus sure has a lot of zip in her.
  10. +1 It's not like there are years of glory and legacy to this marque...it was started in 1990...the brain child of Roger Smith. The original "tenants" of Saturn are not even followed any longer. Different Kind of Car Company my
  11. It would be monumental if his middle name was Dale
  12. man, that Toyota on a tow hook is hilarious....I'll bet that heads are rolling on that snafu
  13. My local Ford/LM dealership has a 3.0L 2010 Fusion and Milan....both are flex-fuel as well.
  14. It's gonna take GM that long to get rid of all those Pontiac G3s
  15. Penske might just as well rename the whole she-bang "Penske" since Saturn too is a damaged brand....Ole Roger Smith must be laughing his ass off where ever he is (and, yes...I know he is dead) The good news is, if Penske is successful, DC Car might be able to scam a freebie loaner to "write" about.
  16. maybe he was referring to the "stock" of cars sitting unsold??
  17. FYI...both the Uniroyals and BF Goodrich tire lines are owned by Michelin.
  18. Hence, why he or anyone here will not get an apology from me over this...he posted it here, I gave my opinion, he doesn't like it, others lamely try to chime in and also don't like my opinion of his article...too damn bad... His "right" to put his flawed article here is as justified as my "right" to disagree with it completely.
